RonanMcGovern··on Ask HN: AI tool for making seasonal avatars
much appreciated! thanks
RonanMcGovern··on Sure, it didn't work for Email, XMPP, Diaspora, but maybe it'll work for us
I appreciated this piece but didn't fully understand what solution is being advocated.

Is the proposal to have non-federated/compatible social networks, but then have clients that capable of posting to/reading from each? The client would be some form of Twitter/Insta/Tiktok aggregator?

RonanMcGovern··on When your country is 96.5% desert – you have a desert law
Seems Egyptian individuals can own up to a max of about 150 acres of desert.
RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Fed Up Inflation Game
it's loading but needs more instructions or intuitive interface to know what to do. How do I win/lose?
RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Red Alert – Get notified about insolvencies of crypto exchanges
cool that you've got the proof of reserves in there too

If you're interested in running your own personal server.
RonanMcGovern··on Survey of workers’ views on salary transparency
Seems it would depend on the economic conditions... and demand for that job.

Also seems it would depend how much more they earn

RonanMcGovern··on El Salvador had their Bitcoin on FTX, demand extradition of SBF
Fake news? CZ is saying he spoke to Bukele and El Salvador didn't have funds with FTX....

RonanMcGovern··on The lawsuit against Microsoft, GitHub and OpenAI that could change rules of AI
Yeah what happens if sections of GNU GPL code are copied - surely that makes the new code GNU GPL?
RonanMcGovern··on USDC Loses Peg
Just to clarity - USDC is trading slightly above peg.

Meanwhile, USDT is below peg.

Def more concerning to be below than above

RonanMcGovern··on Handy tool for deleting historical tweets
I don't do this at the moment but seems worth considering
RonanMcGovern··on Proposal for new rules on short-term accommodation rentals in EU
Seems to be more about data gathering than rules for the accommodation itself.

More centralisation of data is always something I look out for as concerning. In this case, I'm unsure if it's a problem - could indeed be a benefit.

RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Financial Scraped Data
Howdy, cool tool.

- The earnings page shows all companies - would be better to filter. - It's not intuitive that you have to put the ticker/symbol into the box in financials. Could be better labelled. - Where is the data pulled from? - Would be cool if you could pull data on insider owners and largest shareholders

RonanMcGovern··on Twitter asks some laid off workers to come back
If true, seems to me many would not accept. Although perhaps they would get a pay rise + some may value a job if they see a recession impending.

Overall, seems very odd, and if true very bad management.

RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Bruno – open-source API Client (alternative to postman))
This is cool. Congrats.

What are the key benefits of being open source? Worth highlighting on your site?

RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Handy Checklists for Personal Digital Security
Howdy, it's Ronan.

A good few of my friends have had their accounts hacked.

So, I make a point of reviewing all my accounts every quarter.

I've developed detailled checklists and now made them into a product.

Please let me know ideas for improvements on the product!

RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Create and manage Ethereum payment links
thanks, appreciate that feedback.
RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Create and manage Ethereum payment links
Yeah good idea. What parameters would you want to be configurable on the widget a) by the customer and b) on the back end by devs?
RonanMcGovern··on Show HN: Create and manage Ethereum payment links
Hi folks, I'm Ronan!

Try out Trelis by connecting any Ethereum wallet.

-> Create and manage payment links from the dashboard

-> Optionally, manage payment links with our API

-> If you have an ENS, that will appear on your payment links

-> Customers pay your links by connecting any Ethereum wallet

~

Where did I get the idea:

* I built building a crypto tax website.

* We spent lots of dev time building payment modals.

* It would have been cool to have that off the shelf

~

Some FAQs:

+ Trelis doesn't charge a fee on transactions

+ Trelis is non-custodial and has no access to your funds.

~

My ask: Suggestions for improvements and what features to prioritise.
