Wait what? Really? All caps is a bannable offense? That should be in all caps, pardon me, in the terms of use if that's the case. Even more so since there's no support at the highest price point.

Its a combination. All caps is used in prompts for extra insistence, and has been common in cases of prompt hijacking. OP was doing it in combination with attempting to direct claude a certain way, multiple times, which might have looked similar to attempting to bypass teh system prompt.

It really feels like a you problem if you're banning someone for writing prompts like my Aunt Gladys writes texts.

There's links on the homepage to the soundtrack and credits, the artist is called Synthenia.

I'm amazed at the amount of work and love that's in this game, that you can play for free. I hope it helps more devs get into the retro scene!

I would honestly have stayed in version 6 of Nova because of the as yet unrecreated magical feature of allowing unread count badges on the home screen for many popular apps, that are not tied to notifications, via TeslaUnread. I've been trying to reverse engineer it a bit to see if I can recreate the functionality somehow, but all I've managed to figure out is that the icons are really widgets that look like icons and run _something_.

Features like that one, and browser text reflow, are such must haves to me that we used to have a decade ago and lost along the way for no good reason, it's frustrating.

If an iPhone is going to be as bad as an Android like that then what's the point. The "premium" feeling is eroded like this.

Anyone makes a PR, there's a vote and highest voted one gets merged every week. It's marvelous.

The "and _algorithms_" part of it even sounds like a parody.

Win <= 10 had left side taskbars so that should actually be a plus. I didn't quickly update to Win 11 because of it being in the middle really, then because of the ads, then swore off it because of the AI stuff so in the end it kind of helped that they messed up the UI.

Same here, now running Fedora KDE but with an Nvidia card it is exceedingly buggy. Doing a single system update the normal way made the kernel version unbootable. I also had some (I suspect) OOM related full freezed that forced me to hard shut off the computer. The UX is really that good though when things work.

I love KDE Plasma but I gave up on it because Mint Cinnamon runs my RTX perfectly rock solid. I could not find a KDE distro that did not have some issue.

As nice as KDE Plasma is, nothing is as good as the RTX actually working perfectly. It is a dream.

That's how I feel about KDE on AMD or Intel graphics. It's just buttery smooth and problem-free.

What bugs me the most about nearly everyone selling AI products is that they apparently want or need to believe in the power of LLMs for everything, not just the product, and this means that they also generate the explanatory texts and descriptions and readmes and... it makes the product itself feel of a much worse quality.

I don't mind that you're selling an AI product if it's good but at least put some humanity on the marketing side.
