In the US maybe. In Europe, not so much. With Apple having a market share of "only" about one third and WhatsApp being the de facto default messaging app, this discussion never happened here.

Therefore your argument doesn't apply to Europe at all. Android is more than the "hacky" part. Albeit I'd really love to keep that.

In these regions of Germany it has very little to do with that, as there's hardly any immigrants in Eastern Germany, except Berlin of course. It's about prejudice and xenophobia due to the unknown.

Never heard of them before, but they look interesting, thanks for that. I'll transfer one of my .eu.org domains for testing it out.

I'll try to elaborate:

I'm using VSC for most edits, tab-completion is done via Copilot, I don't use it that much though, as I find the prediction to be subpar or too wordy in case of commenting. I use Aider for rubber-ducking and implementing small to mid-scope changes. Normally, I add the required files, change to architect or ask mode (depends on the problem I want to solve), explain what my problem is and how I want it to be solved. If the Aider answer satisfies me, I change to coding mode and allow the changes.

No magic, I have no idea how a single prompt can generate $4. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm only scratching on the surface with my approach though, maybe there is a better but more costly strategy yielding better results which I just didn't realize yet.

Huh, I didn't configure anything for saving, honestly. I just add the whole repo and do my stuff. How do you get to $10/h? I probably couldn't even provoke this.

I assume we have a very different workflow.

I'm using Gemini 2.5 Pro with Aider and Cline for work. I'd say when working for 8 full hours without any meetings or other interruptions, I'd hit around $2. In practice, I average at $0.50 and hit $1 once in the last weeks.

Yeah, not having clear time lines for new releases on the one hand, but being quick with deprecation of older models isn't a very good experience.

First thing I thought as well. Every 5 minutes for a screen recording software is an absurd frequency. I doubt they release multiple new versions per day.

That's only on paper though. I know a couple of people who founded a startup in the medicine sector on Telekom Cloud and most of their backend engineering work in the first years(!) went into circumventing Telekom Cloud issues like slow API, servers not starting or plainly disappearing.

Haven't talked to the guys for two years, so it might have improved in the meantime, but it's Telekom, so I heavily doubt it.

Up until now they released:

- The Wild Eight (Metacritic: 63; Steam: "Mostly Positive" with 6,161 reviews)

- Dead Dozen (Metacritic: TBD; Steam: "Mostly Negative" with 579 reviews)

- Radiant One (Metacritic: 82; Steam: "Mostly Positive" with 166 reviews)

- Propnight (Metacritic: TBD; Steam: "Mixed" with >15,000 reviews)

- The Day Before (Metacritic: TBD; Steam: "Mostly Negative" with >19,000 reviews)

Scores don't look good, but they also don't look as bad as I expected them to be after the train wreck of The Day Before. I wonder how this would've played out if they hadn't overhyped the game as much as they did.

This sounds like anecdotal evidence and I never heard this reason before. Do you have any sources supporting your claims?

> That was enough to get me to move to something where I am in control.

What smartphone OS are you referring to? Sounds interesting.

Yeah, not sure what this guy is talking about. I'm syncing my notes with my Nextcloud using the FolderSync App on Android which I used for other stuff anyways. Works like a charm, never had any problems.

Obsidian is great, but I'm not paying over 90 bucks a year for a simple file syncing service I can build in less than an hour.

Maybe the publish feature is worth it, but I'm content with the ObsidianPublisher workflow I set up for now.
