There are ways to tell if an image is real, if it's been signed cryptographically by the camera for example, but increasingly it probably won't be possible to tell if something is …

I understand there are nuances here, and I may be oversimplifying, but if part of the contract effectively says "You must act as a proxy for npmjs.com" yet the site has been return…

This is weird - at this level contracts are supposed to be rock solid so why wouldn't they require accurate status reporting? That's trivial to implement, and you can even require …

Maybe because in airports people are sometimes required to walk long distances to go from one point to another, while in a city there are public transport, bicycles, taxis, etc. pl…

Congratulations on the release Johan! We definitely need alternatives to Nextcloud and looks like Sync-in could do that job and more. Does it currently support plugins, or is it pl…

As always network effect will be the problem. I know plenty of people on WhatsApp and almost nobody on Signal

Is that macOS and Apple Silicon only? In this case indeed it's a no-brainer not to use Electron (why even use it in the first place?). If you ever want to support Intel processors,…

Would be more interesting if the link was encrypted client-side using the provided key. That wouldn't change the UX much and it means you can guarantee that the shared URL will rem…

I can't find the reference now, but I think I read somewhere it only redirects when the user got there by clicking on an ad. In that case it would make a bit more sense - the scrip…

One example is the calendar that keeps getting worse release after release, so much that I had to switch to macOS calendar. Global Inbox also got broken several years ago and never…

I don't know if that's his use case, but we had many users tell us they share their account with other users so they want the data to be encrypted even when logged in. Of course if…

If AWS and other cloud providers gave if only 0.1% of the profit they generate out of these open source projects back to the developers we probably wouldn't have this problem. Unfo…

Getting a chargeback in Stripe is costly. As soon as a dispute is started there's a fixed $25 that won't be refunded even if you win the dispute. So for a service at $4 a month whi…

Shouldn't use the term "web browser" when it's Chrome-only.

Not really, there's a lot of "perhaps" and "maybe" in those sentences unlike in the title. And indeed there's no reason to think dark UX patterns do not work in the long run - Goog…

> The better UI would be for the circles to be visually connected somehow to illustrate that only one selection is possible like you have in physical switches with more than two po…

I flagged the post which I guess is what flags are for? (And somehow the author made it to front page but is not here to discuss his app as would be also be expected for a "Show HN…

Doesn't qualify as a "Show HN" - it's already been posted twice in the past few years and there's been no updates for more than a year [0]. Sounds like an attempt to get a few clic…

This is a strange article. I think the relevant part is "Because I like it", which is absolutely fine, that seems like a fun project. But whatever problem he's identified has alrea…

I'm not proud of that answer but to be fair there are also more balanced views in this thread. It's also an old thread and some of what's in there is no longer relevant. For exampl…

Yes I should have mentioned it's the mobile version
