> Also note that the python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding. I know more about analog filters -- and that's not saying much -- than I do about python. It started out as my typical "google and do the monkey-see-monkey-do" kind of programming, but then I cut out the middle-man -- me -- and just used Google Antigravity to do the audio sample visualizer.

Linus Torvalds is now vibe-coding

Discord isn’t an alternative as it’s not publicly searchable

Jenny Nicholsen is as excellent as Kevin Perjurer’s Defunctland. I highly recommend both.

I love using Syncthing for syncing all my ROMs and saves across my handhelds (RG35XXSP running muOS, AYN Thor running Android), my NAS and MacBook. I'm trying to figure out what my concern level should be with a change in ownership of syncthing-fork for Android though. I guess let's see what happens?

I'm really surprised this got any fanfare at all from Apple. Kind of confirms a single person as the reason for their continual AI misses which feels weird for them.

New comment by robbiet480 in "Steam Frame"

Trying to decide if Steam Frame is going to be better than Apple Vision Pro + ALVR + lighthouses... AVP has higher resolution and OLED displays with higher PPD but obviously weighs a lot more.

Personally I like Channels DVR which is a single go binary that can run anywhere and they have excellent client apps for every platform. There's even an API and a Home Assistant integration. https://getchannels.com/dvr-server/
