peakaboo··on Do you find mentoring and code review boring?
It's insulting now to not want to mentor people?

It's exhausting and frustrating. I don't get any joy from it. In fact I want to write my own code, not look at other people's code at all.

peakaboo··on On the removal of Come Back Alive
This is a war. Children are writing on reddit about explosions outside their windows. Patreon is doing the morally wrong thing here.
peakaboo··on Here comes the first TikTok war
I don't think so. Google and YouTube is completely censored for years and people don't care.
peakaboo··on What made World of Warcraft's environments so compelling?
Great graphics, sound, animations, and maps.

First time I played it, I couldn't stopped playing it. It was the first game I couldn't put down because it was just so exciting to explore the world and upgrade your character.

peakaboo··on Ledit: Simple, GPU-rendered, no bullshit text editor
I see a huge difference using Kitty, it's much faster than other terminals.
peakaboo··on Here's how Google shares, monetizes, and exploits your data
It's literally complete surveillance of our every activity and making millions of dollars from it, without giving anything back to the users who provide the data they profit from.

We are all just happy to get virtual likes on Facebook while making exactly 0 dollars.

peakaboo··on Ask HN: Why are Google's search products bad if Google has decades of Know-how?
Censorship and SEO.
peakaboo··on Ask HN: Why should I trust password managers?
You can host Bitwarden yourself if you want to and trust no one.
peakaboo··on Pollution causing more deaths than Covid, action needed, U.N. expert says
Clearly we need Pollution Passes.
peakaboo··on Is Firefox Okay?
All that stuff is poison. It comes from a good place but corporate uses it to promote people who should never ever be in a leadership position. Suddenly they get a platform for promoting gender issues instead of focusing on the product.
peakaboo··on Tell HN: NBC quietly removes coverage of Kamila Valieva from YouTube channel
Because people are so dumb today and don't even understand the critical importance of having and displaying different opinions.

Now we want everyone to agree with us, because if they don't, we go into a tantrum.

peakaboo··on All Google Cloud product in this periodic table
Google is shit.

Kagi is about to go public with their search engine and it blows Google out of the water completely. I've been using it for a few weeks as my default search and its awesome.

peakaboo··on Pollution causing more deaths than Covid, action needed, U.N. expert says
Not all of us are used to them. I think they are absurd, and I'm never going to live my life wearing a mask.

It's completely unnatural.

peakaboo··on Tell HN: Use “Verbatim mode” to fix Google search
This reads like encouraging people to stay with an abusive partner. He will change anytime now...
peakaboo··on Version 100 in Chrome and Firefox
Completely agree.
peakaboo··on The Netherlands to drop all Covid restrictions by Feb, 25
From what I've read, this is not over. It's just a break. Probably will get a new virus mutation this summer.

This goes on as long as its profitable and people keep going along with it.

peakaboo··on Show HN: Shortwave: Enjoy Your Inbox
We need this but not for Google. What's the point of a nice inbox when you are getting spied on and sold to advertisers?
peakaboo··on I love you, Hacker News, but you’re toxic
I've met plenty of people who needs to be right and don't even try to be nice. Usually overly intellectual types.

But I've also met very smart people who helps others a lot and cares about how they feel.

I think it's about emotional intelligence a lot. Do you have it or don't you.

peakaboo··on Ukraine has been “informed” that it will be “attacked” by Russia on Feb 16
These exact same words could have been said about the USA also. I think all these big countries just become massively corrupt in the end.
peakaboo··on Engr.blog – Hacker News for technical blog
Actually a pretty nice selection of articles. Read about zalando and I'm not surprised they have a great tech team - the company is doing great.
peakaboo··on Ask HN: What's your learning strategy?
Interesting but there are never just two kinds of thinking. I bet many people fall into other categories that may not even have a name or a description at this point.
peakaboo··on Devs Use Closed Software
I've recently switched to neovim instead of vs code, because it feels great to learn an editor that will always be free and without influence from big tech whims and decisions.

It takes weeks of setting it up with nice plugins but once it's done, things are smooth :)

peakaboo··on After the Great Resignation, Tech Firms Are Getting Desperate
A company will never care (in the real meaning of the word) about you as a person.

You can't combine capitalism with care for humans.

peakaboo··on This week in KDE: A smooth release of Plasma 5.24
This is the main problem with KDE - it's buggy. I always have bugs with KDE popping up after weeks or months. With Gnome, I have zero bugs (except one time where I had a memory leak and it kept eating my memory).
peakaboo··on Show HN: Jless, a command-line JSON viewer
I don't think that's the reason... It's because so called modern stacks are built on 100 layers of abstractions instead of being low level and fast.
peakaboo··on Show HN: Yode-Nvim – Focused Code Editing for Neovim
This looks really cool. Will absolutely try it out. :)
peakaboo··on Meta is not threatening to leave Europe
What a shame. Would love if they left.
peakaboo··on Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case
Heart decease comes from the vaccines but they will never admit that of course.
peakaboo··on Plasma 5.24
Every time there is a new plasma release I feel like I want to try it again :)

But I'm just so happy with Gnome.

Can't complain though, having two excellent desktops to choose from is a luxury problem.

peakaboo··on Banned and Challenged Books Everyone Should Read
Thanks! Saved it.

May as well read a few good books while the world goes crazy. :)
