<p>I'm also team USB-C wired earbuds (the Apple ones are cheap and solid, mic is also nice for calls) for podcasts and commute.<p>I never stopped using wired headphones at home but also had BT ones on the go. When they started showing signs of age I got a cheap BT receiver instead of replacing them. It's not quite as practical but for many people it's something to consider, they work surprisingly well!</p>

<p>This depends heavily on your use case. I'd get rid of Windows entirely if I could. For most people I'd say MacOS is the most sane and plug and play experience. The email/browser/note taking experience is better than on Windows, and easier than on Linux.<p>This gets less and less true when you start pluging peripherals and wanting to change the default behavior or use certain apps. But then they're not the target of the Neo.</p>

<p>Musk is openly and heavy handedly messing with the recommendation algorithm to fit whatever views he wants to push.

<p>I think the people who like shipping quickly probably don't like building products in the first place and are looking for other aspects of entrepreneurship.<p>A huge benefit I find in AI is that it helps with a lot of things I hated. Merge conflicts, config files, breaking dependency updates... That leaves me more time to focus on the actual functionalities so I end up with better APIs, more detailed UIs, and more thorough tests. I do think it's possible to be relevant/competitive by only delegating parts of the work to AI and not the whole thing. Though it might change if AI gets too good.</p>

<p>Trump's attitude motivated me to finally get away from Gmail. I tried several of the providers mentioned on this website and stuck with tuta.com. After almost a year, I'm very happy, would recommend.<p>Interesting to know before going in:
- They encrypt the emails when storing them, so the only way to access emails is to use their own apps. I was hesitant at first but their web app, desktop app and android app are great</p>

<p>It depends where you live. There's no one company that's implented in all European countries. All countries have a shop similar to Amazon (often with fewer sponsored products and less drop shipping garbage). There are also a few specialized shops (for books, sports, electronics...). Since 2020 I only buy Amazon if they're significantly cheaper than other sellers. That's about 10% of my purchases.</p>

<p>I think it's good advice, the main difference is that Bsky encourages you to do that by giving you the possibility to customize your feeds (and set whatever as the default). You can have a combination of personal lists and custom algorithmic feeds (your own or someone else's).<p>Even ignoring musk's takeover, I think it's a better model that reduces doomscrolling, ragebait and generally low quality interactions.</p>

<p>Indeed. Attaching the link (of the correct page) of the documentation worked in this case but I would've been faster than the AI. LLM.txt has been hit or miss. Maybe I need to adapt my workflow and have a granular plan of what needs to be done.<p>However the complexity is in knowing what to do and when. Actually typing the code/running commands doesn't take that much time and energy. I feel like any time gained by overusing an LLM will be offset by having to debug its code when it messes things up.</p>

<p>That sounds crazy to me, Claude Code has so many limitations.<p>Last week I asked Claude Code to set up a Next.js project with internationalization. It tried to install a third party library instead of using the internationalization method recommended for the latest version of Next.js (using Next's middleware) and could not produce of functional version of the boilerplate site.<p>There are some specific cases where agentic AI does help me but I can't picture an agent running unchecked effectively in its current state.</p>

<p>You could've stopped your sentence at "I don't know how a country filled with guns can survive."<p>The main downside of abusing the words nazi and fascist is that it gives an out to the actual fascists out there. When it comes to gun violence, there are a lot more (self proclaimed) neo-nazis killing innocent people than people killing them.</p>

<p>Fully agreed. I am however worried by the fact that Firefox is basically kept alive by Google. I assume it's just so that they can pretend Chrome isn't a monopoly, but the minute Firefox becomes an inconvenience they can stop financing it. I hope we can find a way for Firefox to sustain itself long term.</p>

<p>I've also made the move to Zen. I think Arc users will feel right at home there. It hasn't quite reached he same level of polish just yet but being in active development is a big plus.<p>On top of that, Zen can be personalized with CSS. As someone who spends a lot of time in the browser, it's been awesome to be able to tailor it to my needs.

<p>Slight tangent but while this is bad with disclosed ads, I think it's even worse with algorithmic feeds. A lot of users don't realize that not only their feed is heavily personalized, but the "top comments" are also selected just for them.<p>This bias will be implemented in LLMs sooner or later. Combined with the current misunderstanding of "AI" by the general population, it makes me worried about the future of misinformation.</p>

<p>It took me a while to make the switch from copy pasting in a chat to Cursor, but I do see an improvement in my productivity in a couple of ways. For context, this is doing front-end development and knowing what I'm doing. The benefits aren't there if I'm using a technology/library I'm not familiar with.<p>For the most part, I just type code the same way I use to but I get:<p>- an auto-complete on steroids<p>- the tab feature reminding me of impacted code I forgot to update after making a change elsewhere (big one as I easily get distracted).<p>I very rarely use the chat/composer. Usually I'm faster by going through files manually and making changes myself helped by the features mentioned above.</p>
