That doesn’t exactly instill confidence, honestly…

I have a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 I’ve wanted to get running a modern kernel for a while. Ah, I always regretted not getting on the CL’s with this kind of support!

Unfortunately, a lot of this behavior is very common in online communities generally. Addicts or mentally ill folk with no outlet offline take it online to some authority member in the community, or really anyone who will spare them a secon

… no, you shouldn’t use AI for simple reformatting of code without the newlines. We have syntax parsers and reformatters for this. Use them, then put that into the LLM for commenting, if you really want to.

You overexaggerate, but even so, that would be a huge step up (even if imperfect) from bring dependant on GitHub and GitLab for you to be relevant.

Discoverability. Without federation, people are pretty much dependant on GitHub to make sure their software gets out there.

If people want to find software, they search GitHub. If you self-host a forge, no one will ever find your software unless you’re a preestablished big name (like Blender). To avoid throwing your code into the void, you’re pretty much forced

I started printing out my calendar every morning on a dot-matrix printer as my alarm. It sure does its job, since it’s so loud and grating it wakes me up without fail. Needless to say, I don’t find it as ASMR-esque as OP, haha.

Putting Keynesian economics next to nationalism on the evil list was so funny, I almost spit out my coffee.

I think it’s pretty obvious that the cringe-worthy part is the story-selection. To refer to anoyher headline, do they run a story every time some Englishman fucks a goat? No, of course not; it’s only newsworthy if it’s [minority you should

Hats are pretty objectively an ineffecient use of cloth, here. Roads are incredibly expensive to maintain societally because cars cause so much wear-and-tear; cars, maintenance, and insurance are expensive on the individual; lack of foot-tr

I would argue it being proprietary would be completely unacceptable, for such a position of importance. In any case, Git has become tremendously entrenched over the past couple decades. Anything that hopes to replace it would have to be sig

Slop vibe-coded 17 hours ago on a day-old GitHub account? Fantastic, thank God this is a Show HN!

Money is the international language, after all. Why would oligarchs limit their influence to their own country?

Chess is actually an incredibly good counter-example: The moment women’s chess clubs and teams started proliferating, women started participating much more. Chess had a “guy’s club” connotation to them, and women were effectively excluded b

The vast majority of software on Google Play is absolute spyware-laden slop. There are turstworthy apps, sure, but they are drops in an ocean. F-Droid’s trustworthy-to-ad-ridden-slop ratio is pretty much definitionally lower than Google’s,

Incredibly small concession that doesn’t warrant this article’s absolutely insane framing: “Even less of a problem than we thought,” “very, very good news,” “already sounded perfectly manageable.” The author is so giddy to defend this monop

Correct. The human who shares the copy is the one who engages in copyright infringement.

I’m not worried in the slightest about jobs. A world where acceptable slop is created on demand is one where people lose their curiosity and drive. Why bother practicing drawing if you can prompt an acceptable facsimile of your image to lif

The first gimmick portfolio I’ve been genuinely impressed by. Beautiful, authentic and actually usable. The scanlines effect is chique, sound-effects on-point, and it is internally consistent in a way most of these sorts of portfolios aren’

You can be Dr. House MD only when you have the rep and skills of Dr. House MD. I think Linus definitely cleared that threshold.
