thesdev··on Show HN: Uruky (EU-based Kagi alternative) now has Image Search and URL Rewrites
> We won't have Generative AI, sorry.

You're taking a stance? In this economy?

This is a bug plus in my book, and it is, besides being Europe-based, the reason I've been donating to Vivaldi for the past 18 months. I signed up for Uruky just last week, but I sense I'll stick around for much longer. Please continue being awesome!

thesdev··on GitHub Actions down again today
Next thing you're gonna tell us you're SRE at GitHub.
thesdev··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
It does appear that way, but when you click on register you get an account valid for one day, without having to fill in any data whatsoever.
thesdev··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
Just this morning I was helplessly looking at r/ecosia for a way to get rid of the new AI tab they've added (there's no way). Signed up for Uruky, let's see how it fares.
thesdev··on Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
If anyone can afford burning cash for his ego it's the richest man in the world with the biggest ego in the world.
thesdev··on Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
I hope he appeals. Not cheering for Musk, cheering for the fight.
thesdev··on How do I cancel my ChatGPT subscription?
Didn't a judge order they need to keep all chats because of the NYT case? Has the situation changed?
thesdev··on Claude Opus 4.6
What's the password? I only see ****.
thesdev··on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
Copilot is anything you want it to be inside Microsoft. Heck even Office is Copilot nowadays.
thesdev··on From stealth blackout to whitelisting: Inside the Iranian shutdown
What the parent said. Our government has the right to kill its own people, and in thousands at that, nothing for you to see here /s

Parent is what we call a cyber soldier in Iran. They probably were on the streets in the past weeks shooting at protesters.

thesdev··on Just the Browser
And then in the same article he goes to write that Firefox "will evolve into a modern AI browser", which makes AI sound like an intrinsic trait. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence if you ask me.
thesdev··on Iran Goes Into IPv6 Blackout
Yep, everything connecting to the Internet goes through the TIC.

thesdev··on Show HN: My not-for-profit search engine with no ads, no AI, & all DDG bangs
Searching for "DOMContentLoaded" gives me an error "'noresults' is not valid JSON" and the page gets stuck in an infinite refresh loop.

Edit: It's actually unrelated to the search term, I get this for anything I search for. I'm using Vivaldi Android with adblocker on, maybe that's the problem.

thesdev··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Why didn't they have the AI write a JS runtime instead of this acquisition?
thesdev··on Is Germany on the brink of banning ad blockers?
I wonder how AI has survived Germany's seemingly strict copyright law.
thesdev··on Fight Chat Control
The individual MEPs' positions are wrong, it's not 1:1 with the national government's position as the website suggests.
thesdev··on Microsoft Introduces 'Copilot Mode' in Edge
> For decades, the way we’ve used browsers has remained linear: open a tab (or 20), search for something, read a page, repeat. It’s a model that’s worked well, but it hasn’t fundamentally changed.

Maybe it doesn’t need to change if it's working well? Have you considered that?

A big part of it is OpenWebDocs, which is a mix of volunteers and tech companies.

thesdev··on A proposal to restrict sites from accessing a users’ local network
Off-topic: Is the placement of the apostrophe right in the title? Should it be "a users' local network" (current version) or "a user's local network"?

thesdev··on Firefox Tracking Protection Breaks Twitter/X
I think the issue here is that they finally switched the default domain from twitter.com to x.com.
thesdev··on Clicks – Physical keyboard for iPhone
No, it has been just announced, first shipment happens in February.
thesdev··on Next.js 14
I think they were thinking of the App Router becoming stable a few months back, and that was kind of the main feature of 13 I'd argue. Personaly that's when I migrated my codebase too and was a little shocked to hear they are already releasing a new major version.
