The issue is that you can't really "beat" China. Their models are free to self host and use, they don't play by the rules of US LLM companies.

Sure it's going to be the same for personal use, to most people chatGPT or DeepSeek are websites.

But to enterprise it will be a massive difference in cost, and AI can't even begin to dream about profitability without enterprise

I appreciate it, and tbh I get you

MacOS doesn't really lock you at all though, and you're free to dev for pretty much any software there, iOS or not

My issue with UE5 is that it runs like shit, which DF tends to agree with, but it also looks like trash. Temporal effect are all over the place and make the image look like a muddy, ghosting mess. It only ever looks good on static screenshots

Bruh I toggled off literally all existing and future AI features with a single toggle on FF, they still need to be opted out one by one on Brave 😭

ngl I did make the jump to liquid glass on Macos, but for iOs I started on liquid glass (and quickly came back to Android once I realised I could not stand youtube without adblock and sponsorblock), so I definitely did not miss features and did like the looks of the UI

Oh yeah I'm aware that some professionals are essentially locked to a single platform (same goes with accounting and Excel), I can only hope that the industries this affects start taking Linux more seriously (or Mac, but tbh once you're running on Mac it's less of a leap to work on Linux)

Brave browser is poor man's attempt at firefox, motivated by homophobia (literally)

Privacy badger, it's basically the good ghostery made by the EFF, it just doesn't have any marketing budget lol

Idk I've really liked it. Accessibility was an issue in the demos, it's not anymore; the changes are purely aesthetic and tbf it does look nice

When I started at my last job, I asked for a mac; I worked on Linux, Windows (wsl), and wanted a change. Most of my collegues (in the dev team) initially asked for a windows PC, but literally everyone ended up on Mac.

Windows is only usable when the WSL is set up and then you basically work exclusively on that VM lol, I literally cannot understand how anyone puts up with this OS. Any other OS is excellent just by comparison.
