I am amazed about what I can read here, and the profession of the discussion.

gitowiec··on WTF Nextdoor? Over 130 clicks to disable email and push notifications?
How can I remove my email from their database if I never opened an account? Once I lived in New York city and thought I will use this service but then I moved out. Unfortunately I started to signing in. Then they wanted to send me a confirmation snail mail. But I don't live there any more. And my registration is stuck in a limbo since like 10 years. I can't login because I have no password nor confirmation that I live in the NYC...
gitowiec··on Identify the birds you see or hear with Merlin Bird ID
I thought it's like a Shazam for bird sings. Record a bird, send it and get the answer what it is.
gitowiec··on OP-1 field
Too expensive. But I'm glad there are people that can utilise it well! Eg. RedMeansRecording channel on YouTube!
gitowiec··on Petal Search: lots of good results, low spam
I just visited it and the front page displays a lot of crappy "news" from different services... How is that good results any way?
gitowiec··on Block a tweet, its author, and every single person who liked it
Isn't it a cancel culture in it's essence?
gitowiec··on Folding bicycle small enough to fit in hand luggage
Thank you for opening my eyes on the price... I'm just a simpleton
gitowiec··on Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss?
Exactly, drinking water is so important. I really do not part with glass. In my city it is safe to drink tap water, and it tastes good. So it doesn't matter if I'm home or at the office, I just grab my glass and fill it with tap water and drink. This is very good start to loose weight
gitowiec··on Nintendo is removing switch emulation videos on Steam Deck from YouTube
That made me laugh. Because my movies were also taken down because of background music. And that was the feeling I got when I raised "dispute" in YouTube system to defend my videos. It was like a Russian roulette
gitowiec··on Map of Surnames in Europe
Exactly! How come it knows where I live?
gitowiec··on Google mandates workers back to Silicon Valley, other offices from April 4
That's good to be back in the office. For me it's only a week to start feeling bad. Loneliness, the same walls I live with family, no colleagues around to talk to. That's not for me. Sometimes I prefer to work from home, because I need to run some errands, from home I have better control. Everybody should have an option, or possibility to work from home some days in a week. But nothing replace morning coffee in the kitchen with colleagues!
gitowiec··on A Vicious Cycle: The Dangerous Dehumanisation of Cyclists
When I'm behind the wheel I hate cyclists. Not all of them, just the part that behaves like they take part in some Olympics challenge. The same is when I ride a bike. I still hate them, because they are a threat. I am afraid to share road with such people. They do not slow down, they squeeze in where there's not enough room. I'm stressed when riding a bike that I get into awful accident. And I'm stressed when riding my car that I will get someone into hospital and I will have to take responsibility of someone dumbness
gitowiec··on Airbnb wants to GPS track you also when not using the app
Funny thing. Or not. But Google results page displays different short texts for every page. Is it just me or that changed? I remember that every page result should display same briefing
gitowiec··on SSH into private machines from anywhere using Cloudflare Tunnel
What solution is available for smartphone with Android? I would like to setup unused phone with Android system and SSH server (there are apps) to make it a standalone server connected with internet only via LTE/GSM (using simcard). I learnt that it is impossible to connect to a device using LTE connection. It's "public" IP is not so public, LTE providers have a lot of infrastructure configurations (NAT?) to not allow incoming connections initiated outside the phone. What is the best solution here? What are free for fair use (just ssh, maybe a httpd with lightweight script page), what are paid solutions. Thanks!
gitowiec··on Please make a dumb car
In my Mercedes C180, year 2011 the AC zones really work and I have the knobs! With automatic gear (unusual in my country) and turbo, it really feels premium! And I bought it really cheap, as a second owner.
gitowiec··on Google Is Forcing Me to Dump a Perfectly Good Phone
I'm using Samsung galaxy s8. I'm 3rd owner of it. Immediately when I got it almost 2 years ago I rooted it disabling my self to obtain latest updates for this phone. And I'm not whining about it loud.... I just don't get it why someone had to write about losing updates whole article? There are more important problems (real one)
gitowiec··on Ask HN: Gmail account security
Some similar thing happen to me. Gmail login page says that I need to acknowledge that me is me and it forces me to change password... I occasionally get this message on screen when I change countries with VPN. I need to use VPN different countries because this is required by my work (development of streaming services). I get so much annoyed. Recently I spent Christmas in Norway (not the country of my origin) and that happened again. I had to access Gmail to check in the flight so I was forced to change the password. This is ridiculous!
gitowiec··on The Spacing Effect
Guys, I need flashcards for AWS associated Dev certificate. What is the best solution?
gitowiec··on Everything must be paid for twice
Exactly! The first commenter didn't catch that article at all...
gitowiec··on The first fairy stories were never intended for children
So I read to my baby girl since she's 1yo, every day. Today she's 5 and ½ yo. She speaks like an adult, choosing words carefully and accordingly. She's starting to read by herself (we do not teach her purposely), she's able to write anything she wants (her own handwriting). Reading for my child is also a good time for me. I have an opportunity to read amazing Astrid Lindgren stories, I didn't know before. I believe that reading gives her a very important tool for being someone like an engineer, it's imagination.
gitowiec··on For a legally blind player, Far Cry 6’s accessibility options are empowering
What means legally blind? Can one be illegally blind?
gitowiec··on Facebook bans, sends C&D letter to developer of Unfollow Everything extension
I don't get it, what is cease-and-decease letter? I'm not from US
gitowiec··on I don't have crippling Anxiety, but Anxiety is crippling me
Change therapist, he's not yours if he does not believe you.
gitowiec··on Valve Steam Deck
Absurdly expensive internal mmc memory in comparison to SSD
gitowiec··on Tabula – Extract tables from PDF files
Camelot and it's Excalibur are great too! We used it to convert different bank statements
gitowiec··on Tech Interviews Are Stupid
I think that they want to hear is thinking. So every time I am during technical interview, I just talk out loud what I see in front of my eyes. That is great because they get to know my thinking process and it works as a rubber ducky for myself.
gitowiec··on 1Password for Linux
It is sad, running Firefox as a browser, Slack, Teams and 1password as 3 more browsers... Oh I forgot Postman! What are other "apps" common among developers built on the Electron?
gitowiec··on Vue 3 drops IE11 support plan
Yeah, that was bad browser for a developer who wanted to code only by standards. But in the other hand, back then when IE6 was released - it was the best.
gitowiec··on My multi-decade quest for rural broadband
It is sad that the author and his family were excluded from the reliable and fast internet connection. Knowing that other places have good internet connection could bring frustration on them. I never was in such situation with the Internet but, I can sympathize. Now I am also in exclusion. In my country there is lack of good quality and performance laptops. I don't understand (it must be money) why only lower end laptops (bad displays, low quality cases, mostly plastic, lower end CPUs) are sold here in Poland. I feel excluded from the tech I always was a geek follower and a user (developer). Companies selling hardware prioritize markets with bigger purchasing powers. But it was not so visible back in the day.
gitowiec··on Babel is used by millions, so why are we running out of money?
What for is Babel? I know it's a transpiler, but who uses it now? Since I work with fronted, backend and JS (3 years now) I use only Typescript. Babel is like ancient technology for me. Should be deprecated soon, no need to clog the bandwidth.
gitowiec··on Millions of the Pentagon’s dormant IP addresses sprang to life on January 20
Google recaptcha? I get the same problem continuously on FX desktop and Android :(
