kreddor··on Cyberpunk Video Games
I would add Citizen Sleeper to the list. Board-game inspired narrative cyberpunk RPG with a nice story. I loved it and currently I'm playing the second one. It's a short game. Took me around 10 hours to finish though I didn't go throught all the tasks or the full DLC.
kreddor··on Tiny Emulators
I hit a bunch of random keys until it loaded ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
kreddor··on What was nice about the UI of Windows 2000
I really liked the luna silver and olive green themes. They were not too bad to look at.
kreddor··on GLM-5.2 is the new leading open weights model on Artificial Analysis
Maybe he meant "hopeful"...
kreddor··on Google I/O
Couldn't get the "Join the livestream" button to work in Firefox on desktop. No problem in Chrome.
kreddor··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
I would also like to hear more!
kreddor··on Termux
Even if you have Android 16 it's not guaranteed the terminal works. It's disabled by Samsung on my Galaxy A55 for some reason. Maybe the hardware doesn't support the feature.
kreddor··on Stop Doom Scrolling, Start Doom Coding: Build via the terminal from your phone
I'm just as baffled. I went to the comments to better understand but I still don't get it.

I've coded on my phone on several occasions. If you use Android, you don't even need a server or a home computer since Termux works really well as it is. It can run node.js and a bunch of other development tools easily. Or you can just ssh into a server with a development environment and do your stuff their (AI or not).

kreddor··on Steam Machine
I pretty much already use my Steam Deck as my main Desktop computer at home (I have a laptop for work). If I wanted to upgrade, this would be a no-brainer.
kreddor··on iPhone DevOps (2023)
It's basically possible with any device that supports DP Alt Mode? Any remaining issues are usually software (lack of proper desktop environment etc) but there are ways around that with Android. Samsung has DeX.
kreddor··on iPhone DevOps (2023)
For me personally, it's just the convenience of always having my phone in my pocket. Sometimes when out and about and I have a bit of free time, but haven't brought my laptop, it's nice to be able to just pick up my phone and hack for a bit. I wouldn't do full blown project on it though.

I couple of years back, I really liked replit for having probably the best integrated IDE on a phone. Everything was so smooth and well thought out.

kreddor··on Writing "/etc/hosts" breaks the Substack editor
I remember back in the old days on the Eve Online forums when the word cockpit would always turn up as "c***pit". I was quite amused by that.
kreddor··on Careless People
It's hardly just one single thing. The book is full of absurd scenes all the way through.

You should check out Marginalia Search as well! https://marginalia-search.com/
kreddor··on DiceDB
It was my first thought as well, before reading the landing page.
kreddor··on 56k modems relied on digital trunk lines
TIL why upload on 56k modems were capped on 33.6k. I always wondered about that. Super interesting stuff!

I also remember back in the day that my 56k modem would often only connect at like 48k or so, especially when it was raining. I guess living far out from the city made the connection more noisy?

kreddor··on WASM Wayland Web (WWW)
It's not really meant for end users currently. Your only option is to build from source. But it has made a lot of progress in a relatively short time.
kreddor··on Niantic announces “Large Geospatial Model” trained on Pokémon Go player data
No such thing as a free lunch.
kreddor··on Firefox-Passwords-Decryptor: Extracts and decrypts passwords saved in Firefox
I like this, but it needs to be an offline cli before I would use it :)
kreddor··on What's your favorite RSS feed reader?
I use FreshRSS as well and I use it exclusively from Android (Firefox Browser). Works surprisingly well even if it looks a bit dated.
kreddor··on Just disconnect the internet
Denmark has something quite similar (Sundhedsdatanettet).
kreddor··on From One RSS Feed Entry to 186850 Hits
Another one worth checking out: https://search.marginalia.nu/
kreddor··on Gordon Bell has died
I think NTFS already supports it? The recent announcement seems to be for native git support.
kreddor··on The Alternative Implementation Problem
Oh, I use it as well, especially on Android where it has proper support for extensions.
kreddor··on Pyspread – Pythonic Spreadsheet
I tried to install it on ubuntu 22.04 and got a different error using pip. I'm not experienced enough with Python to quickly figure out how to proceed. It's a shame it isn't easier to install.
kreddor··on Meta Llama 3
Got the same in Denmark
kreddor··on Descent 3 Source Code
I used Kali as well. Mostly for Warcraft 2. This must have been before Battle.net.
kreddor··on How web bloat impacts users with slow devices
The old Opera for mobile did that. I think Chrome had something similar at one point.
kreddor··on Frugly vs. Freemium
Or like the unlimited trialware license of WinRAR, without a deadline.
kreddor··on Pixel owners report problems after installing January 2024 Google Play update
I've been using Android since 2010 and don't remember having any stability issues for the last 6-8 years at least. Maybe it's a Pixel-thing? I've mostly owned Sony and Moto devices. They're often 1-2 versions behind on Android which could explain why they're more stable maybe.

(I like to customize my phones a lot (minimalist launcher, Termux software, Firefox with extensions) which I would hate to give up for iOS).
