What a major victory for birds all across the globe. A feather is not ours to steal and parade around as if it’s our own culture. Maybe the ASF could replace this with a lock of hu…

Anecdotally, Firefox has always been faster than Chrome on MacOS for me. Great to see it’s only getting even better.

Give LLMs five more years and this won't be an issue. The fact that it even gets close is seriously impressive. For people like me who aren't sysadmins, but simply have to do maint…

Out of all the monthly subscriptions I have, YouTube Premium is by far my favourite. I don’t see an issue with paying for something I use so much everyday. Let’s be real, at this p…

It used to work this way on iOS until they absolutely butchered the text cursor functionality with IIRC iOS 15.

This is a great example of how bad the UX has gotten for at-home music playback.

The GUI is buggy to say the least, but the actual torrent transfers are faster in every step of the way compared to Transmission 3.x in my testing.

Nice proof of concept. Might be good enough for basic visualisations but once you det into labelling it becomes unwieldy.

I think the developers at T-Mobile are equally pissed off about this. But with Firefox market share sitting at 3.5% in the US, it no longer makes business sense to spend the extra …

Not a disease? That's down to semantics and personal opinion. What isn't opinion is the fact that the symptoms of ADHD have been objectively identified on a global scale, in people…

How do you do this specifically? Do you use some kind of bridging software or do you make a shim for each plugin that loads Wine on the fly?

I recently bought a "t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini" which is an inexpensive hardware DSP box capable of the same. I just have it sitting between my soundcard and some active speakers. Gives…

TikTok and YouTube are fundamentally different and serve no danger to each other. Nobody's watching a 25-minute video on TikTok.

Hot take - the YouTube Music suggestions algorithm is miles ahead of Spotify and Apple music if your tastes deviate a bit from mainstream music.

> "Driving me away from the platform" Lol. Where else are you going to go? YouTube is a de facto monopoly when it comes to self-published shortform videos. The consequences of the …

Don't spend all the money you save doing this at once!

Of course I would prefer a native app, but I don't think it is unreasonable of me to expect a web app to: - Respect the UI conventions of web browsers and not override standard beh…

I've yet to hear the fans in mine, 9 months in. I can actually use it on my lap without scalding my legs. Battery life is so good that I rarely bring my charger along with me anymo…

There's no question that it's still highly in demand, but as a user I despise React apps. Not that there's anything wrong with the technology - well-written React with minimal depe…

I would argue that any HTML + CSS framework stack is inherently flawed once you move beyond the most basic of UI components. I have yet to work on a React + Tailwind codebase in th…

A lot of organizations bet the farm on React ~5 years ago because it was the cool new thing. It is very likely that many of the original developers have since moved on to the next …

April Fools idea: enforce this on HN for 24 hours and watch the chaos

Thought the same thing. This must not be an issue on Windows either?

Ha, I was just about to make a comment about how the Ableton interface is a perfect example of a dense UI still going strong. Wish I could say the same for most new VST plugins tha…

A good argument I've heard is that in Europe, when people got their first mobile phone contracts, you were charged per SMS message, whereas in the US, unlimited texting was include…
