getpokedagain··on ZuckOff is a free app that sees Meta glasses before they see you
Why use logic when you can use ai pixie dust and marketing and of course our good friend. Bullshit.
getpokedagain··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
Wow..... Progress and technical innovation right here!!!
getpokedagain··on GrapheneOS' rewritten Messages app is released
This is somewhat true. I expect more regressions from released commercial software.

I suspect there are fewer regressions per release on graphenes alpha messenger than there are in googles message's app.

getpokedagain··on GrapheneOS' rewritten Messages app is released
If you look at the history they have been working on this for a few months. The announcement probably was tied to this public release being cut for testing.

Why are people not guessing

Putin

Trump

Xi

Modi

The server the article is being hosted on is battery powered via solar. You can see it's charge percent on any page the server sends back to you.

getpokedagain··on Bun 1.4
Bun honestly seems cool. But this creepy ass intro video is icky.

Lol at the verge paywalling
getpokedagain··on Devices with GrapheneOS support should be available in 2027
Because every attempted Linux phone gets zero battery life. I'd like to be able to leave the house for more than 3 hours.
getpokedagain··on Every Fucking Website (2020)
Its always confusing to me since I'm already accesing it through an app.

This is only true of ye olde apps from shitty banks and the like.

The schlong test is nearly as funny as drawing shit on bicycles test
getpokedagain··on Thanks FedEx, This Is Why We Keep Getting Phished (2024)
Twenty or so years ago I ordered wheels and tires from tire rack dot com and as I was in college had them delivered to my parents house. The FedEx driver proceeded to roll them down the driveway and into my parents siding scraping up my new wheels and causing about 20k in damage to the siding.

They seem to have improved so much in that time.

getpokedagain··on Show HN: Gander, an Android file viewer that asks for no permissions at all
Going to test this out. I've been very happy to see the number of new apps being developed to be installed on android via obtanium and away from the Google app store. I assume it's llms enabling folks to get quick apps out.
getpokedagain··on Emacs Is a Lispboard
I think I need to update my sales pitch for the passage of time. Emacs is probably closer to 50 now.
getpokedagain··on Emacs Is a Lispboard
Nearly 40 years of stuff.

People iterating on a problem space over time is the best way we have found to improve things.

The JS ecosystem is not that old and also attempts to solve hundreds of unrelated problems like running software without peoples consent.

getpokedagain··on Zig Creator Calls Spade a Spade, Anthropic Blows Smoke
It's more than just the battle testing. Things that are not wanted by a community or by users are not important. AI delusion memes are fairly reductive but a commonality I see in many overtly ai evangelistic groups is an urge to build without motivation and agreement. The yes we can answer AI gives to user's every question is a failure mode trigger. LLMs are missing the filter an engineer with a human body may give you to an idea...

- Why would we do that?

- This seems pointless.

- This is fucking dumb.

getpokedagain··on Why American ambulance rides are so expensive
>> He could have refused the second ride. You can refuse transport or medical care at any time as long as you are able to make rational decisions.

Disagreed. Someone who is cogent and not intoxicated and not a stroke victim can't always make the best choices. Your decision making can be compromised by I dunno the fucking pain of a broken toe bone.

Seeking help should not be interpreted as a sign of weakness and made into a maze where only the most rational can escape with minimal bills. The longer we leave this cognitive dissonance where the land of the free roughly translates to land of the free to get fucked we are going to continue to have instability.

getpokedagain··on Re: I'm Begging You to Leave Your AI Note-Taker at Home
Secretaries weren't invited to one on ones and interviews generally. This was something for only the highest places employees and not say something an IC would be used to.

Hence the engineers all going Wtf

getpokedagain··on Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter
Oh what the fuck I can t unsee
getpokedagain··on Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter
Something working is pointless if there are no users and no need is being addressed.
getpokedagain··on Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter
>> The project is under heavy active development

Is a pretty oof sentence for a project with one contributor and no users. Just reeks of llm barf with no oversight.

getpokedagain··on Rebuilding the Computer Room
>> Any limitations on smartphones are either ergonomic or entirely artificial.

Wanted to add here they are also fixable. Most phones can be used with a keyboard, monitor and mouse. Reading from a phone or tablet on a beach beats doing so on a laptop! Most of all people continue to create improved tools for voice recognition.

getpokedagain··on Who Does What? Team Topologies for the Agentic Platform
Please take my comments as friendly suggestions in your pull request. I am not intending to shoot you down friend.

I don't think you should avoid sharing it in any forum. Like I said it seems like a reasonable idea but I would just suggest being very I suppose blunt in 2026 because people skim and won't read things thoroughly. I would preface the article with "this is not battle tested"

Lest someone be frustrated when their stream aligned team accidentally exposes your whole company's email addresses on their new web app that whoops they forgot put it behind a login.

getpokedagain··on Who Does What? Team Topologies for the Agentic Platform
I like the topic and I think orgs are struggling with the question:

What do our teams look like now?

But I have some big concerns with your approach here. This post is written like an authoritative summary but you admit it's not been seen working. Why is there so much untested conjecture presented as best practice here? If you had tested it you would realize this proposal is not possible in most orgs. Their "platform" will not be extensive enough to prevent misshaps by teams comprised of non engineers.

getpokedagain··on The Doom Justifies the Valuation
While it is driving new hardware costs up remember you can run Linux on a potato and just wait it out. My pixel 8a is a phenomenal computer if ignore the hype monster.

getpokedagain··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
https://github.com/gsilvers/err

I've never worked on android/iOS and I know very little about sensors. I'm trying to learn through this experiment. If I can get rid of Strava and some other apps along the way with a simpler core that would be fun.
