that looks very interesting, indeed. do you think it could work in places like iran too during current internet shutdown? some people use things like dnstt to get connected but it's extremely slow and unstable.

thanks for your work

I see, thanks for the info! I played with it for a bit and I really enjoy the results. A dark mode would be amazing to have but still great job!

I'm sorry for being ignorant but how does this work? Is there an LLM underneath? Does it use ChatGPT? If so, how do you maintain the privacy and how are you able to cover expenses? I'm just curious, it looks pretty great though.

In couple ways:

- Premium - a monthly subscription that gives some additional gimmicks

- Ads - they sell context-based ads in some large channels

- Crypto - they developed and invest in TON which used to be fully theirs (maybe still is? idk) and it's incorporated in the app

- Paid features inside the app, like you can buy their in-app currency to then use it in bots and whatnots

I think these are the main ways, also their CEO is a billionaire which is supposed to cover the rest of expenses and can gather investors to help.

Edit: sorry I suck at formatting

Is it just me or that's just a huge nothing-burger? That "new path" is not even explained in this? It's just a marketing speech.

I was the same as you but in the end I returned to Sublime. Nowadays with LSP plugin you don't need much, just LSP + extension to support your language and that's about it.

They changed the licenses to 3 year from lifetime though, so it's a bit of a bummer but at the same time I get it.

Sublime Text gang, raise up.

I was always a fan of Sublime Text and I moved away from it once because VSC felt more "hassle-free". The extensions just worked, I didn't need to go through endless JSON files to configure things, I even uncluttered its interface but at the end of the day I returned to good old Sublime Text. Now with LSPs it requires way less tinkering with plugins. I only wish it had just a little bit more UI customizability for plugins to use (different panes etc). Maybe with Sublime Text 5 if that ever comes.

Also about the speed: VSC is fast but in comparison... Sublime Text is just insta-fast.

Reading through this gave me serious chills. This sounds like something straight out of Josef Mengele laboratory.

what kind of yankee propaganda is this!

just kiddin, interesting observation though.

I know! Every day when GBoard breaks down on its "glide" feature I miss my Swype. It was such an amazing keyboard, it's just plain sad.

I've seen this before. It doesn't work that way, Telegram Desktop first will tell you that "this is an exe file that might be highly dangerous" with a checkbox below to "don't show this again".

Having that said, I think this should still be rejected by the server so it's weird that it worked that way. However, the issue is not as bad as the video claims it to be, a user will be warned.

I sometimes feel like LinkedIn is the MySpace of our times.

This brings some memories. I still remember LAN party we had where we played first Red Faction game... in an internet cafe! Cray times.

this is awesome, i hope they will add dark mode one day

Not necessarily, if you kept your filters and extension up-to-date, you won't see that pop-up either. uBlock handles it just fine. During early days of YT trying to force me to disable it, all I had to do is to open the settings, update filters and it was just fine. Thankfully it's been peaceful now for long time.

Oh man, I wish this thing had an RSS feed... would be perfect.

yeah, on top of that, it might've been an account that haven't been used for long time and suddenly started posting links out of nowhere.

this is far too little data to make assumptions like the one in the link.

i agree, while YAML has its problems, it is good for human-written content, especially when it's not too deeply nested.

in short: all these have their use-cases. i use YAML where it fits and TOML where it fits better. I never use JSON because JSON is just for machines, I generate JSONs.

You're completely right, this couldn't be any more ironic. Article on how people can't debate got flagged with lots of comments proving the point, ah...

I better buy some popcorn.

Even though most of these we can do locally?

Can't wait to see how all of this is going to look like in ten years. I know we are all nitpicking right now but these results are totally mindblowing already.

Sorry but this sounds like conspiracy theory stuff. It is encrypted client-server so your message is misleading. And Durov as far as I'm aware is in Dubai. Russia blocked Telegram in the past and because they actually failed (it was still most popular messenger in there despite the block), so they decided to give up the block and started pumping their own propaganda on their own channels.

I am always amazed how people find ideas for projects like this. I would never think of making something like that, what was the thought process here? Is this a personal project that just turned into something else? Or idea was just exactly this from the start?

This is very creative but also has this vibe that "I've seen it before" even though I probably did not and it just combines many different tools into one. Really cool!

GitHub builds directly from their source code just fine: https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/actions/ru...

(uses this script: https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/blob/maste...)

And here are few recent examples of them helping people to solve build issues: https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/issues/968... https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/issues/986... https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/issues/992...

How were you digging to find an irrelevant issue yet omitted all of this? I really don't see the picture you're trying to paint.

This made my eyes bleed. Thank you :(
