I am amazed about what I can read here, and the profession of the discussion.

gitowiec··on Dots: Always-on agents
So they stole idea from Zuck? That's good. And when reading all that PR I feel like it is going to be her l new whip on people who will use dots
gitowiec··on When did Google get so weird?
That is why I'm turning slowly to Kagi, first the free tier. My first search results were weird, I searched for "CMK32GX4M2A2666C16 ver3.41" and it wasn't much relevant as I thought it would be

gitowiec··on How to Write with an LLM
You seem to have an eye on identifying avatars as bots, how come? You also accused me of being a bot https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47293917
gitowiec··on My practical approach to surfing the web safely
I just don't see the difference, as I said, visiting my regular sites is what I do on the Internet 95% of the time.

gitowiec··on In September, AI generated code has made up 17.25% of all Linux Kernel patches
The same feeling, do AI knows the hardware? Does it have the context of the changes? Did it read Linus decisions why something should be the way he thinks is correct? I would prefer such approach where AI knows so much context as Linus and the most important persons in the kernel team

400 locs is a very exhausting day for me, I think I rarely did so much work a day in my entire 15 years career
gitowiec··on My temporary PHP fix from 2014 has nearly 20M installs. Today I'm deprecating it
Omg, PHP... I ditched this language 7 years ago, because I was fed up with the context switching (fullstack webdev). In the beginning I really was enjoying the gentle slope of learning. I could do a lot without knowing what classes, objects and types are. And I am grateful for this, because thanks to it, now I am here where I can do much more powerful things knowing classes, objects, types and paradigms
gitowiec··on Neovim have a ~$800k Bitcoin donation sitting untouched since 2023
Exactly this! It was rendered money by some minds.
gitowiec··on Claude is no longer available for minors
I don't configure my child's accounts as minor. I don't tell it is a child. The work I have to do to comply with different weird stuff when some platform knows a user is a child is so much crap that I get a headache! And it often does not work properly (eg try to signup child account for PokemonGo on slow device, or try to allow network play for a child in Minecraft game - microslop family crap will hit you hard)
gitowiec··on Claude, change the "Add to Cart" button to blue
This is kind of funny but with tears (not off joy). I stopped playing because it made me angry

The worst opening ever "Demands from mobile users continue to grow.". I stopped reading bullshit
gitowiec··on My Feed, My Way
Someone measured that if a user is teenager boy, it will take Tik Tok 9 minutest to serve misogynistic content...
gitowiec··on My Feed, My Way
"The Albanese Government is taking the next step following its world leading social media age ban to ensure Australians have more choice online...." - Me thinking "What the heck? What Albanese government has to do with Australians? Are they under the occupation? Albanian occupation?!"
gitowiec··on My practical approach to surfing the web safely
For Firefox I recommend Cookie AutoDelete 3.8.2 addon. It is possible to configure it to erase all storage (cookies, indexeddb, localSorage and others) after chosen time (default 15s) after changing/leaving domain. It has many other useful options.

Another good addon is ClearURLs 1.27.3 which clears suspicious parameters of query strings on everything what's loaded by page. It sometimes break sites.

gitowiec··on My practical approach to surfing the web safely
I don't understand why author complains about Firefox performance. I use it everyday on laptop and mobile and I don't see the difference to the Chrome or Brave when I visit all my regular sites and all other I find on HN. She has to play HTML 5 games or something to observe such difference
gitowiec··on Cloud in a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to everyone
There should be influencers or agitators (as named correctly) to tell general public what distro to install, what server to buy and how block tracking and ads

gitowiec··on Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO
I will keep the same
gitowiec··on Ask HN: AI for Home Lab Infra?
I think the most important work will be preparing the context for an agent (eg OpenClaw). Then add some skills (eg use ssh to visit specific machine). And finally the prompt. Maybe you should check what agent has the best tools for DevOps?
gitowiec··on Is a One Person Company (OPC) just another type of Uber driver?
It's common way of an employment in IT in Poland. SII and other big outsourcing companies offer mostly only B2B employment. And this sucks
