It's easy to take that stance in jest .. when it has no material impact on you. But if your life was uprooted by the decision of an executive because they made what was a "good faith" decision for the benefit of the shareholder, then I'd wager you may feel differently.

User's care about privacy when they understand the threat and impact. The issue is most user's don't understand this, especially when it comes to use of products like Meta where on the surface, everything appears harmless.

> Eventually the model providers will do it, and that's what we'll all use.

Haven't they already, to varying degrees?

For us, the reason is we're primarily a Salesforce company and rely on the Heroku Connect product to facilitate bidirectional syncing between Salesforce and PostgreSQL (which also requires Heroku PG).

One of the biggest benefits to this product -- aside from the syncing mechanism -- is a bypass of Salesforce's extremely limiting (and expensive) API limits.

Their recipe and cocktail repository is excellent. It's a large part while I'm a subscriber.

I don't have a fancy workflow per se, but I have started leaning into git workspaces more which has really been a boon with Elixir (especially in large projects where compile times can be in the many tens of seconds).

Opus 4.5 with Elixir has been remarkably good for me. I've been writing Elixir in production since ~2018 and it continues to amaze me at the quality of code it produces.

I've been tweaking my skills to avoid nested cases, better use of with/do to control flow, good contexts, etc.

The person that started Ubiquiti was an engineer at Apple working on the Airport, and left out of frustration.

China does not care about personal privacy, they only care about privacy beyond their political boundaries.

If you've never been to China, you need to look no further than the streets to understand this (cameras everywhere, social credit system, etc.)

This one I am not familiar with. What's the latest development here?

Does it matter when you have a Congress that does not care what he does?

For me, the editor is still the most important component of my tooling. The AI features are secondary to my needs/wants when it comes to an editor.

Zed is hitting all the checkboxes when it comes to performance and user experience (yeah, I care about that in my editor).

I'm not a hardcore user of AI, but I do make use of Zed's inline suggestions and occasional use of Opus 4.1 through my Zed subscription.

It's not perfect/ideal, but you can basically accomplish keyword filtering using a shortcut powered by a message automation. I've done something similar where during the political season I would have all incoming texts (from unknown numbers) run through an LLM to determine if it was a political message. If so, it'd get deleted immediately.

But that is unfortunately a nuclear option that should not need to be taken to perform such a thing. Like the op, I have no interest in Shorts, especially considering the type of content that seems to proliferate that format.

However, I feel like YouTube does a genuinely good job — at least for me personally — of curating my feed with videos I have genuine interest in; mostly being tech talks and home DIY.

I'd hate to lose the discoverability I currently have for the sake of having to disable a feature like Shorts.

This is available in iOS 26 to all applications; it's available directly to the user through shortcuts.

I'm currently on the beta, and I have a shortcut that pulls in various bits of context and feeds that directly to the on-device model.

That’s essentially what app intents are.

Perplexity is great. I’ve been a happy paying customer for a while.
