Wow. Let's see what an informed opinion looks like.

> The best "Windows Lite" is a Linux distro with VSCode, .NET, PowerShell, etc.

Oh.... ok then.

"Plasticky crap" like the x1 carbon? I daily drive a mac, but I would drop it in an instant once I can get linux on arm on thinkpad.

Maybe tell your agent that your readme doesn't need to be that long so humans can read it and understand it. The Github readme is ludicrously long winded.

What's the point of this vs telling the agent to just use the cloudflare CLI?

"Local tool for publishing agent reports and small static sites" - Aren't agent reports small static sites? Why do you need to mention both?

Your Good Fits vs Bad Fits section is just a good fits vs bad fits for cloudflare pages, not your specific application.

Creating a chrome extension to add the publish button on the page is quite possibly the single biggest piece of evidence I've ever seen that code is now cheap.

Readme needs screenshots.

Edit: I've been emotionally triggered by this project because the overall feel of it reminds me of all the junior developers at work who've started vibe coding everything and presenting it with confidence that even the most senior developers lack.

The world was fine before youtube, it's not the end of the world. It's full of fake education who won't take responsibility by claiming they're "just entertainment".

Realistically, the kids will find their way around the ban.

Judging by the comments here, the 1worldflag should have been a picture of two people arguing.

As much as I would like to socialize LLMs and ban proprietary LLMs, I'm pretty sure the issue here is with the distribution of the books.

That color scheme reminds me of more peaceful days. The 1990s were peak civilization.

This applies to all software. You didn't make the monitor your app is being displayed on. Stop taking credit for the compiler that made your code runnable, etc.

I started with Vivaldi. Was unstable in my experience. Constant crashes.

Brave is has pre-configured as block that works on everything, also a polished sync experience.

Simon,

Just piggy backing on this post since I'm early:

Would love to see your take on how the AI and Django worlds will collide.

Excuse my ignorance but why are there so many solutions like this? Especially if they aren't intercompatible (which I'm assuming they're not)

That's fine for me. As someone who can't draw or design for shit, I am getting effectively millions of dollars worth of artist time for $20/month.

The solution is to socialize AI, not ban it.
