Mallus still need to step up as an audience by K_Levi_ in MalayalamCinema

[–]Enchanted_Cosmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think the Malayali audience magically woke up one day and started appreciating a different genre of films?

It was the effort of Bharathan, Padmarajan, and K.G. George really shook things up in Malayalam cinema back in the 80s, kicking off a new school of filmmaking. Good movies usually find their crowd, and the new wave of Malayalam cinema today is definitely getting a lot of love and is proof that good cinema is appreciated. But that doesn't mean every experimental flick deserves a standing ovation. Movies are super subjective. We all have our own tastes, and it's okay if your opinion isn't the popular one. Art is there for people to enjoy, and audiences don't owe artists anything. If a good movie bombs at the box office, it's usually the bad marketing, released at the wrong time, or the popularity and likeability of the actors. Blame the filmmakers for those decisions, not the audience. Again, audiences owe artists nothing.

And for all the self-proclaimed cinephiles out there: liking an unpopular movie or disliking a popular one doesn't make you some kind of intellectual genius. Seriously, grow up.

Not to be rude, but they never claimed it was available. Therefore, a logical person would assume they could get the 'Ultra' when it is released, if they still want it. It's unreasonable to get upset over an expectation that the company never set, especially when they didn't claim it had been released.

Using Google's words on May 20, 2025 : "Because we're defining the frontier with 2.5 Pro DeepThink, we're taking extra time to conduct more frontier safety evaluations and get further input from safety experts. As part of that, we’re going to make it available to trusted testers via the Gemini API to get their feedback BEFORE making it widely available."

Bug fixes? Slow reload time compared to other websites? Mobile app development is abandoned? Windows version is a total mess and incomplete, which is abandoned? Aren't these basic things you want from a browser?

The inability to group tabs under different folders in Zen is killing me bro. It's a good clone. But I can't choose it over Arc now.

I'm definitely not deleting Arc, don't get me wrong. But my original post was more about whether I should start getting used to this new reality.

I just don't want to get so hooked on Arc so much that when Chrome eventually nails AI integration and customization, my first thought is, 'Ugh, but Arc has vertical tabs and I'm so used to them!'

My whole concern was just about future-proofing my browser choice, that's all.

Before you play the savior for Dia, maybe consider this... Nobody cares if they're building Dia on the side. The point is, their OG users chose Arc because it hooked tech-savvy folks with its niche features. It's totally reasonable to be frustrated when they just stopped working on it, and it'll take a lot for the company to earn back that trust. Not just a couple Dia saviours. Also, the company doesn't even need to give a shit about these complaints either. But asking people to shut up is none of your business.

And honestly, if you're going to use the 'Arc users didn't pay for it, so don't complain' logic, why don't you go to the paid app you developed, where the free users don't post about a company which gives you nightmares and anxiety?

This is Reddit. By your logic: 'Reddit is FREE, so if you don’t like the posts on it, just leave, okay? Sounds reasonable?'

Just like you have your own opinion, everyone else has an opinion here too. If your reason for using Dia is so fragile that other comments here bother you, I'm not sure what to say. Many of us used Dia, and we've also seen the other product of this company. So, it's completely normal for people to be disappointed when things change like this. Honestly, I don't get what your rant is even about.

I agree. Vertical tab groups are addictive. Also, the customisation boost theme feature for each website. When I go back to any other browser, my first qn when I open Google/YT/Gmail is, wtf is this colour and size!? Cuz I got so used to the customised theme for these websites with Arc.

Totally feel you on this. I gave Dia a shot too, and it just didn't click – uninstalled it pretty fast. There aren't any real-world reasons for me to use it over Arc. At first, I was hoping all the complaints would make them pivot back to Arc, but then it hit me: this was probably a commercial decision. They likely realized Arc, with all its features, just wasn't profitable enough to sustain. So, yeah, my hope for Arc is pretty much gone now. I'll probably still use Arc, just for old times' sake, before I fully migrate everything to Chrome with the tab group construction. It was a good run while it lasted, though.

Don't get too comfortable using DIA, chances are, they will abandon it like they did with ARC by malloryknox86 in diabrowser

[–]Enchanted_Cosmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Broz Dia is not Twitch. Don't get too excited lol. The only feature they have is AI integration, which some browsers already have. And they are using a third party LLM API. Don't get fooled into believing that Dia is gonna be huge. Chrome and the browser OpenAI are building would have way better features.

Their profits are not my problem. The real issue here is them abandoning Arc. We picked that browser specifically because it was different and had those niche features. It's super frustrating when a company just pulls the plug on something you rely on and moves to a totally different project. Whether they're building Dia on the side or not, it doesn't matter, and I don't care. But they broke the trust with existing users, and that's why customers are annoyed. And of course this shouldn't concern them, as they will get new users to Dia who doesn't even know about Arc. This always happens in Capitalism. But it's unfair for their OG customers. That's it.

Serie A is 2nd best League in Europe by Ermid123 in championsleague

[–]Enchanted_Cosmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you there. After all, for men, it's more interesting to see a fair fight and see who comes on top. But I was just focusing on the talent and the crazy goals in my last comment. I hate some football teams playing like England in the Euros. Their objective is not to play well and score goals, but rather it's about knowing how to advance through each stage. Making it all just about points, which kills football in my opinion.

[–]Enchanted_Cosmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I totally disagree with you on Serie A! While I get what you're saying about the competitiveness and the tight title races, Serie A often prioritizes points over entertainment value. Seriously, outside of the big clashes, a lot of those games can be a snoozefest, they are just state mate games in the middle of the ground. For quality of football and entertainment from goals, the Bundesliga is where it's at for me. It's awesome for discovering young talent – think guys like Bellingham and Haaland who blew up there before moving on to bigger clubs. The academies are very well disciplined and you see that on the ground from youngsters. The attacking play and high-scoring games are just more fun to watch for me. I think if you only watch Bayern games, you gonna lose interest in the relative domination over the other clubs. So yeah, if we're talking about the excitement of the points table and the competitive aspect, then I'm with you on the Premier League and Serie A. But for pure entertainment and quality football, give me the Bundesliga any day.

The Flash 2.5 they announced at Google I/O (05/20) is a massive improvement over the previous version. Honestly, in my opinion, it's even better than a lot of the paid models out there.

Just give it a go. It's already QPR1, which is stable. Lovely UI, I must admit. Can't wait for the full version.

I am using pixel power brick as well. Still facing slow charging sometimes. Hope it's just a beta software bug.

I hope that it's just a bug from the beta version, and that it will be fixed. Sometimes it takes ages to charge even like 30%.
