The center left in Brazil did the same to silence the rise of the greens a decade ago and it was DISASTROUS for the country

In the end we got in a position where we were forced to choose between the center and the far right all the elections after that

Picard social tip: A Vulcan can laugh. A Klingon can soothe. A Ferengi can give. Your preconceptions are not facts.

Very nice read, but god, the experience using Medium is just awful, I had to create a login and weird tutorial popups that I couldn’t dismiss keep appearing all the time

I don’t get why people keep using that, even old school Blogspot had better UX

Why everyone saying he is forcing AI into people? I’ve seen multiple mentions where the use of gen ai is up to the artists and writers, not a top down thing

I know people just want to hate, and it’s ok, I also hate gen ai, but at least let’s have some more honest text interpretation?

So, it turns out, you can completely disable this by commenting out the last line of `node_modules/react-native/scripts/generate-codegen-artifacts.js`

And boom: now my native builds take a few seconds instead of a few minutes.

I wish RN devs were a bit more 'native' friendly

My builds on new arch were taking too long even when only made small changes to my native modules. The way Xcode works, only my module should be compiled and linked, but apparently, RN is needless regenerating a lot of new source files all the time, which is frankly quite annoying

Isn’t that wrong? You have to divide by device density multiplier

I don't know, feels like a monkey paw thing to me. Last year wished for a better debugger and I got it! But it came with JS profiler never working again (React Native - DevTools) has a different profiler that's kind of useless for me

Oh, then that’s what “souls like” game means!

yes, this is exactly what I've been doing in the last months, and fixed so many performance issues.

It's wild how I saw important people on the RN community saying the opposite

Inflation is a real pain, and I'll not downplay it like he is doing, but it baffles me how people seem to have lost the ability to cook

I come from a very poor family, and thanks to that, my favorite food nowadays cost less then 2 euros to make

(Rice + eggs + Chayote + maybe manioc)

Are we living in a golden age of stupidity? From brain-rotting videos to AI creep, every technological advance seems to make it harder to work, remember, think and function independently …

Actually AI makes real learning much more difficult, as the human brain needs friction in order to grasp concepts

Not sure if you are interested in learning something yourself, but in case you do, I recommend this wonderful article in the subject: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Locutus assimilation tip: Social media is the Borg. You have joined willingly. Resistance is futile.

“From skeptic to believer”

That sounds like a cult to me

why are klingons so offended by bad kerning

I'm also doing that a lot. I started to believe this "super productivity" that we force into our lives does much more damage to our wellbeing than we previously thought

Also, what are we saving all that time for? Endless scrolling on social media slop?

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

The Majority AI View - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Ah ok, good reasons I can see! I was asking because I was a bit annoyed about pdfium bundle size, but I guess there's no alternatives to that right

It would be nice if people started tagging AI content on Bluesky so I could easily block it.

Right now there's no way other then unfollowing the person

Sorry, but I don't understand the reasoning, as it still uses pdfiumandroid for the rendering, so what's the difference?

I'll never, ever, understand why people post important stuff on Medium

That thing is freaking inaccessible!! Did everyone already forgot about the concept of "open web"?

That’s a very good explainer, thank you. I’m not in that community and was super confused about the whole thing

Like we like to say in Brazil, Grande Dia!! (great day)

I'm still kind of mad it's not available in HBO Max Europe

I mean, we Brazilians knew for a long long time now that Dengue spreads in warm weather... so, this result is kind of obvious right?

(although the obvious may be harder to tell in this post truth world we live)

ok, I see your point now. But just out of curiosity, why migrate it to Swift?

If I was going to write a server, I would be tempted to use Swift because it's my favorite language, but I wonder why converting from Python

Sure, but you wouldn't write mobile code in Python to start with, so that doesn't matter much for me

I cannot do that with big chunks of code, because it will eventually use the wrong concepts for the different platform, but if I'm careful enough and apply it bit by bit it works quite well (2/2)
