I played this game and threw some money at it. I wanted it to succeed. Recently there have been plenty of developments that convinced me to quit this game completely. This one just gives me more confirmation I did the right thing.

I think CIG is at its tipping point now and it will be game over for Star Citizen in a few years.

Class action suit anyone?

Gemini also being forced on me more and more in Android. Seriously considering a linux phone next.

Nobody read the article.

I’m all against ads and enshitification and Netflix’s recent price hikes but people are just ranting now.

Horseshit.

The current state of code generated by AI is sketchy at best. I often get plain wrong answers because the model tries to derive. It comes up with calls to functions and properties that just do not exist.

“You are right, I made a mistake. Here is a better answer.” Continues to give wrong answers.

Apart from that, apps that are glued together from AI generated code are not maintainable at all. What if there is a bug somewhere and you so not comprehend what is actually happening? Ask AI to fix it? Yeah good luck with that.

I do use AI for simple questions, and it works fairly well for that, but this claim by MS is just marketing bullshit.

I gave KDE a serious go again recently but it has some really annoying bugs on multi (3) display systems that affect me but probably not the grand majority of KDE users. Reported the issue, debugged it extensively, pinpointed the exact problem in the bug report and how to reproduce it (found out it also happened on dual screen setups). Then nothing happened. Ticket went quiet and it has been several months now.

I also had plenty of crashes in KDE apps.

I completely get the volunteer basis that KDE builds on, and I am not complaining that my issues do not get fixed. I understand it is being mostly built and maintained by people in their spare time and my issues are probably low priority. But for me personally it is stuff like this that makes KDE unusable as a daily driver.

I really hope they come with a wayland native version in the near future.

+1 for Halt and catch fire. Truly amazing show.

Obama did not make Elon a narcissist cry baby now did he?

Fuck me that’s disturbing.

Gitlab was created by a ukranian and dutch developer originally but today Gitlab stock is traded on Nasdaq and its HQ is listed as San Francisco (wikipedia). I use it selfhosted but I don’t think gitlab.com can be seen as European anymore.

Correct me if I’m wrong.
