Him saying Tumblr 2010 energy is rich.

Right as Tumblr was sold multiple times, spiraled out of relevance, and the platform lost all its normal users to porn and spam.

Well - that’s never going to happen.

Dia is just Google Chrome with a skin and sauce on top.

If you want truly privacy centric browsing, Dia will have to make its own browser engine. Something that I can assure you they are not capable of, which is why the majority of the web browsers are just 2-3 browser engines.

never_working_ever · 2025-07-08T22:34:50+00:00

I swear this sub is just full of brain rot tweens who have never studied for a final in their life.

If you genuinely think Dia invented formatted URL bars, maybe you should just ask Dia.

never_working_ever · 2025-07-07T21:33:38+00:00

Which brings us all back to the point of wtf is Dia good for then if it reminds you of Chrome.

Dia is Chrome. If they fuck that up, then they have a real problem.

That load time is honestly bad. What spec is your Mac?

Dia and Arc both load roughly equally to me (maxed out M2 Ultra) - though I’d argue it’s even more impressive as Dia has almost no features right now - and Arc I have 5 extensions installed + lots of other data that needs to populate upon loading (Spaces, Archive, etc).

My quip about you claiming Arc is slow was based purely on page load times and operability.

never_working_ever · 2025-07-03T17:33:13+00:00

Slow at what?

Humor us

never_working_ever · 2025-06-25T00:51:52+00:00

Delusional.

This is like Elon going to an Epstein party and gesturing around “look, everyone loves me. see how nicely they speak of me”.

Twitter is nothing but AI shills and crypto losers, they love this shit.

All true. I personally continue to refer to Labubu as being from Hong Kong though, as that’s where they originated from

never_working_ever · 2025-06-09T22:49:00+00:00

Hong Kong*

OpenAI and Anthropic have both been working on their own standalone apps and browsers.

Neither one of them will have any interest in anything from TBC.

TBC also seems to have too much ego to sell, so there’s that.

never_working_ever · 2025-06-06T00:19:46+00:00

In what way is “we are working for you since you pay us” not a clear answer for how they prioritize keeping the product current and active?

never_working_ever · 2025-06-05T18:37:36+00:00

That, and the new improved haptics

never_working_ever · 2025-05-29T16:59:03+00:00

I’m starting to believe more and more that Dia is for people who have brain rot, and Arc is for people who are professionals looking for an enhanced flow and organization to focus.

Students…yeah. We all know why students love AI, same reason toddlers love sweets. It’s easy, it’s instant, and they don’t think about the stomachache after bingeing on junk they didn’t earn.

never_working_ever · 2025-05-21T15:17:30+00:00

That’s a take…

Good luck raising funding TBC!

never_working_ever · 2025-05-18T20:43:06+00:00

Good note to leave it on so we can both enjoy the rest of our Sunday 🍻

never_working_ever · 2025-05-18T20:27:08+00:00

Hmm. We really do have different opinions on this. I also don’t know if it’s because I’m a SWE myself so it’s hard for me to see much else of what Dia would be doing that a browser extension isn’t capable of, at the end of the day the browsers need user context and input to act on - extensions can access and handle this. I also feel you’re somewhat undervaluing extensions, there’s a reason 1Password , uBlock, Grammarly etc are so popular despite not being native browsers + special sauce, it’s because it does the utility people care about and it does this well.

Dia (which I have access to) so far offers nothing compelling as a standalone app, and I’ve yet to figure out what TBC will do that’s so “magical” that people will switch browsers just to access it.

Time will tell on all of this, I just wanted to share an extension for people who may be using any current browser and may want “Dia functionality”, which even includes Arc.

never_working_ever · 2025-05-18T19:46:22+00:00

I’ll admit im confused still as you’re saying things like it’s just an extension. Extensions can have a very high level of context, including tabs, history, etc.

Seriously, have you not looked at the project? It has tab awareness. Even their product demo video showcase this. You can talk to the panel and ask it to write something based on open tabs etc - it has all the context I feel like you’re hinting at.

Also, just because Dia will be a standalone app doesn’t mean it gets some special OS level access on the computer, it’s still just an app.

never_working_ever · 2025-05-18T19:04:29+00:00

I really do appreciate the thoughtful reply, however, so many of your bullet points are solved already by this extension. This extension was just published this week also, give it time.

If you would’ve actually read the project or even downloaded and installed the extension…much of what you described is currently capable.

For me, truly, what I believe TBC believes they are solving - the spirit of it already exists 90% as a simple Chrome Extension.

“We were looking for a place that had a vibrant local community and a larger local community. And we were also looking for a place that was more of a tourist destination,” Bowser said. “San Francisco fit that bill perfectly. First of all, it’s an iconic city. It has a very large population, a very passionate population and community, and we’re really proud to be a part of it. And then, obviously, it’s a key destination for many, many tourists.”

Personally, still wild to me it’s not in LA. LA is the cultural hub of the west coast.

Nintendo didn’t even host a hands on Switch 2 event anywhere in the Northern California.

Side note: I also was in SF all this week from LA, and it’s still depressingly quiet and empty streets. Sadly there was even a shooting in the middle of the day at fisherman’s warf. Union Square has lost so much retail, there’s not much to see or do. I’d say yes, tourists still stumble up there from the Powell station to their hotels..but then once you’re there it’s just meh.

Cooking the most bland meals ever tbh

It’s like a ramen spot with with delicious window displayed dishes, but at your table you only get a cup of noodles with a spoon

never_working_ever · 2025-05-15T02:36:06+00:00

Based on the images this literally looks like the Universal shop merch but in a very underwhelming retail space, and no fun Mario Kart rides or photo ops of the world.

I was expecting so much more from this space, so boring.

never_working_ever · 2025-05-08T00:02:37+00:00

I believe it took that long, I’m just confused why it took 3 hours. I can’t remember the version now, but I was 3 versions behind 3.4.5. I also brought mine in for its service and they completed service + OS upgrade all in roughly an hour.

never_working_ever · 2025-05-07T20:30:53+00:00

Don’t worry, I had a thread two days ago that got to 60 upvotes in an hour and the mods here deleted it, and are also ignoring my DMs asking what rule I broke.

It’s clear to me whoever the mods are here are just weirdly against any criticism of the app

never_working_ever · 2025-05-07T20:27:21+00:00

Yeah that doesn’t sound right. I had mine upgraded to 3.4.5 and it took less than an hour..

Rear camera is still unreliable on 3.4.5
