On your Sheets + Gemini integration point, I've genuinely tried to give the Gemini integration into Google Docs & Google Sheets a chance. It is so incompetent that it is fully useless to me. I have not gotten a single correct solution each time I tried to use it, even something I consider table stakes. I often write my work reports in Vim in Markdown format, but they need to go to the corporate Google space. No matter how hard I tried, no matter how many prompts I have, it was completely unable to manage the command to "convert the Markdown format markers into native Google Docs markers". And I want to note, this was 2 pages of extremely simple Markdown with no "advanced" patterns, like tables or quotes, I think all I used was heading-marks, bolding, italicizing, and code blocks. This is something I would expect even GPT 3.5 to succeed in, and even more so Luna, but somehow it destroyed the formatting throughout half the document. This leads me to believe that they apply the absolute cheapest model they have there, or they have the model a harness which can barely be considered working.
I found it absurd when I found out that they suddenly made this Gemini integration an additional paid plan recently, there's absolutely no way I can consider that in good faith.
sorry if this isn't it. there is a hidden global setting that defaults to off that lets docs play nice with markdown. it's in file > settings i think. super annoying even if this is no help
I know we're just talking about silly word definitions and etymology here, but just from my personal understanding, your site represents what I think neobrutalism "looks like" a lot better than the previous examples which are branded as neobrutalist. This is just my perspective of course.
Edit: I just saw another person say this, and it described the style of the sample sites so much better than "neobrutalism" that I just had to add this, these samples look so much more like Bauhaus!
I mean, it's true that these issues are used as right-wing fear fodder a lot, but parent commenter is talking about his country in particular, and there are numerous countries in which crime of that sort is extremely prevalent. It might not be just propaganda. The point is that with our safety we give up some of our freedom, and it's hard to find a balance. All the safety means none of the freedom.
Yeah in the end I probably agree on WebGPU, I haven't really seen a single use of it, except for running shader code examples in browser, which might as well be replaced by a looping video.
For WASM though, I do not agree at all! It's genuinely a great system for high performance browser code. So much stuff I use now had WASM as the backbone, and I even started applying it outside of the browser in some of my architecture. I wish we had way more enthusiasm behind things like WASM, and way less for something like WebUSB.
Honestly I wouldn't mind that, don't even really see a downside really, Hasbro can make one and the old members of the ZA/UM cultural association can make one, and I'll play whichever one is best! (Who knows, maybe Hasbro has something hidden deep inside it wants to utter out into the world!)
Absolutely agree here, and this is the main reason why I'm stuck on GNOME (despite not being perfectly happy with it), and why I find it interesting how many people on the internet and here especially love using KDE so much! Don't get me wrong, the KDE project is great, and the design language has notably improved over the recent years, but I just can't get myself to use it! The constant design inconsistencies genuinely bother me, and badly! I find myself struggling to concentrate on work because I just end up staring at some uncentered object, or some misaligning lines, and I gave the whole environment multiple tries over the years. GNOME, despite it's inconfigurability and crazed decision making, genuinely figured out a strong design language across the board of all software under the project, and they enforce it heavily. I do wish I could enjoy using KDE one day though, maybe I should give it another try.
No I have not heard of it, and it's genuinely baffling! Which consortium thought this up? I don't see one sensible reason to do this apart from just random tinkering or malicious purposes.
If OP means Ethernet over HDMI it’s in the spec but as far as I’m aware has not been implemented in any mainstream chipsets anything actually uses. It’s one of those theoretical things that is somewhat surprising didn’t happen.
Overall it’s not a bad idea if devices need network connectivity. Have one central “box” get an Ethernet drop and it acts as a switch for your tv/xbox/playstation/media player/etc. The spec was made back when A/V receivers were more popular than they are now. It would cut down on a cable per device.
If OP means an exploit/hack then that’s a bit different.
Thank you so much for this link, this is extremely interesting and it really makes me wonder, consciously, I have never read this construction online before, but is this because I actually haven't seen it, or did I subconsciously write it off as an abbreviation or a typo. Maybe there is some analysis of how this construction gets used online, too, which might reveal some linguistic patterns of internet communities.
Agh that's one of my biggest Linux regrets! Logic Pro is probably my favorite DAW, it feels so smooth to use, and that's likely connected to me using GarageBand extensively when I was a child. (I still remember "composing" multiple memorial songs in honor of Steve Jobs, as weird as that sounds!)
The strategy Apple has figured out with GarageBand pre-installed (or at least very low friction to install) seems really really smart in hindsight, give complete beginners a highly simplified but functional version of your professional utility, and provide an on-ramp to your professional programs. I imagine if Microsoft had some professional version of Windows Movie Maker it would've taken over a big chunk of the video editing market via the same method.
Anyway, regarding Linux DAWs, I am trying to get used to Ableton in Wine, but it's just not the same, and making it work in Wine is troublesome enough that I end up giving up before finishing anything of interest. Is there any DAW that feels like it actually belongs on Linux and doesn't either feel like you're maintaining a package by yourself, or has an awfully bad UI/UX like all FOSS DAWs I tried so far? I think in 2026 there's really a good opportunity here, with user interest genuinely rising for Linux on desktop.
Bitwig natively supports Linux. I bought a license a while ago and while the cost is steep, I don't regret it at all.
The downsides are going to be the bland cross-platform UI and the general lack of plugin support on Linux. But the upside is native PipeWire support for application-specific channel audio and complex output routing options. The pack-in plugins are pretty good too, The Grid can replace a lot of your subtractive synths: https://www.bitwig.com/the-grid/
+1 for Bitwig - written by a bunch of former Ableton devs and its external plugin/module sandbox means that a badly behaving VST won't take down the entire DAW.
That's exactly what parent post is saying I believe, the conversion rate is huge, clearly, but it can't be sustainable. The point is, that even a small fraction of advertising will be moved over to this cold-DM strategy, the funnel will collapse to the usual rates as soon as people catch on, same as every other "trick". Now, whether there's enough time between today and that hypothetical point in the future to extract profit using it, that's the real question here. I fathom there is, at least for someone, until trust is thoroughly destroyed. Repeat ad nauseum as trust moves and gets expended over and over, until possibly when no one trusts anything on the internet (or really any other theoretical platform with cheap global reach) ever again.
I also wanted to point out, the big 10% rate they're seeing is not for actual conversions, but replies, which are likely correlated, but a reply does not a conversion make. The real rate is presumably lower.
