..."just"?

Did they forget it's proprietary, and from the same person that made OpenFeint, which also had a privacy lawsuit?


Hype-based ones like what's described in the original blog post are a nightmare. And I don't even need to pull the privacy card; the UX is already daunting enough.

A good benchmark I have is my wife, who didn't grow messing around with computers and a tinkerer's mindset: if she's taking more than a couple of tries or days to tinker and start living with something new, I need either to prep a better backup plan, or to cut it off. Very specialized stuff (like light bulb colors) are still too expensive to have more manual-like controls, but almost everything toggleable should have something one can press.


I mean, at least OpenClaw is funny in the sense that a D port could finish the roundabout by calling itself "OpenClawD"...

Now they need a rewrite in D.

So it can be... _OpenClawD_.


I kept forgetting Narrator is a Windows program, and the post read like the author was referring to the "Narrator voice in their head" while testing the UIs.

It made the post more amusing, actually. I sighed when I saw "Windows Narrator" suddenly.


I can't read "Ponzi scheme" without thinking "Bonzi Buddy scheme". Y'all should just change the term already.


Objectively speaking, the best status code.


My bet is on hired thugs by Hachette.


Where's the real inspiration for Asahi, Fandaniel in FFXIV?


> Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.


Won't oh someone think of the enterprise!
