GlacierFox··on Garry Tan, the CEO of YC, accused me of unethical reporting

This Tan guy is a real douche and in full support of the author but...

"Usually it's the latter, because, who wouldn't want the needle to move even a little bit in the right direction?"

Which direction? The one you think is right or the other one, other people think is right?

GlacierFox··on Obsidian plugin was abused to deploy a remote access trojan

"Oh, please, say you want to keep it closed source because you're afraid you'll lose money and control."

That's not good enough for open source zealots. That's when you end up being the headliner in an endless flood of blog posts and detailing comments telling everyone you're a 'proprietary evil man'. It's open source or nothing. And how dare you make money.

GlacierFox··on EU Parliamentary Research Service calls VPNs "a loophole that needs closing"

Where is the cushy insulated bubble you're living? Can I join?

GlacierFox··on Instagram Encrypted Messaging Ends on Friday, May 8

What do you mean? It's a depressing thought people only care about things for financial incentive.

GlacierFox··on HashiCorp co-founder says GitHub 'no longer a place for serious work'

thanks for that correction. I had early 2000's novel transportation on the mind.

GlacierFox··on HashiCorp co-founder says GitHub 'no longer a place for serious work'

"Hashimoto’s comments sound disturbed and I hope he finds some peace..."

You don't often see the completely unhinged ad hominem 'faux mental health concern' segway here on Hacker News to try and paint someone as 'disturbed'. Thought that was mainly a Reddit thing people do.

GlacierFox··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price

What's going on here? You're responding like an unhinged AI.

GlacierFox··on At long last, InfoWars is ours

Yea, that's the vibe I'm getting from it. Suppose you have to kiss your own ass if no one else is...

GlacierFox··on The Australian government has announced gambling advertising reforms

This is all I see on ad supporteed TV at night here in the UK. And half the time during the day. It's a serious problem coupled with, I assume, serious lobbyists here in the UK.

GlacierFox··on The road to electric in charts and data

"An ice car of the same price would have more to go wrong and I'd be lucky to get 2 years driving from it. We are getting to the usable 2nd hand market already, and it is only going to get better."

Stop extremely, wildly exaggerating.

GlacierFox··on The road to electric in charts and data

Excuse me? Lying about what you moron? Try not to be a electro-zealot and communicate normally.

GlacierFox··on Live: Artemis II Launch Day Updates

Why are you homeless?

GlacierFox··on Britain today generating 90%+ of electricity from renewables

Because? I just said. I'd rather _China_ don't own 1 billion pounds of our country's energy infrastructure. Are you being coy or are you seriously that naive? Utterly perplexed you need more of an explanation.

And all those things you mentioned. I'd rather they were all home-grown but I can live with the French having a chunk of our Nuclear - because I like the French.

GlacierFox··on The road to electric in charts and data

How are EV's going to get to econobox/shitbox levels when the batteries go bad in less than half the time you mentioned and it costs ~£5000 for a new one?

GlacierFox··on Britain today generating 90%+ of electricity from renewables

I don't want a Chinese company to own 1 billion pounds of energy infrastructure in Scotland.

GlacierFox··on Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act

Clearly the other commenters haven't picked up on your blatant sarcasm for some reason.

GlacierFox··on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Defends Pentagon Work to Staff

A study set out to investigate why the stupids lack empathy? Where did the premise for this bullshit come from? Haha

GlacierFox··on Wired headphone sales are exploding

When I'm watching movies or playing games, I find the lag jarring so plug in my wired ones every time.

GlacierFox··on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Defends Pentagon Work to Staff

"Generally, I think that most people believe that the more intelligent you are, the more empathetic you are..."

Okay, you might need to re-evaluate the life lessons you seem to have selectively taught yourself. This is base line culture war 'You must be mentally deficient if you don't align with what I deem to be empathetic right now or I don't think you're nice enough' type stuff.

High school type shit.

GlacierFox··on Show HN: A real-time strategy game that AI agents can play

"I've liked all the projects that put LLMs into game environments."

I haven't.

GlacierFox··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%

Video editors using video models can replace entire studio production departments. Writer-directors who know how to direct are essentially now Hollywood studios in their own right. I know a lot about this in particular because I've been making films as a hobby for 15+ years and work with a lot of industry professionals.

This is soul destroying. Literally made my day worse thinking about this.

GlacierFox··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere

Like the ones we have in the UK? I can't even look at the craft beer Sub-Reddit anymore without handing over my ID.

GlacierFox··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me – more things have happened

For some people perhaps. For me personally, I find some sites purposefully interject their 'agenda', either left or right into their journalism to the detriment of the piece. You're not going to a get a truely subjective view on things anywhere but some places are skewed to the point that you can't tell if vital information is being witheld or under reported.

GlacierFox··on Monosketch

Why have you sent me the licence page for Monosketch? I'm commenting on comment about Monodraw...

GlacierFox··on Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace

wtf I had no idea IBM was that old.

GlacierFox··on Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace

"It ain't so black-and-white" - uses the word Nazi to describe the entirety of the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency.

GlacierFox··on Monosketch

Absolutely we should. But this one isn't FOSS.

GlacierFox··on Show HN: Voiden – an offline, Git-native API tool built around Markdown

*before it was open sourced.

GlacierFox··on Show HN: Voiden – an offline, Git-native API tool built around Markdown

That why I love the git-backed notebook format. You can add clarity and explain what it's doing and how it translates into code.

GlacierFox··on TikTok settles just before social media addiction trial to begin

"Again, I get the danger here..."

Haha, wtf. You don't.
