shark1··on AI companies in race to demonstrate their model most threatening to humanity
Exactly! Always for the "greater good".
shark1··on Astra for Law
In a certain emergent country, government employees that work for the law courts, are ignorantly uploading private data (audio, WhatsApp messages, and personal documents) of citizens, at scale, to OpenAi using their free accounts, without checking the terms.
shark1··on Stay discoverable in search while disallowing AI training
"Apple, Google, and Microsoft honor or have committed (in a specified time frame) to honor this setting."

Specified Time Frame ;)

printingpress.dev project is crying out for this skill.
shark1··on UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions
Wow! You have my respect, UEFA.
shark1··on SpaceX stock erases all its gains and slides below IPO price in intraday trading
It's typical to happen after IPOs. The same happened to: IBM, Meta, Google, Nvidia, Apple, and many others...

PS: I am not saying SpaceX is a good investment.

From the official documentation.
shark1··on How to Build a Minimal ZFS NAS Without Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS (2024)
If you use LVM you can have a similar pool of storage with 1GB RAM or even less, instead 8GB (ZFS requirement).

Caveat: LVM does not have built-in snapshots like ZFS has.

shark1··on Nintendo announces new product revisions in Europe with replaceable batteries
Unfortunately, programmed obsolesce is the unspoken motto for most companies. Only fierce competition or regulation can push them to do a better job.
shark1··on For most of the world, open-source AI is the only way forward
Yes. Very precise way to put that.

It's the same way the algorithm telling us what to see when we just want to see the raw feed.

In all cases, we could and can have both.

shark1··on Ryanair dark UX patterns summer 2026 refresher
They managed to create a business model relying in some sort of "slot machine" where customers buy the ticket to discover later they are "stupid" not noticing some rule hidden in the meticulously engineered dark patterns and, to board now and do not miss the planned trip, they will have to pay an expensive fee.

It is still impressive for me they managing to be this good in being nefarious at same time they have to worry about executing the service in such a complex industry.

The cherry on top is their social media, successfully bringing humour to alleviate and to make all of this acceptable, as it was just part of a bigger joke.

shark1··on Cleaning up after AI rockstar developers
Don't worry about losing your job to AI. We will have a lot of mess to clean up.
shark1··on EU Parliamentary Research Service calls VPNs "a loophole that needs closing"
It's very easy to fall in this trap of "surveillance for the greater good".

It reminds me the Mullvad pub campaign: https://mullvad.net/en/and-then/uk

shark1··on Incident with Issues and Webhooks – Resolved
The Internet infrastructure is not ready for all of these "generated" activity.

Eventually it will be!

shark1··on Layoffs at Block
It is a stupid trend happening between kids in the Internet. Dumbing down themselves to look more... rebel? I dunno.
shark1··on After my dad died, we found the love letters
Thanks. You understand me. Communication is hard and we have tools for doing a good job, why not using it? Individuals should raise the bar instead of embracing mediocrity.
shark1··on After my dad died, we found the love letters
Totally. It really annoys me.

I get distracted. The writer misses to accurately transmit the piece of information at its full extent.

shark1··on After my dad died, we found the love letters
The deliberate choice of committing such a basic mistake of lower-casing the beginning of all sentences is an insult. I am afraid of reading it, becoming desensitized, and starting to do the same.
shark1··on Whole Earth Index
I would never hear of these magazines if wasn't hackernews. They eventually pop up here. I was taking a look on it and... it was so well written!
shark1··on I’ve removed Disqus. It was making my blog worse
Disqusting is the copious amount of trackers they inject in the websites.

For small websites a good start is to get comments by email, publishing only the ones that adds value to the article or conversation. Why? Because we have lots of noise done by social media. A way of curating the comments increase the quality of the website.

If the website gets traction, than it's good to consider a tool to facilitate the commenting and moderation.

shark1··on Everything that's wrong with Google Search in one image
While many see it as a problem, kagi.com sees it as an opportunity.
shark1··on Nine things I learned in ninety years
> "...happiness to become one’s default state of mind."

I have read psychologists saying that "happiness as default state" is a social construct myth of modern times. You cannot be happy all the time, the fact of being unhappy sometimes is what drives you self-reflect and to chase meaning to your life. To feel pleasure you need to feel some pain.

shark1··on Open Source is one person
Yes, I know. My point is that writers could easily do it better.
shark1··on Open Source is one person
Yeah, the subtle way to plant an idea. It's a crime again to a person have "certain nationalities".
shark1··on Unexpected productivity boost of Rust
Reviews like yours are increasing my interested towards Rust. Apparently the tools and ecosystem are great, build on solid concepts and foundation.
shark1··on Sunny days are warm: why LinkedIn rewards mediocrity
My Linkedin feed is very bad. I am ok in reading about interesting companies milestones or my contacts sharing opportunities or work related opinions. What I get is endless self-promotion and corporate bullshit. A place where everybody is the opposite of authentic, acting weirdly and cringe as they were being watched by co-workers and possible recruiters (and actually they are).
shark1··on Fight Chat Control
It's impressive how governments never quit trying to implement this harmful idea.
shark1··on Fight Chat Control
It's like any other crime. They cannot stop you from stealing, for example. By doing it, you will not be a lawful citizen.
shark1··on Do not download the app, use the website
Is it because apps are usually faster? Milliseconds make a difference in UX.
