Not a celebrity, kind of like @pedz@lemmy.ca, but Daniel Naroditsky.

I did not expect his death would affect me as much as it did. Fuck K.

I personally would rather avoid things using precisely electron as you mentioned (yes I know that’s not a language) or javascript as a backend programming language.

But even if you and I can’t think of a reason why would someone not want a specific programming language, who are we to deny them the right not to use things written in such language?

what i did was question about why they don’t want it

Your comments in this thread I read before posting my message seemed a bit aggressive towards the OP but I maybe I misunderstood them. My bad, I’m sorry.

Not everyone can read code.

From those who can, not all have the same knowledge that may be required to read this specific tool.

From those who can, not all have the time or willingness to do so.

Not wanting to use something that had AI input is just as valid as not wanting to use a specific tool, programming language, operative system, or browser, because it goes against your principles.

Software always had bugs long before vibe coding was a thing, we all understand that.

Many of us are on Lemmy because we don’t want to contribute to Reddit.

OP is not trying to convince you to not use tools that AI never contributed to, no need to try to convince him to use tools that AI may have potentially heavily contributed to.

Well that depends on a lot of factors. One of them being the distance of dick to floor of every one they would jerk. Call that D2F.

Hopefully they thought of it.

Didn’t they add copilot to notepad, to the file Explorer, to windows I assume as a non removable service (internet explorer anyone?), and to who knows how many more places?

Whatever metrics they claim to have are for sure not inflated. /s

If people are indeed using copilot a lot then great: good for you, please shut up, you don’t need me on-board.

Thank you for the warning and source. I think I had read about this. Personally I use IronFox on Android, but Firefox otherwise.

Even if we take this at worst case scenario, it is a much lesser evil than Google in my opinion. And they still open source everything (I think?) and as far as I’m aware allow 100% configuration to remove or tweak anything we don’t like one way or another.

More recently I was also not happy with their introduction of AI crap in the browser which can also be disabled.

It would be better to be disabled by default and even better not to be present, yes, but well…

As long as it does not get too out of hand and as long as they keep it open so anyone con remove that crap from forks and/or through configuration… Given our choices, I think they deserve recognition for their work. Even if we don’t agree with everything they do.

I never donated for them and used Firefox for over 20 years. Even if it goes downhill really fast starting now (Which I hope it won’t, and the future would suddenly turn much bleaker in this regard), I think I should be thankful for 20+ years of good service.

I never switched away from Firefox except for 2-3 of its forks on Android. And Librewolf as non main browser on pc.

I’m also keeping an eye on ladybird but not keeping my hopes up yet.

All that being said, your concerns are valid and I do share them. I just want to reinforce that when all is said and done… No matter what the future looks like…

They were here for us for at least 20 years.

Firefox. Shouldn’t need introduction.

Yes there are forks that may be better to use but let us not forget the one main browser family who’s been giving us a chance at fighting against Malware browsers with zero respect for our privacy.

Good write up. I agree with several points

And it pains me too that everything is damn electron. Can we please go back to writing stuff that doesn’t require that?

I don’t mind an old style interface. Hell, in many cases I’ll welcome it with open arms. Modern UI is not necessarily better. Both tech wise and also style wise.

This one hits hard for me. I too, watched many of his content. I partially watched his last stream. Little did I know it would be the last.

You are loved.

Another reminder that if enacted, in practice this is not only for Europeans.

If games have to be reasonably playable in Europe then they will be reasonably playable everywhere.

This benefits all consumers one way or another.

More importantly though, for everything, like the comment I’m replying to mentions: If you buy something you should own it.

I’ve been playing some games in a retroid pocket 5.

Mind you, it doesn’t run all games, nor all well, but could be worth checking out.

I just found out Netflix has games. Think I’ll keep not using it.

Can you name the exercises you were shown, or link to a video or article explaining them?

I don’t know if this could be a case of “what’s good for me might be bad for you” but bad posture must be pretty common in today’s world.

Did your back pain get as bad as OP’s?

I already keep notes in markdown format but didn’t know of Silverbullet.

I reject Obsidian and Joplin because they’re based on electron but it looks like it’s not the case for Silverbullet. Don’t know if these even support markdown tbh.

I’ll need to look into it further, looks really nice!

How did that banana become green?!

Oh no! Anyway…

Now that’s some JWST love

Yes! Exactly the same. I can only hear it when laying down, mostly at night only when trying to sleep. If I sit or stand up I can’t hear it anymore. Not every night but I sure hear it often.

It does make sleeping harder.

Thanks for the heads up!
