who said anything about movies? the conversation is about misinformative content, which is typically very low-effort

VS Code, the aforementioned very performant Electron-based IDE, would like to differ

> With Android 16, you can now activate Advanced Protection, Google’s strongest mobile device protection. It enables an array of robust device security features that protect you from online attacks, harmful apps, unsafe websites, scam calls and more. blah blah

let me guess: Advanced Protection will continue to gain features that restrict the freedom of users in the name of security and some time from now it will be mandatorily enabled for everyone. classic google!

49 em-dashes, 59 commas. that's a crazy ratio

what a beautiful website

requiring a user to own a PC in order to sideload apps (with adb) would, in fact, count as blocking sideloading, albeit partially. so i don't think that's the right limit

if someone is unwilling to pay for access to an entire collection of articles, i'd find it very unlikely that they pay for a single article. unless it's an outrageously low price like 10 cents or something

or you can just google it? it's not like the source code is exclusively held by 404media and you must pay them to view it, or something. would you have the same opinion if e.g. the article was the same but just didn't link to the repo?

you missed the point. password managers are one of the many use cases for this feature; that they just so happen to be mostly implemented as extensions does not mean that the feature is only useful for extensions

how is the software being paywalled here?

do you have some sort of ethical opposition to unicode?

Typst!

they were probably mentioning that, with pandoc, you can convert between HTML and PDF for any of these tools anyway

this is the third slop machine I see today, inconspicuously hiding among genuine comments. mods please do something about this <3

yet another slop machine

i really don't understand. what's the point of having an LLM comment on random HN posts? like, i get doing that somewhere like reddit because commenting brings karma and legitimacy to an account, which can later be used for astroturfing, or sold. but here? you're just polluting interesting conversations with polite and wholly uninteresting slop

probably not, there's a few comma splices in there

yep, as a user of Modern for HN i always wondered why they decided to implement it like this; it's not like it adds any crazy features (it's mostly aesthetic). as a result i'm unable to use other great extensions like this one along with it :(

Pieces is (correction: used to be, prior to the AI slopification) an app for storing code snippets. so i think you can imagine the general idea of, e.g., "cool API usage example from a YouTube video, let me screenshot it!"

beautiful domain name

what's with all the bots in the comments?

this stops applying when your cute little app starts storing people's passports

yeah, doing this manual copy-paste process every time you change something would count as cruel and unusual punishment

no, what the author claims is that jq should've been designed as a regular python library, using python syntax, rather than as a bespoke DSL (that happens to have parser bindings for python)

like what, for example?

by the way, you can indeed access your personal context with Playwright. just `launchPersistentContext()` and set the userDataDir to that of your existing Chrome install:

why are you offended on behalf of this person? the hindsight that they're simply an English learner obviously makes me feel bad for asking the question and i completely understand the use case, but i don't think it was unreasonable to think that someone who speaks entirely in ChatGPT paragraphs might be a bot, spammer, or the like—particularly because, in a botnet fashion, the original reply was to a comment that also seemed to be LLM-authored
