This quote is so egregiously stupid, I'm instantly disinterested in this product now. No reason to assume the rest isn't the same applied cretinism as the quoted sentence.

True, but the current state of advertising is, charitably, kinda goofy. I'm not surprised the iteration we're seeing now is perceived as failing: on the few remaining screens where…

It is amusing we pass laws to fix bad UX. But if it works, can't argue with it. I would like a law against unwanted popovers now please.

That, and filing false claims should be incredibly punishable, like beyond all proportion. One disgusting CEO landing behind the bars over frivolous DMCA takedown would improve thi…

OK yeah I didn't know they stopped allowing to root. Normal levels of DRM then, my mistake, you're right.

Neat, thanks for this correction! Interesting, an entire new programming language.

It's Android but without Google's services, there's an alternative app store. The irony of Chinese vendors providing a breath of fresh low-DRM air.

You will not. Have a nice day though! Now with more time to spend on positive things. :)

That group is against our political freedoms, so we're naturally against their political freedoms. Are we just doing tribalism and then intellectualizing? (I don't know what the an…

Yep -- and it's good. Before: customer pays fines for bad security, rolled into the price of the offering. After: customer pays for actual good security, rolled into the price of t…

This thread reads as an example of anything BUT plurality of opinion -- most of the people here never in their lives considered that the country in question has political discourse…

I wonder if by this thread's logic, it is now my turn to virtue signal as if I'm leaving Mullvad as a customer, because now you said that don't like someone else's freedom of consc…

Yes please! Making PII leaks an expense (like rent and cloud costs) means it's paid by the customer. I strongly believe we should distinguish the price of doing the operation (aka …

This is probably the most charitable explanation humanly possible. Surely for this specific example of managerial stupidity it just is, but I mean more generally, it's a beautiful …

Personally I'm (vaguely) anti-AI because I'm made to interface with it a lot. Every time I open my editor, there's another colorful popup about some AI feature or other, and it's n…

And in the end the big reveal is, it was a dude in VR all along, piloting the dumb things remotely. Every single time, without exception.

This is why I'm thankful for Chinese LLM research. They'll keep us honest.

Absolutely this, I'm the same as you. And I'm just afraid this is what cognitive decline feels like from inside the deteriorating mind.

From what I'm aware of -- not manslaughter. Compelled suicide or what's it called is substantially different, you always want to serve the sentence on this and not murder. (Not leg…

Well, it's entirely lawful until proven otherwise in court. So 100% clean behavior from this POV.

For most of the users on HN, the answer to "is bribe legal in your country?" would be a resounding "yup". US regulates over-the-table political bribes. Corporate political influenc…

I see the point, but nobody in their right mind would call a mere text message "please delete your work" to be malware, much like telling someone "please die" is very very differen…

> Truly feels like the UI/UX is done by people To me it feels like it's done entirely by an LLM, starting from the product vision.

This is so beautifully cursed, reusing the module loader state as your local state. We could have the familiar Python syntax of `from import ` And a custom import hook eating the e…
