I don't think I would even trust an open source version that I fully control. Either it would be a pain in the ass to maintain it or it would eventually have some major vuln discovered and lead to people being hacked. Too risky.

I yearn to go back to the days when a 2 minute lapse in focus/interest didn't subconsciously send me reaching for my phone.

Can't wait for adverts for the ass blaster 9000® to be beamed directly into my frontal lobe without my consent.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong. The article does not say where this is happening.

AFAIK these might be illegal in the US but only by technicality since we have laws against flashing lights. Especially ones that could be mistaken for police lights. (yes I know they are box trucks not police cars. But while you are driving and just see the lights in your mirrors you might mistake it for police).

This is basically what I discovered as well. I have found that Ai writes code that is complex and "works" (at least most of the time) but it is heavily over engineered and often contains design choices that make expanding functionality effectively impossible without a full refactor.

When I tried having the Ai fix a test failure the Ai would either fix the code, fix the test, or change the test and the code breaking everything else in the chain.

I no longer use vibe coding because it is just faster/better for me to write the code.

But for tiny scripts it is very good.

The last time I tried vscodium the devcontainers support was very poor. That is the main thing keeping me on vscode.

The cyclists around where I am ignore stop signs and lights. I've seen some that will get to a red light, take a right without stopping. Immediately take a u turn less that 30 feet from the intersection. Then take another right without stopping.

I'm not convinced that criminalizing them is the correct answer. Ideally we would just build real bike infrastructure and public transit. Less cars on the road is also probably a lot safer for cyclists and pedestrians.

I would support something that gets other cyclists to stop breaking the law. Running stop signs and red lights is dangerous for no fucking reason. I'm not sure if this is the right way though.

Maybe we should give them license plates and ban the flock cameras. Two birds, one stone.

Might be easier to come up with a specific name for installing something from Google. "Google loading" maybe.

The we just go back to "installing".

I can get behind a delay to enable side loading and the warning screens are nothing to me since I can just click past them. Though the delay should be more like 30-60 minutes at the most.

The real problem is requiring devs (even outside of the play store) to identify themselves. That is ridiculous and does absolutely nothing to secure the device for the user. (It only secures it under Google for their interests)

That's fair. Most of what I listen to is very modern (within the last 2 decades or so). I could see those being difficult to find.
