For me I’ve never noticed these issues on my Pixel 9a, but I really only use it for basic stuff. Still, you are kinda right, I definitely feel like Android, even GrapheneOS, is super inefficient compared to my 8GB ThinkPad with my own Arch-based disto on it, the 8GB there definitely “feel like more” compared to my Pixel. Battery life is fantastic tho, I usually plug it in over night with 80% left, rarely 60% at most when I used it a bunch during the day.

I’ve seen that in a city I visited, three seperate shops with those and people were still there browsing

I mean I love that they are sticking it to Adobe but they are slop by nature. If it’s at least useful slop or if you should just use the actual open-source alternatives is debatable, I don’t have any talent with these programs anyway. I’d say learn the open-source alternatives but maybe try the artcraft stuff if you truly can’t do something in the open-source program, but that’s just my uneducated opinion.

Yeah no, even the 300-350€ (don’t remember it exactly anymore) I spent on my Pixel 9a were overpriced to me, I don’t even need half of the storage, RAM and CPU speed in here. We really need way less capable but equally as secure phones, who the fuck needs that much computing power to browse websites and write on Signal?

I’ve been absolutely shocked walking through city centers and seeing these fucking AI flyers everywhere. Boycot whoever uses this shit and pay your local artists and graphic designers.

We didn’t even read those, some other classes in our grade did, but our selection was absolutely horrible. I like reading, but I never actually finished the books in school since they were just horrendous.

I mean the infrastructure is there, but it’s never on time, sometimes just doesn’t drive at all, driving by car is usually cheaper and faster, the people are absolutely disgusting and so on. You are basically paying more just to have an unreliable and disgusting alternative. I’d love to use it more, but I don’t, I still just drive by car, it might as well not be there in the first place.

In Germany not a single thing. We call ourselves “land of poets and thinkers” yet the books I had to read during my time in school only made most people despise books in general. What a joke.

Yeah, webdev is one of those areas where it’s really not that deep and LLMs have pretty much figured that out by this point so the distance between local and frontier is basically non-existant. I mean ask Fable 5 or a model on my B70 to make a website and it’s pretty much going to look like the identical vibecoded slop site, that benchmark is old news. But to have it THIS close is honestly pretty funny, even in this benchmark I didn’t expect the difference to be a rounding error.

Which benchmarks? Are you sure you didn’t misread Qwen3.8-Max for Qwen3.8-27B? That one’s up there, but if a benchmark ever compares 27B to Fable then that benchmark is probably just trying to sell you their vibecoded harness or something lol

Edit: Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been especially impressed with Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on my PC and to say it’s barely better than Opus 4.6 is a huge achievement in my eyes. Opus 4.6 was the point where people finally felt like that AI actually spits out mostly useful stuff and having models that can be ran on a realistic PC finally catching up is fantastic, but it’s still far from the frontier stuff. No way in hell am I going to get anywhere with this for decompiling/reverse-engineering stuff unfortunately. I really like coding the important stuff by hand and having it spit out bash scripts in parallel or reviewing my code in the end for oversights, for that I really can’t complain anymore and like Opus 4.6 any model better than that is just luxury. Would I let it vibecode the whole thing then it would end up being unmaintainable slop, but as an actual tool, not a crutch, it’s fantastic. But yeah, Fable 5, not in a dream lol

My favorite kebab place burned down a few months ago, I’ve been going there ever since I can remember, even back in kindergarden with my parents.

Any moment, ANY MOMENT

Yeah, they would both be lying and admiting to vibecoding so idk how that would make it better

Nah, that’s exaggerated. I have a 32GB Intel Arc Pro B70 and I would say Qwen3.8-27B is barely behind; Qwen3.8-Flash-Next is barely ahead of Opus 4.6, neither of them come remotely close to Fable 5. Some of the Chinese multi-trillion parameter models do compete with the frontier models tho, but nothing you could even remotely hope to run on local hardware.

I feel like with Linux finally becoming not only close to as good but arguably better than Windows (I consider “as good as Windows” an insult at this point) switching to yet another OS entirely will only create more divide. Linux is going in a direction where some caution is definitely needed, but myself, I’ll stick to trying to make Linux better so more people will break free from these fucking corporations. I’ll definitely keep an eye on BSD tho, I can’t say I’m not interested.

I know, I only use open-source models ran locally anyway and didn’t have a subscribtion to an American one in over a year, but Claude Opus 5.idk arguably was what made these projects possible. Let me word my comment differently: So one of the only reasons to pay Anthropic instead of using open models is getting blocked, good move

So one of the only interesting use-cases is getting blocked, aight

Advance Wars 1 and 2, absolute bangers

Yeah, I noticed right away that it was ChatGPT instead of a shitty but authentic GIMP edit so I considered downvoting for half a second, but the message is so valid that I just upvoted. At least I HOPE that’s the reason why the people downvoted it, if anyone supports that guy, they should go to a mental hospital.

that was a rethorical question
