defraudbah··on Linda Yaccarino is leaving X
I am more fascinated by grok rebellion than Nikita being hired. I still get a ton of bots daily, until that solved they can hire whomever they want. Grok and payounts have been the most fun things happened to twitter since acquisition
defraudbah··on SUSE launches new European digital sovereignty service to meet surging demand
yes, do you really believe more regulations help you?
defraudbah··on SUSE launches new European digital sovereignty service to meet surging demand
i am curious if you are from eu or ever tried to run a business here
defraudbah··on SUSE launches new European digital sovereignty service to meet surging demand
good luck to suse, hopefully denmark will be first to migrate to linux and stay there unlike other countries (germany i am looking at you).

other than that i don't really believe owning EU data is the battle we can win with more regulations. I bet in 10 years nothing will change, maybe a few more grants, a few more laws..

defraudbah··on SVGs that feel like GIFs
it does, however I use it to send short demos when needed. GIF is perfect, small size, resolution isn't critical, it's a perfect choice for me. I don't like sending 300Mb of video every time I have a small thing to demonstrate, GIFs on the other hand work like a charm. Which is why I am shopping for alternatives
defraudbah··on SVGs that feel like GIFs
anyone knows if it's possible to convert gif to svg or mp4? for instance, I'd like to share a screen recording in svg. It might sound like a dumb idea, maybe it is
defraudbah··on Ask HN: What useful AI tools do you use every day?
my contractors provide me paid versions and it's my choice which one to use. Most of the time I use them as a sanity check and autocomplete. Anytime I get to anything complex like writing rust - every AI is useless to different levels

PS. Maybe I am a bad example, since I don't even track with model was where. I tick different boxes and see which one works better. In general, not a good experience

defraudbah··on Sam Altman Slams Meta’s AI Talent Poaching: 'Missionaries Will Beat Mercenaries'
Millionaires will beat missionaries, that's how zuck sees it and I cannot say he's wrong
defraudbah··on Ask HN: What useful AI tools do you use every day?
i find grok far superior to chatgpt and copilot, but none of them worth more than $10/m. I am about to switch to agents and pro subscription level because I've heard good feedback about those. AI is perfect at small and easy tasks
defraudbah··on A new PNG spec
this is good news, any packages who support new png standard or planning to? rust/go/python/js?
defraudbah··on No Hello
do we have a version for this to people who call you out of blue? they have a single question and could type it out or email you, instead than ring to you

if you don't have the power to tell people to f- off, the only option left is to accept it and either play their game or ignore a type of behavior you don't want to reward

defraudbah··on No Hello
it does not, some people don't understand it. I tried every trick and one guy was still sending his hello's because it was the way he communicated. I told him twice, literally, that he cannot just say hello and wait for me to reply, and he apologized and still didn't get it.

the only working option is to ignore such people, you cannot teach people with reasoning, it never works

defraudbah··on Progressive JSON
nah, I got enough with TCP
defraudbah··on I like Svelte more than React (it's store management)
the end example is the same as zustand, no?

svelte has earned it's place and the more people use it - the better. I couldn't find a reason to switch, same with ember in early days, same with any handlebars go/php/rust etc. We live in the era when it's enough to learn one UI framework and just ship things.

Good post though, I wish it had more examples so

defraudbah··on Show HN: Loodio 2 – A Simple Rechargable Bathroom Privacy Device
I remember the first release, many years ago. Happy to see business still operating and growth!
defraudbah··on BuyMeACoffee silently dropped support for many countries, and nobody cares
not everyone knows how to send stablecoins and many creators get their donations from older people and other less crypto aware groups. Many people don't know how to send money internetionally
defraudbah··on .localhost Domains
if you add your CA to the list of trusted certificate, everything will be fine. I do not recommend using custom certificates and would stick to http, unless you really know what you are doing
defraudbah··on .localhost Domains
People used localtest.me back in the days :)

what build kits are available now?
defraudbah··on I maintain a 17 year old ThinkPad
check out lubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu, perfect for internet browsing and watching videos
defraudbah··on TKey – Security for the New World
This looks amazing, any information how this compares to yubikey?

I love how configurable this is and the ability to tamper with it

PS. Another question, any plans to adopt usb-a?
