At that point, isn’t it just a cake wrapped in paper? I don’t think anyone would look at a salad bowl and think, “that is a cup.”

Torvalds should be nowhere near that man.

This is really unsettling. Like seeing Tesla and Edison.

Warpinator is meant only to send/receive files and folders, and requires a supported device on both sides.

QuickDAV lets you send/receive/manage files (meaning you can copy and move files on the host from the client). It doesn’t require a supported device in both sides, since it works with either a WebDAV client or a browser. So as long as one device can run QuickDAV, and the other has at least a browser, it’ll work. (QuickDAV works with a Sega Dreamcast!)

Warpinator is incredibly easy to use. Open the app on both machines, select the other machine, select the file/folder, send.

QuickDAV is a bit harder. Open the app on one of the machines, then type the information from the app into the client/browser on the other machine. Then you can download/upload/manage.

It also has an older brother if you need a permanent WebDAV server:

This is not a very popular app, but I use it all the time. Full disclosure, this is my own app, but it’s free and open source.

It’s for transferring and managing files and folders over your local network. I use it whenever I need to just ad-hoc move files between things.

Repository: your code.

Fork: my code.

Pull request: u want my code?

This physically hurts me.

The biggest thing keeping me from daily driving a Linux phone is the camera. I want a good camera, not an afterthought. I can only guess from the renderings, but this thing looks like the camera was an afterthought.

Here is all the information I could find from their website:

Main: 32 Mpx

Front: 13 Mpx

We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:

Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

FUCKBOI

Yeah, that’s probably true. Remember how all the execs decided to replace cashiers with robots, then the stores started losing money because a. it made stealing a lot easier and b. people would avoid stores that only had self-checkout robots and never had anyone to help you because a robot doesn’t know where the flour is. Now the self checkouts are being decommissioned and we’re going back to regular human cashiers. It turns out cashiers do more than just scan barcodes. But, upper management didn’t get to where they are by being smart.

I’ve been a professional software developer for over two decades. There is zero chance my job will get taken by an AI any time soon. Anyone who thinks my job is to write code doesn’t understand my job. That’s like saying a bus driver’s job is to turn a steering wheel.

My job is to turn vague ideas and nondescript feelings into APIs and (sometimes) UIs, then turn those into specs, then split those into tasks, then sometimes I’ll write the code for them and sometimes someone else does. About 90% of my time is turning ideas into plans, and about 10% of my time is turning those plans into code.

When I was young and was a junior engineer, my job was more to receive the specs from the senior engineers and turn that into code, but even then, I was still designing my own stuff. Maybe more like 40/60 time instead of 90/10.

Now that I’m a grizzled old man forged in the fires of task management software, I’m doing almost all of the design work myself. I manage a project that has about 250,000 lines of code. An AI isn’t going to be able to build new features into that, let alone decide which features to build in the first place.

I mean it’s like maybe a dollar or two for the labor costs, so that’s understandable. I’d still prefer just a blank SSD anyway.

This is awesome and I love it. Maybe they could even take a few more dollars off by not having any OS installed (bypassing the labor costs of imaging an SSD). I’ll be installing my own copy anyway, so I’m fine with a blank SSD.
