You don't need to "sign up". You just open your client, connect to the server and ask your question.

Many GUI IRC clients do image / video embedding, even 10 years ago. Voice chat / video / screenshare is probably not a good fit unless you run some kind of secondary infrastructure like Jitsi and make it look like it's part of the client. Doesn't seem like a great fit though.

Some of the actors that are listed on that page already implement many of the v3 features (Like https://www.irccloud.com), so it's not really something that will come with a big bang and we have to wait for a release, it's just that not all clients support it yet.

I've been using https://www.irccloud.com for years, it takes care of all these things and also has an app / push notifications. It's still IRC, but it takes care of a lot of the annoying parts of it that made it feel dated.

Isn't exactly the beauty of IRC that one person doing something to one node in the network isn't affecting the rest at all?

It's just a hobby like any other, some people will like it, some people won't care for it. There's nothing wrong with that.

> Fiverr exists

I wonder how many contractors on Fiverr are actually just meat proxies at this point.

> Also, the old structure reflected their focus/encouragement of open source, something this change does even more to move away from.

Open source projects are the main driver of this change, every popular open source projects gets a lot of drive by AI pull requests that waste maintainers’ time. Projects come up with their own way of blocking people (https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/blob/main/.github/VOU...) but having this be a GitHub feature is a much easier option for most.

This "Microsoft ruined GitHub" doom talk is getting tiresome. That was 8 years ago.

One of the big changes right after that was offering free private repositories, most people complaining today would've probably not even used GitHub if there were only free public repositories.

> running into them randomly on a small-town street in rural Sicily feels almost fictional

It would feel a lot less invasive and creepy if it really was random and not after looking up an event in someone’s small home town and then traveling there and hoping for an encounter.

Sometimes it's very easy to be confident about your expertise if you are not aware of all the complexities of a problem (See programmers and their assumptions about names and dates). So my point is a bit that it's very hard to judge that and I'd rather have someone share their learnings on their personal blog without hesitation and feeling the need to gate-keep blogging.

It doesn't really, as you can see in their traffic numbers. People are not stopping to use it because they dislike the platform (Most people would not even be aware of any moderation criticism, especially if they are just readers).

People are not using it any more as any AI assistant will give you the answer in seconds, perfectly adapted to your use case and with an easy way to ask follow up questions.

How would you define the limit above which it's appropriate to share your findings on a given topic on your blog?

> selling apps gets more and more difficult

Yes, but also people in the HN bubble overestimate how many people would want to sit down and "prompt their own app". Just like I mostly don't want to bake my own bread and leave it to the professionals at the bakery.

I might be excited about doing my own music library management script, but probably less excited about building my own Photoshop if there's already a company in that space focusing on that as their core business.

I think that's the most powerful use case of AI for me, the possibility to build pretty polished tools for exactly my use case.

I might push them on GitHub but don't really expect anyone to use them or contribute. Just recently I've built a small layer on top of beets (The music library organizer) to improve some of my workflows (https://github.com/dewey/beets-importer), others might have the same use case but they might as well just generate their own tool for exactly what they need.

A few years ago I bought that iSight camera off eBay for no good reason, especially as I can't really use it. It's just a beautiful object to own.

Because it's their release week, so there's multiple new products every day. The overlap of people using HN and Cloudflare is pretty large, so not that surprising.

It’s an official Amazon website, how is that “in disguise”?

Reminds me of Yo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_(app)

Do you already know the one where you swipe alongside the bottom of the screen from left to right, or right to left? If not it's probably one of my most used gestures to swipe between apps.

Indeed, I've been following the issue since it was mentioned here last time and was positively surprised about how quickly they progressed and got the first version shipped.

It takes a bit of practice, but I got it to work after a few tries.

I'm not sure why we are nit-picking that but untyped doesn't mean legacy, and having fields that should be identical be called differently or missing across API routes happens to tiny startups, side projects and big corporates.

The PHP part is unnecessary there, any code base that's more than a hobbyist project will have these kind of issues.

That's not a Last.fm issue, that's a general trend that affects everything.

People don't blog on their personal sites any more, blog comments don't really exist any more, MySpace / Tumblr like sites are not popular any more and people don't share everything private on social media any more as everyone realized that the internet is not always a friendly place and there's enough public cases where this fired back.

The same also applies to the platform itself, opening yourself up to more user contributed data is often a real headache as you need to moderate it properly and that needs resources too. Ask Meta's moderator team how much fun they are having.

For those now following the Last.fm so closely, in May of this year they became independent again (https://support.last.fm/t/last-fm-is-now-independent/118591) after being owned by CBS for a very long time, which is very exciting and I'm glad it wasn't just shut down by CBS.

I haven't noticed any bigger bugs (Apart from search in System Settings still not working), the main annoyance is the Siri bubble showing up next to text fields.

I'm not subscribed to right now, but I have been for a very long time before that. I like their curated approach a lot and it doesn't feel like you are getting drowned in crap like many other services.

It really depends what kind of films you like though, if you are looking for fast paced shows or the latest Hollywood productions you will not like it. If you enjoy going to indie cinemas, you'll like it.
