The national broadcaster goes into a bit more details: https://www-dr-dk.translate.goog/nyheder/indland/moerklagt/c...

It seems pretty convincing. Greenland is such a small population it's hard to hide something like this.

even indie games are painstackingly hard to develop, don't make the mistake of associating indie with easy, rather harder i'd say if you go solo or with a few others in a very high risk job

I don't think the post you replied to says otherwise, but Unity meant there was now a path with professional grade tools without spending a fortune. It definitely did create a new wave of indie games, some of them amazing.

Yesterday Claude Code assured me the following:

• Good news! The code is compiling successfully (the errors shown are related to an existing macro issue, not our new code).

When infact, it managed to insert 10 compilation errors that were not at all related with any macros.

The other day I had Claude proudly proclaim it fixed the bug, by deleting log line that exposed the bug...

Why do people so desperately want to see AI fail?
lkramer · 8 days ago
I think people want to see the mindless application of crappy LLM chatbots and AI summaries everywhere fail. At least that's my position. I would also like the notion that "development can be sped up 6-700% by applying AI" would go away.

Ladybird looks promising, but I don't see any donation form for this, only sponsorships.

If that is the case, we need to come together and donate thousands to ladybird en masse.

It might take around ~30 years for adoption but it is a start.

There is a donate button in the top right of https://ladybird.org/

What is happening in Britain is people are being actually arrested for “offensive” speech, which is of course subjective, subject to abuse, and open to totalitarian oppression. This is why the First Amendment in the US constitution is so important
lkramer · 14 days ago
Sure, but so are people in the US, despite the first amendment.

So wait when do they get work done? Do they just work later into the night?

lkramer · 4 months ago
yes, shops are also open later.

Really? A nice rational genocide or two?

China is an expansionist dictatorship. It would be ridiculous to suggest it is more trustworthy than the US.

The US is actually acting rationally IMO. People just look at headlines and do not dig into the reasons. You might not agree with the reasoning, but it is not irrational. For example the tariffs clearly follow from arguments made by Trump's appointees (such as Bessent and Marin) even before the election, and definitely before being appointed.

China is definitely not a fun neighbour if you're The Philippines.

One of the big problem with the US suddenly becoming so adversarial (whether rationally so or not) is that the choice for Europe may be to choose between the lesser of 2 evils, which in Europe's eyes could very well end up being China. China at least tend to behave consistently and predictably over a long term. The US radically changing behaviour every 4 years, and now even multiple times within a 100 day span, is just really really difficult to deal with. Not to mention making direct threats to European countries and generally working to oppose European interests.
