greentext··on macOS Sequoia is available today
It's a great time to switch to Linux.
greentext··on Show HN: Meet.hn – Meet the Hacker News community in your city
Did you get permission from HN to do this?

There's no way I'd join something like this without the official stamp.

greentext··on Notepat – Aesthetic Computer
freaky-flowers was cool. How does it work?
greentext··on Boox Palma Review: A Phone-Sized E-Ink Android Device That Isn't a Phone
I tried their 25 inch monitor. E-Ink is such a better experience. I don't feel so jacked in to the matrix when I use it.

The ghosting and refresh rate are holding this technology back though. Definitely not main driver status yet.

LED and LCD screens seem to shift the brain into an agitated frequency. I wish they'd make more progress with E-Ink!

greentext··on Blitzortung – real time lightning strikes around the world
Solder the thing!
greentext··on Database “sharding” came from Ultima Online? (2009)
Yes. A lot of tech history has its roots in gaming. And Trammel is for carebears.
greentext··on The Value of Milk.com
Nice. The "edit" portion was very clever!

Now write a short, trite comment.

greentext··on Show HN: Procedural Art –– 'Pulse'
The ship is strangely generalized in design. There's no specific bridge; no command center. There's no engineering section. I can identify no living quarters. There's no indication of life.
greentext··on Ask HN: What brought back the joy of programming for you?
Being reminded I didn't get into it for money and recognizing the tools and ideas the masses chose to define the industry are unbelievably terrible, delusional even.
greentext··on Ask HN: What are your favorite parables, anecdotes, idioms, etc.?
Wait, now there's two boxes.
greentext··on By harnessing wind power, high-tech sails can help cut marine pollution
Why don’t we have over-ocean cables to ferry cargo/cargo ships?
greentext··on Ask HN: Which niche online businesses would you love to own?
Maybe something low effort and ironic like you'd find on a web ring, but even less effort.
greentext··on Ask HN: What are problems only Windows, macOS, or Linux has?
Windows is a telemetry nightmare and doesn't believe in free will.

MacOS is like a controlling father that lets you opt out with strings attached.

Linux lacks polish so it never feels like a reliable workhorse.

All these OSes surely are backdoored so it's choose your poison of who you want reading your email: shifty suit and ties or cyberpunk graybeards.

greentext··on Raspberry Pi prepares for London listing
An ad supported freemium Raspberry Pi running pi-hole would really sum up the last decade in tech.
greentext··on Cubic millimetre of brain mapped at nanoscale resolution
It looks like spaghetti code.
greentext··on Ask HN: Why do you use Apple products?
I don't trust Apple anymore. Transitioning out. The thumb scans, then face scans, and then making Little Snitch not fully effective, and now they make their own chips so zero accountability as to what kind of functions are in those chips in a world with satellite internet.
greentext··on Show HN: Play the game I'm developing directly on its website
Had fun killing an hour there, fun gameplay. Is there multiplayer?
greentext··on Drawing.garden
2024 off to a great start
greentext··on Ask HN: Do you have a problem you'd pay to have taken away?
Repeated stupidity in some areas.
greentext··on AI may be on a trajectory to surpass human intelligence; we should be prepared
There's plenty of Smeagols out there already. We need a Frodo.
greentext··on AI may be on a trajectory to surpass human intelligence; we should be prepared
Who says we have to wait?
greentext··on AI may be on a trajectory to surpass human intelligence; we should be prepared
You might be stuck programming an abacus for a few years, or a TI-83
greentext··on AI may be on a trajectory to surpass human intelligence; we should be prepared
I wonder at what point there will be roving mobs of people destroying every device in sight. Anti-AI vigilante groups, etc.
greentext··on EU opens proceedings against X over efforts to combat information manipulation
I totally get the mars thing now.
greentext··on Agile has failed. Officially. Now comes version 2
Agile sure is a weird way to pronounce micromanagement. Why not just call it what it is?
greentext··on Ask HN: How much do you read in a year?
How much should I be reading?
greentext··on Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others to join Microsoft
The only way to keep AGI safe is to put it on the Zune.
greentext··on WiFi can read through walls
What are the health implications of this? Isn't that like an x-ray?

Any good research out there on WiFi, cellular and RF in general?

greentext··on Ask HN: What tool/product do you wish existed?
A tool that takes my gap-ridden resume, calculates the best trajectory moving forward, and frames it in such a way that someone will actually want to hire me.
greentext··on Ghana's MPs pass bill criminalising witchcraft accusation
If the country collapses in the next couple months we'll all know why.
