Saying something is a killer product because it is used by many people is a weak argument. MacDonalds is use by many. Funeral agencies. Microsoft Windows. They solve a need. The product isn’t necessarily good tho. ChatGPT is a good search tool with large flaws but more convenient than Google.

This is like arresting Al Capone for tax evasion. We need to plainly ban those in the EU at least. No sane society should accept camouflaged data harvesting and privacy evasion.

Saw your post on Reddit, didn't know it was you. :)
Good one. Also created mine recently'ish. Did use LiveView and MDex which is pretty cool! Even allows me to use Phoenix components in the markdown! :D

In Portugal it has meaning. It means a very specific type of diet (more or less grilled food with olive oil, fish based mostly! :D). But surely other countries in Europe will have different meanings as our food is pretty different. Dunno how it is interpreted in America.

I sweated a bit too, but then something re-wired on my brain and it suddenly got way easier. :D

130 hours right now, but I reckon I got 100% around the 100 hours mark.

All soundtracks for SuperGiant Games so far have been stellar, but this one in Hades 2 I think it takes it to another level.

I generally don't 100% achievements in games unless I REALLY like them. For Hades 2 I had to do it, such a good game. The music, the gameplay, the balance, the variety of builds, dialogs, artwork. The magnus opus of Supergiant Games (so far).

Agree. They should focus more on building ways to interface with AI than just shoehorn some AI crap feature into their product just because.

I thought about the same. 🤣
Zed is for sure banned in the UK now.

That's probably because of AI product compliance? But it is weird AF. 😁

This is super cool. I have been thinking for a while to create a game too, just to embed on my website with multiplayer also using Elixir (my site already uses Elixir and Phoenix). But I haven't found a game I would like to replicate that is easy enough and fun. Lumines is a good idea! Good job!

Flag icons in Phoenix · Nuno's Site Easily add country flag icons to your phoenix app using a Tailwind plugin.

I've written a small post about adding flag icons in Phoenix using the same technique that the Phoenix generators use to add the heroicons set.

They are probably telling the truth, since XBox is dead. Now it will be called Microsoft Gaming and those, well, those will have to use AI for everything.

I've been paying for 1Password for about 4 years now, I really like the apps the integrated SSH agent, but come on, this is a MASSIVE increase. For someone in Portugal I can't justify steep increase. Already cancelling my subscription and moving back to Bitwarden or Proton.

I've used them for about 2 years on a startup and they worked pretty reliably I must say. This was 3/4 years ago though.

If the price is good for last mile instead of Fiber to the home it could be a solution I guess. For instance where I live there are some cables on poles which are damn ugly, maybe this could be a solution to that.

Oh so the sync thing you pay them is just for convenience, got it! I might look into Obsidian again then if I migrate from iOS and MacOS. To be honest, been hating what they been doing to MacOS. A Framework laptop looks appetizing once I need to upgrade.

How do you sync? You just sync files to a cloud service? Can you edit on mobile/tablet too? Last time I looked into it, it costed like 4 dollars per month to have syncing across devices.

I use Bear for my long form writing and Personal Knowledge management. I thought about changing to Obsidian but the monthly cost is too high for me to justify.

You are doing this to be US-free in terms of services right?
I have this action point to do the same for some time now... but I haven't put the effort in yet. :/

I haven't done that but what I've done several years ago was uninstalling any social media apps. Reddit was the only one left and that was a problem too, but once they killed custom apps that was it.

I don't even use WhatsApp anymore since that is a Mark Cuckerberg app. People can always use SMS.

Great read. Totally aligned with the games (haven’t played Deadlock tho). Hades 2 is simply marvellous. I had my doubts how different it could be from the first one, it’s the same game, but so much more refined, I can’t stop smiling while playing with all the sweet details the game has. RIP Patrick.

Who asked for this? Now seriously, not even taking the AI hate train, just wonder who uses a TV and feels the need to generate slop on a big screen? Bizarre.
