Hacker News Reader

Say I am willing to accept pill number 3, which essentially means giving up the world we know and live in.

First of all, this means a RACE OF ARMS of AI models fighting each other and in the end the party with more AI resources will win, while consuming a shit ton of resources.

Second of all, the more I believe AI will be able to do anything, the more I should focus on things that require a human (your words, not mine). Therefore, the only correct stance I see is not believe in AI and therefore not use it, or fully believe in AI and therefore become an expert in something it cannot do, i.e. not using it either.

Edit: great read, amazingly written

(on Github https://github.com/subframe7536/Maple-font). It has amazing readability, looks nice, is compatible with NF if you use that. I received compliments from people looking over my shoulder for my f'ing font?! Huge shoutout to subframe7536 ^^

torgeroson The European public DNS that makes your Internet safer

They have not posted anything on social media in a long time and there was some downtime a few months ago. I would really like to use this primarily, but it is really a problem when your DNS suddenly becomes unavailable without any note from the devs ^^

torgeroson &udm=14 – easy access to an AI-free Google search

Fyi, google just announced a new "Web" search option (in the ...More menu next to Images, News and so on). This skips all the AI stuff, too.

torgeroson I built an online PDF management platform using open-source software

If you're so keen on the open source aspect, could you make the sources of your website and the tools involved, too? Otherwise there is no use to it

torgeroson Multiple Displays on a Mac Sucks

To be fair, microsoft only first figured that out on Windows 11, too. On Win 10 and before, windows also used to be all over the place when plugging in or removing an external display...
