You are equating countries with corporations now?

How does that even remotely make sense?


If you work there, you are part of the problem, there is no excuse for that.

Nobody is forcing you to work there.


If they were a cleaner or some other position that people typically take up because they have no alternatives, then I'd understand and sympathize a bit, you usually don't have any choice and can't really help it, you need to survive somehow, that's OK.

But most of the people working in technology positions at Meta and Facebook are not in that sort of position, they're usually well paid already, and could easily change jobs if they had a tiny bit of spine and could sacrifice getting paid less. Internally they'll reason and justify why they can't just leave, but from the outside it's embarrassingly obvious they don't really care in the end.


Funny, I just signed up for Pro a couple hours ago, to check how Claude Code works using this plan, instead of using my API keys.

I got rate limited after about 30mins of coding and was thinking, who the hell i going to work like this?

So they really seem to be running into extreme capacity issued now.


Agree with you, but when was Siri ever “well-regarded”?

Its been trash since day 1.


Siri was the first of its kind on Day 1. Alexa wasn’t announced for another three years.

Actually i know an engineer at a startup that was hired to clean up the original slopcoded MVP. So there is also opportunity in this space.

learned a new word today: "slopcoded MVP", love it! Thanks.

In the tech world, security is mostly just a theater , it is used to push though unwanted and unpopular things, like access control, privacy invasion, etc...

All this signing business, leads to one party having the final say, and guess what, they are going to abuse that power...


Because some people realised that insurance is the ultimate form of security? Why prevent failure when the consequences of failure can simply be offloaded to others?

I think it's just like in software in general: most software is bad, but it doesn't mean that all software is bad and unnecessary.

Most security is done badly, but it doesn't mean that security is unnecessary.

But I agree: TooBigTech has TooMuchPower.

Passkeys are here to improve your login security! All you have to do is give complete control over your ability to log in to a service to one of three American big tech companies. Yay!


Or you spend 5 minutes reading about them and use a passkey you actually own?

Many times, people choose TooBigTech. People are generally waaaay too lazy to even consider spending some brain cycles on that.


Unless the service you are trying to log in to requires you to only use an approved authenticator, as is explicitly supported by the spec[1].

More examples here https://fy.blackhats.net.au/blog/2025-12-17-yep-passkeys-sti...


Right, that sucks. But the service could also only allow you to use the Google SSO, it's not really a problem coming from the passkeys...

Sacrifice principles for pragmatism and you lose both.


TanStack started out by providing a very good JS table library. Now they offer a Router, and some more libs. They are definitely an up and coming name in the JS space.


That's... not quite right.

[EDIT] I typed "Router" when I meant "Query".

TanStack Query is the relatively newer name for React Query -- one of the most popular JS libraries of all time.

TanStack Start is a recent metaframework (and the one w/ the brightest future, IMO), but Tanner and team have profoundly significant bona fides. IOW, the dev team is far from being the "new kids on the block".


Do you have a source for TanStack Router being a newer name for React Router? Doesn't seem like it when looking at the sites for both projects.

Are you thinking of the whole Remix/ReactRouter thing?


(facepalm)

Thank you, but no. I typed "Router" when I meant "Query". TanStack Query is the newer name for the library FKA react-query.

TanStack Router is an alternative to React Router.

TanStack Start is an alternative to Remix/react-router-7's framework mode.

The naming history and evolution of react-router and its relationship to Remix is a bit convoluted, but an unrelated tangent to the point I was making.


That's... not quite right :)

React Router, which belongs to Remix, which was acquired by Shopify, is here: https://github.com/remix-run/react-router

Tanstack Router is an entirely new router.


Thanks yes I know, I typed "Router" meaning "Query", noted in a peer comment. sigh.


Nah, they are the next toy for the magpie developers, now that Next.js is no longer cool.


The Kindle hardware is great, but the software and ecosystem are just crap, and Amazon is making it shittier every year.

I've now moved to an Android eReader (Boox Note 7, for example [1]).

I can just get the Ebook or PDF files and transfer them via Calibre, simple as that, and I can also download any Android app i want. There are tons of apps out there that support eInk screens.

How is the Boox Note 7 in regards to reading PDFs?


Its quite nice, there is a so called "article mode", where you can set a zoomed portion of the PDF, and configure how it "jumps" to the next page.

Lots of early internet users were also “gate-kept” in some weird AOL CD land.

Also, you dont need to consume the algo content. You can choose to disengage.
