Cool! Windows 11 really needs a better file browser. Will give this a try for sure!

Currently using Explorer without the Windows 11 skin. Also tried FilePilot and TotalCommander. But what I really want is Windows explorer with tabs; more or less.

It would be interesting to hear from a Microsoft engineer about what’s going on in there. Explorer is a pretty important piece of the experience, and its currently a nightmare.

Did someone perhaps come here after watching Sebastian Lague’s pen plotter video?

There is a brief mention of chaos terrain while he searches the surface of Mars for an interesting plot.

And here I was hoping for Rust support in Visual Studio.

How come my MasterCard is only a MasterCard. We need to sue them! It should be an Visa and an IKEA card too!

In Sweden we often think of our selves as socialist. I suspect it means something very different across the pond. Anyone care to elaborate on the differences?

Does it mean I won’t get any AI generated slop spam for a few hours?

Why is there a fee at all? This is all sponsored by taxes anyway.

Why would a malicious library author limit their maliciousness to the build script?

The new packing law makes selling direct to customers in EU tricky and expensive for small operators. I understand the spirit of what they are trying to achieve. But missing out on having a single register is unforgivable.

I’m surprised session cookies, and cookies in general, are not already encrypted? But I suspect this is a more clever scheme?

Really cool! I’d love to try those switches. Can’t imagine using a non-split keyboard though. Great work regardless. Stunning.

Can’t even get my friends to buy a used electric car instead of a diesel. Which is an improvement in drivability and comfort - maybe a mild inconvenience for some. Imagine trying to make humans do larger changes in their lives. I think, this won’t happen voluntarily.

So with Chat Control 2.0 your nudes are collected and viewed by some creeps in a room somewhere. They are automatically viewed — nej, shared — with a bunch of strangers. Great.

Game play bots (monsters, commanders maybe) would be really cool. But it needs long term support and probably local AI instead.

What are your use case for these? I’m manly interested in coding where more capability is better - give me a 10x model at 10x the price and I’ll take it. A worse model at very low cost has no appeal to me. At-least not for coding. Translation maybe? OCR?

They portray 5h charging at home as a downside. Something to scorn at. But, how long does it take to fill up a diesel truck at home? I haven’t gone to a gas station since getting an EV a few years ago. It trickle charges while I sleep. This is easily the biggest convenience.

I can see three reasons:

1. They have left over capacity that will go unused otherwise. Most users have hit their limits before the end of the week. Might as well get some use out of the servers.

2. A backend change made migrating usage tracking hard, inaccurate, or impossible.

3. A usage tracking issue meant the usage wasn’t accurate anyway and they needed a reset to save face / avoid contract breach.

The addiction or marketing strategy seems too clever. Why explain something with cleverness that can be explained by laziness or stupidity.

I run Windows on all my computers but was pleasantly surprised by the desktop mode on SteamOS. The incredible number of options on a simple config dialog such as changing the keyboard layout was incredibly impressive (which isn’t SteamOS specific but rather a Gnome thing?).

Every time I try one of the newer models I don’t want to go back. What is the value of a dumper model? It makes more mistakes. Wastes more of my time. At anything below Opus 4.8 I’m better of writing code myself. As a tools, it needs to outperform me. Unfortunately, it tends to be lazy. Which is rather ironic from a machine. We taught it well. Alignment is not an issue :’)

I was thinking this too. Then it might as well look like a normal font. But copy-paste and you get a garbled mess. Screen readers though.

Absolutely, but more focused on smaller groups. Family and friends. I think it has to do with the encryption scheme. Large groups are probably tricky. Therefore the app isn’t built for them. But small groups are perfectly fine.

Sounds a lot like we might as well use Discord?

Agreed. I don’t see the appeal compared to Signal. Although, Signal is also sketchy with an operating cost in the tens of millions of dollars per year. Where does the money come from?

Are people still using Telegram? What is the upside compared to Signal?

Remember people. We didn’t die form the 2k bug. We didn’t die when the Maya calendar ran out. We didn’t die from that asteroid or the other. Spreading fear is a very old pastime. How is to say AI won’t hit a wall in 6 months and we’re left with barley passable code parrots forever?

I play a lot. Competitive shooters mostly. Most of them are unplayable for one or two reasons. Cross play (controllers with aim assist) and cheaters. As a PC player I would like to see no aim assist and actual consequences for cheating. I’ll gladly verify my real world identity, if it meant cheaters where banned once and forever. I’ve heard this is how it works in Korea (claim not verified) and could see it work here too as most of Europe has access to very UX friendly state sponsored digital ID.

If there were actual stakes to cheating, it would be less prevalent. Now you can create another account and keep playing. Often for free!

On a side note. How come replay analysis doesn’t catch more cheaters?

It seems a lot of people are doing amazing things with Patreon. Share some things for free (free as in beer) then have a paid tier for those who want more. Convince us you’re worthy, then we’ll give you money willingly.

Im pretty sure it is illegal. In my understanding, it must be equally easy to reject and accept. And the website MUST continue working under either choice. Which is not the case here.

I think the lawmakers should have made all forms of tracking illegal instead. That would make law writing and following easier. And closer to the spirit of what they are trying to accomplish and what everyone wants (except you Silicon Valley O.o)

So what platforms will this apply too? What platforms Dow sit already apply too? All SMS, large email providers (Gmail?), WhatsApp, Apple services?

I’ve heard the Gleba gripe in many places but I don’t understand what people are frustrated about. I really liked the challenge. Care to elaborate?
