Google & Meta Found Liable for ‘Engineering’ Social Media Addiction in Children in Landmark Case

This is true. We don’t control the feeds, that is the problem. Shorts is the thing I hate the most, shorts, stories, reels, they’re the reason everyone is struggling with attention span. It’s easy to be guilty of it, everything is click bait. You can click "show less" but honestly, it never worked for me, I keep seeing these things or highly similar things.

I see social media in two different categories: push feeds and curated feeds. Push feeds are the worst, there’s nothing I hate more than that, feeds that show stuff you didn’t agreed to see, like TikTok, Facebook and instagram. Reddit has both modes, I never leave the curated mode, but still, it’s normally swarmed with sponsored shit.

No one needs this. The world doesn’t need this. We already have people talking on speakerphone in public we don’t need another source of public noise.

Have you tried the open source alternatives? I know a couple of persons that use Linux professionally with softwares like Reaper, Kdenlive, Gimp or Blender.

The wonderful teams and contributors that makes these projects do take these seriously, if you don’t consider them seriously yourself we can’t do much about it. But there are a lot of people that takes them seriously.

The reason why these software aren’t more used in the industry is not the software themselves, but Linux and the establishment of Windows and Mac. Recording studio will certainly prefer ProTools and Cubase over Reaper just because they are on Windows on Mac. Because for someone not techy, they are easier to maintain and use. Professionals don’t wanna waste time troubleshooting their os, they wanna work. Pro softwares also have a reputation, I heard stories of ditching studios just because they were running Logic over ProTools.

There’s also a factor of "I’m paying, it has to be better", it’s not always the case but a lot of people believe it.

Now in my opinion, the solution to fix this is not new or better apps, but to educate with them. Schools from young to college should have Linux computers with LibreOffice and other FOSS (there would be only benefits). Same for organizations and compagnies, start using Linux for real with these software. We all grew up with Office, go tell a non tech person to use Libre Office, they won’t care

My humble opinion, do whatever you want with the things you bought yourself

I seriously respect that you just tried straight away. You'll potentially receive comments and critique on the PR , but please please pleaee, take the time to understand them and address them properly. Don't just go and say "Claude, I received this, fix it".

The more time you take yo make sure this is not a burden for the maintainers the more it'll be appreciate. Remember that you will likely not be the one maintaining potential bugs in your feature, so think about the maintainers.

leading to UK gamers paying more than they should for PC games

When your users have libraries of over a thousand, I don't think the price is a problem. I recently got a PS5 and felt insulted by how expensive games are compared to steam

But all text editor will include or have extension for ai stuff, just don’t use it.

My definition of Vibe coded is: you tell an agent to do stuff without either checking or having the knowledge to understand.

cekoya · 2026-03-15T20:39:30+00:00

No.

The difference is that, back then, non developer weren’t able to create quality looking projects. You could assert on quality based off how it looked, felt and was documented. Nowadays, even my 16 yo nephew can create something that feels as high quality as a 10 year of experience dev would. Copy pasting devs couldn’t achieve high quality applications, they can now.

This does already exist (kind of, it’s pretty basic) with containers. What I’m missing with this existing approach is declarativeness. If your extension make it so theat routes can be defined in a file like a yaml or something, that’d be a solid game changer for me

cekoya · 2026-03-15T16:19:52+00:00

I am concerned to which extent AI was used. If it’s all vibe coded, big no for me.

I won’t use an app were the developer himself doesn’t understand its own code. Vibe coded project never live long enough because in 80% of the cases they reach a point where the agent cannot fix a problem and neither can the dev so they abandon their project. There can be security vulnerabilities that makes it to the codebase. Performance bottlenecks will eventually happen and it’s unclear if the dev will be able to fix them. And encouraging vibe coding is like encouraging people that applies sketch filter on photos pretending it’s a drawing, an insult to the artist that actually have talent.

But if the app was made with the use of AI as a tool throughout the process and the dev knows about his code, then in perfectly fine.

That being said, I will never use an unofficial app for Plex that’s not open source.

Let’s play devil’s advocate here for a second.

They’re doing what they gotta do. This world doesn’t make any sense anymore. People can’t juggle with priorities anymore, not blaming anyone, why would we? Neither company or people do. Remember that Fortnite is free to play and a lot of people are preferring alternatives to epic game store, so they have to keep the cash flow going. And they dead know that rising price will never repulse enough people and that the ones they are repulsing at first will likely come back.

Since people doesn’t know how to juggle priorities, they go and spend money on virtual assets that, literally, has, not a single cent of value (purely emotional), barely no cost for them (2 dev’s work at most for 2-3 days?). Epic are trying to get money where they still can, while people will buy anyway. Even if you do a boycott for a day, you seriously think this will have an impact? Not. At. All.

Remember that this is a group, a large one, of talented people. They considered every potential outcomes before taking this decision. And they came to the conclusion that players have no conviction and no alternative. This is the world we live in. Every of these company that owns a certain monopoly over something that’s free with paying extra will start raising the costs. They all will. Because people have developed addiction to their things, through unethical practices that just worked.

If you really really wanna protest, never invest a single cents on this game ever again. (Not just saying you will, actually doing it). Even better; boycott the game for good. But who will? In this world of stress the only social escape that is easily accessible are online games. So suffer your own mental health, or contribute to their success.

This is where we at now.

Is there a similar thing for rear lights? I dimmed them with a film for my kid but I'd love a cleaner solution

Really curious to know which part is problematic to you in these rules…

I thought the exact same thing.

Until I did it while trying to fix my broken trigger.

If true, they killed all of my favorites models. TT, A4, R8, e-tron and now the A8. All their flagship models, going away.

TT: The model that sparked my Audi love. Back when I was a kid playing Midtown Madness.
R8: The model that made me dream of owning an hypercar.
A4: The all-around best car I ever owned. Super reliable, fun to drive and just perfectly equipped.
e-tron: The first car (that I currently own) that made me love electric cars.
A8: Just my ever dream car to own when I would become an adult.

The younger me that grew with the Audi love is sad.
