the most generous reading of this is that Zuck has lost a bunch of high profile hires in the space and he’s buying this for vibes alone (pun not intended) so that people don’t think Meta is falling behind. but no it’s not a real thing lol

Bluesky changes course Jay Graber built something impressive but stagnant. Can a new CEO get it growing again?

I wrote about Bluesky's CEO switch. Jay Graber deserves lasting credit for building a big and bustling community. But the challenges ahead of the company are significant: www.platformer.news/bluesky-ceo-...

All the preinstalled apps you can safely delete from your Samsung Galaxy phone Don't let bloatware clutter your new device

not sure why. android police lists it with many others www.androidpolice.com/samsung-gala...

If I could indulge a little bit of sentimentality: Marathon was my first AAA project and my first paid game capture gig. Considering how most of my work was done on a PS5 controller, I got the Marathon one to celebrate πŸ‘Ύ

product feedback on the internet be like "I hate it and you and I think you're ontologically evil for creating it and if you ever take it away from me I will kill you"

it’s such a shame because the s pen is the only thing i missed when i switched! loved having a little moleskine like phone. finally splurged on a remarkable pro move though and it’s solved the same problem for me

yeah the app doubling is crazy. like again it’s all the google agreement stuff, if samsung could release their phones without gmail preloaded on them they probably would. but then google blocks the play store (can’t believe they still call it that despite killing play music? weird)

if we’re going back to like pre 2018 samsung then yes I did not like the UX at all. i had a note 2 and i couldn’t stand it coming from a galaxy nexus, it was the phone that ultimately made me switch to iOS. if the pixel was around back then I might not have

i mean there’s a lot more than 1, but i’m not trying to be an ass about it. i don’t mind them putting their own email client on there alongside gmail etc, and samsungs ux has gotten much better since the latest iteration of OneUI, but i do not want my phone to have a linkedin app i can’t remove no

like google is gonna be google and i have my issues with them but i think if you're gonna pick your poison of a big tech company id like it to only be one of them and not all of them at once

Samsung's $1,300 Galaxy S26 Ultra flagship has a bloatware problem The Galaxy S26 Ultra costs up to $1,800, but Samsung still packs it with bloatware. All these preinstalled apps are eating your storage.

agreed, i think pre loaded is annoying but you can just remove them from a phone you give someone. afaik the S26 literally comes with copilot now?? just absolutely insane

dont samsung galaxy phones still come with onedrive on them

yeah exactly. its why i only recommend pixels or iphones. on paper a samsung phone looks amazing, in practice its nails on a chalkboard opening that thing to all its bloat and cruft

way less than I expected tbh. are you running it all off vms or did you pick some PaaS vendor to handle the db scaling?

imo i see this as the opposite: the iPhone could already be a good device if you plug it into a monitor because the foundations of windowing have been built into iPadOS / the iPhone Ultra will have it

Cartoon of a stick figure holding a tablet, surrounded by chaotic red and black arrows and orange starbursts. Text labels in a circular flow: top "i make the agent create an issue", right "their agent looks at the issue", bottom "their agent submits a solution", left "i make my agent check the solution". Arrows connect the text, illustrating a cyclical process with overlapping lines and starburst shapes.

All I'm learning from the MacBook Neo is that Apple could be shipping an iPhone that turns into a Mac when you plug it into a monitor, they just choose not to so you buy more of their things

Fake AI Content About the Iran War Is All Over X X’s Grok is failing to accurately verify video footage from the Iran conflict and is sharing its own AI-generated images about the war.

This thread is embarrassing and displays a wild misunderstanding of how this tech works, resulting in work that legitimizes what it seeks to criticize

In short: stop asking chatbots to comment on geopolitics (or anything, really) you credulous rubes

such a brilliant way of putting it, had the same feelings for a while but was never sure how to articulate it

is it a hot take for me to say i don't believe programming to be art; and this is a big reason why i am 100% fine with using ai for it.

I think the biggest good sign for Marathon is that it is very self selecting. it being polarizing is fineβ€”they’re making very bold choices and they’re totally okay with people bouncing off it. It is a game for true sickos.

I've worked for organizations with interim CEOs and they're usually just there to keep the trains running. Sometimes they can be a useful face for a publicly difficult decision. The executive search for the new CEO is what matters.
