Arguably, the vast majority of users are "computer illiterates", and an OS should cater to the majority. So in a sense, OP has a point.

You obviously have never had to deal with a disability. I would swap with a fat person every day. Reading your "complaint" makes me seriously sad, because what you perceive as a problem is just the tip of the iceberg. Its like

The person I replied to wrote about indoor gardening. So sustainability was always out of the question. Besides, you dont have to go back to preindustrial times. My parents had enough "land" to grow food for us. It basically e

I find it pretty ironical that people seem to want to move to Von der Leyens vision of the future. As a EU citizen, my trust in what recently has been going down is almost non-existant.

Git is extremely easy to "self host". What makes things complicated are the web interfaces around code hosting, and all their supposedly important features. These days, Prs, issues, forums, wikis and all that seem to be synonymo

If you dont know the answer to the question you just raised, having a discussion is pretty much useless, because it is so obvious. Just because I have fun building thinks doesn't mean I don't care about the tools to do so?

You can't afford a $10 plastic container for growing plants? If that is true (which I doubt), I would be willing to drop you a few bucks via PayPal.

Ha! I grew up in a rural area, "communal" if you may. And leaving that hellhole of dishonesty and depression was one of the most important moves in my life. I guess it really depends on how you deal with communal life and how m

I read this attitude very often on HN. "If someone else has already built it before, your effort is a waste of time." To me, it has this "Someone else already makes money from it, go somewhere else where you dont have compe

It is a valueable learning experience. Especially if you are naiv enough like me, to actually give police a call after someone threatened you with death. Pretty sobering when the guy on the other end of the line just flips you off with &q

Same here, EU citizen who thinks parents should do some parenting, after all. However, try to confront "modern" parents with your position. Many of them will fight you immediately, because they think the state is supposed to do

Time to spend some of this excess money on a bit of security tightening? I hear we're talking about a 9 digit figure.

I wasn't refering to the model, but the frontend program. Maybe you dont consider devs as users?

Do you suggest there is a difference when you talk to a human employee? Telling a customer the plain truth isn't really what your employer wants, and might get you fired.

Sure, server-side. What I am talking about is user-facing programs. That is why I mentioned codex as an example.

I love how AI gave the command-line and TUI interfaces a kind of Second Renaissance. It is not just AI that loves CLIs. It is especially blind people like me, who still use a lot of text-mode tools for their implicit accessibility. I gav

This is probably the worst piece of policy on whole HN. It has a evil feel to it. If HN wasn't so interesting/valueable, this would be the single reason NOT to use it at all.

Sure, every interaction in society is a tradeoff... However, I must destroy your dreams. Being disabled almost always means surrendering control over your own life to others. Or, better phrased, constantly fighting to keep control from b

The topic is MacBook, so my criticism is a little off. However, I really dont believe in this "local LLM" promise from Apple. My phone already gets noticeably warm if I answer 5 WhatsApp messages. And looses 5% of battery durin

Blind user here. Reality is, we are so disadvantaged in this world that we will gladly accept any tool that is useful. Almost nobody would ever read the TOS. Its a bit like with cars... Sure, there are some urban exceptions, but truth i
