sccxy··on I paid people to try and follow my README
Most README files should include a screenshot.

Even if it is a command-line tool, a screenshot helps provide a better understanding of what to expect.

sccxy··on Saving Jet Fuel
Good exercise but as useful as Google maps would implement "ignore traffic rules" option to save fuel.
sccxy··on iPhone Duo
August 12, 2020
sccxy··on Apple Watch Series 12
Moved to Garmin.

Maybe less powerful but battery life is the most important feature for me.

sccxy··on GitHub Copilot App
Looks good, but after pricing change I have already used 26% this month with very light usage.

Last month I used Copilot heavily, much much more than I usually do, but did not manage to use more than 58%.

sccxy··on GitHub is sinking
Living in Eastern Europe has its perks. I hardly ever notice big GitHub outages because of time zone.

I'm also happy with how generous their free hosting and actions are.

sccxy··on Your Backpack Got Worse on Purpose
I've got quite expensive ski jacket with 4 YKK zippers.

3 of 4 zippers are broken after few years of usage.

sccxy··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
Specs show that Pro models got Thunderbolt and Air only got USB-C.

Very vague specs.

Can iPad Air USB-C deliver 4k 120hz or how much bandwidth that USB-C got?

sccxy··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
Can you connect it to USB-C/Thunderbolt monitor/dock and use it with keyboard and mouse?
sccxy··on Meta to retire messenger desktop app and messenger.com in April 2026
Traffic to facebook.com must have dropped hard to make that kind of move.

It's strange to abandon the Messenger brand for such a reason.

I was similarly surprised when MS abandoned the MSN Messenger brand.

sccxy··on Multiple explosions in Venezuela's capital Caracas
Disgusting aggression from the US.

Trump is copying his friend Putin too much.

sccxy··on List of domains censored by German ISPs
So it is a collection of the best pirate sites?
sccxy··on Exe.dev
It is showing non-stop loading blink but nothing happens.

And cannot open keyboard if that is needed. It is like big CTA but does not do anything.

Very strange landing page for maybe cool product.

sccxy··on Exe.dev
That must be worst website ever made.

Zero information available on mobile.

I thought it is some kind of portfolio site that does not work on mobile.

sccxy··on Fifty problems with standard web APIs in 2025
Home Screen Safari and Browser Safari act very differently.

There are a lot of bugs where home screen safari passes feature detection but in reality does not work.

iOS and Safari are hell.

sccxy··on State of Terminal Emulators in 2025: The Errant Champions
and terminal that comes with Windows is on the 4th place.
sccxy··on Gmail will no longer support checking emails from third-party accounts via POP
So why you say "Not true at all"?

Is it AI spam to advertise your product?

sccxy··on Download responsibly
Then there will be an another comment: What is OSM?

Current title is fine.

sccxy··on Trump Organization enters phone market with $499 Trump Mobile device
"Trump threatens tariffs on Apple iPhones" (23. May)

Makes sense now why iPhones were specifically targeted.

sccxy··on Using Gorilla glass for home building
Triple pane windows are not that kind of luxury.

I live in a poor Eastern European country and this is the standard for new buildings.

sccxy··on MacBook Air M4
But once you activate AI, then you are not able to uninstall this AI crap from your computer.
sccxy··on Apple's Software Quality Crisis
Apple is known for their refusal to fix bugs.

One example where it is almost 2 years since they "made" a fix, but have not yet released it.

sccxy··on Feed readers which don't take "no" for an answer
Whole articles are reasonable.

100 articles are not reasonable.

100 articles where most of them are 1+ year old is madness.

RSS is not an archive of the entire website.

sccxy··on Feed readers which don't take "no" for an answer
If OP enabled gzip then this 36mb would be 13mb.

If OP reduced 30 months of posts in rss to 12 months then this 13mb would be 5mb a day.

Using Cloudflare free plan and this static content is cached without any problem.

sccxy··on Feed readers which don't take "no" for an answer
More like a skill issue or just decision to make your life more difficult.

It is free and easy to scale this kind of text based blog.

sccxy··on Feed readers which don't take "no" for an answer
Send only one year's recent posts and you've reduced bandwidth by 50%.
sccxy··on Feed readers which don't take "no" for an answer
Yes, this is a very poorly designed RSS feed.

500KB is horrible for RSS.

sccxy··on Feed readers which don't take "no" for an answer
Her rss feed is last 100 posts with full content.

So it means 30 months of blog posts content in single request.

Sending 0.5MB in single rss request is more crime than those 2 hits in 20 minutes.

sccxy··on Key transparency and the right to be forgotten
HN must also respect the principles of the right to be forgotten.

There is no easy way to delete your comments or profile.

sccxy··on Is Chrome the New IE? (2023)
No

Other browsers are updated more frequently and do not need OS updates.

Safari users are left behind with a broken browser.

I have more iOS 16.1 users (specific version) than all Chrome users with 6+ months old versions.
