parski··on Stop Killing Games: It's time to sue Sony, join us
The physical stores already beat that website despite offering physical discs in physical cases.
parski··on Why AI Sucks at Front End
AI is great at front end. Scroll based animations are the devil and these "boring" designs it defaults to are (more often than not) super intuitive. Sure, some design quirks it'll guess are annoying, but have you seen the web?
parski··on Trump's Tariffs Wipe Out over $6T on Wall Street in Epic Two-Day Rout
Must feel good to be great again.

parski··on One in four 2020 Tesla Model 3 failed the Danish periodic inspection in 2024
We had a Fremont manufactured 2021 Model 3. It failed the 3 year inspection (we live in Sweden) due to fog light being way off and hitch. Turns out the fog light mount had broke off. The whole front fascia was replaced.

Before the inspection I had the tail lights replaced twice, headlights replaced once and so many other things they'd find when I dropped it off for service. The boot hatch hydraulics was missing gaskets. TPMS was defective on delivery. Panel gaps of course. I had so much water in the first tail lights I could house a betta.

When Twitler started fighting the unions we sold that incident number on wheels and got a Volvo.

parski··on Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use?
This is what I use as well. It's not perfect but it's the best I've tried so far.
parski··on I ditched the algorithm for RSS
I started doing this a couple of years ago. In fact, I found this post when going through my RSS after breakfast.

My biggest problem so far is that the RSS data is often very lacking (body, images, etc) and that there are still lots of content I'd like to filter out by sentiment. Like if I follow a technology outlet I don't want to know that there's an absolute steal on Sonos Arc on Bestbuy because I'm generally not into consuming and I live in northern Europe.

I have high hopes for ML to populate the RSS data and filter content like this. I want to experiment with this.

parski··on What other communities do you use apart from HN?
What are your favorite communities are not echo chambers?
parski··on Blur Busters Open Source Display Initiative – Refresh Cycle Shaders
I'd buy a new TV or monitor for this feature alone.
parski··on Happy New Year 2025
I live near the arctic circle so the bit of sunshine we gain every day makes a real difference. I'm also in complete denial on June 21st, absolutely refusing to acknowledge that the days get shorter.
parski··on App Should Have Been a Website (and Probably Your Game Too)
The web is for hypertext. Simultaneously, lots of apps should be App Clips or whatever the Android fragment equivalent is called.
parski··on Meet your new Time Server
Why is this needed?
parski··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2024 – Show and tell
I develop a modular media center compatible with Stremio addons for Apple platforms. It's called [Vidi](https://vidi.plomo.se/).

I've done zero marketing and have a few thousand users from organic growth alone since August. It's a one-time purchase type of deal and I'm overwhelmed by positive feedback.

parski··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2024 – Show and tell
I've heard great things about your stuff.
parski··on Zen: Firefox Based Browser
I love the split tabs feature. I do wish it was a bit more fleshed out, however. For example, I'd like tabs opened from a split tab replace that tab in the split view when switched to.
parski··on MusicBrainz: An open music encyclopedia
I have this problem. Ever ID3 tag or whatever FLAC tag should be localized so you can select what localization you want. It's the only solution.
parski··on OpenSCAD: The Programmer's Solid 3D CAD Modeller
I think that sounds like a healthy approach to social ad platforms and the like.
parski··on Ask HN: Tired of software career. What now?
I want to re-educate myself and combat climate change. Non-profit or maybe politics. Need a big pile of cash first so I can disregard the looming threat of ever lacking money.
parski··on Show HN: I've spent nearly 5y on a web app that creates 3D apartments
> I've spent five years on this

> OH GOD PLEASE NOOOO

I wonder if OP should have tested this on their audience earlier of if commenter is not part of their audience.

parski··on The state of carbon dioxide removal
Now we're talking.
parski··on The state of carbon dioxide removal
A forest is not just trees. Lots of carbon storage happens between them, not to mention how important they are for biodiversity.
parski··on [dead]
I think it's because women are smarter.
parski··on Looking Glass launches new 3D displays
I want to play games on it.
parski··on Show HN: Open-source GeForce NOW alternative with Stadia's social features
That's a really cool idea.
parski··on Is the city concept wrong with human nature? Vertical vs. horizontal scaling
Most of human history is before settlement and agriculture. How is it human nature to have robot lawn mowers and a picket fence? I'd argue that multiple family houses and cities are much more suitable for a social tribe species than suburbia. Not to mention that suburbia is completely unsustainable.
parski··on Apple's risky bet on CarPlay
I went from CarPlay (Kia e-Niro) to Tesla (Model 3) to CarPlay (Volvo XC40 Recharge) and I vastly prefer CarPlay. I've tried wireless CarPlay (BMW M2) and while convenient when entering and exiting the vehicle I found it to be quite laggy compared to wired. While Tesla does have the Apple Podcasts app it's a really bad experience. It won't sync playback state properly so I have to memorize what I'm listening to and how far I've gotten when I switch from car to phone or back. Similar story with Apple Music and even Spotify (which is usually great at keeping state between devices but not with Tesla for some reason). Yes, I paid for "premium connectivity". Tesla did have better route planning though.

I also really don't like wireless charging. It spares the port from constant wear but my device tends to get really hot and the charging is very inefficient. I plan to go back to slow wired charging everywhere to put less strain on the battery. I already have in my car and by my PC. Unfortunately my XC40 doesn't support dual screen CarPlay so I use the Google Maps in Android Automotive for navigation and use CarPlay for music, podcasts, etc. Switching from AA Google Maps and CarPlay and back is not a high friction interaction though so it's an okay solution. I'm also able to deactivate wireless charging so I'm pretty happy with this solution.

parski··on AltStore PAL, the first alternative app marketplace on iPhone, is available now
This is private enterprise squirming as regulators are prying them open.
