Despite your implication how is Oreboro Party far-right, wikipedia actually states they are:

characterized as left-wing, right-wing, populist, nationalist, and conservative

and:

Ideology: Populism, Swedish nationalism, Left-conservatism, Anti-corruption, Anti-establishment, Anti-immigration

Political position: Syncretic

So basically everyone can (dis)like it for some reason...

I disagree. I think it were the content creators and influencers who started it to avoid demonetizing and soft-censorship (the content not being promoted instead of being banned) and then regular people displayed sheep behaviour and started monkeying it. Tiktok influencers are perfectly capable of originating something when their bottom line is concerned.

Nice. I noticed that the games they play are mostly for 4-8 players, so this is quite a overkill. Not too surprising - despite our wishes LAN parties nowadays will be just a shadow of those we had in our teens.

Obviously the solution is to have a SKILL.md which will make an agent translate it to a humanese!

New comment by Hitton in "So Reddit has decided that plain HTML is unsafe"

Hitton — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 13:54:04 +0000

Old reddit still works for me even without login though. I'm too lazy to figure out which from the multiple of userscripts and addons I use allows it, but apparently the block is done half-assedly and easy to circumvent.

This is stupid analysis. Complaining without nuance about "D004 - parameter has no description" suggests the article was written by an AI agent, because some parameters simply don't need any description. Prime example is "url" parameter explicitly mentioned in the article - unless there are multiple possible url parameters, adding the description just bloats context.

I wouldn't be surprised if consoles got replaced by video game streaming. Not the next generation and probably not even the generation after that, but that will be most likely it.

Too bad Apple wouldn't allow the registration requiring the tapping - it would have been cool if whole social network was a tree with a single root - the founder.

Ofc it's probably for the better if it's to have a chance to spread at least a little.

I see. It didn't make sense to me but I just found that Vultr has snapshots, which is probably what you are using.

Can you explain more about the vm-start/vm-stop? I don't understand why you start/halt the VM and wait for Tailscale, you could just keep it running.

Hitton — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 12:53:43 +0000

Viewing this in Firefox on Linux I see the outline of the travels before the map loads, then the map loads over it and I can't see it anymore.

New comment by Hitton in "Show HN: Aura – Like robots.txt, but for AI actions"

Hitton — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 16:00:47 +0000

Hm, I don't see much reason to use it unless the website in question is paid. Web today is run on ad revenue and not only won't the site extract any revenue from the agent, it even won't look as a person for ad purposes.

Canada is bigger than USA.

It would be ludicrous to say that justice won, but I'm glad he is finally free.

Just not being available in app stores would effectively stop its usage.

Thanks, it beggars belief that they could publish the article without such substantial piece of information.

What? Elsevier doesn't pay reviewers either.

Liver donation in particular is easy, because they can take just half of it and it will grow back.

New comment by Hitton in ""Anna's Archive" blocked following publishers' complaint"

Hitton — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 11:03:19 +0000

an order to disable https://annas-archive.org through a DNS block was issued to Italian ISPs

Rather toothless. No experienced user is using their ISP's DNS anyway.
