wfg··on Snapchat sees spike in 1-star reviews as users pan the ‘My AI’ feature
Couldn’t they still get a location from the user’s IP address?

One example I saw is that a user was near panicking because when asked if the AI had access to their location, the AI said it didn’t. However, it was able to tell them the nearest McDonalds. Just thinking, if I had your IP (e.g. the source IP of a request to my server), I could find a “nearest” McDonalds.

wfg··on Show HN: I made a super simple iOS app to track expenses
>Either they ask to connect to my bank, or they ask me to manually enter my expenses.

What other options are there?

wfg··on Ask HN: How do you record your personal finances?
Thanks for mentioning this. I've been procrastinating on finding an alternative since they hiked the price up so much (not even my grandfathered $45/year pricing is immune!). It looks a lot like YNAB from the screenshots, but I'll give it a shot to see just how similar it really is. Being self-hostable is just icing on the cake!
wfg··on Ask HN: Docker on Apple M1 Silicon
Lima (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima) is the best way I've found to handle Docker on M1. Docker Desktop is a hog.

Their FAQs are pretty good, too (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima#faqs--troubleshooting).

wfg··on Ask HN: What Operating System are you running on your main machine?
After never being totally happy with Ubuntu or Pop!_OS and flip-flopping between them and Windows 10, I eventually decided to try Fedora. It has been great, and I have no interest in trying anything else.
