crazybonkersai··on Disney Raising Prices Days After Confirming Ads Will Now Show Up on Every Tier
I cancelled a shared Disney subscription when they started cracking down on accounts shared between different households. Same with Netflix and HBO. Now I torrent everything using Transmission, Sonarr and Plex stack and couldn't be happier. UX is on par with paid services and don't have to deal with this ads bullshit. Paid streaming was nice while it lasted, but now torrents seem like a much better alternative.

Are their models any good though? Do anybody use them or even care apart from the fact they are European.
crazybonkersai··on Why Sweden is abandoning its cashless society
Sweden had no problem remaining neutral through all the previous wars involving both sides, including those fought in Europe. This conflict is no different, yet for reasons that remain unclear, Sweden has chosen to make a dramatic departure from its longstanding policy of neutrality. Whether this turns out to have been a gigantic strategic blunder or the result of NATO pressure that Sweden simply couldn’t withstand remains to be seen.
crazybonkersai··on Why Sweden is abandoning its cashless society
Funny that Sweden abandoned its 200-year neutrality and joined NATO in the name of security and yet security situation for Sweden has only deteriorated since then. Shows how short sighted and brainwashed Swedish politicians are.
crazybonkersai··on Apple's new 'Switch to Safari' campaign details why you should ditch Chrome
I switched to Brave and could not be happier. Chrome user experience without creepy panopticon.
crazybonkersai··on QGIS enacts moratorium on AI contributions
Will it? With proper guidance llms produce much better code and find more bugs than I ever could. For example I have never been bothered to fix python typing for my project and left it hanging for years. But with llms and one prompt later I fixed it all at once.
crazybonkersai··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
And 100% I know have returned. Your point?

According to Bloomberg 45% of relocants have returned by 2024 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/05/02/russians-returning...

Russian sources state that that around 80% have returned. True number is probably somewhere in between.

crazybonkersai··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
Yandex, Kaspersky, Telegram, Intellij (including Kotlin), Nginx, VK to name a few. All those are coming from Russia.
crazybonkersai··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
Majority has come back though after realization that the West does not really welcome Russians with open arms.
crazybonkersai··on Programming Isn't Special
I don't know, I learned to like agentic programming. It felt intimidating at first, but now I fully embraced it. Granted I am still anxious what will happen to the developer job market, but for my own projects agentic programming has been a god send.

You can. First by clicking view partners and then save and exit. Shitty ux though
crazybonkersai··on September 2026: The world today, as seen by one Polish guy
The most sensible thing the EU could do right now is make peace with Russia and stop this confrontation before it is too late. NATO has been deaf to Russia’s security concerns for decades, so maybe it is finally time to listen.

And before the NATO zealots, warmongers and NATO wannabes come here crying that you cannot trust Russia and that war is the only way (provided, of course, that you are not the one fighting), let’s address that right away.

You cannot trust Russia

Russia has maintained good relationships with a lot of countries, but none of them are NATO members or NATO wannabes. And, as a reminder, it was NATO that broke promises about not expanding eastwards.

You cannot deal with a country waging a war.

Yes, you can. Just take a look at Israel or the USA. One is committing a genocide in real time, while the other has been waging wars of aggression for ages. European leaders have no problems dealing

crazybonkersai··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
Could you provide a link to this interview? I am genuinely interested.
crazybonkersai··on There is more to code review than (automatable) detection
At a workplace we have a review skill which includes things like skipping nitpicks and trivial issues. Myself I just use a simple prompt, as well as Copilot review on Github. There is a school of thought to use a different model for a code review and code generation, but I have no opinion about that.
crazybonkersai··on There is more to code review than (automatable) detection
This does not reflect my experience. AI code review has improved tremendously in the last years to the point that nobody in my team does manual code review any more. It used to be ridiculously bad two years ago, but not any more.

Google does not monetise Albania or something like that

Connect to VPN in Albania and you will get ad free YouTube experience. You are welcome.
crazybonkersai··on Breaking Up with Google Play: Why Conversations Is Now Free
Some eight years ago I worked on a Chrome extension with monetization support. I could not get payment working using Google APIs, no matter what I tried it errored with obscure undocumented error messages. Finally I reached out to their customer support and got swift overly friendly response. Several messages later, I still got these overly friendly elaborated messages, but the issue did not proceed anywhere. I kept explaining my problem and they assured me that they are working on it. Eventually I got bounced to their Android support (my problem concerned Chrome store), which made me think either they were taking a piss or used this tactique on purpose. I eventually abandoned the whole idea. Nowadays I would attribute their response to chatbots considering how elaborated and friendly, but yet totally useless their messages were, but this was before LLMs
crazybonkersai··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Idk, those are more than alright to my eye. Surely they won't win any design awards, but as a throwaway poster for one time event these are miles better than any amateur work.
crazybonkersai··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
Not at all, I take ungrounded claims like this with a grain of salt.
crazybonkersai··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
You wait for 20 or more years for documents become unclassified and historians to do their job.
crazybonkersai··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
You can use the same logic about shit happening in Russia too. E.g. EU meddling in elections in Russia. Western security apparatus was behind Crocus City Hall attack. Ukrainian drones are launched from European countries and EU is actively involved in planning these attacks . All these claims were made by Russian media and politicians. Do you believe these as well, considering EU benefits the most from the weak Russia?
crazybonkersai··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
By reading multiple sources by different parties and thinking for yourself. Truth is the first casualty of war.
crazybonkersai··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
Except that none of cases were proven. For one, recent attempts to blow up power lines in Germany were done by a German individual. Or remember how Russia was accused for blowing up Nord Stream. It never made any sense, but still European politicians and Western media fiercely pushed this narrative.

Get some critical media literacy and stop listening to NAFO trolls.

crazybonkersai··on Jellyfin 12.0
Coming from Plex, I gave Jellyfin a try, but returned back to Plex after several months. My biggest gripes were poor subtitle support and inability to differintiate TV shows from movies stored in the same folder. Does this version improve these issues?
crazybonkersai··on Why some US restaurants are banning tips
Of course you can tip and nobody would refuse one. The difference is tipping is not expected by default and you get same service regardless of your tip. In contrast many years ago a waiter in a NYC restaurant made my then girlfriend crying when the waiter decided that the tip was not big enough. Is this great American service people here keep raving about?
crazybonkersai··on Why some US restaurants are banning tips
Ah much generalisation. Europe is over 40 countries with vast differences in quality of service and restaurant culture. I have been to restaurants in many European countries and the only generalisation I can make is that tip culture does not exist in Europe.

Looks like a belt driven bicycle to me. :D
crazybonkersai··on Saying 'Google It' Makes You Sound Old
In Finnish there is an acronym KVG (katso vittu Googlesta) which stands roughly for Look up on the fucking Google. I wonder what will replace it in the age of LLMs
