@maria_rcks when a model is at capacity (*cough *cough openai*) auto try again in like 5 minutes kinda like how u auto resume when we're out of usage

Why does every product niche have a community filled with the exact same type of people who are so insufferable, ie local model peeps, brave users, hermes, tauri, obsidian, and so much more

Ironically, the thing they are defending looks even worse cause of them/

@thegenioo @theo Jealousy, he’s loud, he’s often right (people hate that), they unemployed

@dominikkoch What do u like about it? I don’t even want to think about compacting. IMO it should be a hidden thing happening behind the scenes. It’s just another thing flooding the screen for no reason.

3 months ago, when compaction mattere… sure, but SOTA models compact great

Hi @daradoescode would love to see t3 codes to dedicated windows service integration so it can run in the background without the need for the desktop app (I think ur the windows guy)

@maria_rcks Now, multiple times I’ve set up a new machine
Just to find out it was defaulted to queue, and I check back 10minutes later to realize it’s still queued… (also why is my settings not
Persisted across devices… sometimes it is, sometimes it not$

It’s a LOT better than the GitHub app.

My only complaint is that view linked pr should always be an option in the pulls button. I want to look at it, not blindly commit and push. Sometimes it’s there sometimes it not

Or if I’m in a noproject, it won’t show the pr, despite their being a linked pr to the thread

[QarthO @quartzdevgg]

normies think this is because ai slop code, when its quite literally the opposite

I'm tired boss

@theo i got a feeling that newer fables will just be private tools used to distill newer opus for the public. the mythos class models have a lot of baggage w/ the "safeguards", and they'll probably have the same pitfalls with the delayed ZDR so they wont be profitable

[QarthO @quartzdevgg]

do i get a mac studio or the upcoming new framework desktop

[QarthO @quartzdevgg]

@zenorocha big!

[QarthO @quartzdevgg]

@ambreliberty do not do this!!! now is the worst time to do this with ai being some rampant.

You always want to be on the latest chromium version

@resend Does this mean you can stop charging us for more domains, and just charge us for the emails we send?

It’s crazy how there’s like 20 vc funded companies who’s entire business model is building a shitty Arc clone. None of them are close to Arc.

Like how did Josh/TBC fuck this up so hard. I genuinely want to be a fly on the wall to understand how they came to the decision a couple a years back, and somehow, despite all the backlash, have stuck with it all this time.

[QarthO @quartzdevgg]

Here's my honest review of @AsideAI , in short, its clearly trying to be an Arc successor, but its just not there yet. It feels more like a polished Chrome with the Arc flavor. Funnily it has the same UX pitfalls Dia has. I'd choose it over Dia because I don't trust TBC anymore. However Dia is winning in terms of a direct 1:1.

Heres a breakdown of my 1st impressions as a new user installing it
- requires an account to use (Arc also had this downside). I was able to signout and use local mode tho. onboarding needs a skip button to use local mode.
- can't import every profile... only lets me select one... why? spaces/profiles is one of ur big selling points.
- no option to skip the "choose your AI subscription" section.
- let me set up my password manager extension before doing any sign in/sign ups

Sidebar: apart from stock chrome/firefox, one of the worst sidebars. looks good, terrible to use.
- can't drag to pin/favorite
- no ctrl/cmd+z to undo actions
- can't turn off chat? like really... its just stuck there taking up the sidebar.. come on
- its a BIG swipe to change profiles, everytime im failling haveing to try 3x just to switch profiles
- new tab opens a new tab... i prefer the launcher/launchpad commandk menu

In terms of AI features, I can't comment on these. I don't use any of them actively.

In terms of visual design, this is the closest browser to Arc. They just massively lack the UX. Funny enough, this literally just feels like shittier Dia. That being said it's not run by Josh and TBC so I would heavily prefer this over Dia.

[Arthur Objartel @arthur_objartel]

.@browsercompany @joshm is sunsetting Arc and says Dia is the ideal replacement. I disagree. Arc is a labor of love and design craft, and I enjoy using it every day. Dia, on the other hand, lacks that design love, and I’m not sure why.

Here’s 6+ things where Arc is still better than Dia

[QarthO @quartzdevgg]

@arthur_objartel @browsercompany @joshm Not being able to pin tabs is so annoying. they have to be in a folder.

[QarthO @quartzdevgg]

Helium will be my next, and hopefully last browser. Already been using it on windows the last 6 months and love it. But for my daily driver on Mac I wish it had:
- profile/spaces swiping
- synced tabs, pinned, etc across windows (this is so infuriating, worst part is if u have multiple windows open, and u close the original one first all ur pinned tabs disappear forever)
- air traffic control

Helium is also lacking a lot in terms of look/design. But I’m at a point now where I just want function. Trying out all the slop browsers recently and yeah, Helium is at the top
