well, it's true i have not gotten into maintenance mode with them, but, the cool thing is that the context windows are huge and they have developed automatic ways of compacting the context windows, so i've been able to go multiple days before the ai starts to lose its mind. so, i think that maintenance mode won't be as difficult as it would have been 6 months ago. eg: they're quite good when you point them at a code base and tell them to read all the files and tell you what the system does; so i think maintenance will be pretty straightforward, even with new chat sessions. and re: debugging: what's actually been cool is it's like having another programmer at my side to bounce ideas off of, when trying to figure out what might be causing a problem. eg: rubberducking. but the ai itself can oftentimes figure out what the problem is on its own.

why is brave so popular among normies?
literally every irl normalfag i know has this shit installed and they always say the exact same lines like "this browser is better because it bocks ads by default" or "this browser is more secure and private" or "brave is better because it doesn't eat your ram and is faster"
where did they learn this nonsense? they all look like brainwashed ignorants

I've used it for years only recently swapped to librewolf on pc and ironfox on mobile. It just works and I'll be honest I'm such a poor fag I enable the ads so I can get my 10p a month in BAT. But I got rid of it since on phone it moved the URL bar to the bottom and you have to select edit URL instead of just clicking it and I heard the company is gonna charge for a browser and I'd prefer to use a full foss browser. Some of the out of the box settings for librewolf and ironfox are a little OTT for the average user but after some tweaks they are fine. Most normies just use chrome or even the Google app on their phone they don't even know what a browser is I told my mate to use another browser to stop ads and have more privacy and he said he just likes Google so he thinks a browser is a search engine.

Just be glad normies are kinda healing. Before id watch normies i know use google chrome and see 75% of every website filled with ads. Such an eyesore even if its not my machine im looking at. Now that theyre using brave thats not the case, just a clean webpage with only the contents loaded and no ads bloating up the screen. Im happy for them

Not at all. PaleMoon doesn't even have pozz to begin with (biggest strength I'd say). Supermium is a 100% clean if you run it in portable mode with the --ungoogled-supermium switch (otherwise its more or less like regular chrome). On Android you get Privacy Browser which's a 100% pozz free and designed so from the ground up.

this is unironically because of izzat. If they're perceived as a "hard worker" then it's le heckin good or whatever even if it means they get less work done. Bonus: they only care about being perceived as one, so if they actually get NOTHING done but blab about it all day and send a hundred changes (that do nothing or actively break things) they're still a heckin hard working +100 izzat good boy.

Xiaomi build quality is absolute shit, I had two phones from them and in both cases the battery expanded the back panel glue didn't hold it for shit

got an s25 and never buying chinkshit again
>>
>>107852423
Guess the "bloatware" was literal there hohoho

Seems like Xiaomi was basically "passable" around the time I had one and has only gotten worse since.
My mom still has sa Xiaomi phone and they put a fucking shop into the UI, I think she also had some indian app that auto-installed itself and sent her notifications.
My phone was draining battery like crazy until I noticed that the Xiaomi gallery app was draining 50% of it just by endlessly running in the background, apparently when it was a bug that would make it get stuck in a loop when trying to read a corrupted file.

Now that I think about it I'm probably best off never buying Xiaomi again

What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.

Honestly it seems like a big nothingburger. Another useless item when you right click something. The fact that it is even hidden makes me think they are losing faith in it but doomers (Shills in disguise) are trying to boost the news of a feature that will flop as usual.

Why do they do it though? It makes them look like a desperate and failing company, and in exchange for what? Maybe they get some accidental clicks from shaking boomer hands to increase copilot KPI slightly for some middle manager's promotion chart. It's not a big deal on its own, but it's a sign of a sick company that will make bad decisions in everything.

Nowadays it's the same with Snapchat and Instagram, Facebook was the hot thing when I was still a middle schooler, they totally replaced it.
I'm into college now, I've entered the nerd space (educated people) and barely anyone uses Snapchat and Instagram. Everyone is on discord, we have a discord for the entire major and everything is organized for each subject for each year, important announcements are for everyone, you can just lurk no one will hold it against you.
First years still use Instagram though, but they fall off like flies because the major is tough as hell, proving that only dumbasses use Instagram or Snapchat.
