Not wearing seatbelts is preposterous.

Social media ...

This is a good thing!

Nope.

Enshittification at its best.

When I realized how much ads manipulate me and my thinking, I stopped consuming radio/TV stations that send ads. This was >= 25 years ago. Additionally, I never surf without ad blocking and use DNS based ad blocking on all my devices + in our home router (nextdns). Besides this, I like to pay for the content I am interested in - which helps against ads. This is my personal mostly ad free bubble, I couldn't stand it any different.

What is X?

One day "real programmers" will be gold.

I still love programming. Even more so after trying out llm coding in some projects.

Even better: learn to code yourself.

Don't think so.

This is also my experience with (so called) AI. Coding with AI feels like working with a dumb colleague that constantly forgets. It feels so much better to manually write code.

100% agree.

Consequent move.

Can we just stop putting the "I" behind the "A"? Thanks.

AI is/will be the mother of all bubbles.

It's getting better soon. Have a look at the jmap standard and stalwart, a high performant jmap server implementation in rust. This is the future!

Remindes me on a german joke where Fritzchen responds very quickly with a wrong answer to his teachers question, claiming: "Not the right answer - but damn fast!".

"[..] Trust, security, and privacy guide every product and decision we make. [..]"

One word: Enshittification.

To streamline sales and minimize production costs.

This is the enshittification of cars.

Disturbing — this kind of progress sucks! I want reliable things that I own that are under my own control. We should all stop immediately buying this out-of-our-own-control stuff!

"[..] With that being said though, this ordeal has made us think more deeply about entrusting data with external SaaSes and ensuring that we own our data is definitely going to be a very big priority going forward. I’d encourage you to think the same way! [..]"

Full ack!

I just claude would'nt be so slooooow...

Best comment ;)

Not to degenerate is really challenging these days. There are the bubbles that simulate multiple realities to us and try to untrain us logic thinking. And there are the llms that try to convice us that self thinking is unproductive. I wonder when this digitalophily suddenly turns into digitalophobia.

O observed that claude produces a lot of bloat. Wonder how such llm generated projects age.
