cantalopes··on The DMCA Was Built to Stop DVD Piracy. Google Wants to Use It Against Scrapers
The whole dmca that bans user from circumventing enceyption shouldn't even exist and it's a great example of lobbying going horribly wrong and media companies having too much money
cantalopes··on Lawmakers Want DoD Investigated for Biblical 'Armageddon' Claims
What is the saddest thing is that the elections are so far away to remove this dangerous entity from leading america. A democracy turned into an extremist religious abusing populist threat to the whole world. It is on par with russia with its dangerous leadership now

cantalopes··on Smallest transformer that can add two 10-digit numbers
Interesting, is this just a fun competition or would this also have some practical applications i wonder?
cantalopes··on Leaving Google has actively improved my life
I stopped using google for search too, but saying that ducksuckgo or brave is better at search is not true in my ipinion. Sure, the ai summary sucks and you will gwt spobsored results at top, but google is pretty damn good at searching. No other search engine (besides paid kagi) gave me as good results

"if I wanna transfer money is much more convenient work big display, proper keyboard and mouse than from phone"

cantalopes··on Show HN: Wildex – Pokémon Go for real wildlife
Cornell'd Merlin Bird ID and eBird are real life pokemon go!
cantalopes··on I’m joining OpenAI
I was actually surprised to find a lot of people outside of my bubbles with this sentiment, from regular people from both of political spectrums to companies switching their llm provider (not us based)
cantalopes··on I’m joining OpenAI
Isn't openai getting tanked because of its support of trump and ice?
cantalopes··on Anthropic raises $30B in Series G funding at $380B post-money valuation
Have you ever used anything that is on google cloud console? Or tried not to get randomly ratelimited with a single request to a vertex llm model? They are shooting themselves in the foot for solid 20 years, any of these players can compete with google in this frontier
cantalopes··on Rari – Rust-powered React framework
I hear you my brother. Days i had to write react were the worst i had to endure
cantalopes··on Apple's latest attempt to launch the new Siri runs into snags
Not sure whether it's a language/pronounciation issue but for 15 years since siri was released i have not seen a single person using it successfully without having to yell at it for not waking up or not understanding the request correctly
cantalopes··on End of an era for me: no more self-hosted git
Well it's a race, just like security. And as long as anubis is in the front, all looks bright
cantalopes··on Semaglutide improves knee osteoarthritis independant of weight loss
I hope this goes through clinical trials before my joints degrade completely
cantalopes··on LiftKit – UI where "everything derives from the golden ratio"
Doesn't look bad but it's not semantic and using utility classes like tailwind

cantalopes··on OpenClaw is changing my life
Yeeeah nah
cantalopes··on Show HN: I created a Mars colony RPG based on Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars books
It's based on it, it's not an adaptation.

Also, this would very well fit within fair use

cantalopes··on Claude Opus 4.6 extra usage promo
I spend not even 20 monthly when using gemini cli.

Claude's subscription model is forcing you to space out equal sessions unnaturally during day - but you don't work like that. You work N hours of day and then go to have personal life/sleep - meaning you sometimes code more and sometimes you don't. Forcing you to do only little work and then lock you out for extra usage will make you pay much more when actually using the model much less - because the times you are not coding would even out or even benefit you in credits

Tl;dr - it's claude's greedy credit system that sucks, i am not going to pay $100 for overcoming these weird limits, i would much rather use gemini cli

cantalopes··on Claude Opus 4.6 extra usage promo
i never had these issues with gemini cli using google vertex endpoint, and i never even reached $50 per month

i don't want to think about how to hack a tool i'm paying for not locking me out because "i promped wrong"

cantalopes··on Claude Opus 4.6 extra usage promo
exactly my experience. i am on pro subscription and when coding with claude in console i can only do about 30 min of work before i have to wait for 4 hours. i actually code more by chatting with claude via poe.com than using the subscription that i have
cantalopes··on We can’t send mail farther than 500 miles (2002)
I was one of the lucky ones today
cantalopes··on The state of Linux music players in 2026
Super surprised nobody mentioned Sayonara - practically native winamp for linux
cantalopes··on Time Station Emulator
What? Wow
cantalopes··on Proton spam and the AI consent problem
I also get pretty pissed of just ignoring gdpr, i just started to downright threaten them on support channels reminding that ignoring gdpr may cost them 2% of annual company turnover or 2 mil. eur, whichever is higher.

You would be surprised how many ridiculous "oh sorry some error in system" excuses you're gonna get. Right, that email accidentally slipped INSERT INTO spam slop database on its own.

And since i started to not explicitly opting in anywhere i know that when i receive a marketing email its abuse of my personal information. Under gdpr you need to explicitly consent to marketing communication. When you register to a service and receive spam you need to opt out from - that's an abuse. Some company try to argue they do so under "legitimate interest" clausule but that's bs and would not hold in court. For example, purchasing a product is not a valid legitimate interest for sending out eshop spam, they would lose.

When the incident repeats or i just get really pissed i go full karen and report them to authorities. I know two busisses had legal troubles because of me because i received deeper follow up emails while solving the case and i am happy for it.

One company that abused my personal data that i ended up not reporting was Telekom: when i contacted their support about spam incident and asked them for log of personal data and all of my consent logs and physical signatures to prove my consent, after which they said "it was a db error" (lol), and when the incident repeated i told them i am about to report them and they offered me 1 year of free internet - i said ok and never received a single spam from them ever again.

Fight back, you have the screenshots, you have the logs, ask for proof, report.

cantalopes··on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great
Same! High five!

I picked manjaro because rolling updates + being more noob friendly than arch sounded good and gnome because i wanted something completely fresh than a windows layout i'm used to. Now i'm eyeing after hyprland as the next step but couldn't fimd guts to disrupt my workflow in order to get used to it
