   I think giving taxpayer money to anybody without basic checks is a bad idea and it will undoubtedly be exploited by people who don't need it or choose to spend it on the wrong things while neglecting their child's needs; I don&#

   If you wants to make their own forge where LLM-assisted work is prohibited, go ahead. Waiting for people to go all-in on your service and then kicking them out however is frankly rotten thing to do; but entirely expected of Codeberg, which

    You’ve been on HN since 2007 whilst he has been here since 2022, yet you deride him for being an HN “entrepreneur”?

    I cannot tell if you are being farcical or not. The article is very blatantly not that, if you take more than a cursory glance at it.

    I use a custom browser extension that is mainly used for filtering out pet peeves and regex matches and was wondering what everybody else used (if they use anything at all?).
