"I heard the author gets very defensive of his design choices: good, I wish we had more opinionated app developers in FOSS."

I love Calibre, but isn't this every FOSS project.

Citizen_Lame··on Show HN: Uncracked City, detective game where you question LLM suspects that lie
"It's a fair point"

At least don't use AI to reply. I get this whole game is entirely AI made and that's fine. But I just wonder how much effort did you put to make sure it's fun and human playable.

Citizen_Lame··on Proton to 'Re-Interview' Staff About AI to See Who Gets to Keep Their Job
Well CEO was already big Trump supporter. If that didn't put you off, AI is perfectly fine.
Citizen_Lame··on Proton to 'Re-Interview' Staff About AI to See Who Gets to Keep Their Job

Citizen_Lame··on Software may be getting worse, but it used to be horrible
Probably his own vibe coded stuff.
Citizen_Lame··on What goes into making an animated film?
This has nothing to do with animation, it's pure AI slop. Everything is bland, characters, story etc. I've seen far better AI videos.

What about additional options available in Krea 2 (creativity, intensity, complexity, movement)? Will these find their way back once Krea 3 is officially released?
Citizen_Lame··on Smart people don't think others are stupid (2012)
You can't really relativise an absolute stupidity. Well, I guess you can up to a certain point, but then reality catches up.
Citizen_Lame··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
What is obsession with the light, that's like lowest consumer of electricity, also telly doesn't use much unless it's a really big one. Heating, cooking and appliances use the most, and people are definitely careful when using those, especially heating during the winter. Seems like you don't live in the UK.
Citizen_Lame··on Apple and a hacker's future
It depends I guess, on how competent and creative you are. I am not against AI per se, but when I see boring, zero investment, generic AI slop, there is no value in it, hence I won't invest time reading it.
Citizen_Lame··on Scam American companies are using to manipulate ingredient lists
But as you can see from replies crowd here is from TikTok as well. Sadly HN is in downward spiral.

ToS can't trump the actual law.
Citizen_Lame··on Apple and a hacker's future
Exactly. The audience used to be tinkerers, people who liked getting their hands dirty. Now it's mostly bros of one stripe or another (AI bros, finance bros, and so on).
Citizen_Lame··on Apple's smart home camera reportedly won't record video
Privacy was simply a marketing scheme, not an actual conviction.
Citizen_Lame··on Firebase SDK is CRASHING ALLLL iOS Apps, since today morning
Bean counters took over, now it's maximum profit extraction until slow decline takes over. Decline in profit mind you, their software and service quality took a dive a while ago.
Citizen_Lame··on On caring for user data: NeoVim caused Vim undo files to be deleted
This guy you are arguing with is classic troll, he does it on every topic. Just ignore and don't reply.
Citizen_Lame··on Plunging test scores are a slow-moving catastrophe
Everything is a wave and there are always oscillations.
Citizen_Lame··on Plunging test scores are a slow-moving catastrophe
IQ is not measure of intelligence, it's more like curriculum test if you go into history of test and how it started.
Citizen_Lame··on Why 'What's Opera, Doc?' looks like that
Sure, but this is an animation studio. How very HN bro response.

Citizen_Lame··on Claude Opus 5.5
What are you Dario's language police?
Citizen_Lame··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.1 Pro are pure rubbish. Very little thinking, mediocre and usually incorrect results. They cannot be compared to frontier models.
Citizen_Lame··on Why I didn’t sign the Fields medallists’ letter
You are arguing with the bot, but it's stil disappointing to see the rise of anti-intellectualism and in general fear of abstract thinking here on HN.
Citizen_Lame··on Mistral X Mozilla: Private, Multilingual AI Browsing
> Firefox is already using small local models for a few things, like tab grouping and link previews

Which I immediately disabled alongside their "improved" Nova design, cause it doesn't improve productivity. These are all distractions from web browsing. If they want to improve anything, they should work on their abysmal spell checker, but that's not shiny enough.

Citizen_Lame··on Leaving Proton Mail
Is this satire, it's hard to tell these days on the Interweb? Or are you simply thick as a brick? Very confusing.

Those were downed by Ukraine. Not, that facts matter to Russian bot. Well done comrade.
Citizen_Lame··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
So just ignore the reality, that Gemini (and yes even 3.8 Flash) is worst of all major LLMs across most metrics? But that's fine, because reasons?
Citizen_Lame··on Is it time for a Luddite Renaissance?
Cyberpunk Luddite - carries an illegal military-grade EMP grenade strictly for when the smart fridge tries to make small talk.
Citizen_Lame··on The UN challenges five centuries of cartography
Do you even why the Mercator projection is still being used? And no, it's not a mistake.
Citizen_Lame··on Automattic's board forces CEO Matt Mullenweg into leave of absence
I guess Hacker News went full Reddit, we have mentally unwell (self proclaimed mind you) commentors proclaiming other people mentally ill. The irony.
