kkarpkkarp··on Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative
they really did? where could I read about this.

I prefer to stay with addon

Edit: I see it, this is in their newest blog post

kkarpkkarp··on Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative
Supermaven[1] has addons for vscode as well for jetbrains (and neovim). And it is so good that I quickly decided for their paid plan

kkarpkkarp··on Renderings Created with Only a Pencil
There is a girl on Twitter who does perfect photo-like drawings of Formula 1 drivers, I think she deserves more publicity

> you can have that with server-side rendering plus

yes, we use PHP for this which is much simpler to grasp than JS-SSR

kkarpkkarp··on JetBrains' unremovable AI assistant meets irresistible outcry
> A persistently visible ad for a paid service you don't want, in a paid product you paid for?

Yes, this bad, but outrage described in the article is not because of this.

All unhappy customers are complaining the plugin sends the data and they cannot uninstall it.

It is opposite: they need to enable it, accept terms and start paying for the service and only then they concerns might be correct.

I am not even JetBrains user but this is just a FUD for me

kkarpkkarp··on Push notifications – What to push, what not to push, and how often
I could agree: it always depends on personal preferences or usage scenarios. Even I have some IM apps' notifications disabled and I check them only once in a while.

But some IM I treat as a really instant communication channel with my family: I don't want to miss any message from my kids or "I am at grocery, do you need something?" from my wife

kkarpkkarp··on Push notifications – What to push, what not to push, and how often
Two years ago I learned from some Twitter post a new habit: every time you install an app on your phone, you must do one more step: block its notifications.

You don't need any notifications from apps as long as this is not an instant messaging app. (You can make additional exception for your banking app, but that's it for 90% of users)

My phone is now so silent.

kkarpkkarp··on Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
on Firefox, Tampermonkey addon works with this script:

kkarpkkarp··on Ask HN: How are so many fake ads allowed on YouTube?
my story: when my kids were in age around 5 yo, obviously they were watching YT cartoons, but this will not be story about ElsaGate, this knows everyone.

Some algorithm decided it is good to show during cartoons vasectomy ad. This is weird enough, but somehow I can understand this failed reasoning (kids -> tired parents -> no more kids -> vasectomy).

But this ad consisted only from one slide presenting intersection of penis and nothing more. For long seconds my kids were staring at it before I reacted and turned it off.

I also reported this to my country's authorities and I got some answer they gave Google some fine for this.

kkarpkkarp··on Ash Framework
I tried figure out what I can build with this framework (web apps? native apps?) and what programming language I have to know to use it and after few clicks, also into doc, I gave up.
kkarpkkarp··on Bard can now connect to your Google Apps and services
I asked for flights from Poland to Cancun, Mexico in May 2024. It told me I can with Wizzair (the operator operating in Europe only) with stopover in Kyiv, Ukraine (lol).

Maybe it can connect to Google Apps but can't give reliable results.

kkarpkkarp··on Don’t store cash in Venmo and PayPal, US regulator warns
I learned this hard way (ok not hard way, I had balance of 2 USD at that time) when Revolut locked me out. They simply stopped releasing new version of their app for Android version I had. Day by day I lost access to my money.

I simply got error that I can't log in and I should update an app but there was not any update.

Took me two days to get to their support (I don't know how it is now, but at that time all ways was directing me to use support option in app which was not functioning). And support told me if I want to get my 2 USD I should buy a new phone.

2 USD is nothing to continue the fight but I've understood I don't want to give any money to such operator. I am not Revolut user for more than 6 years now.

kkarpkkarp··on No A/C? No problem, if buildings copy networked tunnels of termite mounds

kkarpkkarp··on March 20 ChatGPT outage: Here’s what happened
I found it was issue with Firefox and its default privacy settings. Clicking shield icon in Firefox address bar and setiting this privacy guard off made Chat working again
kkarpkkarp··on March 20 ChatGPT outage: Here’s what happened
is this only me who don't see any chat history since yesterday and generally chat does not work (you can type the message, but clicking button or hitting enter / ctrl+enter) does not give any effect?

in chat history there is a button to "retry" but clicking it and inspecting the result, you see "internal server error"

kkarpkkarp··on Chronology Clock
why for 21:39 it shows events for 439? I understand nothing found for 2139 but why 21: becomes 4?
kkarpkkarp··on GPT-4 Designed a Programming Language
I've already asked one day chatgpt 3.5 to write me some code in the programming languge which he (it?) thinks is best designed and it gave me the result in something what was type annotated Python
kkarpkkarp··on Google Reader shut down announced ten years ago today
after ten years I would say it turned out to be a good decision, at leats for me.

Google Reader was "just a reader" and nothing more. They did not invest in it, it was stagnated but as it was working ok, I didn't have motivation to look for alternatives.

When Google Reader was announced to be shut down, it gave a great motivation to other reader's authors to develop their products. I would never replace current Inoreader with its insanse features with Google Reader again.

kkarpkkarp··on GitHub Sponsors will stop accepting PayPal on February 23, 2023
so you didn't get back your money, yes? what did your bank answered to you?

edit: ah, so you started the chargeback from some UI on the startup site? I think you hit their honeypot; you should initiate by contacting your bank. There is no point to report thief on a thief site :)

kkarpkkarp··on GitHub Sponsors will stop accepting PayPal on February 23, 2023
> So a leaky card is better because you have chargeback.

Yup, I will still stick to my point.

Someone stole my card? Not super convenient, but I do not lose any single penny. All will be back on my bank account.

Someone stole my Paypal password (on the phishing site)? It is my problem, Paypal will not refund it to me.

I bought some travel trip but travel agency did not fulfilled its obligations?

With credit card and chargeback I have all money back (and travel agency has their deal with payment company ceased).

With Paypal this is my problem and Paypal is not going to refund me any single cent.

Since my first chargeback request I don't hesitate to pay with cards at all. (And chargeback processing was faster than anyone expected: bank always contacts the other side to see their point of view and because other side doesn't want to loose their deal and go banckrupt, they send me money back on very same day)

kkarpkkarp··on GitHub Sponsors will stop accepting PayPal on February 23, 2023
> A credit card is the most insecure [...] payment method.

On contrary, it is the most secure because of the chargeback.

Someone stole your credit card data and bought anything with your money? No problem, just fill in chargeback request and money are back. Bank will handle the rest (including the finding the place where it was stolen and stopping accepting credit card transactions from that place at all, so if you are running online shop, better really secure the transactions).

kkarpkkarp··on Digitec Galaxus now displays warranty score and return rate
I am sure :) Here is example https://www.amazon.pl/Anker-Soundcore-Glo%C5%9Bnik-Bluetooth...

and screenshot

https://ibb.co/FDm2BZL

"Najniższa ostatnia cena: 179zł" just under the price is the text required by EU directive.

kkarpkkarp··on Digitec Galaxus now displays warranty score and return rate
depends if German and French gov already implemented this EU directive. Different countries implement it in different pace. For example Poland already has this law in power and amazon.pl is aligned to it.
kkarpkkarp··on Digitec Galaxus now displays warranty score and return rate
> price history so you can see when sales are fake

This is now a law enforced in European Union to display such history (at least the lowest price in last 30 or more days so customer knows if the price was not fake rised just before lowering it and calling it a sale). WooCommerce has a plugin for that now[1].

kkarpkkarp··on Bill Gates tries to install Movie Maker (2003)
And "Top download categories > Browsers" redirects you to IE download page which informs it is retired and you should go to Edge download page (which does not have anything to download, just a slideshow about Edge) :)

kkarpkkarp··on Hyperlinks in Handwriting
I like how sarcastic it is that link to this completely inaccessible post written as PNG image is at HN just next to the link to Bogota's gov page which has a sign language titles :)
kkarpkkarp··on RootMyTV is a user-friendly exploit for rooting/jailbreaking LG webOS smart TVs
> i don't know why they are targeting LG which is less used and has way less ads than Samsung.

Probably because the author (looking on the git history, for first 2 months it was developed by one guy and then one another has joined him) has LG tv. :)
