This is absolutely great work Fulco! Good starter and looking forward to contribute to it.

absqueuedon Developer account removed by Apple

Curious, do you think the mentality of buyers would be "I just paid, so it s 5"?

And I am glad you didn't do it. I personally find it so annoying. I am do ask for reviews but lemme use it for a while first?

absqueuedon Developer account removed by Apple

Reading a few reviews on the playstore of this apps - instantly tells me that something is off.

Asking for review after 20 second of app installation? Also most 5 star reveiw looks fake.

absqueuedon Claude 2.1

This so called AI is still only released in "United States" and not outside yet!

Not infuriating at all.

absqueuedon Ask HN: How Is Yahoo Still Functioning and Relevant in Today's Tech Landscape?

Do they have some sort of TV presence or its just internet?

I do not live in the US so have no idea, I do see their Youtube videos much alike a news broadcasters.

absqueuedon Government bans TikTok in Nepal

That's becuse my nation is Tiny :)

absqueuedon EU data regulator bans personalised advertising on Facebook and Instagram

I disagree.

EU data practices differ significantly from tech giants; they're governed by strict GDPR rules, requiring consent for personal data processing.

No EU nation systematically tracks citizens like tech companies do for ads.

It's difficult to compare the data collection practices of EU nations directly with those of large tech companies like Facebook or Google, there are some parallels and distinctions to be made.

The encryption debate is separate, focusing on balancing privacy with security.

My take (being in EU) is that with weaker encryption, the EU tries to balance privacy with law enforcement needs, aiming to curb illicit communications while raising privacy concerns.

absqueuedon Ask HN: If you were to build a web app today what tech stack would you choose?

Lately its been Fastify, Postgres and Svelte Kit.

Also tried Remix for a few smaller projects - didnt really fly but was quick to develop.

Fastify has been game changer for me.

absqueuedon How to stop the “login with Google” pop up window?

I think showing these options + login (with Goo...) would have been such a good use case if I, as a user visited the login or sign up page.

absqueuedon Kangaroo tendons could rebuild human knees better, stronger

I need one, I just ruptured my ACL.

absqueuedon The viral AI avatar app Lensa undressed me – without my consent

AI of our era so far is working solely based on a trained model and haven't evolved beyond the "data" behind training. All the material fed to train the AI machine leads to this mess.

I heard Sam (OpenAI founder) talk about current state of AI, we are far from AI making its own concious decisions.

absqueuedon The viral AI avatar app Lensa undressed me – without my consent

Yup, I actually got it on a newsletter, intesting take though about the marketing stunt. I trust the MIT Tech review and the HN.

absqueuedon Ask HN: Why “hello world” and “foo:bar”?

This is a gem :).

Clearly explains = " ... FUBAR (`Fucked Up Beyond All Repair'), later modified to foobar".

absqueuedon Ask HN: Why “hello world” and “foo:bar”?

In that sense, foobar, or fubar literally means "terrible"?

absqueuedon Tell HN: Press Win and G

Win + P is cool

Found out Win + . opens emoji panel.

absqueuedon Tell HN: Press Win and G

Opened up Game bar.

But ignore the game streaming feature. You could use this to record screen with audio and do a mix between multiple sound sources.
