mg794613··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
1. It's not a assumption. Only americans use terms like "classical european" 2. "Those Europeans with their opinions" are the problem and not the manchild elected in place? yeah, so point 1.
mg794613··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
Exactly, Trump isn't the cause, it's the result.

The American dream personified.

mg794613··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
"Classic Europeans."

Only a Trump fan could think that's a smart response.

mg794613··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
"America by virtue of simply being America always has a seat at the table."

Nope, that's exactly what it has lost.

mg794613··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
Never again America.

All your negotiation power across the world, gone, because of one Orange person.

And not because he secretly took power, because you elected him, twice.

mg794613··on Dutch governments builds alternative for Microsoft based on NixOS
Thanks Trump, Europe was never this united before.

Not by your choosing, but still.

mg794613··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
Ah, the next research topic where a human did all the hard work only for Claude to present it as its own.

Feels like Claude is becoming one of those "product owners" that claim successes on themselves.

mg794613··on Raspberry Pi blocks changing RAM chips
"We do it to protect you and ensure our quality"

Nah, they got big enough and now you think you can pull Apple tricks, good luck with that.

mg794613··on Dutch central bank moves share of gold from U.S., Canada to London
That is what the pamphlet says.

Fact is, it was not a issue before, because of trust.

"for more resilience against a backdrop of increased geopolitical risk." is just nice wording for "Trump is burning down all bridges".

mg794613··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
At least, according to the very trustworthy Claude.

"privileged take"?, sorry I am not from the US, so I don't compete in the sorry-o-lympics.

Nothing is stopping you from using it for free at home, everyone is privileged in that regard.

And it was obvious to everyone else, I was talking about decisions you can take yourself. I'll try better in the future to be hyper explicit about this, so people who are looking for a reason to feel hurt will have a harder time.

My goodness, this has nothing to do with AI problems.

I don't understand that people still buy an OS from a company that actively hates it's customers.

The amount of things they pull should not even be succesful on a OS you get paid FOR to use.

mg794613··on U of Michigan drops first-semester grades to ‘curb mental health crisis’
On all fronts we are having a easier time than before. Healthcare, safety, life expectancy, disease, mental health (yes, you disagree, but it not being existant in the past kinda sets tue bar).

So what do you mean with "uncertain environment"?

mg794613··on Show HN: Mindwalk – Replay coding-agent sessions on a 3D map of your codebase
"Claude, can you copy gource and put my name on it, no slop lol"
mg794613··on Making a vintage LLM from scratch
"The code is semi-vibe-coded with whatever LLM I had with VS-Code and PI (OpenRouter models)."

I appreciate the honesty, but now there's no journey, and that's what I'm interested in. I can ask a LLM myself.

mg794613··on Making Graphics Like it's 1993
There is nothing wrong with using AI.

What I don't like is to see claims like "no AI slop"

And yet it's riddled with emdashes and language "by hand"

Seeing the skills of the writer, he definitely should be able to, but then I don't understand the claim.

mg794613··on LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do
Every 3 lines coming out of Claude has got a bug in it.

There is going to be a lot of demand for people to clean it up.

mg794613··on I put a datacenter GPU in my gaming PC
Very interesting, but slight note on the fact that writer sort of forgets to calculate in the price of the 4080 it works together with.

He spend 200 to upgrade his existing setup, great nonetheless. But not "32gb gram for only 200 bucks"

mg794613··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
That's because your usecases were simple and/or small.

Otherwise, you would have known.

Unless you don't have experience and you believe the whole "You are right! it _is_ a and not b" bs...

mg794613··on Singapore introduces caning for boys who bully others at school
It doesn't matter which rules and policies you have in place, if teachers are afraid of some parents, or simply tired of some, they will neglect or look away from your child being abused.

Which is a direct result of parents influence on the schools.

mg794613··on Brazil's Pix payment system faces pressure from Visa and Mastercard
Visa and Mastercard are just secret services of the USA by now.

Couldn't be more glad that Trump is unknowingly bringing down that hegemony and freeing us from the arm twisting USA.

mg794613··on Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac
Yoink, I'm stealing this quote!
mg794613··on Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac
Wow, have you seen his resumé?

There is no language or culture barrier here. This guy knows exactly what he's doing.

We'll wait while you check it out :D

mg794613··on Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac
The brazen part is Andrey Letov pretending to not understand.
mg794613··on Tar Files Created on macOS Display Errors When Extracting on Linux (2024)
Oh Arul John, just because you don't understand, means it's a error.

What horrible advice also to download different tar versions, for something that should just be explained properly.

If it weren't for the "2024" in the title, I would have thought this to be a result from AI.

But it's not artificial intelligence. It's real stupidity.

mg794613··on Why TUIs are back
When kubernetes got introduced, we didnt want to interact with only webpages/fronts.

So we created tooling we know on the CLI.

Every person here that thinks its AI that caused the resurgence of CLI tools is a vibe coder who just entered the scene this year.

mg794613··on Tripwire: An experiment in zip bombing bad actors
I wouldn't mind a open source initiative of some sorts to collect this data and battle them.
mg794613··on DeepSeek v4
You got me in the second half!
mg794613··on MeshCore development team splits over trademark dispute and AI-generated code
Lovely, another open source rugpull.

Is this the new way? Attract a lot of developers, and when you think you can sell the product , you take all their code and call it your own.

Has this worked out for someone so far?

One more step, and we're in Poland.
