Isn't it the same with software development? I kind of feel that way too.

I've been using Rare for a couple of years, never had a problem. It's much more lightweight and fast.

The thing is you have to get used to the pace of the book resembling the pace of monastery life.

Why are people so possessive? Why wouldn't they just release their work for the profit of humanity? I'm genuinely curious.

I tried similar travelling tasks but also added transportation and complex transfers (train, bus, walk, next train...). Worked meh and still a difficult thing to do for a llm.

They want apps so they could fingerprint your device, spy on you and get a lot more information than a web app.

New comment by forlorn in "Alan.app – Add a Border to macOS Active Window"

Thank you. Each time I see an app that does the smallest change possible (and it's a MacOS-only thing by the way) I think to myself: Does it have to be an APP?

Not a script, not a configuration, but an actual app that occupies space and RAM and does just that? How had somebody come to this weird idea that everything is an APP?
