Multiplayer tactical shooter inspired by id tech 3 era, using Godot.

xelia··on Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network
Yes! I maintain documentation relating to music production and want to make it public, while also ideally also accepting contributions (though I'm not sure how that'd look like).

It would be nice to have a way to have WIP be private until I publish the changes.

xelia··on Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network
I self host docmost and love it, thank you for making it!

Will you consider making it publishable as a wiki? The current share feature is close but forces me to share a specific URL and live-edit public pages.

Makes it feel less corporate, more authentic, I feel
xelia··on First new VAX in 30 years? (2021)
Unfortunately the text is too small for me to comfortably read, and the website is incompatible with Safari’s Reader Mode.
xelia··on Show HN: GPT-V and OCR for Screen Control
I wonder if this can be optimized by letting GPT provide multiple instructions per screenshot instead of just one.

For example in the twitter screenshot, it could use just the one image.

xelia··on Apple and Google Monitor Notifications. We Need Push Notification Alternatives
Push notifications are incredibly useful, especially for as private a thing as messaging. “Just disable notifications” isn’t a real solution for almost anyone.
xelia··on Apple and Google confirm governments spy on users through push notifications
I’m not entirely sure what you’re alluding to - but yes, neither do corporations should be allowed unrestricted access to your personal data.
xelia··on Omegle 2009-2023
Ironically it is technically VC backed
xelia··on Windows 10 warns me to use a "Microsoft-verified" app
Why is that an issue when it’s the engine? It’s hard to argue this is anti competitive in any way when it comes to browser product choice.
xelia··on I'm fed up with it, so I'm writing a browser
Even in that country - if you’re a woman you need to know if you still have rights regarding bodily autonomy (e.g. abortion). If you’re queer you need to know if you’re allowed to dress a certain way (anti-drag laws) or express public affection, without being arrested.
xelia··on Apple Music launches a Discovery Station to help you find new songs
I agree, and to mitigate this weakness I created a “Like Song” shortcut that adds the song to a Liked playlist, very similar to Spotify. The only weakness of AM that I couldn’t mitigate is remote controlling songs - Spotify is superior surprisingly so.

That's really cool, will definitely consider, thanks!

Thank you!
xelia··on Twitter blocks links to Threads, while CEO downplays reports of traffic decline
I think Threads appeals to a different set of people than BlueSky - or at least a different side of a person.

The lack of anonymity with Threads makes it a completely different experience for me.

So I wouldn’t really say they’re competitors.

xelia··on Bluesky temporarily halts sign-ups
Thanks, but they aren't working unfortunately.
xelia··on A Look at Bluesky
I’d say the protocol’s complexity tries to solve a lot of real problems that infest social media today, only time will tell if those solutions are the right ones.
xelia··on Firesky – The Bluesky Firehose
i love this. gives me a peek into the bluesky world while waiting for an invite.
xelia··on Amazon will monitor workers' keystrokes to 'combat data theft'
Perhaps we should return to feudalism, as it is absurd to think you deserve to use a lord’s property without putting in any labor for them.

To me it’s absurd that the system is such that the one’s doing the most don’t get to decide what happens with the fruits of their labor, and are under the mercy of whoever happens to own that workplace.
