He will always be "my" captain. The one I grew up with watching re-runs on television with my mother. Rest in peace.

Yes, I see your point, but for me it gets a new dimension when it is happening on the government level.

Yes, a company can fuck you up but you can find a new provider. But if the government of the country can control allmost all the providers prohibits them to sell their services to you, that is more serious.

Hm that’s interesting, I would have thought that Pixar and Disney Animation use the same render software, but no.

I mean there are like a million reasons to replace American technology since .. well you know when...

Quite funny that the agent starts speaking with a French accent after reading French :D

I like the strumming part, could you add an option to not auto strum a chord when I do a chord change?

Interesting article, there is also youtube video by the author about it:

I don't buy that. We see nothing.

> Software teams are capturing a lot of the speedup in the form of more leisure or quasi-leisure time. (To greatly simplify: software teams are offering 2x speedups to their companies. They're then using tools that allow them to work 10x as efficiently, and taking nice long coffee breaks.)

That is just an insult. With AI we are working more than ever, either because of "you should be faster now" or because half the people are getting layed-off ...

At least the good thing about a hobby being a hobby is that no manager tells you what you should do.

All of this recomp stuff is pretty amazing. I really don't like how AI changed my profession, but hey at least I get something good from it.

So it Opus performs as well as Fable what is then the selling point of Fable?

All of this starts to feel more like a drug dealer selling their newest stuff.

In two weeks we probaly get Fable 5.2 with “groundbreaking” improvements, then Astra x+1 etc and then the cycle starts again.

And on the way I always have to check my tooling and need to adjust things to get max results.

I tried the Samsung one with the same form factor in a store , and that is pretty nice. As someone traveling via plane or train, I can easily see myself using this and not carrying my tablet with me. However, just too expensive for my taste. I get a lot of new batteries for my current 12 pro for that price .

I guess I wouldn't use it, but I just bought two of the asset packs of the pixel artist instead.

At one of last Blender conferences, the founder (and at that time CEO) gave some insights about funding and compared it to Thunderbird. https://youtu.be/VZ5022VaMmA?si=m1hD9wEQ16s8Zu3b&t=1297 ;

Fore More recent numbers: In 2024[1] (last info I found), Blender had 3.1m € in donations (600k more than the year before) and Thunderbird had around 9m € [2].

I kind of get it, Blender is way more niche than Thunderbird, but imagine what they could do with even more money.

[1] https://download.blender.org/foundation/Blender-Foundation-A... on page 76 [2] https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/10/state-of-the-bird-2024-... I did the money conversion based on today's exchange rates

I am using Blender since my Master thesis in 2017. It is impressive how much has happened. Also giving some money to them because they don't get that much donations (if you compare it to Thunderbird for example).

I hope for the EU to come after Sony. Before you could argue that you could buy games as a disc and just play them. It of course was a monopoly before, but now it is pretty clear

> astronomical productivity benefits

I can't take the article seriously...

If this wouldn't be under Mozilla/Thunderbird Org on Github, I would have considered this to be fake. It looks very unsubstantial ...

Since the rise of AI systems I really wonder how people wrote code before. This is exactly how I planned out implementation and executed the plan. Might have been some paper notes, a ticket or a white board, buuuuut ... I don't know.

I am a huge fan of OpenSuperWhisper (https://github.com/Starmel/OpenSuperWhisper). Works local and is more than enough for me.

Not only is the website layout horrible to read, it also smells like the article was written by AI. My brain just screams "no" when I try to read that.

Last thing I did when I was a student was to buy the Apple pro apps bundle for education. It still haven't regretted it :D

So, if you are a student, you can get logic, final cut, motion, compressor and mainStage for $199.99 for ever.

Maybe it is only me, but all the emojis in the readme look like AI wrote it and instantly make stop reading it ...

In the future we all will use 50 different Chromium based browsers

After Atlassian renaming products to apps (and anything else to "work"), I thought it cannot become worse this year. I was wrong.

Apple TV+ was already confusing enought ... "No you don't need an Apple TV, it is just a name" ...

Yeah, who cares about the enviroment... who needs water and energy, if you AI agent can give you better pep talk

I got a 5 year old Lenovo Thinkcentre for free and tried multiple desktops. The only desktop that had great scaling at a 4k screen was KDE. Gnome was okay with 1x or 2x scaling, but 1.3x ... big nope. Did not work out, performance was very bad.

With the end of Windows 10 support, I installed KDE Neon on my parents computers. Works fine, they can use it. Even on the Surface Pro 5 touchscreen, KDE works great.

In the past I was using Gnome (or Ubuntu's Unity) and never was a fan of KDE, but right now (especially because of the great 4k scaling), I really like it.

I don't get the hate ... yes, it is a lot of boilerplate, but at the same time it is very explicit and doesn't hide complexity.

I also have tried Emby, that worked great too. I installed it via docker and have both Plex and Emby running.

I did the same like 2 years ago, but I am using Plex on my NAS. That gives me both, flexibility and owning my music. Only downside is that I don’t want to open ports to the outside, so I use WireGuard on my router.
