monkeywork

And that was a dog whistle to you ? you realize in order for it to be a dog whistle it would have had to been intentional with malice right?

Honestly your attitude towards this is why the internet is so bloody toxic all the time now and simply not fun.

More info please? I have severe doubts that GOG actually had that intent.

Well done - that was a fun little distraction :)

is he still making content it feels like its been forever since ive heard anything about him

I don't know if we are the level of "most people" but I'd say we are defintely at a "signficant percentage of ppl". Due to cost of checked luggage the popularity of one bag carry on flying has exploded.

I'd love that as well - can we not get LLMs to summerize and give us non-click bait versions of these events.

They are bricking the devices and not allowing them to log back into the service if they ever log out. All they had to do was not allow them to access / purchase from the store rather than keeping them from logging in.

If that was the truth I have a strong feeling your wording would be different.

why because "elon bad" ??

cut your nose off to spite your face if you want but the rest of us will recognize the importance of space-x and be grateful it is here.

for my use case I think the docker container is better solution. I listen on several different devices so having plexamp send everything to last.fm and use that as the "source of truth" and then the docker container monitors last.fm and resends that info to other targets makes a bit more sense - this way I never have to make sure I have something running on my listening device.

Earlier this year I decided to move away from streaming platforms and rebuild my local music collection and serve it out over Plex. Plex supports last.fm so everything gets recorded there.

I also use the following docker containers on my home server:

Multi-Scrobbler: https://hub.docker.com/r/foxxmd/multi-scrobbler Koito: https://koito.io/guides/installation/

This allows me to share my last.fm input to both a local scrobbler (Koito) and to listenbrainz - I figured having this data in multiple locations makes it a bit more safe.

Honestly between last.fm and listenbrainz I find myself exploring more on listenbrainz - even though most of it's users don't really fit the same listening profile I do.

If the developer was a work for hire and never owned the copyright then no.

If the developer licensed the game to a publisher then maybe.

Is that what is happening? My understanding of Termination of Transfer is that it keeps you from being able to make a sequel to your video game using the characters you licensed from me, but that the game you have already created you can continue to sell.

What the termination allows me to do as the creator of that character in this analogy is say - charcircuit isn't doing anything with my character for 35 years - I'm going to take back control and maybe do something myself with it or license it to someone else to do something with...

Where do you get that the announcement was written by an LLM - they list the authors of the article on the page.

GOG is hardly a toy and is the platform I look to purchase tons of games on instead of Steam (which I really like) and definitely over Epic (which I've never even installed)

Wish they would properly support linux - the Affinity products are PAINFUL if not near impossible to get working in wine.

The idea that you don’t need an app to charge is, in my view, highly dependent on the region. I follow several YouTube channels where people document long EV road trips to showcase how the charging infrastructure is evolving. While things have definitely improved over the past couple of years, using non-Tesla charging stations still often involves:

- Charging speeds that fall short of what's advertised

- A requirement to use an app for payment (even if no account setup is needed)

- Chargers that are out of service but not flagged as such in the system

Until N. America lifts the 100% tariffs on Chinese cars, it doesn't really matter if they are equal to Tesla or not in this market.

Would also love an invite code if anyone has one.

That reads more like:

- site owners can have protection as long as it doesn't inconvenience me.

do you have an automated method of doing the filtering or is this all manual

how do you figure they've deleted all their posts? When I click the second link I seem to find a normal profile with several posts (although it hasn't been used since 2023)

Why does anyone not financially motivated care about how many views a video gets? Use the like function if you want I guess .

It makes sense to have the view count only show views that could be useful for ad revenue ... This way you can be honest with advertiser's about roughly how many eyeballs they can expec5

depends which camp of apple watch (or smart watch in general) users you are asking.

the camp that sees the smartwatch as an accessory to their smartphone that does fitness tracking and maybe a few other useful things to avoid pulling their phone out constantly - those people want MUCH longer battery life.

the camp that sees the smartwatch as a REPLACEMENT to their smartphone, they are perfectly fine with the current battery life.

thanks for pointing that out - I didn't know that nor really catch it when he had that in the post I assumed the opposite.

Most people have lived with ads their whole lives, so the slow increase over decades barely registers. Many HN readers have spent the last 15–20 years avoiding them almost entirely with ad blockers, streaming, and piracy. Coming back to ad-saturated spaces feels jarring - like stepping out of a smoke-free world and into the 1960s, where everyone’s lighting up indoors.

To manage my child’s online viewing, I remove YouTube from all of his devices and instead use Pinchflat[1] to automatically download videos from a curated list of pre‑approved channels. We periodically explore YouTube together to discover new content aligned with his interests, which I then add to the list. Pinchflat retrieves new uploads within hours and automatically deletes them after a set period. The videos are stored locally and made available through Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin for remote access. This approach eliminates ads and algorithm‑driven recommendations while giving me full control over content, though it requires some setup, ongoing management, and storage capacity.

The first thing that came to mind to me - and maybe I'm a million miles off here - but all the recent drama around visa / mastercard / etc pressuring sites like Steam to modify their terms of use... maybe Stripe is thinking they can come in and be an alternative by doing it via crypto and hoping their name brings enough trust to cause users to jump on board.

>I didn't claim knowledge, it's just speculation.

"I can testify that is downstream of too many donuts."

The above statement - specifically saying you TESTIFY - does not sound like speculation; it sounds like you are speaking as a matter of fact.

I fail to see what if anything, positive you thought would come from that post? You're in a thread where people are mostly positively remembering someone they respected and you essentially jumped in and said "yeah but the guy killed himself with his eating".... like you really think that's a good idea?

You might think you're doing some greater good - but there is a time and a place for everything - the message you're trying to send isn't going to land in this sort of environment, it's just going to piss people off and have you appear to be disrespectful.

grass is always greener...
