Oh my god I love this. I tell every one I load up how terrible they are and to give up now.

I think I’ve discouraged about 250 so far!!

What a wonderful project.

No, stop, you're misusing it. The purpose of this site is to build parasocial relationships with strangers online.

The danger with small streamers is you might accidentally develop a social relationship since they have nobody else to talk to!

FYI: muppetman’s profile says “don’t take me seriously”, so I think this is a joke?

While tone often portrays poorly over text, I think this is an example where the sarcasm is very overt. I don’t think anyone would think the comment is serious.

Stop calling Garbage Garbage! Just because it’s discarded waste doesn’t mean it meets the definition of garbage!

Same, I remember googling Deno and going "Oh this new thing looks neat" - and then I haven't heard/seen/read a thing about it until this post. But I keep hearing about Bun and of course nodejs.

Feel bad for them, they obviously just didn't capture a real userbase. I expect if yt-dlp hadn't started to require it they'd have just silently flamed out.

Probably because that’s not most people’s experience. Google is just pages of the same AI generated content. DDG, once good, seems even worse. Searx and the like are slow and results are mixed. Kagi, for me at least, seems to find the actual gems you’re looking for. It feels like Google used to feel back in 05.

That’s why people shill it.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's as good as peak google (agree on ~ when that was), which felt like magic. But it is, in my experience, noticeably better than current google.

Ahhh yup, wondered how long it'd take before this happened. Sorry to sound like THAT guy, but I'm glad I deleted my account ages ago. I liked BS and it seemed good but yea, here comes Twitter 3.0

The ignorance of this post to the rest of the world is amazing.

This is why I love Sublime Text. It's so fast, it works so well. It isn't trying to be AI, it isn't trying to evolve until it can read email or issue SSL certs via ACME. It's focused on one thing and it does it extremely, extremely well.

this is why i am still on vim

Ha yes, learning vim was one of the best things I ever did. I can SSH onto a Juniper router and fix up config using vi. I still try to instill in juniors these days "Learn vim!" but everyone just wants to use nano (which I understand but nano isn't preinstalled on many network devices)

> everyone just wants to use nano (which I understand

I do not understand.

I have a very capable colleague/friend who uses nano. Unix hacker type, so I think it is what he is used to from growing up. I still find it strange, but such is the nature of preference.

Nano not powerful, but it is friendly, it shows you its keybinds.

Vim is very powerful, but also very unfriendly.

The difference in effort required to pick up Nano vs Vim is HUGE

I feel like a heathen; I'm using Neovim.

I like neovim is the main way now, so I don't feel like a heathen.

I also felt a little guilty when making the switch! Totally irrational of course, but still there's something to be said for sticking to the the original.

If you don't use emacs, you are a noob to me...

I am still on "vi"

wow that's two people, including me!

(jokes aside, if I had a choice I'd use vim/neovim, but when I ssh into a remote system that has minimal installs, vi it is)

It's named vi because when it was made in ancient Rome there were only 6 users.

hey don't be so hard on yourself, everyone makes mistakes!

it's okay, you're still one of us

Yeah that. Same here.

I'm thinking of switching to iPhone after always having and Android. All these negative posts are really making me reconsider though.
