The percentage of their party apps, vs people using the first party app, just based on Google play downloads is very miniscule. It is like saying using youtube-dl to consume YouTube is killing it. I mean we all love sponsor block and uBlock

Sam Altman is on the board of Reddit, with all the peddling he is doing with US congress to limit other companies from building a "competitor", I think he is the one putting pressure on Reddit to stop API access, to hinder others.

Ugh, u may not like the following but the devices you are using to get on the internet, are used to collect a treasure trove of information, to conduct information warfare. And regardless of whatever your bullshit political specrum is.... t

Twitter, YouTube, Google, AWS, TikTok? Or all the nerds posting screenshots to Twitter or posting screenshots of Twitter to HN and reddit, googling programming related stuff, using services deployed on AWS, and TikTok tech content creators

Isn't Sam Altman on their board? I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who pushed for these API changes, to restrict others from building a competitor to OpenAI.

Have you read the first comment on this thread and on the reddit thread?

Some application in the future, that turns out to be AI? That is some level of hammering a square into a circle as I see it (confirmation bias?). This quickly falls apart, since GitHub Copilot is also available as an extension on intelliJ,

Exactly, make it smart, and call it a day. I mean, watch this ad, before you can cook rice, brilliant.

I tried, first the signup page doesn't show the form on 3 separate browsers. Paused my adblockers, nah no luck. I don't remember what I did exactly using dev tools but, noticed the form was there, but just not being rendered. Some

Yowzzaa, but the damm Beta on Tesla can't still think of slowing down while cornering on steep curves, throwing people on to the side and not navigate into a dead end that drops into the ocean. This is not an anecdote, it's my per

Ok, I finally see you what you meant by landfill, I mean Google is synonymous with search, for anyone. How many on HN think of Google as privacy invasive and hostile, yet use it as primary search engine? They literally redirected you to the

Ah, right, Lol, I didn't think of that at all. But could this be a wider problem than this? Many open source projects that could've been "sponsored" by someone like you, but ended up being commercialized by vested intere

I agree with you, but the product != Infrastructure. I don't want to overpay my taxes, drive one type of car, that refuels only at a particular fuel station, and it be a judge on when and where my car can drive, restrict me from visiti

Sending to Google is, asking you to go back to the road most info is accessed from Google, it's not a landfill, they're not sending you to some random troll website hosted on tor. They don't want interactions with HN plain an

Genuinely curious, but why didn't you? Didn't the project gain enough visibility before you noticed this post, or was there any other reason which would be helpful for others to know.

If someone doesn't want you to come into their house, even if you found the address through a friend it's not rude. They neither are scolding you nor berating you like certain websites that are linked from HN. They just redirect y

When did I ever say that, HN is free to talk about them, but they don't want you to visit them. And I think it's up to them to choose with whom they want to interact.

You can't just claim that without knowing the context. Also I think, if some website doesn't want you to link to it, and politely redirects you. You shouldn't deploy code evade referrer for that site particularly. C'mon

Java has been stable for years I think, they don't switch frameworks and paradigms every weekend. Code you wrote in 10 years ago in Java8 most probably don't even need a refactor for Java 22. And funny enough just yesterday there

Eventually if anything is popular enough it attracts, advertisers, corporations, govts, spammers, influencers and what not. It's true from Reddit, to AI and crypto. Enjoy stuff while it's new, even if all the apps reroute to a new
