You are right, thank you :D

I agree. Probably best consumer-level router OS
fortym2··on More developers use Linux than Mac, according to 2022 StackOverflow survey
Hmm you are right on that. Sometimes certain things are inconvenient on the Linux desktop world too. And also, some hardware combination just don't work good.

I've always found MacOS less productive than any Linux installation with desktop environments like XFCE or KDE, and also even less productive than Windows.

The user experience on MacOS is frustrating. NayamAmarshe has already provided some examples in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34164174).

Probably because they started to enforce more the new Vercel's brand identity
fortym2··on YouTube’s ‘dislike’ barely works according to new study on recommendations
That is why for the last couple of years I have been only using Invidious/Piped (on desktop) and NewPipe (on Android).

I have my subscriptions there and only new videos of the channels I'm interested into appear. No distraction, no trending low quality videos in my feed anymore. I only get what I'm interested into.

When I want to look for something new, I head over the popular/trending sections and maybe navigate a bit on vanilla YouTube to look for new things.

No regrets.

Last winter this used to happen to me when changing bedsheets.

Very clever
fortym2··on Evaluation of TikTok vs. Instagram Reels
Yes, this is something important that the post is missing
fortym2··on Evaluation of TikTok vs. Instagram Reels
I loved the humor of the first part of the post.

IMO the problem of Instagram is not only related to Reels, but is more generalized. For the past ~5 years I have been noticing a serious decline in the quality of the interactions and of the content around.

Any interaction nowadays on Instagram feels fake, for the sole purpose of getting attention. The old-style pictures that are almost sure to generate more interactions are recycled old jokes that people with common sense are now tired of reading, but somehow a lot of users still enjoy them.

There are also some unexplainable phenomenas, like pictures with absolutely trash content that probably took zero effort to produce, getting thousands of likes and comments.

These situations (and more...) for me have eventually taken away all the fun of using the app.

fortym2··on Ask HN: Whatever happened to dedicated sound cards?
Yes, the latency improvement is very true

Who needs better audio still looks for dedicated sound cards, *but* external.

For example if you produce music, you probably are good with an external USB audio interface like a Focusrite Scarlett.
