It's a step forward. If someone makes an app which is some Electron/WebView thing and call it "native", my thoughts are immediately rather illegal. Cool, so it's UI framework that doesn't actually make a webpag

What's native about it? It seems like custom GPU rendered thingy with nothing "native". Linux GUI frameworks are hot potato, I tried to write "native-feeling" app with taskbar icon lately on Linux (Cinnamon), intuit

I'm currently downloading Ollama and going to write a simple proof-of-concept with Qwen as local "frontend", talking to OpenAI GPT as "backend". I think the idea is sound, but indeed needs retraining of GPT (hmm lik

Either this already exists, or someone is going to implement that (should I implement that?): - assumption LLM can input/output in any useful language, - human languages are not exactly optimal away to talk with LLM, - internally LLMs

I quit. The clankers won. I don't see any proof that software development is not dead. Software engineering is not, and it's much more than writing code, and it can be fun. But writing code is dead, there is no point of doing

I did it once, I'm pretty much sure Tim did not read the email, why would he, someone in his team did. I had an awful experience with AASP, no computer, no fix, no timelines (and money was tight), tried to escalate as much as I could a

I know it's bad, but yeah, I just hate waiting, it's stupid. So whenever I can I just go through "first class" security and nothing bad happens, just skipping the queue. Look decent, look busy, keep on walking and bam yo

CrossOver support of Lightroom is just as bad a wine... Realistically it will take $20-50k of dev work to make it work (and some other apps as a side effect).

I would happily pay even a subscription to Wine, if they manage to get Lightroom running smoothly. So far I need to run VM or use a Mac just to do that.

"Write markdown. Ship emails." - I see a particular group of people interested in this, but they have their tools already.

I presume it's a product strategy to provide a box of "compliant" libraries/services, so other companies can quickly tick and sign a checkbox saying "we use compliant VPN", because someone else is going to look

This looks like a very guest-hostile intercom, I would just stare at it and read instructions, then read them again, then think why is it A and Z and not up and down... And also why I cannot just enter the number. At some point I would give

I used to have PDAs with Windows Mobile, hmm even a BlackBerry. Oh gosh, navigation apps were absolutely crap back then, screens were crap, cameras were crap. Video calls via "3g", if any of your friends/family also had a 3g-

I'm using it since a couple of months, I wanted a web-GUI that looks modern, so not installing Webmin anymore in 2026. Cockpit has some basic functionalities, one of them is "it just works". Supports 2FA via PAM, it's a

Not bad, almost checks all the marks I want. A) Good quality, locally run model, and surprisingly fast and working on my CPU. B) It transcribes after the session is finished (aka stopped push-to-talk, or after stopping the listening). C) Ha

I'm not looking for STT->AI ->TTS, I'm looking for truly good voice-to-text experience* on Linux (and others). Siri/iOS-Dictation is truly good when it comes to understanding the speech. Something this level on Linux (

Depends on purchasing power, how much sauce you consume, value added/quality - $12 is often not much, cost of two sandwiches, or 4-pack of beer, half price of one lunch meal, 1/3rd of Netflix subscription, etc... What's crazy

There was some Show HN some weeks ago on VCS/diff that operates on AST instead of lines/chars, anyone remembers its name?

It's 2026, serving semi-static webpages should be a solved problem for at least 30 years. I'm still puzzled that HN-hug-of-death is a thing.

Oh! It's not my GitLab@Hetzner that's not working, it's GitHub. Just when I decided to opensource my project.

I did some minor research, I've only found that I can ssh into it in Dev Mode. Is there a way to run a fullblown nice terminal with keyboard over bluetooth and mosh? I'm dreaming of e-ink portable terminal.

Anecdotal data, based on a sample of 1 (aka me). I'm originally Polish, but I would say my mother tongue is English. I also learned Latin as a kid/teen. Then learning any other languages is much easier, I also learned German and s

Is there a PDF somewhere? I'm not really able to follow YT videos.

This. We could be good buddies. I'm not understanding this OS and I'm extremely confused that this post got so much traction on HN. Gosh, either I'm too young, or too old, or too nerdy. I'm not critiquing the project its
