That's the headline feature.
thesdev··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
https://nitter.click still works right as rain, and so do many other Nitter instances.
thesdev··on Grok outage
You didn't get no response so I suppose that means it is.
thesdev··on I don't have a smartphone or at least I wish I didn't
So you'd leave the restaurant if it has a QR menu?
thesdev··on The ChatGPT/Codex app bundles a full copy of LibreOffice
Copyright violation is the last thing one could accuse ChatGPT of.
thesdev··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
Not sure ignore is the right word here. I think they rather take pride in it.
thesdev··on Sydney Marathon medal mistakenly depicts Munich stadium
You can tell it's an Aussie medal because all landmarks are depicted upside-down.
thesdev··on AI companies destroy physical books – let's scan rare books before it's too late
> working towards the benefit of humanity is not an exclusive right / domain of theirs

That's not their goal or else they wouldn't be burning books. Their goal is making money no matter the cost to the society.

thesdev··on The August 17 outage
> the entitled freeloaders

Now remind me again, who trained a coding-assistant without consent on those "freeloaders" code and sold it for profit?

thesdev··on OpenRouter is joining Stripe
It's following the open closed principle.
thesdev··on Research papers using "kidney disappointment" instead of "kidney failure"
> persistent kidney disappointment (CKF)

Guess why the acronym doesn't match. It's called chronic kidney disease (CKD). Yeah the acronym is wrong too.

thesdev··on Ask HN: Do you know of any company that went back to hand-written code?
What a dream! Don't you have investors that need hyping up all the time?
thesdev··on Swedish court says Google is to pay $1.5B to Klarna in antitrust damages
I'd imagine this is about the presence of the google shopping bar you get above the results, like this: https://imgur.com/a/1drEnrm
thesdev··on Swedish court says Google is to pay $1.5B to Klarna in antitrust damages
This case is about a subsidiary of them called Pricerunner, which is a price-comparison platform.

thesdev··on Honesty gets Emacs patch rejected
The LLM-tone of that apology is ironic.
thesdev··on What was nice about the UI of Windows 2000
Windows XP was the first OS I ever used and still I switched to the classic UI because it looked just better in my opinion.
thesdev··on Show HN: Uruky (EU-based Kagi alternative) now has Image Search and URL Rewrites
> We won't have Generative AI, sorry.

You're taking a stance? In this economy?

This is a bug plus in my book, and it is, besides being Europe-based, the reason I've been donating to Vivaldi for the past 18 months. I signed up for Uruky just last week, but I sense I'll stick around for much longer. Please continue being awesome!

thesdev··on GitHub Actions down again today
Next thing you're gonna tell us you're SRE at GitHub.
thesdev··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
It does appear that way, but when you click on register you get an account valid for one day, without having to fill in any data whatsoever.
thesdev··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
Just this morning I was helplessly looking at r/ecosia for a way to get rid of the new AI tab they've added (there's no way). Signed up for Uruky, let's see how it fares.
thesdev··on Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
If anyone can afford burning cash for his ego it's the richest man in the world with the biggest ego in the world.
thesdev··on Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
I hope he appeals. Not cheering for Musk, cheering for the fight.
thesdev··on How do I cancel my ChatGPT subscription?
Didn't a judge order they need to keep all chats because of the NYT case? Has the situation changed?
thesdev··on Claude Opus 4.6
What's the password? I only see ****.
thesdev··on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
Copilot is anything you want it to be inside Microsoft. Heck even Office is Copilot nowadays.
thesdev··on From stealth blackout to whitelisting: Inside the Iranian shutdown
What the parent said. Our government has the right to kill its own people, and in thousands at that, nothing for you to see here /s

Parent is what we call a cyber soldier in Iran. They probably were on the streets in the past weeks shooting at protesters.

thesdev··on Just the Browser
And then in the same article he goes to write that Firefox "will evolve into a modern AI browser", which makes AI sound like an intrinsic trait. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence if you ask me.
thesdev··on Iran Goes Into IPv6 Blackout
Yep, everything connecting to the Internet goes through the TIC.

thesdev··on Show HN: My not-for-profit search engine with no ads, no AI, & all DDG bangs
Searching for "DOMContentLoaded" gives me an error "'noresults' is not valid JSON" and the page gets stuck in an infinite refresh loop.

Edit: It's actually unrelated to the search term, I get this for anything I search for. I'm using Vivaldi Android with adblocker on, maybe that's the problem.

thesdev··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Why didn't they have the AI write a JS runtime instead of this acquisition?
