Yes I am, and I doubt this taxation will make a dent, it will just stifle innovation

Reeks of desperation from a group of bureaucrats who are capable of nothing but taxing people

The reputations of many institutions that took decades to build were destroyed in a few statements during that period.

Exactly, the Bioware that people love hasn't existed for a long time

To make them easier to type and more aesthetically pleasing

I was surprised as well that an Adobe employee would make such a revealing comment.

How are LLMs and tokens going to help you retain customers who you've spent the past decade pissing off?

"Sowing dissent among your adversaries is very effective"

Yes it is, and some countries have become very good at doing that

Do you ever wonder how Anthropic or OpenAI can release a new state of the art model and then a few months later there's a Chinese open model that's nearly as good?

They're trying to build a moat with legislation, using fear over 'safety' as an excuse to ban these open models

That's exactly what it looks like to me, I guess it's time to re-evaluate those open models.

Is this a signal that open models are becoming good enough for a lot of people?

Yes, the vi family of editors is just as valid a choice as emacs (and have arguably been the better choice for longer, it's just that personally I could never get on with modal editing)

yes, stick with emacs even when the next shiny new editor appears and begins it's inevitable descent into becoming bloated and slow

Yes they are solid_fuel it just so happens that you agree with it and so you deny it's happening.

Responses like the one you just made carried more weight a couple of years ago but people are just getting tired of this schtick now.

The 'host it somewhere else' like doesn't work as you well know. Since whoever hosts anything that doesn't align exactly with modern progressive ideology is labeled a Nazi, fascist, transphobe etc etc etc and their hosting platforms, payment processors etc are bombarded with complaints.

Again though, people like you solid_fuel are losing power so maybe there is a chance that alternatives can exist.

We don't like having an ideology pushed on us. That is the issue solid_fuel

"Coffee break is over, stop thinking and get back to work."

Best of luck to this project. They seem to be targeting developers who are frustrated with Apple and Microsoft which is probably a large market.

And the opinionated aspect is also a positive since there's often decision paralysis for many people new to Linux.

it can consume more of your RAM

Many such cases across all aspects of society.

It helps to just write games and then over time an engine will emerge from the common code you carry across projects.

Starting from a checklist of features for a game engine almost always ends in wasted effort

No need to damage the cameras, just place some balloons in front of them.

"do you find yourself expressing yourself less freely on the internet than you did five years ago?"

No, because five years ago was probably the high point of online speech restriction. A time where people were banned from platforms like Twitter and Facebook for expressing political opinions or stating scientific facts

"coupled with a complete lack of _hard evidence_ to back up their views"

Didn't Casey Muratori write a proof of concept windows terminal to highlight Microsoft's substandard implementation? And Jonathan Blow has spent the past decade+ developing his own programming language and funding the development of a game. Seems like they are backing their views.

You wouldn't be leaving Claude Code, just trying something new. If you don't like it just resume using Claude.

This is a completely unexpected turn of events that no one could have possibly foreseen.

Share this article on LinkedIn and you'll have countless managers talking about how they initiated a company wide policy to convert all Python scripts into Lua using Claude

"The LGBTQIA flag obviously"

"It's clearly the national flag"
