Beautifully simple layout, I really like it.

naetius··on Show HN: Text a photo to send as a postcard
No clue but I'd speculate it's just meant to be something quirk and different/fun.
naetius··on Show HN: Text a photo to send as a postcard
As a side note I must confess a certain degree of uneasiness reading some of the borderline-toxic comments, which - to be fair - are nothing new.

This time around though it seems there's a certain obvious difficulty in certain commenters to contextualize what's being shown here.

I understand that "oh but that could be an app/website/whatever" or that "it's an US phone number, I ain't gonna use that" or "ahhhh, this is gonna be abused soooo bad" and so on and so forth... but folks: this clearly is meant to be something quirky and - I think - a v1.

Have we perhaps become a bit of a boring grumpy bunch around here? My 2c.

I've just tried the service all the way through and there's no phone billing whatsoever.

It'll just shoot you a Stripe link.

naetius··on Show HN: Text a photo to send as a postcard
I think that's addressed in the FAQ:

> Currently, we only have a US based phone number that can be used to interact with our service. We understand that this can be expensive in some countries, so we will be working on a WhatsApp integration for the future.

Despite some of the negative comments here - as a postcard fan - I love this!
naetius··on Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT
Sorry if I picked your comment but it seems one of the most upvoted.

What’s the correlation between the alleged privacy violations of OpenAI laid out in the article and the “bureaucrats only pretend to work”?

Honestly asking: if there are indeed privacy violations in OpenAI (we don’t know that yet I think) shouldn’t that authority address them?

naetius··on Vodafone unveils prototype 5G network built on a Raspberry Pi computer
That seems like a great way to make a quick buck out of a libel lawsuit.
naetius··on LastPass says employee’s home computer was hacked and corporate vault taken
> Among other things, the vault gave access to a shared cloud-storage environment that contained the encryption keys for customer vault backups stored in Amazon S3 buckets.

Wow. So those backups - which I hope and assume are encrypted with users’ credentials and were supposed to have one more layer of “LastPass” corp encryption - now seem to be lacking the latter. This sounds equivalent to stealing the encrypted blobs from each and every LP user. (Hoping to be wrong here)

If one workstation getting hacked led to something like this I wonder what other mess is hiding in the crypto details…

naetius··on Apple Has Begun Scanning Your Local Image Files Without Consent
It is on point: if you stopped a second to think and consider the context you might have gotten it.
naetius··on Apple Has Begun Scanning Your Local Image Files Without Consent
That’s ok. As you seem to be based in Germany would you please point me to the relevant consent notice?
naetius··on Apple Has Begun Scanning Your Local Image Files Without Consent
Side question for the author (@sneak): I've noticed some _pk cookie (Motomo?) being injected while visiting your page and some attempted requests to t.sneak.cloud (and others) but haven't (yet) found a consent notice on your site.

What's up?

naetius··on Apple Has Begun Scanning Your Local Image Files Without Consent
Not sure what brought to the conclusion that "medianalysisd running" => CSAM. Article is a bit on the trashy/alarmistic side IMO with no concrete or technical evidence whatsoever.

Minor correction op: in this case it's "Mac OS". "macOS" is for the post-Mac OS X.

In this day and age I wouldn’t be surprised if this was just a marketing stunt.
naetius··on Poll: Where do you live?
Would you say that consuming HN is some sort of "benchmark" that measures how open a society is to the tech scene?
naetius··on Poll: Where do you live?
Does it?

May it be that HN is more or less known among tech workers in country “X” (eg: due to language, etc…)?

naetius··on We are seeing continued DDoS attacks against our infrastructure
Which is probably one of the counter-arguments driving the global consolidation toward services owned by megacorps. This, in turn, contributes to the smaller/independent alternatives to become more prone to this sort of situations. And the cycle begins again.
naetius··on Cleaning Up Header Bars
Darn, even GNOME jumped on the let's-make-the-UI-flat bandwagon.

To be honest I'm lost for words here: what's pushing this trend to make the actionable items blend with the content in such a confusing way?

I understand modernization but I'd really love to get a UX designer point of view here: what's the problem being tackled away by flattening all the actionable items here? What are we gaining in terms of usability?
