It sounds like you are saying that this is reasonable in any kind of way, it's not. This is like Gmail deleting non-spam email after 30 days to prevent your inbox from filling up.

Do they always do this? I never had to present my passport as far as i can remember.

Telegram had always impressed me for the same reasons. They have constantly gotten worse since about 2022/2023 though. Dark patterns, pay gate, they lost chat history for some of m…

Cost of a car is extremely hard to predict, not just because of unexpected repairs but also because the price of gas is literally political. The train experience in Germany is as b…

Fantastic comment, thank you! I am going to dive into several of those sources and ideas.

Maybe not as extreme but I also always took great care of my hearing, wearing protection whenever I went out dancing when I was younger and never turning up my music to be nice and…

Yes, please dont post about any unpromoted venues on hacker news!

I don’t see anything indicating criticism in op’s comment, seems more like an expression of surprise.

They have this as an experimental feature (which is opt-in and I won't try it)

The article mentions `.vimrc`, which matches the format of the lines starting with `set ...` but that does not result in smooth scrolling for me.

Funny enough, OpenAI to this day violates EU requirements on price advertisement by charging VAT on top of the advertised price. They still owe me and every other customer in the E…

If you don't care about transparency your web app will not be transparent today. It takes effort. Same can be said for Wasm-based projects.

I would be interested in everyone's opinion on that 1 to 10 ratio ballpark number. What has your experience been like?

My fridge has pull-out shelves. They are very nice the 2x per year I use them.

I recently tried using Sony's (frustrating) Imaging Edge app to transfer photos from a camera to an iPad and gave it limited access and it refused to transfer images! When I change…

Look at TikTok for how it can be done. It's not perfect but it's used very widely and ties context together across videos.

This is how Reddit started. In the very beginning of the site the founders had a couple of accounts they would use to put content on the site. It's in Reddit's DNA so to speak.

Legally, yes. Morally, no, they can't do what they want. Users have invested time and effort over literally decades to build today's Reddit communities. Therefore, Reddit needs to …

Mastodon's account migration implementation has some serious issues. AFAIK you can't migrate without access to the original account, so if that instance shuts down you're out of lu…

For now, the modcoord subreddit functionally takes on the role of a union. I know that there have been times in the past when moderators were unhappy about the state of tools that …

Email has terrible thread navigation and I consider old.reddit.com with reddit enhancement suite the best in class.

Public networks are a lot more hostile than we realize while we have moderation armies at work. That may not be a sustainable model. I think the way forward is building the right t…

If any kind of common URL is established, it should not be served from root but a location like `/.well-known/{ai,robots,meta,whatever}.txt` in order not to clobber the root namesp…

There's only so many few letter combinations and we should reuse them.

You build what you want but when billions of people use a technology our governments should most definitely get involved. With scale comes responsibility.
