You use it every day without realizing it, it’s been there for decades. The problem is not the technology but the people in control of it and their new bs hype bubble

The ultra wealthy

Banning computers as a whole, anywhere, is dumb. This way of thinking has similar shortcomings to the under-18 or under-16 social media bans. People eventually need to learn how to interact with computers, to be productive , social, access information, participate in democracy, etc We should instead focus on making social media and computing in general less exploitative and more democratic & open, not preventing children from having access to these things

If Gnome or KDE had gotten the money, important contributions would’ve been made to the Linux ecosystem, cause that’s what they do. Oligarchy Linux will at best contribute with nothing useful.

I think that’s an exact description of what’s happening here. Rich piece of shit starts an hobby and makes a shitty thing, gets an absurd amount of funding from his buddies, then makes the hobby worse for everyone else. Neat!

The new Qwen 3.8 and Gemma 4 models are honestly very good to the point I’ve stopped using proprietary models for most stuff, by running these on a Mac mini. No need for a data center with the energy consumption of Manhattan….

Have you used the app in question? There’s animated hi res backgrounds that have to be loaded for diff locations, a live map, tons of detailed widgets and animations… 300MB seems reasonable to me. You might not want any of these things on a weather app, hence there are many to choose from out there ;)

300mb is what apps on Android used to take up back when 4GB RAM was standard. Macs have shipped with 8GB on base model for many years. This is not an issue, sorry
