Yeah I tried mistral 4 when it came out and it honestly felt like going back in time 6 months, suddenly my agents were making all kinds of mistakes that I had kind of forgotten agents regularly used to make

I mean you do you but this whole line of argument just seems kinda insulting to readers? "Yeah I am planning on making even more money but it's really for your benefit"

Rather just say that you're doing it to make more money? When mcdonalds puts up their prices they say it's for shareholder profit not "we'll be using our increased profits to develop new mcNewThings"

Yeah this, I always see so much hate towards businesses for finding tax loopholes or not donating etc but people forget that businesses are made of individuals with their own often conflicting subgoals, but overall has to try to maximize profit so they will never voluntarily pay more tax than legal minimum or be philanthropic if they do not have to or do not benefit explicitly.

yep, run a small non-tech business too (new for me) so I got to learn all about 'normie' FB marketing and it's absolutely trash from a business perspective

- we had this link limit for a few months already

- every business portal to upload content etc is super buggy, just shows loading spinners, you never know if a post has worked or not

- we're locked out of our instagram account as we took it over from old owners who don't know password and none of the reset options arrive even though they have access to them

- we finally got an email 2fa to go through to recover the account and that then asked for the SMS too, which never arrives

- there is of course absolutely no way to contact support

Unfortunately it's the only platform all our customers are on. They don't even have Google accounts, it's all WhatsApp, Facebook and phones.

They had already shut down when this server was seized I think

> We will soon send instructions on how to back up the content of your blogs, mailboxes and websites, along with more technical recommendations. But keep in mind that, just as the autistici.org domain was made unreachable without previous notice, in the next few days we might suffer similar issues that we may not be able to predict.

So it's human/political distribution rather than infrastructure now

Yeah it's awful they keep coming months after you post anything as a Show HN now, definitely discourages me from doing it

Well yes but then you'd have to manually code every set of expectations, the point of using a model like Jev is it can flag a "something is wrong here" entry without needing someone to define every thing that could go wrong

every announcement I see from Mozilla makes me happier that I switched to WaterFox last year and don't have to deal with their shit any more

if it's not available yet why have a 'try it today' header at all?

I also did it and thought I was smart and they told me it's a right of passage because everyone does it and thinks they're the first
