GIMP's UI is too painful to make me use it. Please make the UI logical and respect system conventions. Standard keyboard shortcuts on my Mac do not work with GIMP. This is horrible for average users that want their software to just wor

How bizarre that such a primitive technique could be banned. You’d think elaborate fishing lures and rods would also be illegal if using your hands is wrong.

Their messaging application had horrible security in past, and there have been many discussions on HN about Telegram vs Signal. Why would I trust them for ID when their messaging was suspicious....

The internet today vs 12 years ago seems heavily biased towards video content. Different landscape, where Facebook and Google/YouTube now account for a majority of all internet traffic. If YouTube manipulates people, they’ll lose suppo

I would like Apple to sell e-ink or Qualcomm's mirasol displays, so we could swap them and save power. Would be amazing. I generally have enough ambient light to see my screen. And I don't want to use my phone at night anyway. Eve

Apple doesn't fully support PWAs. If they embraced it enthusiastically, I think then we'd have a great experience.

For some context, I have been banned from taking photos at athletic events at my private college, but they have done so without following any legal or disciplinary procedures. And a separate issue is the NCAA's deliberate misinterpreta

People who come from DSLRs and then whine about Sony ergonomics should give film cameras a fair shake. I think it's a familiarity thing, and most people shoot zooms from what I've seen. After shooting film cameras predominantly fo

You can trigger shutter via headphone button, so there's a way to also trigger a flash... would just be complicated. Or use slaves to detect the phone's built in flash, but cover it to dim the light. Then your off camera flashes w

Misleading title. Implication is that Romans don't clean their anus as thoroughly by not using toilet paper. But it turns out they use a brush to clean. Amazing.

Apple willingly permits any application to subvert user control. You can't record your iPhone screen trough the lightning connection while using Netflix app. You can't send a fake GPS signal to apps, give fake contact files, or li

I already suspected this due to getting more posts from my friends based on who I texted, and they were Android users. It's fucking annoying. Also, using the same wifi network leads to getting friend suggestions

I've never used Zelle and was quite annoyed when they were injected into my banking data. Very shady nonsense from the big banks. I ended up closing my Bank of America account for other reasons, but suffice it to say BofA is horrible.

Is this something new? Or is it old news? If nothing has changed, it's unusable for much of the United States. I live in rural Oregon, and it could be a helpful service. Last I checked, it was restricted and not available.

Page loads < 600ms on mobile are a non-issue. All of the RTT talk and TTFB is not worth the tradeoff. If we can have this paradise where all content is prefetched and served/encrypted from Google to only save a fraction of a second,

From a cursory scan of the comments, it looks like people are frustrated about not having control over their devices. Right now, iOS and Android control the user, restricting freedom and choices. For example iOS won't let me record my

I tried installing ML on my T5, but then it was stolen by roommates. How long have they supported T5i? It seemed to be a very convoluted process, and I had no luck, but also mine was T5, not T5i.
