I can do a project that took me weeks/months much faster now as long as I don't have to involve other people in the decisions.

0% is the expected answer, because otherwise why wouldn't you be doing everything you could to stop this?

How is a delivery service unproductive? Division of labor is one of the most fundamental principles in our economic system. You being able to do it yourself in your free time doesn't make it unproductive. You could also make your own clothes, that doesn't make the clothes industry an unproductive endeavor.

Let's say you do all that. What about literally every other country on earth that is not the home of Openai/Anthropic/Google?

I don't know if Claude Code is actually a great example. If you have used it for longer periods of time, you will have noticed how insanely buggy it is. And for every bug that they finally fix, there seems to be a new one introduced. I don't even mind vibecoding. I have vibecoded a couple of tools that me and my coworkers use every day to make our lives easier but I'm not going to pretend they are anywhere close to something that I would release to the public.

It describes incestuous child rape, because the author describes his experience of being raped. Victims speaking about their abuse, now that is one step too far and needs to be censored.

Just tried and it's blocked on Telekom with the default DNS.

That's completely different. Imagine you are reading a book and the words only get revealed to you at 1 word a second. You would get annoyed if your natural reading speed was higher than that.

Same with a video. A lot of people speak considerably slower than you could process the information they are conveying, so you speed it up. You still get the same content and are not skipping parts as you would when skimming a book.

Especially since the only party to the right of Merz are actual right-wing extremists.

I tried it out because of your comment and the very first prompt Gemini 2.5 Pro hallucinated a non-existant plugin including detailed usage instructions.

Not really my idea of good.

You need at the very least 4 of those $15.50 fonts to cover italic and bold.

If I could get the entire font family for $30 or so I would consider it despite all the free alternatives, but $150 is just way too much if you are making a non-US salary.

Did you actually try your cinema prompt recently? I just asked my pixel phone "tell me showtimes for aquaman in Berlin" and it immediately opened an overview of cinemas with showtimes for the Aquaman movie today with options to buy the ticket.

Same for the weather prompt someone else posted above and contrary to their experience it showed me exactly what I expected.

I'm a bit confused if those examples are something that didn't work in the past or if it's something that somehow doesn't work properly in the US right now.

The mod sounds a lot more petty than the removal of said mod.

Is a single drop down menu that only shows up once during character creation really triggering the author of that mod that much?

I get that as well and I live somewhere, where HFCS is not used, so I don't think that is the culprit.

Personally if given the choice between a regular coke and coke zero, I will choose the zero every time.

Just looked it up, since I remembered hearing about it and apparently there are some new rules where you only need one if you average more than 20000 viewers.

That's the case for just 2 streamers in Germany. No other streamer had more than 20k average viewers in the last 30 days, but some are close, so they might have one as well.
