I have been writing quite a few comments against AI and they are all more upvoted than downvoted.

Oh no, we are trapped in a angry comments infinite loop! :-) Yeah, I wouldn't say it triggered me but we should definitely have flagged the angry comment and moved on, as per the HN guidelines . I was negatively surprised, I'm no

For all sorts of reasons, this will probably happen to the vast majority of LLM output copy-pastes here. It's a bit like copy pasting a search result link (anyone can do the search for themselves). LLM outputs don't provide the in

That's a totally valid concern that I also have and that does need to be addressed. I'm thinking of setting up mirrors for my stuff for this exact reason. Now that codeberg exists, that could be the solution and why not accept con

I'm not calling people or reasons unreasonable, but the level at which they are triggered. And I stand by my point: being mad that someone chooses to self host is unreasonable and no amount of accusing me of doing armchair psychology w

Do you have evidences that these individual HN accounts are from some cloud company mafia? I don't think this is it and I would not want to dismiss individual spontaneous, genuine feeling too early.

The term boomer is just ageist, and comments like this don't deserve any other answers than "stop being ageist". And nope, I'm not in the target, so I'm not being defensive here. Although we all know many nice peo

It's a widespread term. You just happened to not run into it yet or more likely you never made the connection. It happens. It's fine, but also we can't do much about this. The GitHub monopoly obviously doesn't help. Edit

Interesting. I suppose I need to try this if I ever happen to build something to which it could apply. Thanks for the inspiration. A third of a junior salary is not much but I guess it could help with at least turning a full time position i

That's good news. That'll make me consider using Anubis. Thanks for fighting the AI bots. You get some hate for this anime girl image but this paid white label thing is a good idea I think. It's nice we have alternative ways

Why would you think this? It is the self hosted part that bothers you? I self host my code. If you can't bother creating an account or sending an email to share your contribution, I guess I'm quite fine not to have it. I'm su

I get the annoyance of having to migrate (although migrating from gitea to forgejo was a matter or replacing the gitea binary with the forgejo binary up to until recently - completely painless), but you don't have to migrate. What are

[It should be overly clear that] there's nothing special in wanting to have control in one's own processes, in wanting to avoid monopolies, and for free software projects to want to rely on free software. There are also many other

I'll assume sarcasm (from your comment history) but for people actually believing this first degree: good luck debugging an incorrect regex if you haven't practiced regexes. Especially if it was generated by an llm.

If this takes off and becomes mainstream, will you show some inclusiveness towards poor people like me who will dare editing their org social files with an editor like Kate?

You can't ignore the responsibility of the tool's designers and sellers like this, and a phone cannot be likened to an utterly simple tool like a hammer. Facebook is just a social network. The Facebook app is just code. What matte
