You're not wrong, but with anything digital it's as easy as moving outside the country. With the EU being one and many at the same time, all you need is to set up shop in Bulgaria …

It's funny and sad to see polite people run into scammers. I witnessed to a young man being almost unable to keep saying "no" for the 20th time to an insistent seller on a beach. W…

Essentially useless. My country also banned them and has a "do not call" registry, doesn't stop scammers from calling my phone non-stop. Also legally speaking all you need is "Chec…

What does that have to do with the general state of the whole industry? "Scamming" rarely falls into proper "jobs" anyway.

50K users isn't a lot. To me you're just one of those "bring the old Y back" users who will eventually forget that "the old Y" isn't worth it anymore. Anyway, yes, surely "search" …

I read this a lot. My explanation is that it does not cause it but it does place you in silent environment (via noise cancellation) more often than you're used to, and that's exact…

What's google search? The product as we know it is effectively dead. There is no future in which the URL bar isn't just an AI chat input. It's up to the model to search for you, if…

To be fair this mostly happens on my OSS repos where I'm bombarded by junk AI PRs by people who never bother to actually read and talk like a human. So I scold them, block them and…

I guarantee that the major players will offer straight-to-CEO interfaces where the user provides ALL info and AI will proceed to orchestrate the entire company, from finances to de…

Any change is a breaking change. The release cleaned things up, this inevitably led to deprecated parts being dropped and unwanted/undefined/outdated behavior being changed. Just b…

Here's my plan: It's gotten to a point where if I see valid `code` in responses I assume it's AI junk output and I scold the commenter.

You guys are using protection?

It's kinda funny. My life switched to English when I was around 18 and, while my family still speaks my native language exclusively, everything I've learned since then I don't know…

Keys can be reused from anywhere. Trusted publishing means the attacker must trigger the specific workflow on GitHub , which is more difficult and leaves trace of actions on GitHub…

IGP? They should put European cheese on it. Fresh notes would have to smell like their picture, by law. Dad, can I have a Gorgonzola 20? Best I can do is a Casu Marzu 5.

Faces and buildings objectively make for ugly currency. Birds are somewhat okay, they disregard borders. I would have preferred more varied fauna or flora. Just take a look at Mald…

Could be that they lack details at this point, but I rate them all from trash to less-trash. Switzerland has had some outstanding bills forever right in the center of Europe, but t…

> the new owner can't spy on my viewing Quick question: how do you distinguish content blocker extensions from regular extensions? All the Adblockers I know have to use both to be …

What am I looking at? Switzerland is just a black line mess. The average temperature is lower in Fribourg and you can confirm by looking at actual historical data, which is what Ge…

Huh? Fribourg is literally colder, especially in September.

I saw a banana tree with green bananas in Fribourg Switzerland in September 2025. According to Gemini this city is much colder than Essex, and yet.

How do you prevent hostile takeovers? That's the core issue here. Owner X died and the next 6 contributors don't care about the project. Here comes Ron, with his 3 PRs from 2020, s…

Just yesterday I mentioned how we need better OS-level sandboxes and I got laughed at here on HN. People love running AI software with root access.

Hello, are you aware that ALL the software you run on your computer can silently access your clipboard? Have you ever copied sensitive data? Perhaps a password? Anyway, what I'm as…
