My Bitaxe isn't switching to AI. You're welcome.

That isn't to say I think we shouldn't address the issue. I'm just seeing the same failed tactics that people used for global warming. All it does is push people into closed camps when the fears don't materialize in the declared timeframe. Even worse, the proposed solutions (typically authoritarian) often make the situation worse and hinder what could have been actual progress. View quoted note →

Quantum is the new global warming.

Yeah... But... Not anyone can make it well. And that's the problem. I think this will improve over time (I think it has been), but go vibe a moderately complex application and you'll quickly cut through the bullshit into reality. The truth is actually somewhere close to the middle, which is typical. View quoted note →

Nissan, if it has a hope left, needs to give the fuck up on their CVTs and all the other stuff they can't get right. They just aren't cut out for it. Just be the cheap car you are and give broke people basic shit that just works. Fill that gap.

Most people outside the US don't have this problem (from what I've read), but group SMS/MMS is fucking annoying. I hate them. I almost never want to be in them and they essentially rob me of my peace by forcing their way back into my life every time someone responds to a message. The best I've come up with is to mute them, but the messages still come. And it's worse when they contain people I don't even know. I had a landlord that did that and for some reason older people love to do it.

And I do have a much better understanding of how difficult client development is now that I'm working on one. It's hard. But we'll get nowhere if we just jerk each other off constantly. View quoted note →

Jumble is pretty good too. Wisp or Jumble (for those who want or need more platform support) are my go to clients right now. I haven't tried them all though. I'm only speaking on what I have tried. There are probably other good clients out there. View quoted note →

This summarizes my experience with Primal every time I've tried it over the years. It's slow compared to everything else I've used, which is weird given the tradeoffs they make. Shouldn't it be faster? I didn't think to record until about 30 seconds of loading. I gave up and closed it. This is the same story on multiple devices over multiple years. Maybe it's me, but it only seems to be me on Primal. I can get things to load eventually, but the issues eventually show up again, usually as a sluggishness that makes the app a literal drag to use. I went in to drain my wallet but figured I'd see if the latest update was better than those in the past. Not really. I honestly can't understand how anyone is still using it. I'm not trying to be a dick. I know I can be one sometimes. But dude... We have people working for fuck out here (solo people) coming up with stuff that works better. I WANT clients worth paying a Premium fee for, but the ones worth the most aren't getting much funding or offering paid upgrades. And I'm pretty worried about apps like Primal being sold as the one for noobs. In fact, Primal is the reason it took me several times of coming and going before finally discovering other clients and sticking around. I thought Nostr was broken when the issues were mostly Primal. I appreciate the good things Primal has brought, but I don't think it should be recommended to newcomers. It's frustrating to use. Wisp is the closest I've seen to a client I feel I could just hand to a noob and not worry about constant tech support requests. It is what it is.

Software builders: What are your thoughts on version numbering for software? Do you have a favorite method?
