These people are clueless.
Software engineers still have a job to do, AI has just changed it, said Ethan Mollick, an associate professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and author of the upcoming book Co-Existence.
“Now it’s not about who can write the most code,”
Who the fuck... when the fuck... it's NEVER been about who writes the most code.
I've been having occasional Internet issues over the last few years and was thinking about having a backup ISP.
A lot of people in my town suggest Starlink... And well, I'd rather not have Internet at all!
However, I did recently find these guys: https://www.computers4people.org/shield I'm gonna give these guys a shot.
It's probably not comparable, but no way in hell am I ever signing up for Starlink.
Yeah! Photo storage was the reason I was able to get my brother into self-hosting!
with the skyrocketing cost of AI, my employer has been urging us to do as much as possible by hand lately
Meanwhile, my company has forgotten how to write bash scripts... More and more things that could just be bash scripts are being added as stupid Claude.md scripts.
Hahahaha. Let's go! grabs popcorn
Yeah! I have a Sony Xperia 10 III, but the SailfishOS support is kinda... not officially supported in the US?
Android fliphone
Not interested. Want SailfishOS.
Google’s CEO says 75% of the company’s code is AI-generated.
Everyone should take this with a huge grain of salt. Like all other internal company stat reports, it's bullshit and manufactured.
Example: my company has recently introduced a gate on CI. All commits must have "Co-Authored-By: X". Technically, you can set X=None, but most people aren't doing that because we're not stupid and we know the commit history can easily be data mined and used to generate stats on who is or isn't using AI. And we don't want to get fired.
Result: 99% of all new commits use "Co-Authored-By: Claude". Every commit I make now has "Co-Authored-By: Claude". Am I using AI? FUCK NO. But, now I have to add that stupid line to any work I turn in.
I'm not sure limiting customization is actually a good thing... There are legitimate customizations and innovative inputs that people like.
For example, Logseq has a fancy text field that can bring up a submenu if you type two left brackets. Something like this is pretty specific to Logseq (or at least certain notes apps) and this would be much harder to replicate in a native app.
Or are you saying Logseq shouldn't do that? And it should assume that the notes area is just a plain text field? I guess that would be considered more "expected".
At least in my experience with Vala and GTK, this would take significantly more effort. Not impossible. Just way more effort.
Most native apps collect far more data than their website equivalents ever could. They request permissions to hardware, sensors, and background processes that browsers deliberately restrict.
On March 27, 2026, the Trump administration released an official White House app for iOS and Android. ... Apple requires apps to submit a privacy manifest disclosing what data they collect. The White House app declared an empty array. Zero data collection. Meanwhile, the actual binary contained ten analytics frameworks, including the full OneSignal SDK with a sub-framework specifically for location tracking
Hm. Didn't think about it like that.
Web apps ruined UX though
How so? Do you mean that companies are allowed to customize their own apps now? Cuz with regular desktop frameworks it's pretty hard to do that (compared to web frameworks anyway). All apps end up looking the same.
Also me in bed before going to work.
