Cycling at 5am is the best thing ever. Streets are empty, it's not yet hot, I can listen to birds.
I fucking love it.

I'm writing about everything I find interesting. So probably mainly politics, both local and international, but other things as well.
Currently mainly concerned about demographic collapse.
I'm trying to be active here in English only, but I'm not very good at it 😅 so activity in Polish is also possible

Fuck me.
It's yet another time when I had some idea for startup/company and quickly abandoned it because "this is trash, no one would pay for it" (not only reason, but one of the reasons) only to find that there is a startup doing literally the thing and raising millions.
What is wrong with me.
Is it only for me, that Firefox had the best logo in 2009, and everything after that is slow degradation?
It's 12 months since Dario said that AI will write 90% of the code.
So my question is: are you using agentic coding? Does it write all the code for you?

I don't think I will get more than 5 answers to the poll, but let's try anyway 😅
"People shouldn't code manually anymore, I don't do it, I don't even read the code and I don't think you should"

What the actual fuck. Everything for a company in super regulated market.
It's been around 7 years since #vim and later #neovim are my main text/code editors and to this day I don't get this micro management and/or gamification of configs. Spending hours working on it just to cut 17ms from startup time.
I'm doing updates (including plugin updates) to my config very rarely, as I don't treat it as yet another project to care about but as my editor that I want to just use.
I gave up with almost everything I tried in order to #degoogle and "deBigTech". I'm also stopping everything I have #selfhosted except for #pihole
Fighting alone, when everyone else around me (friends, family, coworkers) doesn't care at all, doesn't make sense to me.
I will keep some things I already moved, but that's all.
Good luck to other, I hope at least you'll succeed
@mijndert@toot.community Tester Army, I found them on newest YC batch, as I was interested if there is a single non-AI company there (probably not)
TBH I still don't know why would anyone pay for it when what they are doing is IMO simply running AI Agent with something like fancy "test it" system instruction.

@dgar@aus.social I get the anti-MS sentiment (and I agree with it), but looking at the numbers then Win11 is gaining users even faster than Win10 was.
On holidays hundreds of kilometers from home? No problem, I could still play on my home PC.
The screen was a bit too small, but not a big issue. The rest worked flawlessly.
I connected via Tailscale to RPi at home, sent WoL to PC. Later connected to PC running Sunshine with Moonlight from phone.
I finally got another person in the project doing same things as me, so I finally have someone to even do such basic thing as get code review from.
So I asked: "what do you think about X, or maybe we should switch to Y or Z?"
I got few paragraphs of AI generated response 🙄 when "I think Y would be OK" would be enough for me.
People are complaining all the time how shitty search engines became in last few years (myself included), but are "we" doing anything about it?
It's probably a bad idea, but what if there were some kind of open index, where people could help to build it either based on their real usage (w/out any sensitive or PII data ofc) or by sharing their resources to crawl the web? And later create search engine based on this index, with all these features we're missing from "old google"?

@nthcdr @bbatsov don't use it to do the work for you. You should do the work and then ask it for advices and suggestions how to improve it. According to MIT research that showed that people are in fact getting more stupid from using AI it was the only path that showed that people were using brain more than before using AI

@Jamoteusz supcio, dzięki [bez hejtu]. A prawdę mówiąc, wcześniej o tym BiznesOferty nawet nie słyszałem. Zapamiętam na przyszłość.
A tak serio, to dodałem to zdanie o hejtowaiu, bo zbyt wiele osób bierze takie, IMO neutralne, pytania do siebie i traktuje jako atak. Co uważam za głupie i że powinniśmy to jako społeczeństwo zmienić.

@Jamoteusz nie żebym twierdził, że linkedin jest super (bo nie jest), ale jakie portale będą lepsze stricte biznesowo?

@rood@aus.social They are not rescuing people. They are trafficking them. If it were about their safety from drowning, they wouldn't be sailing such close to Libyan shore to take people from there and transport them to Italy. If it were about their safety, they'll be released in Libyan ports.
Github or not Github for releasing some open source stuff?
I do not really like Github for many reasons, but IMHO releasing on any other service is a bit like shooting into the void.
It's a bit different when well known project leaves Github from me (no one) releasing on other service, because in the first case at least part of community and maintainers would go with the project, when in second one people would just shrug and forget.
LLMArena and specifically their coding leaderboard, where 27b Qwen model is 20 positions higher than 675b Mistral model shows really good, how slow Mistral is and how much they are lagging behine Chinese open source competition, not even mentioning American SOTA models.

@mukto_manob@mastodon.social @rysiek@mstdn.social in case of linux on phones there's one HUUUGE issue – lack of apps. We wouldn't have people en masses moving to linux, because there would be no apps. And there would be no apps, because devs wouldn't care about OS without users. It's a circular dependency and even MS wasn't able to break it with throwing money on devs to make apps for Windows Phone. And they tried it decade ago, when number of apps was notably smaller.
I'm not sure if anyone have any idea how to break it

Update: this search engine (and index) have some potential, but unfortunately it's not yet usable.
First tests were promising just because it was returning results for certain specific queries, where I explicitly knew what I expect it to return.
But for day to day usage it misses too much, most of the times there isn't even option to suggest other results if you made a typo in your search query.
So sadly, I'm back to Google for search engine

@rysiek@mstdn.social no, I love that people are trying. I'm just trying to be realist. Which doesn't mean that I like it

It's funny how people can complain that ignorant people do something, which is bad, and yet they themselves are equally ignorant just in different topic.
But I agree with all other things, AI video generation is still bullshit and unfortunately is used for scams, fakes and nothing good in general
Replying to
@mukto_manob@mastodon.social @rysiek@mstdn.social sorry, but without some kind of revolution there's no chance that linux on phone would gain even the level it have on PC, where it's still just a small niche.
People need apps to switch. And whioe there are a lot of gres OSS apps that I'm sure would be created for it, there's 0 chance for Google, Meta, MS or banking apps. And what's what regular people need.
I could switch to linux if I had my banking app and few more, but it's not even working on custom ROMs.

@theron29@witter.cz my reasoning is that I have to fight with literally everyone, about both (de)googling and using big tech products and services in general.
In current form (which I'm not able to change, although I've tried) I need to live inside Google ecosystem, use whatsapp, have fb account etc.

@zeldman@front-end.social I stopped using them, even though I really like them. I did that after I was called bot 1 or 2 times, just because of them in my post or comment (don't remember now, but it doesn't matter)
Replying to
@DGutie@social.linux.pizza thanks. I know what you write, and while I personally was able to do bigger steps, I was trying to do them as small as possible with everyone around. Looks that just making those super teeny tiny steps was way too much for everyone around me.
How is it that China can speedrun and massively build, grow and use their own tech (both hardware and software) while we in Europe can just talk for years about the same thing and do nothing?
Replying to
@rysiek@mstdn.social they are trying to close it down to the level how Apple is doing it after loosening their rules, so IMO European Comission wouldn't to anything about it. Sadly.
Hey #cycling people!
If you do rides on indoor trainer, do you use Zwift or MyWhoosh? If yes, do you care about their gamification or social features, virtual worlds and routes, or you just ride there and care just about the numbers (power, time, etc.)
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who is watching youtube or listen to some podcast and their UI is only annoying.
Replying to
@necrophcodr@layer8.space sure. But bigger chance is that people might want to contribute or even report bugs when it's where they have account and not to create one on some small platform just for this one ticket or commit
I keep reading how first SpaceX, and later Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs will fail spectacularly, that bubble will finally burst, that they all will go bankrupt.
And I would really like them to go fuck themselves, bankrupt and repay for every damage they did.
But I don't think it will happen and all these stories about them failing are just cope.

I was reading a lot on Reddit how people shit on Claude Code that they use whole 5h usage with few prompts, but didn't really believe it, as I use it at work and was never even close to using it all.
Until today.
On daily basis I use Claude Sonnet 4.6 and it's ok. But I switched to Opus today to check something.
I have 2 observations:
1. It's really fast, faster than Sonnet for me
2. With 2 not that complex prompts I used 30% of my 5h usage 🤣
@skywalker2k17@nerdculture.de yep, I know that. But this is the thing - I basically was able to leave just gmail (which I was using as spam email anyway) and that's all. Which isn't degoogle at all.

@Jamoteusz@mastodon.com.pl there is also Kagi approach - paid search, but no ads.
Such movement would have to be carefully planned, and while I'm thinking about how could it work in theory, I'm too dumb, and with no free time (mostly this), to even try it on a tiny scale

MSFT was throwing money on developers to create Windows Phone version of their apps to get traction and even it failed misearably. I'd love linux phone to be usable as day to day driver and I'd happily switch, but let's be real, it wouldn't happen.
The only chance is that EU/China would force devs to do so.
