agentdrtran··on Ask HN: My Google account was hacked, Google says they can't help
Enabling two-factor can help, but if you are the victim of a phishing attack as many are, one would expect one of the largest tech companies on the planet to have a plan for that.
agentdrtran··on My transition from Windows to Linux in an anti-customer age
LibreOffice is nowhere near Office or even Google Docs levels of quality, ease of use, or features, and the gap only widens each year.
agentdrtran··on Teaching is a slow process of becoming everything you hate
I would be willing to bet that most of the politicians/ceos/etc that currently lie to everyone's face and went to harvard/yale didn't need to cheat their way through and didn't bother more often than not.

People doing what's best for them can be very evil for others, like the fact that buildings full of lead paint and lead-leaking pipes have not been fixed.

Every single person with JS disabled browses HN
agentdrtran··on Fire extinguished at Ukraine nuclear power plant, Europe's largest
"We just have to get rid of autocrats and authoritarianism"

Is that all? We can get that done with a new app I think.

agentdrtran··on A Winner-Takes-All MMO-SAT
I was disappointed to see MSCHF move from doing a lot of making physical stuff to making mostly raffles/lotteries like this.
agentdrtran··on The underground economy of solitary confinement
this has never been the case in US prisons
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Snipd – AI podcast player to highlight and take notes with transcripts
All podcasts, all from patreon/acast even I think
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Snipd – AI podcast player to highlight and take notes with transcripts
any word on snipping coming to private RSS feeds? all of my most listened to pods are private
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Simula One – Portable Linux VR Computer
I am not ready for anything like this but it's very cool! I can't wait to see how it develops.
agentdrtran··on Vanced: YouTube adblocker for Android
Is it truly voluntary when everything you want to watch is only available on youtube? there's no way for an individual to pay or do anything for an alternative option.
agentdrtran··on 1Password for SSH and Git (Beta)
What's changing? It's been filling passwords for me just fine in browsers for years, if anything it's gotten better about it. The problems you cite with it not finding the right login happen with other managers too and they aren't as good about it.
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Shortwave: Enjoy Your Inbox
Why no delete button?
agentdrtran··on Ask HN: What did Marc Andreessen mean by this?
it's still got some hackers and founders, if you're looking for financiers looking to extract value rather than build this may not be the place.
agentdrtran··on Ask HN: Why is Firefox losing marketshare and how would you save it?
The amount of people saying "listen to power users" in this thread seem to have read the questions as "what do I want Firefox to do"

Discord and signal are completely different apps for very different use cases.
agentdrtran··on uBlock Origin 1.41
Bypass Paywalls is a great extension that does this automatically.

agentdrtran··on Is this the end of the Cannonball Run?
run-ending but not life or bank-account -ending
agentdrtran··on The dangers of high status, low wage jobs
This has been trialed several places before and never taken off, the type of people willing to engage in micropayments at all, but who will never subscribe at any price point, seems to be quite small.
agentdrtran··on Are Product Hunt's featured products still online today?
I would love a PH where you have to show off an actual product (instead of blogspam guides, design resources, etc, even though these can be useful)
agentdrtran··on The unlimited storage that Google promised my university is being discontinued
Logging in Drive is pretty robust (backups are not). There's a few tools that can move that level of data, but google's now-first-party migrate product could likely handle it.
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Tally Forms – A free Typeform alternative
I love Tally so far, excellent product
agentdrtran··on Can a $310M startup avoid due diligence?
How does this differ from competitors outside of backups being included?
agentdrtran··on Mergers ruin everything
> which is just assuming the existence of a consolidated industry.

Well, consolidated industries currently exist, and they don't take too kindly to competition.

agentdrtran··on Mergers ruin everything
> The counterargument is that this only happens in markets with high barriers to entry, which in turn are mostly caused by regulatory barriers.

There are hundreds of entire industries that have gigantic barriers to entry no matter what the regulations are. Covering the country in cell towers, building fleets of container ships, designing an operating systems and full suite of applications — these things aren't cheap

agentdrtran··on Signal users can give a recurring monthly contribution
I understand that use case, but for most people that's horrible as they don't take care of their passwords very well.
