hundchenkatze··on Show HN: TinyClock – a tiny true 5-arch universal Mac OS X single-binary GUI app
Yep, since 2020 [0]. Or are you being pedantic about OS X vs macOS?

hundchenkatze··on Image generation ethics: Will you be an AI vegan?
But you aren't a vegan either. Therefore veganism doesn't work for you as an analogy to your personal ethics? I'm confused.

Yep, it's Apple Park. Here are the images used:

hundchenkatze··on Ask HN: Why did smartphones become a single point of failure?
"in my mind you have created a single point of failure for _yourself_."

You are blaming them in your first sentence. You're both blaming and informing, your message would come off much more friendly without the first sentence.

hundchenkatze··on Google’s in-house desktop Linux
It says you can't get it in the second paragraph.
hundchenkatze··on Dark pattern: how YouTube makes sure you don’t always “skip ad”
This would be great, exactly what I need. But they don't seem to offer it everywhere. I get the message "This offer is not available" when I go to https://www.youtube.com/premiumlite
hundchenkatze··on Everything with a battery should have an off switch
Couldn't you subtract the resistance of the plunger and display the adjusted value?
hundchenkatze··on The case for LineageOS and the PinePhone
Snapchat is in control of all the things you listed. You're agreeing with the person you're insulting.
hundchenkatze··on ReVanced
Maybe not, but MS does follow the DMCA takedown process.

This is what was going on with some Grand Theft Auto mods[1] and youtube-dl [2]

hundchenkatze··on Removing cookie consent requests from Firefox iOS
The goal isn't to hide from cookies, it's not having to click through cookie consent modals. Having ephemeral sessions actually makes this problem worse because sites actually use a cookie to track whether you've consented to the other cookies the site wants to use. So not having the "has/has not consented" cookie causes the modal to appear, making you set your preferences every time you visit the site instead of just the first time.
hundchenkatze··on Removing cookie consent requests from Firefox iOS
Yep and the feature is just rule based auto-clicking elements after the page loads. So it can skip other annoyances like newsletter or app download prompts too.

hundchenkatze··on Reddit files to go public
Back when cloud was the big new buzzword several browser extensions/bookmarklets were created to replace occurrences of "cloud" with "butt".

1_player's comment should have replaced both occurrences of metaverse with butt though.

hundchenkatze··on Show HN: You.com, private search engine that summarizes the web – built for devs
I was able to use it without installing anything.
hundchenkatze··on A different kind of keyboard
I was experiencing the same – narrow hand position causing lots of back pain. Keeping my arms/shoulders in a natural position seems to have fixed it.

There's also tons of split keyboards available now.

hundchenkatze··on Brave Talk – Privacy-Preserving Video Conferencing
I don't care what kind of code is required for it to actually work. If I can't start a call in a browser other than Brave, then it by definition does _not_ work in every browser. You stating that it requires native code that's not present in other browsers is clear evidence that it doesn't work in all browsers.
hundchenkatze··on Brave Talk – Privacy-Preserving Video Conferencing
So it works in all major browsers once you redefine "works" - got it.

> What exactly is their revenue model?

Seems they're still trying to figure that out.

hundchenkatze··on Leaving the Apple ecosystem behind
Agreed, patching/generating custom edid configs is not my idea of it just works...
hundchenkatze··on More Casio Watch Mods
I agree basic digital watches are old, but your aliexpress search returns mostly smart watches for me.

hundchenkatze··on The new warrant: how US police mine Google for your location and search history
There's Trackbook for Android. It records locally to a GPX file and also has the option to use GPS only.

hundchenkatze··on TrackerControl
There are several mentions of Android on the page.

And there are clear indications at the very top of the page this is an Android project.

The GH repo listed at the has android in the name:

    OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android
and the about section subtitle is

    Download directly here, from F-Droid, or a feature-reduced version from Google Play.
It's pretty clear to me that this is an Android app.
hundchenkatze··on Psst: Fast Spotify client with native GUI, without Electron, built in Rust
How is the battery holding up on the Pros? My 1st gen AirPods were dead (each bud only holds about 20 mins of charge) after a year. I then tried a pair of the SoundCore Air Liberty 2 (what a name...) with the same result after a year or so. I can't justify paying $200 every year, so I'm sticking with wired for now.
hundchenkatze··on FOSS app removed from the Play Store for linking to the project's website
> Google still serves are huge portion of search traffic which pretty clearly is a good thing.

Hard disagree there, a single company dominating search is not a good thing.

I think mining crypto currencies makes you a miner, not a farmer.
