I do miss the camera from my Samsung since making the switch. I’m looking into pocket cameras since I do find those fun to play around with, but that’s a bit of a dead category in recent years.

Performance-wise the Fairphone 6 has been more than fine for me. Maybe it wouldn’t have been if I played 3D games, but I don’t, so I wouldn’t know.

Through Murena, I believe?

Wonder they are fucking stupid enough to sue YouTube for something similar.

They don’t/no longer need to, YouTube has content ID and copyright claims.

Yeah. Bitcoin is probably safer and easier.

I’m just saying the option exists, and that I think it’s neat.

Yeah, not sure how it’d work with return addresses and whatnot. But if the letter itself is intercepted there’s probably more that can be used to trace back to you, unless you only handled the money and paper in a clean room.

Furthermore, you can pay with bitcoin or even cash (sent to their HQ by mail). That way they’d have even less on you.

That name is what initially put me off, but they actually seem to have some decent takes.

They also set up an initiative around the fair extraction of cobalt.

For the specs alone it is an expensive phone, but well worth it to me.
I do somewhat miss the HD haptics from my previous Samsung.

Steam’s age verification is entering your credit card details.

Sony partnered with/sold their TV division to TCL as well.
Strange for this news to come so soon after that.

I think it looks promising, but it’s still very early days. Hopefully they can gain more traction.

Some progress is being made, but it hasn’t seen large-scale adoption yet. Which is the point, as I read it.

It doesn’t really dispute it, though. Lithium-ion has seen a lot of improvement, yes, because it’s already a giant industry; other battery chemistries have a hard time breaking through because they require entirely different processes to manufacture.
I’m still rooting for it, but it’s not really the same thing.

Vivaldi is a bit more unique than just yet; but at the end of the day it is still Chromium, and will therefore never be my main browser.

I do like Nebula, but I don’t see that scaling up in that way.

And Spotify is basically YouTube, I don’t necessarily want to see them succeed either.

Move where? Vimeo?

Vimeo lays off ‘large portion’ of staff after Bending Spoons buyout

The only thing corporations like Google “innovate” on is wealth extraction.

Welp, that blog wasn’t linked anywhere on the main page.
Reading through it, it actually makes it all seem a lot more reasonable, that’s good. It’s just difficult not to be skeptical in <current year>.

Link for the interested.

Edit:

Fluxer was largely built before LLMs became a normal part of day-to-day development. I do use them now, but in a limited way: as a rubber duck and for mechanical implementation work when I already have a detailed spec. I treat the code it outputs like I would any external contribution.
No LLM designed the system, wrote the specs, or made architectural decisions. That was all me. I only use LLMs when I already know the platform well enough to review the result properly.

That seems fairly okay.

Further edit: wording.

I do have to wonder, given the age of the app and the seeming lack of contributors on GitHub, how vibe-coded is this app?

I’m actually cool with projects being sustainable from the start, rather than hyper scaling off private equity funding before gutting features and selling them back at a later date.

Revolt/Stoat not talking about paid options at all on their main page makes me more suspicious, if anything.
