kogasa240p··on Goldman Sachs is pulling Claude Code from its bankers and traders
A drug dealer never consumes.
kogasa240p··on Discord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAM
What?? As much as I despise Discord this is a positive trend, hope other companies follow suit. Javascript on desktop is a plague on computing and the sooner it dies, the better.
kogasa240p··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
Maybe the UI put people off? idk because this seems cool as well.
kogasa240p··on Mortality Among People with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
very interesting to see
kogasa240p··on Wine ported to OpenBSD
Impressive! Wonderful to see that the BSDs are getting love these days.
kogasa240p··on MapQuest will now show you where Flock cameras are in your neighborhood
Very cool to see, and I'm curious if they'll start logging where Axion cams are next (if DeFlock doesn't already have Axion cameras logged). Also like how MapQuest doesn't lock multiple destinations behind needing an account, at least for the desktop version.
kogasa240p··on Wayland desktop for Linux with skeuomorphic design
Very interesting concept but I doubt it's stable due to the amount of slopped code and I don't like that it requires a hodgepoge of libraries from different DEs.
kogasa240p··on Felix Rieseberg Homepage
Disable javascript and you'll be redirected to the static version.
kogasa240p··on AOSP Source Releases Are So Late Developers Disassemble Libraries to Report Bugs
Wouldn't it be better to start focusing energy onto projects like PostmarketOS (now Nura)? Sure the Linux phone space on the hardware side is a bit barren, but there are options and you don't really need top of the line specs to get something working; you could even use an SBC with a cellular modem peripheral to have a cellphone replacement.
kogasa240p··on IRCv3
The biggest "issue" I have with IRCv3 is that /chathistory hasn't been ratified yet, requesting the last 10-30 messages from the server logs should be fairly trivial to implement. Yeah bouncers exist but I'm honestly too lazy to set one up and I don't want my computer running 24/7 just to store random IRC messages.

Then again the culture is different with IRC versus other platforms and people adapt with not having a full chat history, so dunno if this is an actual issue in the long run.

kogasa240p··on Theranos.world
As someone who only knows Theranos by the creepy lady and that they did some scam this is very interesting. Only critique is that it calls Twitter X, which isn't historically accurate.

EDIT: uhh I thought the movie signup thing was a gag, didn't know it was real. Sorry I guess.

kogasa240p··on ICC judge on what U.S. sanctions mean for her and global courts
partially agreee but also 90% of crypto is either inefficient (btc), for scams (shitcoins), or weird pseudo-CBDC garbage (xrp/ripple/chainlink/icp) that don't have a use case outside of "it'll pump when payment processors adopt us!". Monero is probably the only coin that didn't get sucked into the post 2017 cryptobro mentality of "making it rich" and instead stayed the course of giving payment processors the finger.

> How many services take Monero? It also does not solve your health insurance being taken away.

Not much outside of drugs iirc but I'm hoping this serves as a major wake up call for people.

kogasa240p··on ICC judge on what U.S. sanctions mean for her and global courts
That's a CBDC, not really comparable to Monero.
kogasa240p··on ICC judge on what U.S. sanctions mean for her and global courts
Monero solves this btw.
kogasa240p··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
This has been known for years, but it's good to see that more people are picking up to the fact.
kogasa240p··on My practical approach to surfing the web safely
If they have a systemD-less version I'd seriously consider using it.
kogasa240p··on My practical approach to surfing the web safely
Librewolf (sometimes Palemoon) + Ublock origin to disable Javascript. Many websites work a lot faster as well.
kogasa240p··on Global warming will exceed 1.5-degree limit, UN says
>Then, to fix it, we'll need a massive Direct Air Capture industry that will have to operate for a century, and probably past that so we can hit and maintain a CO2 level of 250ppm.

Removing CO2 from seawater would be more efficient because some of the work is already done for you, and you'd be de-acidifying the ocean long term.

kogasa240p··on How much of HN is AI?
Having a set of tag presets would help somewhat for filtering.
kogasa240p··on Jabber/XMPP: 25 Years of Digital Independence
Its biggest issue is adoption because it's very solid otherwise and even supports stuff like screen sharing.
kogasa240p··on Scrap (2006)
> ~$5/lb

Copper sells over $6 per pound these days: https://www.kitco.com/price/base-metals/copper

kogasa240p··on Linux on ESP32
Good to know.
kogasa240p··on NetBSD 11.0
Very nice, wonder what's the state of using NetBSD as a daily driver?
kogasa240p··on Linux on ESP32
Looks interesting but wouldn't something like netBSD be a better fit?
kogasa240p··on Bad Apple but It's Traceroute
What? How is Bad Apple sexual, all of the characters are doing something instead of just dancing around.
kogasa240p··on Bad Apple but It's Traceroute
Holy shit touhou
kogasa240p··on Wind turbine is being used to produce zero-carbon "green ammonia" fertilizer
Thought about something similar a few months ago, love seeing it in action. The article was terrible however, dunno why every other sentence is bold. Genuenly feels like I'm reading a middle schooler trying to fulfill a word usage/sentience structure quota.
kogasa240p··on OpenNode – Bitcoin Payment Processor
Does it support Monero?
kogasa240p··on Does average person understand that all disc media dies too?
>Does average person understand that all disc media dies too?

Media on disks can be copied to fresh disks, and generally even the cheapest of disks will last a long time if stored properly. Digital media* on the other hand is subject to DRM insanity and legalese that states you are buying a "license" for a product rather than the product itself.
