Aldipower··on Fuck Android Developer Verification Program
yes, with the File System API, it needs user permission though (which is a good thing).
Aldipower··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
That's a bummer. Now I have to start over. </s>
Aldipower··on Tcl/Tk 9.1 Released
This is very cool! The name alone. :-)
Aldipower··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
I once had an O'Really book named 'Perl/Tk'. I mean, I still have it somewhere... I've the feeling reading through it will maybe become my AI recovery therapy at some point?
Aldipower··on Ask HN: Who's still keeping a DOS machine up because the business depends on it?
The Detusche Bahn still runs DOS and Window 3.11 in their ICE I trains! They searched for admins 2 years ago. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/ms-dos-and-win...
Aldipower··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
You got all that from two sentences? I think you are reading a bit too much into it.
Aldipower··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
Sure.
Aldipower··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
This is the next level of PowerPoint presentations. I just had a look at the example videos. Really, what is gained here?

Back in the days, when I made websites or home pages for clients, my first question was: "What's your message you want to tell with your website?" Sometimes the client couldn't answer this, because he simply wanted a website for the sake of having a website. But a website without a message is meaningless more or less.

Aldipower··on AI and the Destruction of the Creative Commons
Thanks, I forget this sometimes.
Aldipower··on Sublime Text Build 4213
I worked in VSC for 7 years and went back to Sublime Text today! VSC became so slow and overreaching..
Aldipower··on AI and the Destruction of the Creative Commons
The is a US-centric perspective.
Aldipower··on ZCode, the GLM coding agent, silently uploads your Git history
That the article cannot distinguish between the git history 'git log' and the git repository, which is meant here, tells a lot.

Claude Fable uploads my git history (git log) every day to the Anthropic servers!

Aldipower··on Backups Aren't Simple
Using this in production for 5 years now. We have a replicated MongoDB and one replica lives on a ZFS doing snapshot backups via syncoid. Love it.
Aldipower··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash Is Now Our Best Hacking Model
You can have 100 runs for the price of the Claude Max plan?
Aldipower··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
That means Angel Merkel for president, my friend! :-D Harharhar. Just kidding.
Aldipower··on Learning Programming in an Age of LLMs
I still differentiate between code monkeys, coders, programmers, hackers and software developers/engineers. Software development is not coding alone, you need to follow best practices and principles to create a stable, maintainable and trustworthy product, one that _you_ or your company owns. Maybe "code monkeys" (which is a minority) are replaceable. But for now, LLM cannot have a wider vision for your products future. The willingness of building something durable is totally human. To make this possible professional software developers are still mandatory and they will be for a long time. And yes, I think is it possible to learn those best practice and principle without coding. But I think this is very hard and boring.
Aldipower··on Australia 'on the same page' as Canada as it seeks deeper EU alliance
Is Schen-zen a city in China?

Edit: The OP wrote 'schenzen' instead of 'schengen' before. That was the joke. Invisible now.

Aldipower··on Jabber/XMPP: How Do We Gain Traction?
I remember when I connected my XMPP client, Pidgin I think, to the Facebook XMPP server and all my Facebook "friends" appeared in Pidgin as chat contacts. That were the times. Eventually Facebook turned this possibility off...

Probably the Facebook chat is still XMPP internally even today.

Aldipower··on Jabber/XMPP: How Do We Gain Traction?
This is true. Telegram is fast, stable and has some leading and meaningful features. On mobile AND desktop.
Aldipower··on Show HN: 1080p is 920px tall – 1k real browser viewports
Interesting information, but useful? No. You need to layout this way _no-one_ is excluded.
Aldipower··on Airbnb Preventing the Use of BnB
There are BnBs all over around in Britain. Good luck with suing them.
Aldipower··on Registration without a phone number on Signal will use zero-knowledge proofs
Yes. Google is even worse imho.
Aldipower··on Registration without a phone number on Signal will use zero-knowledge proofs
This is the news for me!
Aldipower··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
Interesting. So this means the new google.com/goto will exclude Kagi from the results?
Aldipower··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
Kagi is mostly based on Bing and Google results, officially by API and not scraped, and ranked by there own mechanism I think.
Aldipower··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
Just tried Yandex again, after a long time, and indeed it was a blast from the past, in a positive sense! So many real search results, which transports the feel of an authentic mirror of the web contents. Default search engine from now on! Thanks for the hint.
Aldipower··on Hacker News with reduced priority for AI driven content
That is totally fine and understandable.
Aldipower··on Hacker News with reduced priority for AI driven content
So what now? That's how you do it in real life too, don't you? Sure, real life isn't exactly IRC, hehe, but you get the point.
Aldipower··on Hacker News with reduced priority for AI driven content
Not really, you can ask in the chat room for an invitation.
