I love it when Matrix takes ~10 kb AVIF or WebP and adds 300 kb PNG preview to it when posting. 😅

Lenovo - Why do you aggressively push for Intel Arc driver update that breaks system and causes black screen? Are you #evil or just totally #incompetent? #lenovo #intel #drivers

Hey #Nebius & #Groq, as a software developer, I would love to see Minimax-M2.5 running in Finland. The potential inference speed would be a game-changer. Thanks! #AI #LLM #Developer #Finland #EU

4 EU governments have decided to switch to European AI.

They are supporting European technology, sovereignty, data security, and economic growth. Did you make the switch yet?

Google Antigravity - I set up it for a friend in frontend development. Since they’ve always worked the traditional way, their reaction was one of shock and awe. It’s absolutely awesome, yet terrifying at the same time. #GoogleAntigravity #AgenticAI #WebDev #Automation #Frontend #NoCode #AIagents

Test passed

Yes.

This resonates. Without AI, there are countless development tasks I would have never bothered to start.
