Nice, just got both apps. They both look like they’re vibe coded though :/

I didn’t try this yet but why the fuck would Reddit even need an ai. Does anyone care? Will anybody pay for it? Or is it just because Reddit is a public company and stonks need to go up?

For when you really want to blend into the crowd and not be bothered by possible employers or recruiters. Fuck yeah, I might do that then.

I started by going from full time employment to part time employment / part time freelance. When I had too much to do with the freelance job plus a few clients ready for new projects, I quit my job and went full time freelance. That’s the safest way if you don’t wanna risk your savings.

So far it’s working out quite well. I got a steady stream of work from about 10 clients and some odd projects without follow-up work every now and then.

It can be stressful sometimes but once you manage to be more selective with projects, it’s all right.

Reminds me of people who described themselves as „no code developers“ before the whole AI hype when they were using stuff like webflow. This job title always bothered me and made me think they were afraid of code or something since making a similar site with a good CMS is not complicated and scales much better and I couldn’t see why you would wanna go full no-code.

That’s so disgusting. Together these company leaders have unprecedented power (much more than they should have) but instead of fighting this administration, they support it.

And no, this is ultimately not good for them. Yes, Trump is easily impressed by hollow compliments and meaningless presents, but he gets upset just as easily. A true lawful administration on the other hand might be annoying with its regulations but it gives you the ability to know what you’re up to and plan ahead for the long run.

Apart from all the other concerns, this behavior is incredibly short-sighted.

I‘m using a hosted Nextcloud instance from Hetzner and I have no idea what this is running on either. There’s a significant number of people who didn’t set up their Nextcloud instance, so people not knowing what it’s running on isn’t too surprising.

I remember that I wanted to subscribe to a German newspaper that advertised 6 months for 99ct or whatever. I wanted to see if the regular pricing after the 6 months was good but I had trouble even finding it and when I finally found it, the different subscription options were so opaque that I truly didn’t understand which plan to pick. In the end I didn’t subscribe. I have no idea why some companies make their offerings so inaccessible.

What happened last November? I quit when they turned off the API

Ironically it’s getting more popular but to me it seems it’s getting more popular in the way facebook used to get more popular. At some point your weird uncle is on it and all the good content creators just leave.

My comment was based on a podcast I listened to (Tech won’t save us, I think?). My guess is they also wanna crawl all the edits, discussion etc. which is usually not included in the complete dumps.

Wikipedia going down like that makes me sad, especially since due to ai crawlers, their traffic costs went up significantly.

Is there anything that generates half-way decent UIs? All I‘ve used was pretty much trash.

Bro can you fix my broken vibe coded app?

Makes the comments stick out more, increases the chance someone clicks the profile

Put the sticker of a lemmy instance over the Reddit logo

I got kinda caught up in Dig Dig Dino but to be honest, I‘m lagging behind in giving the newer games a fair shot since the release of the Switch 2 has distracted me slightly

The reason people use Electron in the first place is that they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

While Flutter can technically do that, the web apps it outputs are atrocious with poor usability and accessibility. It’s drawing the whole UI on a canvas element which causes all kinds of issues.

I didn’t try out a Tauri app on linux yet, I just know that it’s generally supported. What doesn’t work (well) as of now?

For anyone considering Electron: take a look at Tauri. It’s another way to build cross-platform apps with web tech. It will use the OS‘s web rendering engine instead of shipping Chromium which results in much smaller binaries and faster startup times and less RAM usage. You can also write native code in Rust. It’s like Electron but good.
