It’s like trying to give up smoking when all your friends still smoke. Even if you do give it up you either also give up your friends or still reek of cigarettes.

I’ve seen people say stuff made in china is junk while holding their iPhone. People say the dumbest things.

Also for every game dev working on GTA6, there's another working on Barbie's Horse Adventure. When positions are limited, you take what you can get and most of them are making games that are not at all interesting.

We just want it to understand how to write code. We don’t also need it to know how to grow a potato.

Gaining 700 users "speaks for itself"? All this stats page shows me is how few people actually use Kagi. You'd think it was millions of users based on the way people astroturf it here.

Find a better bank I guess. I’ve never used my phone for banking of any kind ever.

People just want to bitch online about printers not being open enough while they type their comments from their fully closed and locked down phones.

You can use Bambu printers fully offline. All this vitriol about them is severely misplaced IMO.

If you think they aggressively rent seek then you do not know the history of game publishing.

Start your own company. If you’re already doing everything yourself then you don’t need to do it for someone else.

You literally have one of the easiest things to retire to. You can do whatever you want with computers when you retire and for the rest of your life.

If you were an ER doctor and loved saving lives it would be a little harder.

I'm not exactly sure what the point of this is. Deepseek already has instructions to use its API with many CLI's including Claude Code directly:

Same except mine was over 30 years ago (an OG TI-85). Still on my desk, still use it almost every day for something or other.

You make your own subscription. If you want to pay $20/month then put $20 into your account. When you use it up, wait till the next month (or buy more).

The planetary alignment that allowed the Voyager probes to move so fast only occurs every 175 years. Even with this advantage it took them 12 years to get to Neptune. So the short answer is no.
