Thank you! Didn't know Hermes. I will give it a try.
average_r_user··on Claude Status – Elevated errors for multiple models
I'm still waiting for Anthropic or OpenAI to release their take on OpenClaw.

Meanwhile, Meta's MUSE seems to be gaining traction in the US, while those of us in the EU are once again left watching from the sidelines.

Client-side reservations are one of those features that looked like the future when Google showed them on Pixel. Years later, I'm still waiting for the iOS ecosystem to catch up

I agree. The numbers need to go up every year without thinking about the health of the economy, and the Average Joe is delusional.

"After five years at Shopify, employees get a paid month off to do whatever the hell they want. I took mine in April 2026. Thanks Tobi!"
average_r_user··on The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee (1830)
This may not be strictly related, but my personal experience aligns with that. If I drink coffee after lunch, I get very sleepy and have my usual bowel movements. If I drink it after dinner, I become overstimulated and can’t sleep at all (which I realize is fairly typical). For context, I’m referring to classic Italian espresso.

True, I hadn't framed it that way either, but it makes sense. Sometimes just stepping away from the usual rhythm creates its own kind of reset
average_r_user··on A macOS app that blurs your screen when you slouch
Alas, I'm not alone in meditating and thinking while taking a shower. It's one of the moments of my day when I recollect what happened, what I need to do, and what not to do.

The problem is that I can get quite lost during this phase, and hot water isn't cheap, so my SO is always threatening to put a big timer in the bathroom.

average_r_user··on Apple testing new App Store design that blurs the line between ads and results
I can’t confirm that exact percentage, but yes—“prime” placements on Amazon are driven by Amazon Ads.

Do you have a direct link without the paywall?
average_r_user··on My game's server is blocked in Spain whenever there's a football match on
They pulled the plug on the project almost right away. Apparently, it had something to do with YouTube not being able to limit the live stream to Southeast Asian countries without it leaking to the rest of the world—where you’d need a pricey subscription to watch the game.
average_r_user··on Scamlexity: When agentic AI browsers get scammed
I find it both surprising and, fortunately, reassuring that despite how easy it is to buy inexpensive components on platforms like Amazon, Temu, or AliExpress, we have yet to see a wave of terrorist attacks in the busiest public spaces.
average_r_user··on Is moderate drinking healthy? Scientists say the idea is outdated
In Italy, cigarette packs carry shocking pictures of diseased lungs, tumors, and other severe health effects, yet they fail to deter smokers. It’s essentially a cultural problem.
average_r_user··on AI crawlers, fetchers are blowing up websites; Meta, OpenAI are worst offenders
I suppose that they just keep referring to the website in their chats, and probably they have selected the search function, so before every reply, the crawler hits the website

Could you point me to some European banks that integrate your product? My current bank doesn't have something similar, and I would like to have an option to view all my subscriptions at a glance
average_r_user··on Fairphone 6 is switching to a new design that's even more sustainable
Thanks! I didn't notice it because I only have manual mail fetch. But I did notice frequent crashes of the app when you open heavy email (e.g with lots of images)
average_r_user··on Fairphone 6 is switching to a new design that's even more sustainable
Genuine Question: What problem did you encounter within the Mail App?
average_r_user··on Adobe Project Indigo is a new photo app from former Pixel camera engineers
I really love this app, but I'm not a fan of the subscription model. While I understand the business reasoning, I'd much prefer having the option to purchase individual presets instead of committing to a full subscription.

I recently used the B/W preset by Greg Williams during my trip to Iceland, and the results were fantastic. The grainy texture it added to my photos was exactly what I was looking for and really enhanced the dramatic Icelandic landscapes.

average_r_user··on WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook
I'm still waiting for the integration of messages from 3rd party apps under the DMA discipline (e.g you can message with someone on telegram from whatsapp)

Quite interesting, do you have some documentation of your platform and capabilities? Your landing page is quite synthetic
average_r_user··on U.S. nuclear base hidden under Greenland's ice for decades
I think it's a personal preference. I personally like very subtle references to the classic trilogy: a non-fan can still follow the scene without problems, but for a fan, the same scene can carry a stronger impact and deeper meaning.

I believe this more intense effect, at least for me, stems from the connection to the unique 'pathos' of the original three films. That's my two cents.

Can confirm, peak Star Wars. All the references to the original movies are on point
average_r_user··on Gemini 2.5 Flash
I'm experiencing the same problem with my Google Home ecosystem. One day I can turn off the living room lights with the simple phrase "Turn off Living Room Lights," and then randomly for two straight days it doesn't understand my command
average_r_user··on Google begins testing AI-only search results
Google has caught a serious case of FOMO. Every major/minor player is scrambling to blend search with LLMs.
average_r_user··on Show HN: I built a Free price comparison tool for Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress
Did you find some walls put in place by these sites to block scraping?

I have a little project like that written in R that has surprisingly worked well over a year without maintenance but some marketplace were off-limits without specific proxies

Tinfoil hat mode: "What if" this results from a foreign influence?

But I guess that you don't need to find answers externally when stupidity is a much simpler reason
