What is that "TF card"?
"Providing a safe online experience and protecting users from harm is a top priority at Google Play." LOL NO. amount of malware says otherwise.
Biometric database thats supposed to not exist at all in the first place? Interesting.
what is "sync licensing deal"?
I can't see the achievement here.
exactly zero knowledge gained. all former expert understanding is buried down in slop so it is inaccessible and will be completely inaccessible once slop-machine stops
well, it accelerates icebergs meltdown. so it helps...
what a nonsense
Re:Why TUIs Are Back on Sunday May 03, 2026 @06:26PM (#48002254)
I'm not surprised at all, if I was to choose from TUI or browser-gui (electron, react, react-native, anything similar) i'd always choose TUI. Good gui design died a long ago. Almost every gui designer needs us to always look at some nonsense animations that serve zero purpose and just make you needlessly wait. There is no such thing as "essential" animation in GUI. And no, plain simple progress bar does not count as animation, but rotating "progress circle" does. GUIs got so unbelievably bloated, it used to be an advantage to have more pixels, as you could pack more information in useful way. Today? Nah. Look at signal (or signal-desktop), it's not even funny anymore. Dolphin used to be good file explorer. Today it's borderline usable, animated so much so that i have to maintain own patched version. One just cannot hide from this, mostly because devs do not understand (or want to acknowledge) need for this stuff to be configurable (instead they more likely focus on stuff no one actually needs. again looking at you, signal.). Or stuff like libadwaita that is likely one of the most arrogant take on gui library ever.

What is it about? I can't get past this "scrolling" website formats. Makes my brain hurt.
Heh, this is like the last thing you need claude for. I mean, you have eyes and brain.

No way they really named it thunderbolt. I mean. Seriously? What is next Mozilla USB-C vibeslop?

Wow, very cool indeed and i'd use it immediately if it was human-written.

> - What features would make you switch from your current tool?

Native software. Certainly not anything browser based. No electron. No react. Software that understands color management. And actual animation tools, not onion strips - it is not 1970 anymore.

> Try it out, break it, and tell us what you think.

Sorry i'm not even trying stuff that needs browser. I'm so very tired of it.

Why would we use something that makes us dumber and wastes our planet more than anything else.

Nah, I'll skip.

Windows becoming less and less relevant every day and then they do this. 2026 is gonna be true Year of the Linux Desktop.
