@SoTFest @extremeconsoles "YoU uSeD aI"

The "AI" people are bandwagoning on here is, wait for it... refraction.

To be so ill informed and locked in on killing a company that you have either never seen something reflect and refract through clear plastic, or willfully ignore it, is absolutely beyond me.

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@SoTFest @extremeconsoles When you take CLEAR PLASTIC, bent at an angle, with something inside of it, and then photograph that plastic from an angle... there is internal reflection.

Have any of you idiots ever seen WATER? Is every water droplet on earth AI-generated as well?

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@FameClock @Yetee_ @grok And all of those services have laws dictating their longevity and ownership rights. When you own a domain, you're paying a VERY trusted registrar for that.

You could shut down your vibe-coded startup tomorrow and none of the buyers would have anything to show for it.

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@FameClock @Yetee_ @grok You seem to be under the delusion that people are calling this stupid because they don't understand.

We understand. It's just stupid.

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@FameClock @Yetee_ @grok Sorry, you're entirely wrong, Yetee! You need a DB AND a shitty frontend where people can show ads based on that DB.

@Auph @MelansonIndus @github It's okay, buddy! I'd be pretty filled with mighty rage as well if I were launching on a dead-in-the-water AI slop platform.

HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@christian_t79 @github THIS. "We have to charge more for this feature that no one asked for, no one cares about, and is driving our user base away. Wait... why did you cancel?"

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@MattBDev @github @JamesMontemagno Cancel and go for Windsurf - that's what I did. I've noticed a CONSIDERABLE increase in quality, I'm doing heavy SaaS coding for an AI startup + my own game dev work - no limits hit in the past 10 very intensive days.

I'd have been at 80% of my Github Copilot Pro+ by this point.

@github @acolombiadev Reckon you guys will rugpull this in a couple months as well?

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

I grabbed my Github Copilot token usage using an extension. I spent $20 more on Copilot than Anthropic API.

MS: "Pay us 7.5x."
Us: "No, older model is fine"
MS: "We've removed it. If you cancel you can't come back. 7.5x rate is 'promotional' until April 30th."

#copilot #github

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

BEWARE @Microsoft / @github cut Opus 4.6 from Copilot because people refused to pay 7.5x for 4.7. Simple as that - don't buy into their "We want your usage limits to go further" bullshit.

If your answer is "I'll use ChatGPT 5.4 over 5.5 at 7.5x" they will do it again. Don't pay.

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@msdev @code @msdev I'm MORBIDLY curious to see how you answer this?

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@msdev @code You posted this, saw people saying "We won't pay 7.5x for this, just gonna use Opus 4.6" and promptly REMOVED Opus 4.6. You did this under the guise of "we love our people and want to make their usage limits go further." I BEG OF YOU explain how 7.5x usage rates achieve that?

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@shogozyt We really need to find a @YouTube alternative for creators. It's LONG past "Give them a chance to fix this." They're too big to fail, and they do not give a fuck how bad AI moderation is, because it saves a few pennies.

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@Microsoft Not a single person alive has asked you for this. Outside of the bubble of your leadership sucking each others dicks and saying this is a great feature, everyone fucking DESPISES you hiding AI functionality on their machines.

Fuck off,
Everyone

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@Nintendork9 Warblade or one of the pre-remaster Galaxion clones?

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@currys My favourite workout must clearly be running after your support staff to fulfill an order and being repeatedly told "just wait 48 hours" until the problem goes away on its own, I guess.

Before you tell me to reach out, you already did, and you don't respond there either.

[AlmostPG @almost_pg]

@CarlHayes2 @FootySmith252 @BasilTheGreat @grok And how will they gauge whether or not you watch BBC content on YouTube? There are two options:

1. YouTube will automatically make this data available to them remotely (doubtful, would be a bad look for Google)

2. They will demand access to internet history.

Both oversteps.
