No need for this, the Trump administration has been the enemy all along

Gitea forking from Gogs was somewhat justified but I’ve always felt like Forgejo forking from Gitea was a huge overreaction to nothing

This doesn’t seem like such a big deal but it’s just more evidence that Google’s word is trash. Just don’t rely on them for anything and you’ll be fine

A few months ago, but good to know, I’ll give it another try!

I use Safari and Arc because they’re both innovative in ways that’s not matched by open source counterparts.

I tried ditching Arc for Zen, but it just doesn’t have the same level of polish. It feels like a copycat, which it is. I hope it gets better with time so that I can switch to it some day but it’s not there yet. They should be able to match Arc though since it’s development is stopped.

I use Safari because it syncs well between macOS and iOS and I like how Apple has been experimenting with it for the past years (since iOS 21 iirc). They try new stuff with the UI and it works for me.

I've been using Claude Code at work and OpenCode for side projects for a few months. Every OpenCode model I've tried always felt subpar compared to Claude, but good enough. But it changed with DeepSeek 4.1 Flash, I've been using it for the past few days and I've come to forget I was not using Claude, it's a really good model and it's basically free for my usage (I used it almost all the weekend and spent ~$5)

I thought it looked good, it feels polished, their mascot looks cool, and I like it when open source gives two shits about design.

HN really does kill the joy of open source announcements. This is cool news, the redesign looks great (it made me reinstall Firefox after years of using Safari and Arc) and I like it. Yet look at the comments. I don't understand why people bother posting when they clearly seem to hate whatever Mozilla does

Zen (and Arc) are much more than just vertical tabs. Native, neatly integrated support for vertical tabs is amazing and a step in the right direction but it's far from Arc in terms of usability, the main missing thing being the lack of "spaces" (ie. in the vertical sidebar you can swipe left/right to get a different space of tabs with different bookmarks)

Same. Maybe it's made for macOS users, and Linux/Windows users will hate it on principle

Because I want a split view of 2 tabs, not 2 windows. The 2 tabs go together but they don't go with other tabs

... do you really get confused between a tab and an input? Come on, be real.

> design is supposed to be invisible

I don't know who told you that but that's a terrible take. Design can have personality. Design can convey emotions. Design can give you emotions and reactions by itself.

Not everything needs to be bland like a user manual

It's been a trend for years before AI... I remember the Balenciaga website being one of the first big names doing it in like... 2018?

They're just more subtly wrong when they are

The model is irrelevant, plan mode helps us ensure the model will actually do what we have in mind. The best model in the world can't work around misinterpretation because of bad specs. I'm not sure why this is even a discussion, isn't it obvious to anyone actually using LLMs?
