birksherty··on F-Droid 2.0
Only because devs and designers are making things so unrecognisable that people have to do that, or try to tap to see. Now those developers and designers think it is working. It's the other way what you said.

Many people I met everyday have to be given tutorials where to click in modern apps. I guess all these devs live in a bubble with other devs and make such comments.

Let's make everything a guess work and over many years forced people to learn to tap everywhere to do everything. Good game.

What are these people talking so much about another app. Are all these bots here now?
birksherty··on F-Droid 2.0
Hacker news people are unbearable. This is some next level nitpick.
birksherty··on We built our house for LAN parties (2024)
Yes, this line made me angry. Privileged people from first world countries like these will increase their products prices for growth & more profit saying it's very cheap anyways.

Meanwhile common people in other countries can't even think about buying a proper gaming PC now. I bought a pre owned gpu, it stopped working after 5 months and I lost my savings.

birksherty··on OpenShot 4.0 – Open-source video editor
If it's lossless, it may change the cut position to enable lossless. If you want cut at an exact place, then all apps need to re-encode which will never be lossless.

For your particular requirement, you can't get lossless quality all the time by any software.

birksherty··on Illinois just told every operating system to start reporting your kid's age
Yes. Seems like accounts are made by fb/meta to support them in hn.
birksherty··on Illinois just told every operating system to start reporting your kid's age
Meh. It's a trick by facebook and others to harvest data and blame people later saying people volunteered the data.

Feels like hn is filled with these proxy accounts to support fb, google.

birksherty··on I'm 38 and I Can't Support Myself Anymore
3rd world sweatshop workers who are exploited by filthy rich.
birksherty··on I'm 38 and I Can't Support Myself Anymore
Meh. Those are just Making meaningless things that tracks users, hogs computer resourses, showing nonsense social media posts, brainrot contents, changing things constantly to put in their resume at the expense of users. Would prefer if these people did not exists in first place.
birksherty··on Android may soon restrict on-device ADB
Your site is non trivial.
birksherty··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
Nope. It's not "attacking own user base". These comments are ridiculous now. It's safeguarding a open project by removing scammers and abusers that exploit it. Scammer should host their own or use github.
birksherty··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
Too many scammers in crypto. It's a good decision. Cryptos and scammers can host their own.
birksherty··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
Are these comments written buy bots? It's the mainstream ones that have been screwing people without any recovery options, there were many horrifying top posts in hn itself in last few years.
birksherty··on A graph that should be front-page news
Most crap thing here is this species.
birksherty··on A graph that should be front-page news
It's humans who are doing this to themself and every other species on earth. So it's true.
birksherty··on I found 10k GitHub repositories distributing Trojan malware
"Trust me bro" is what people say about open source everywhere when it's not true.
birksherty··on I found 10k GitHub repositories distributing Trojan malware
> "it is impossible to hide malware in open-source software"

No nobody said "exactly that". But many times I've seen people claiming to trust open source as it is safer and people can check and build themselves. Seen it too many times. But reality is different than what is claimed.

birksherty··on Artemis II safely splashes down
Nope. Not from usa. I was born in 80s and would like to stay before 2000.
birksherty··on Teaching my neighbor to keep the volume down
Maybe but this is not what the issue was here.

Playing loud music, tv is not acceptable. Or smoking outside that impacts others.

Is your want to do that, live alone in a forest.

birksherty··on Public Sans – A strong, neutral typeface
Then tell me where to download that ss02 and install on PC for docx file and set default in browser?
birksherty··on We invited a man into our home at Christmas and he stayed with us for 45 years
Americas do it themselves. Imagine Americans (and they don't live in Asia, so have no right) saying Iranian Iraqi Saudis are not Asians.
birksherty··on TikTok Deal Is the Shittiest Possible Outcome, Making Everything Worse
You're being partly branwashed by american rich media. It's not about disliking capitalism. It's crony billionaires running the country and destroying it.

China has pulled many poor people or of poverty. Generations. You don't see this in media. You're comment is just misinformed and wrong.

birksherty··on Modern cars are spying on you. Here's what you can do about it
Nonsense. People are still driving cars without TPMS, they can feel the difference while driving and do tire pressure checkups regular intervals depending on run. No issue.
birksherty··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
A video shows difference between Bazzite, Nobara and CachyOS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqIjUddUSo0

Why others are better than Bazzite if it's made for gaming?

birksherty··on Be Like Clippy
But you will associate maskot or picture of any movement to annoying people when more people used it.
birksherty··on Be Like Clippy
You would do this for any profile picture that everyone will use. People here just don't like any movement as they are supporter of corporate. They are either multi-millionaires or temporary embarrassed millionaires. They will make every movement including unions negative.
birksherty··on Molly: An Improved Signal App
Then signal must be very insecure, poorly coded app in first place, that needs to updated every or every other day. They also don't give any explanation of what that updates are.
birksherty··on China has added forest the size of Texas since 1990
Meh! Practical result matters not papers. Everything done in paper. What I've seen in India is trees are planted with publicity, photos, but are not take care of and dies, another program starts and plants thousands of trees, dies within a year, circle goes round. Otherhand seeing many hills destroyed for construction needs.

The number of planted tree grows but benefit not seen, except for the group doing it. People are too into feelings, by seeing the headlines they need to feel good that's why so much publicity is needed, so many banners everywhere, ads in news-paper spending billions by gov.
