You do realize "Claude" actually wrote CSS for you and thus you need that language to strive ?

Such an uninsightful comment.

Best leveraged debt on the US economy ever.

Taste only matter insofar you work is shared.

AI lets people get personalized software for "free" as derivative of existing work. Think adobe suite but with the 5% that an individual needs.

Then taste loses value as everyone has their own software.

That's where I am in that train of thought at least. Pretty grim I know.

And I think it's naïve to believe only the US can make the hardware and has the brainpower to develop this technology.

Who's right ?

CachyOs with Niri and DankMaterialShell is what finally broke out of Ubuntu with Gnome.

It's slick, modern, efficient, and up to date.

I encourage trying that or similar.

Given they ingested basically the whole internet and then some, you cannot possibly be serious when you mean it's worth less than 10 billions.

The totality of the content on internet is worth several orders of magnitude more.

Isn't it perfectly reasonable to require an account for any use, and to ensure that making one has a high level difficulty anubis challenge or delay ?

Claude really doesn't have that much market share. It's the most expensive by a mile but when you count token market share they're in the low %.

And everyone else is close enough in terms of quality, their tiny advantage if any is insufficient. Let's not even talk speed.

OpenAI is competing with chinese models.

Thoughtfully and coherently factorized, abiding a set of architectural rules (i.e: we compose "this" way here, re-evaluated as we go) and following up-to-date framework conventions. LLMs are terrible at this.

Chosing OOP or FP is irrelevant, fundamentals matter more

Docker-compose setup (nothing fancy) on a dedicated server.

Usage is work, family and personal notes.

Acknowledged yes, adressed no.

Using dendrite at the time was a bet on the future : "use it now and you won't have to migrate".

You can also migrate by replicating messages, or mirroring new messages via a bridge.

In my opinion they tried nothing and they're all out of options.

AFAIR there is a doc about migration from synapse, that they promised to automate once dendrite would be production ready, which it never became.

Remark half-way in the rant they are using dendrite, an experimental matrix server implementation that has been abandonned. Thus ranting about it is cheeky at best.

I have been using synapse for years with little issue.

And you immediately lose the ability to do `crontab -l` on any server to know its scheduled tasks.

Now you get to look around the myriad of places where you can put systemd files, and figure out which ones are base services and which ones are custom, with no general convention to go about it. Nope.

History repeats itself : it ends in blood. Always does.

As the concentration of power happens, the people who concentrate it become bigger and bigger targets.

There is no alternative to wealth distribution.
