Supercompressor··on A joke domain purchase turned in geopolitical warfare
Hahhh.. Thank you.
Supercompressor··on A joke domain purchase turned in geopolitical warfare
Worked on a very basic level with my Logi webcam, but couldn't get it to detect my MX Master 4 despite a few attempts. A shame, I'd love to escape Logi+ for a feature-parity solution.

I disagree. To me, it's clear from how comprehensive the site is that they are very invested in the editorial outcomes of what they've published.

Had no idea, that is cool! Thanks for pointing this out.

Like the icon. Like the name. Like the concept.

Not something I would pay to use, but I'm sure this would be useful to others.

Wish you luck.

Appreciated - thank you.

I've been looking for the opposite - wanting to dump text and it be read to me, coherently. Anyone have good recommendations?

Supercompressor··on Bird brains (2023)
Domestication ≠ habitat classification. Alpine refers to habitat. Kea live, feed, and breed in alpine environments and are behaviourally adapted to it. By your logic, because my ancestors ~300 years ago aren’t from New Zealand, I’m not a New Zealander.

Kiwi here. They live in alpine regions, they have adapted to alpine life - how are they not alpine parrots? Go back far enough and you could make this argument about anything.

If you'd like to read a long-form version of this, take a look at Jennifer Ackerman's "The Bird Way" from 2020. Really loved this book.

Also, just my opinion, but Kea's are the best bird there is.

Free now isn't free forever. If something has inherent value then folks will be willing to pay for it.

If you dismiss and respond something like "proceed" it resumes. Takes a fair while to actually run out of usage.
Supercompressor··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
There would be so much subjectivity to this. I like the idea but executing in a reliable, repeatable way would be very challenging imo.
Supercompressor··on Maintaining a Music Library, Ten Years On
I'm in the same boat as you, even with a botched migration about 12-14 years ago and am really passionate about this stance. I've lately been getting further enjoyment from thrifting CDs and ripping FLAC upgraded tracks to my library, overwriting old 128kb/s fuzz. Actually have been at this for about 3 years now and around 1200 ripped. I try now to only listen to those albums + bandcamp, etc purchases where possible.

FYI the ticketing time is showing incorrectly out of Pacific time, e.g. here in Eastern all recent activity shows as 3 hours ago. Not a big deal as almost all users would be in Pacific, but wanted to mention.

Great work though, this is rad.

Supercompressor··on Menstrual tracking app data is gold mine for advertisers that risks women safety
Safety and privacy are so closely linked for this usage to be feasible, especially with how available and identifiable anonymised data can be.

This is mentioned in the link.
Supercompressor··on Seagate: 'new' hard drives used for tens of thousands of hours
The headline makes this out to be deception by Seagate but the article reads as if it's just one shady, but approved distributor who's sneaking these out as new drives.
