Refusing23··on Tell HN: I just updated my wife's Chrome, and uBlock is no longer supported
Only thing i miss from chrome, is ... compatibility. a lot of sites made in the past 15 years are focused on chrome-support. especially the government-websites i use (not US) but i just use another chrome-based browser for that. Firefox is my main-boy!

Refusing23··on Ultra-processed foods may drive colorectal cancer risk
I'm not at all shocked

cancer has generally only been something people have gotten since processed foods were invented.

Refusing23··on The Hottest New Coding Language Is English and It's Pissing Coders Off
You can easily program some simple stuff using AI

but being able to get EXACTLY UNT EXACTLY what you want... youre gonna need to be able to code, for that.

Also just pasting in code from an AI... it might work, but as soon as you try to make a larger system that communicates with other systems, youre gonna have a bad time.

and lets not forget.. do these non-coders know how to make sure youre code is safe, and all that jazz

Refusing23··on Ask HN: What email client are you truly happy with in 2024?
i like that i can just ignore my email completely, and only open it when i want to. so i use gmail in browser.

Refusing23··on Ask HN: How can we make restaurant menus better with tech?
I prefer paper menus

i dont like taking my phone out, and so i dont scan any qr code if i can avoid it. i wouldnt mind the qr code next to a menu item, that i can scan for super detailed list of incredients, for allergies etc

Refusing23··on Star Citizen crowdfunding passes $750M
Im still a bit disappointed that they keep increasing the scope

instead of just getting the promised game out the door, and then creating some large free content updates as time progresses.

its getting a bit redicilous

i mean, they have motion capture and voice acting from mark hamill and Gary oldman (and probably more) and they're gonna die before the game is released

forced veganism

Refusing23··on Police bust pirate streaming service making €250M per month
i guess the 10 billion is based off of how long the service had been running, and how many users they had

and some avg streaming service monthly cost

and then you get 10 billion

but that doesnt mean all the users would have spend money on netflix instead... loads of people who pirate arent potential customers to begin with.

and does it take into account the price difference from different countries? i doubt it

Refusing23··on Police bust pirate streaming service making €250M per month
So police should only prevent crimes that directly hurt people?

so bike thieves or shoplifters are just safe now?

Refusing23··on Police bust pirate streaming service making €250M per month

Refusing23··on Denmark will plant 1B trees and convert 10% of farmland into forest

Refusing23··on The PS5 Pro's biggest problem is that the PS5 is already good
The biggest problem, is the price point.

Refusing23··on M4 Max Geekbench: 4075/26616

Refusing23··on New Mac Mini with M4

if you use headphones all the time, you'd plug them into the back, or the monitor etc.
