sys_64738··on Albania Is Not for Sale: Kushner's $4B Resort Triggers'Flamingo Revolution'
I thought Albania still had concrete bunkers around the coast to keep unwanted invaders OUT.
sys_64738··on Is Grep All You Need? How Agent Harnesses Reshape Agentic Search
Surely 'strings' would be even better?
sys_64738··on Netlify CTO Dana Lawson: Writing code is no longer the job
Sounds like a total chump. Why do these individuals spew these utterances voluntarily? I'm guessing it is something driven from an internal company decision so this individual now has to evangelize it as gospel to the naysayers.
sys_64738··on Dear Microsoft, enough is enough
Quite interesting comment. Did this group of folk not have access to a computer? Did they use Chrome or Safari?
sys_64738··on Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work up to 30 min
This does make me chuckle. The workers for facebook inc. who make write the very software that spies on everybody is up in arms about being spied on. They forget what a grifter that the Zuck is.
sys_64738··on Shopify Is Down
Is this bad?
sys_64738··on Larry Ellison: "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re recording"
Anybody that advocates like this should be the first to sign up for 24x7x365 monitoring. That also includes all their family.
sys_64738··on Sergey Brin told Google staff that working 60 hours a week is the 'sweet spot' (2025)
I work to live and not to make a billionaire even richer off my back. The rank and file who are clued in don't spew this dross but those with most to gain do. You can always tell those with skin in the game.
sys_64738··on If you let AI do your writing, I will come to your house and kill you
> An incendiary clickbait title, and indulgent writing style turned me off.

It's the only way to get noticed above all the other flaff out there. Youtube is full of such soundbites.

sys_64738··on Software Engineering at the Tipping Point
We're janitors at best and I don't mean to disrespect janitorial who do real and very important work. Fixing AI slop doesn't feel real.
sys_64738··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
Petrodollar is gone now. Only ships paying in Yuan can exit the Strait.
sys_64738··on Tell HN: I'm tired of AI-generated answers
I fear a lot of the web will become like the old USENET newsgroups filled with spam garbage which made the whole thing unusable in the end. The ability of AI to pump out slop to any forum from unlimited accounts will kill the internet.
sys_64738··on The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics
I can't say I've noticed specifically. I have two tracfone accounts and a Cricket account so used to use the Android phone with Cricket after two months - a free phone. But tracfone was bought by Verizon and they being them immediately changed the unlock period from two months to a year. So that to me kills my use case of free smartphones as I don't want to spend any money on phones.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
The Vivaldi team have a long history of closed source browser development. I mean I was using Opera almost 30 years ago so I don't have any concerns about it being closed source. But you do you.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
Quite a bizarre response but whatever.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
I run on multiple machines without issue.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
Totally agree. It is the best browser across all platforms of mobile and desktop for me. I read on here all the excuses others make for not using Vivaldi but they don't pass the smell test for me. Long may Vivaldi prosper.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
Probably it's a very low request priority. I use Vivaldi on Android with the built in blocking at strict. The last thing I remotely have interest in are Extensions in Android Vivalid.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
I've never seen or heard of this before. Perhaps it is a user error.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
Edge? You don't want the 'bloat' but you are OK with a browser siphoning all your info to M$ to be added to the borg entity.
sys_64738··on Vivaldi 8.0
Sounds like a you problem. It never crashes on me.
sys_64738··on US is starting to see heavy job losses in roles exposed to AI
I'm at that point in my working life that I don't care about AI but I'd hate to be starting out or mid-career where I need to pay attention. I sometimes wonder if the glory years of tech are drawing to a close and it's time to draw a line under it before it changes too much. AI has tentacles into everything but the reason I do this career is that certain areas of work provide enjoyment. If AI takes that away then I would care less to do the job and be less invested to go the extra yard. I feel there's goodwill in employees that will get sucked out the more AI intrudes into our daily lives.
sys_64738··on I love Linux, but I can't quit Windows
What a quite absurd conclusion. If you want to use your camera then just use it and stop looking for excuses. I find people who moan about the OS UI are just nitpicking. Nothing is perfect and it's there to provide utility for the task at hand. Pick one and get on with life.
sys_64738··on The vi family
People in the early days developed enough vi skills to allow them to get by. You could always be sure vi was installed on a remote system you were trying to access in the 90s. You also couldn't install stuff on this system and maybe you were accessing it from an ASCII terminal hooked into the serial port. This typically happened in a data center when you're trying to awkwardly use the terminal due to lack of space. Today I doubt that holds.
sys_64738··on Don't hijack my mouse pointer
Try using RISC OS on the Archimedes if you want some really obnoxious mouse pointer hijacking.
sys_64738··on How to Leave Instagram
Just stop using it. That's all you need to do.
