t1c··on Tell HN: Gmail enabled 2FA with the YouTube app
Have fun getting your accounts compromised, then. I have no clue why anyone would actively hate security measures.
t1c··on Show HN: Every mountain, building and tree shadow mapped for any date and time
It's location based. The default place on the map for me was the Airbnb I'm staying at right now
t1c··on 500-year-old maths problem turns out to apply to coffee and clocks
I did NOT read that initially as "clocks"...
t1c··on Launch HN: Muddy (YC S19) – Multiplayer browser for getting work done
I don't see what having an arch setup would have to do with running it through wine, but running your main browser under a heavy compatibility layer is practically unusable in my book. I need my browser to be able to be invoked in no more than a couple hundred milliseconds, while wine programs can sometimes take 5 to 10 seconds to launch.
t1c··on Launch HN: Muddy (YC S19) – Multiplayer browser for getting work done
So, despite being based on Chromium, there's no Linux builds? Would like to try this but me and my entire team uses Linux.
t1c··on I've forked neofetch to keep it alive
Guess this is a good opportunity to plug my own neofetch alternative, NerdFetch https://github.com/ThatOneCalculator/NerdFetch
t1c··on Meta Horizon OS
I don't think it's that... I've tried many VR apps and games (as far back as 7 years ago!) and it's just not for me. Don't get me wrong, it can be fun and engaging, but not a game-changer. And that's fine, people are allowed to enjoy what they want to enjoy, and vice versa. There's a reason people have personal preferences.
t1c··on Meta Horizon OS
I've used the Valve Index before, it's a great experience but not something that I found to be groundbreaking or life-changing.
t1c··on Meta Horizon OS
I don't get your point -- you're allowed to not like an invasive company and you're allowed to refuse to use their products if you don't like what they're doing. I don't think anyone in this conversation is making it their personality.
t1c··on Meta Horizon OS
I don't think it's a particularly sad hill to die on – Meta has proven themselves to be exploitative, invasive, and downright malicious time and time again.
t1c··on Show HN: QWANJI
Would you look at that... https://youtube.com/shorts/KzBpAYbib0c
t1c··on Neon Serverless Postgres is generally available
We were connecting over `pg` (NodeJS). The web dashboard was constantly logging me out and was overall a mess (although I'd imagine it might be a bit better now, given GA?). There's no DMs on HackerNews btw
t1c··on Neon Serverless Postgres is generally available
Hi Mike, I appreciate that, but I don't think I see myself using Neon anytime soon, if at all.
t1c··on Neon Serverless Postgres is generally available
I tried Neon a few months ago when attempting to switch away from a self hosted db. It was a horrible experience, customer support was unhelpful, it was glitchy, slow, and laggy, and even before the price increase their pricing was way too high.

Any tool that can make arbitrary illustrations, no matter how complex, convoluted, or limited, can and will always be used to draw dicks.
t1c··on I'm hating swe, what could be another career?
Making things is fun, usually regardless of the medium
t1c··on SFMTA's train system running on floppy disks; city fears 'catastrophic failure'
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" definitely has its practical limits

Every girl born after 1999 only knows how to be on they phone, eat hot chip and lie

100% AI written article. No human has ever said "Takis corn snacks"

t1c··on NetBSD 10.0 Released
Saying the Nintendo Switch is BSD based is a bit of a stretch, Horizon (the Nintendo Switch operating system) runs a proprietary, fully custom microkernel and has some utilities from both FreeBSD and Android.

> Despite popular misconceptions to the contrary, Horizon is not largely derived from FreeBSD code, nor from Android, although the software licence[14] and reverse engineering efforts[15][16] have revealed that Nintendo does use some code from both in some system services and drivers. For example, the networking stack in the Switch OS is derived at least in part from FreeBSD code.[15] Nintendo's use of FreeBSD networking code is legal as it is made available under the permissive BSD licence, and not even particularly unusual – for instance, the Microsoft Windows XP TCP/IP stack was originally derived from BSD code in a similar fashion.

t1c··on NetBSD 10.0 Released
With a desktop environment and everything?! I had no clue, I'd love to see a demo or at least feature chart
t1c··on Ask HN: Why are there no no-name inkjet printers?
It's not no-name, but Xiaomi has a line of printers under the Mijia brand if you want some Chinese inkjet or laser printers.
t1c··on NetBSD 10.0 Released
> Apple M1 SoC support, e.g. the M1 Mac Mini.

AsahiBSD soon?

t1c··on LanguageX Is Like LanguageY
It's almost as if they take inspiration and design patterns from each other because of the desire to iterate upon proven ideas
t1c··on All-Screen iPhone?
This is a nothing burger. Apple has filled TONS of patents over the years for products they'll never make, just so others couldn't attempt to make them instead.
t1c··on Claim: Private GitHub repos included in AI dataset
Even though they were only my public repos in there, I really don't like this being opt out instead of opt in, especially since some of those repositories were not under fully permissive licenses
t1c··on Flagship Mastodon instance to require AI disclosure; bans AI-only accounts
I'd be fine if "ID for the web" was implemented with privacypass https://privacypass.github.io/
t1c··on Slack or Discord?
Hot take incoming: Google Chat, at least for work
