  • I get the appeal of this, but I feel this is part of a broader problem of relying on AI for problems that already have elegant, simple solutions. Like relying on LLM’s to tell you what was the last google doc that you viewed is just not sustainable and creates bad habits. Soon people will ask what was the last tab I was just in, instead of using a keyboard shortcut and or having proper tab management.

    Imagine using it for your code editor, instead of using the built-in functionality of jump-lists, marks, fuzzy finders and so on… Or switching to an editor that has these things. What file was I just in? Where did I just write this function?

    “When asked, the AI even double checks if the document was shared in a group chat with his coworkers.”

    How about learning to just use search?


  • There’s something about Bluesky I just don’t quite like. I have an account, sometimes (rarely) I use it. But for example today I wanted to share a short video with a friend. I send him the link - “only logged in users can see this post (OP himself set this option)” ok, weird but let me download the vid and send him - “nope can’t do that”

    They literally added some frontend bullshit to not allow you to download a freaking video. When you Inspect it with developer tools it shows a button… If you try saving it with right clicking it will save the thumbnail instead… I know there are probably easy-ish workarounds but this sort of instagram closedness pisses me off.

    Meanwhile in Mastodon I right click and save video as…

    I also don’t like the underlying complexity of how decentralization is supposed to work there. That being said, if the choice is between twitter, threads or bluesky, please use bluesky.

    I prefer Mastodon, though.
