Right, minimal means only having what you actually need. That is not what this website is.

6GB for a distro is crazy--I'm pretty sure that's as large as Ubuntu.

Anyone remember GAN? With enough iterations with a discriminator, we're gonna see more AI generated videos that are harder and harder to distinguish from real ones. What then?

Funny enough, this also seems to directly contrast Google's effort towards generating videos with better quality.

Yeah same here. Sure they're not perfect, but in 2025/2026 what services are perfect exactly?

To me, the article reads with a lot of exaggerated hostility towards Apple specifically for issues that are so commonplace nowadays. Not defending them, but I think it's unfairly targeting one company.

This somewhat answers the question of "how on earth is a JS runtime company going to profit?"

I feel like this direction of thinking is also a bit reductionist: there are plenty of reasons not to want to put stickers on a laptop. For me, personally, I don't like stickers because a year or two later, they don't represent how I think anymore. It's not an expression I would make today, it's a ghost of my old expressions.

And I feel like this greyification is only true in theory from the perspective of the manufacturers. I still run into plenty of people that are not afraid to decorate their space, laptop, or whatever else.

Greyification actually makes sense precisely because everyone has a different way of expression. That's why canvases are still white; you just have to find a different primer.

What a refreshing thing to hear in 2025... :D

Honestly, I would drop calling compiler altogether -- it's just not a compiler. It doesn't make it any less cool though!

The app itself looks pretty neat. But I don't know how much I can agree with "lightweight" for a full stack webapp that just stores and presents text.
