I hope for the EU to come after Sony. Before you could argue that you could buy games as a disc and just play them. It of course was a monopoly before, but now it is pretty clear

If this wouldn't be under Mozilla/Thunderbird Org on Github, I would have considered this to be fake. It looks very unsubstantial ...

Since the rise of AI systems I really wonder how people wrote code before. This is exactly how I planned out implementation and executed the plan. Might have been some paper notes, a ticket or a white board, buuuuut ... I don't know.

I am a huge fan of OpenSuperWhisper (https://github.com/Starmel/OpenSuperWhisper). Works local and is more than enough for me.

Not only is the website layout horrible to read, it also smells like the article was written by AI. My brain just screams "no" when I try to read that.

Last thing I did when I was a student was to buy the Apple pro apps bundle for education. It still haven't regretted it :D

So, if you are a student, you can get logic, final cut, motion, compressor and mainStage for $199.99 for ever.

After Atlassian renaming products to apps (and anything else to "work"), I thought it cannot become worse this year. I was wrong.

Apple TV+ was already confusing enought ... "No you don't need an Apple TV, it is just a name" ...

New comment by zuInnp in "KDE is now my favorite desktop"

zuInnp — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 18:47:20 +0000

I got a 5 year old Lenovo Thinkcentre for free and tried multiple desktops. The only desktop that had great scaling at a 4k screen was KDE. Gnome was okay with 1x or 2x scaling, but 1.3x ... big nope. Did not work out, performance was very bad.

With the end of Windows 10 support, I installed KDE Neon on my parents computers. Works fine, they can use it. Even on the Surface Pro 5 touchscreen, KDE works great.

In the past I was using Gnome (or Ubuntu's Unity) and never was a fan of KDE, but right now (especially because of the great 4k scaling), I really like it.

I don't get the hate ... yes, it is a lot of boilerplate, but at the same time it is very explicit and doesn't hide complexity.

I also have tried Emby, that worked great too. I installed it via docker and have both Plex and Emby running.

I did the same like 2 years ago, but I am using Plex on my NAS. That gives me both, flexibility and owning my music. Only downside is that I don’t want to open ports to the outside, so I use WireGuard on my router.

New comment by zuInnp in "Turning Claude Code into my best design partner"

zuInnp — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 11:15:46 +0000

What I don't get about all the "if you plan it out first, it gets better" approach is, how did they work before?!

For anything bigger than small size features, I always think about what I do and why I do things. Sometimes in my head, sometimes on paper, a Confluence page or a white board.

I don't really get it. 80 % of software engineering is to figure out what you need and how to achieve this. You check with the stake holders, write down the idea of what you want to do and WHY you want to do it. You do some research.

Last 20 % of the process is coding.

This was always the process. You don't need AI for proper planning and defining your goals.

Blender is one of my favorite open source tool.

Having a UI/UX for tablets is awesome, especially for sculpting (zBrush launched their iPad version last year - but since Maxon bought it, all is subscription only).

I joined the Blender development fund last year, they do pretty awesome stuff.

New comment by zuInnp in "How Anthropic teams use Claude Code"

zuInnp — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 05:31:59 +0000

I prefer to use Claude code like a smart rubber ducky while I write most the code in the end. I added rules to make claude first explain what it want to do in chat (and code changes should only be implemented if I ask for it). I like it to talk about ideas, discuss solutions and approaches. But I am in control of it - in the end, I am the person repsonsible for the code.

Since I don't like it to automatically do changes to files, I copy&paste the code from terminal to the IDE. That seems slow at first, but it allows me to correct the bigger and smaller issues on the fly faster than prompting Claude to my preffered solution. In my opinion, this makes more sense since I have more control and it is easier to spot problematic code. When fixing such issues, I point Claude to changes afterwards to add to its context.

For me Claude is like a very (over) confident junior developer. You have to keep an eye on them and if it is faster do it yourself, then just do it and explain them why you did it. (That might be a bad approach for Juniors, but for Claude it works for me)

Btw, can we talk about that this blog post is written by the company that tries to sell the tool? So we should take it with a huge grain of salt... . Like all what these AI companies are telling us, should probably be ignored for 90 % of time. They either want to raise money or or getting bought by some other company in the end ...

New comment by zuInnp in "Why is the world losing color?"

zuInnp — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:56:38 +0000

For me, it is very apparent in movies nowadays.

I watched the Lord of the Rings over Christmas, and I was stunned by how colorful the movie is. Even in the darkest scenes in Mordor, it felt more colorful than movies of today.

Today, it looks like everything is shot in log and then someone does not add the saturation back. But I am also guilty of this .. when I got my new camera, my graded clips also looked very flat, but I like(d) that look because of all the movies and youtube videos looking like this.
