lolftw··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
I think most people would understand something like living "side by side with cars".

Even if not alive, you can live very close and shape your life by and with technology.

I don't take any issue with the OP's formulation.

lolftw··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
A GoPro fits all of those requirements and has easily replaceable batteries. Now, I understand that the shape and sizes are different. But I wouldn't mind some extra mm of thickness (I already get a pretty big camera bump anyway) if that means I can replace a battery faster.
lolftw··on Orion 1.0
I love Orion on iOS especially because the ability to use desktop extensions in it (some may not work)

> If you are concerned about that, don’t use iOS.

The advantage of Android is that you can get the apk from a trusted source or build it yourself, right?

lolftw··on Ask HN: How to be sure that an app on a store is running the open source code?
Precisely. My concern was raised thinking about contact tracing apps. I'll have a look at the link you shared, thank you!
lolftw··on I deleted my Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram accounts, and felt great since
Also, if you try to follow any type of discussion in the comments its surprisingly difficult. Hard to find the parents of a comment, hard to scroll up to the original comments. And to be honest... I think this is for the best of the platform.
lolftw··on Elevator.js – A “back to top” button that behaves like a real elevator
Or shift+space if you want to take steps until the top (maybe you just want to navigate up faster, and not to the top)
lolftw··on Twitter Will Allow Employees to Work at Home Forever
I fully agree with you. Although office interactions play a big part in socialization, I think most of the uneasiness I feel right now is due to the fact that I can't even socialize outside of work, or with non-coworkers. Not caused by remote work per se.

Care to share what you product is?
lolftw··on Ask HN: How do you keep your files organized on macOS?
I like your rule based approach. I think I'll try it for myself.

My main "problem" with organization methods, is that I feel they get in the way of my creation process.

If i'm creating a PPT and I need an icon pack I don't want to think to where should I donwload it, if the project as a folder, where to export it or whatever... Just give me the icons, right now Im creating a presentation, I could care less about how my files are structured.

The final presentation will end up on google drive, or somwhere else "safe".

Your approach allows me to do this, and keep everything organized at the same time.

lolftw··on Ask HN: How do you keep your files organized on macOS?
> It's like "saving things" on my physical desk - a bad habit I tell myself not to do, but still find myself doing. (chucks a few things that have been on my desk).

But on a physical desk I don't have options to sort, search etc. I do on the mac. I use the desktop as place for non-critical files everytime (like a screenshot that I have to attach to an email, or to export a image without background that I am going to use on a ppt). Basically just as a temp folder.

It is absolutly cluttered, but the ability to drop a temporary file there without thinking of structure or what it relates to trumps the clutter it creates.

Besides, with the addition of Stacks (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT209101) it makes everything more manageable.
