I always used this but sometime in the past few months, it started ha ing a bug where I can no longer click on 90% of the title bar (vertical direction) and I have to until and retile all windows open to be able to close anything. Very annoying and I am about at the point to stop using it lol.

So they know

Funny list!

Also, it doesn’t include bazarr, the subtitle management software.

Disruptive by design?

Is this 2015 VC backed slop or something?

True, actual steam flatpak is a mess. Opensuse Kappa/Aeon actually use it and it took an afternoon of debugging and 3, barely - documented fixes to get proton games to launch at all.

Vibe coded warning for people that don’t like AI.

You can’t even access the LAN on gnome boxes. I searched for workaround for many hours but found no solution. Many of the solutions included modifying the box with VMM anyway.

Maybe boxes is only good for using Microsoft office…

Just looked at my local 2nd hand app in Belgium. Withing 20km of me, there are 8 macbook air 13 inch from 2015 to 2017 for <=150€.

Not bad, slap MX Linux on it or something light and it would be a great programming, browsing, etc… Small laptop

Eh, emojis in the readme were in nearly every single readme template for years since before LLMs were available. I use them for my own projects just because the readme template I like has them and they make headers much more identifiable when referencing the readme, that is just human characteristics and also why electronics style guides (as an example) have standard symbols patterning for commonly used circuits. Our brains can instantly parse a familiar pattern as opposed to just text (net labels and block components opposed to shaped symbols in the example).

As a bonus for Brave, you can maybe be part of affiliate link scamming networks, their own personal ad spying network instead of google, Microsoft, or apple. You can even have built-in crypto-bro gambling!

Not only that, but all of the drawbacks of chromium!

Also the ad revenue that they make off you can go to funding conservative mass-surveillance candidates and lobbying against same-sex marriage.

I think it is the other evidence that it is vibe coded

• Brand new account
• Dev only responds to non-technical or feel-good comments
• other commenters have pointed to AI teltale vibe coding syntax signs in many of the files
• Claude extra files in early commits and changing gitignores to do it.

Advertised Vibe coded projects absolutely are by default bad and here is why:

• Developers do not understand what they have built, so can’t debug it beyond “Claude, fix this”
• Vibe coded projects are easy-come, easy-go very often abandoned (73% of the vibe projects on flathub, and those are the people who thought far enough to decide putting it on flathub was worth it)
• developers can’t answer any questions on security when the app will be handling credentials, be hosted on a server, or attach to some sort of live service -> absolutely gaping security hole that you just have to cross you fingers that Claude didn’t do another “oops, you are completely right to push back,1500 common attack vectors were left open and you are now part of a CSAM botnet, do you want me to fix it?”

If someone wants to make small scripts, one-off test firmware for a home project, writing test cases, design reviews, boilerplates, etc… Are arguably good usecases.

Vibe coding an ongoing software service is almost always a hard no-go and statistically will be abandoned and unupdated, leading to even more security and usability issues.

It is good to note that sleep tracking is one of those things that is kind of a hand-wavy thing right now And it has actually shown to increase anxiety when using sleep trackers when people get less than great sleep, and can make things worse when the algorithm incorrectly estates quality (which all if those proprietary apps do instead of just tracking sleep state).

There is also the issue of comparing with eeg which the head unit that the qualified scientist is also not completely accurate, it is just the best that is readily available.

Sorry that I can’t be helpful, but I dived into it a while ago and what came out of my search was pretty much that it is not reliable and people pay way too much attention to it when they should pay attention to how they feel.

Google (the company) As A Service. Make new things and discard them, unsupported.

There was a rash of people shoveling kanban “first project”-ware for a year or two a while ago. Everyone and their mother made a kanban app and advertised it on reddit and Lemmy. All also abandoned within a few months and were exceedingly mediocre to begin with.

Just because you made a project, doesn’t mean you have to advertise it as a maintained app, especially if it is one of 1k of the same projects.

I think the problem partially is people thinking they have to “get a following” and get “github stars” on everything they make in order for it to be a valuable experience.

Someone doesn’t remember Sony’s original DRM rootkits malware scandal lol

Source that it actually reduces it and the companies aren’t lying out of their asses?

A company that you trust with your privacy (one aspect) has been caught in league with mass surveillance loving fascists? Yeah I am sure that those are a perfect mix and it won’t lead to mass surveillance of its users like the dozens of VPNs now under Israeli mass - surveillance - fascist control.

It is just a complete coincidence that the people pushing more and more mass surveillance are buying up (and in this case winning over the controlling part of) the ways for normal people to avoid mass surveillance.

Excuse me if I am doubtful lol.

Nearly every country requires an ID. 80% of Europe or so, nearly all of Asia including China and India, all but 1 country in Africa, Australia, many/most countries in the Americas.

It is going to end up like seatbelts and surveillance in America. Tons of complaining and bitching and grand threats, but everyone immediately capitulating and putting up no resistance. That is just how humans are I think and this is a lot less of a deal than other surveillance being done daily (as long as encrypted messaging stands) since you are completely fingerprinted on your phone anyway and your identity is widely tied to your browsers and apps and google/apple accounts.

It is certainly not open source, but it is a copy left license.

You could make the exact same argument for literally any open source project where someone forks it.

The “power” of open source is that in theory if the creator went rogue that the public can switch to the fork as the main app used.

I really fail to see if the dataset is open, how the data itself (of course not the web domain or front end) would be any different in a fully open source project. Maybe the transfer to a new app in the last case would be quicker, but that is about it. The dataset is the gold here.

Personally I have only a hundred notes or so and really only the basic plugins and it still takes up to 10 seconds to load and become usable on my phone.

It is definitely not fast loading up but it is very fast in most other use cases I have seen. At work I use it with getting more towards 1000 notes and it works fine there usually, though there is some windows+ electron weirdness
