Don't see any slop in the code. Good job!

Why read when we can have the hundreds of pages summarized to 5 pages using AI? /s

Still can't stand Chrome.

No slop. Love it.

A popular tool preceding the days of YouTube reviews, used for testing and reviewing displays.

Waiting for someone to say this was always the case, not just post Microsoft's takeover.

Looks like AI and I look away from any image generated by a LLM. It's my easy internal filter to weed out everything that isn't art.

Instantly, I don't want to look at the App Store anymore.

There are other applications with that implemented, with GenAI too.

Crypto: GPUs

AI: RAM

Thanks for taking away years of affordable computing from people. Time is more valuable; there's no getting it back.

Better Valve/Steam than Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Epic or the rest.

Gambling / trading aside, they're doing a pretty fine so far.

Someone needs to make a KDE, XFCE theme of this.

Someone who's not from India might say, biometrics and centralized IDs are great tools to offer benefits to citizens. This is true, but when it is not, when a government is not trust-worthy, because of its own history of doing things this way.

They said that all your other IDs will be made invalid if you don't "opt-in" to Aadhaar. They essentially blocked you from using all pre-existing, valid IDs. They now in this ingratiating way ask us, don't you see the convenience?

I guess I'm only using Reddit on a desktop/laptop. No way I'm using Reddit's official app since the rest died out.

Best known for their sound solutions, Creative even made graphics cards in the early 2000s. The Creative GeForce 2 Ultra, with its bright green RAM heatsinks! What a tasteful looking (and performing) card that was.

Read crypto and I'm out.

Sorry, but I think that movement has stolen enough GPUs (and enjoyable / productive time) from creative artists and gamers over the years.

I love this. Every feed and comment based service should use this.

Yes, I like that I've paid for an operating system that tells me all the affairs someone is having right in my system tray.

Windows 2000 felt like a tank. You'd boot it thinking it was meant to run servers and web sites, but you could run it on your PC, and play games on it. It was robust. You could finally boast of high uptimes like the Linux folk!

I'm squinting as I read this.

Oh wow, DFI!? Where have they been?

Oh, I use the A158, which looks like a metal version of the F-91W. Really basic, but functional tech.

Also, how people choose to behave knowing their identities are concealed.

I strongly believe the nature of a society is best visualized through its traffic sense. Whether it's showing empathy, collaborating, cooperating, patience, discipline, following rules, the anything-will-do attitude, etc.

I'm expecting the sabotaging nature will have a ton of people consciously going out of the way to screw up everyone else.

I was thinking about this. Someone ought to make a tool that exports browser bookmarks into a static, but presentable startpage.

I have so many mixed feelings about this. I've always been a big Flickr fan. I absolutely loved the Explore section.

It had a set of really nice photos that I would spend every evening after working, browsing, sipping on a cup of tea and listening to music. I find some fun groups, some people who click some great photos on some really impressive gear which I don't own, but I would love to. The quality of Explore dropped drastically, sometimes showing up weird, creepy things, or something just random photos. It didn’t seem curated at all.

Fast-forward to recent times, I've seen Flickr bought and sold, schemes changed and more. There have been times of instability on the site, the Yahoo! login has been a pain. Performance has been erratic as a whole.

At a time where Instagram, Google Photos (and other cunning) services are the only healthy (in terms of users), ‘social’ photo hosting services, Flickr to my naive mind stands out so I don't want to see it go away. I started paying for a Flickr Pro to support it, even backed up my entire photo base to it. Now, I’m not sure if I need find alternatives

I feel the e-mail sounds more personal, than the usual two-faced PR spiel we see from larger corporations. It's nice that Smugmug appears to have good intentions, but it hasn't treated Flickr too well either. Logins have been broken in the recent past, there have been several outages, terrible migration attempts that almost speak of incompetence. Of late, it says I can't login using Firefox. Once logged in (after setting a different User Agent), it works perfectly fine.

So I really don't know what to feel.

That is so crazy! I've been looking at the interface for years now and I thought, this feels so home-like.

Ha ha! Thank you.
