Would be fun to load text from some book from Gutenberg.

Edit: found that functionality. Nice!

It’s remarkable functional.

I’ve gone weeks using no other browser than Dillo. Usually also disable CSS for most sites.

Built in custom CSS for all sites is also a treat.

You can easily find my home address by starting with my HN profile.

I do understand what you are getting at. I just don’t find people repulsive by being curious of me; even if they find materials I myself did not make public.

As an aside, I sometimes stumble upon websites of people who write and show pictures of themselves and their family. I find them beautiful[0] to visit and hope more people would do that, as was more common 20 years ago.

No. Why should I find you repulsive?

You might find something I wrote interesting. Then whatever public info there is on me helps you to get to know me a bit better. You may stop there and forget about me, or you may try to reach out.

There is nothing wrong about that.

Side-by-side didn’t do it for me but flicker made all the difference!

This is great, wish that browsers would implement a better algorithm.

Also good execution with the demo page.

That’s hilarious. I hope to see some fun spinoffs.

Ran comic chat on a freshly installed Win98 (or 95, don’t remember) Pentium II.

> kill-region-dwim fixes a decades-old papercut. Set it to 'emacs-word and hitting C-w with no active region kills a word backwards instead of signalling an error.

Thank you! No more:

(defun cutregion-or-killword (beginning end) "Kills region if marked else backward kills word." (interactive "r") (if (use-region-p) (kill-region beginning end) (backward-kill-word 1)))

antics9 — Mon, 18 May 2026 20:29:43 +0000

This weekend I installed Haiku on my old Thinkpad X40. It’s fast and surprisingly stable. Emacs, VLC works like a charm. Computer to slow for web browsing. The BeProductive office suite is a masterpiece of application at a 9MB download; although not open source.

Then I installed Haiku on my XPS13 under KVM/Qemu. Everything runs blazingly fast. I’m thinking of maybe using that install for organizing my photos. The metadata functionality built into the BeFS is great for that.

I must say that I am really impressed.

From the comments here it seems like people are stress prompting their builds instead of planning and reviewing.

If one model seems to be a bit off during a session I just switch to another (Opencode) and plan and review from there.

Why not be real and multi faceted in both thinking and writing? Trying to be perfect in writing just makes you plastic.

By the looks of it, I don't even think I'm replying to a human.

I loved my MP01. However, GSM is not available anymore where I live.

I used the CAT S22 for a while but it just isn't the same.

If they release a 5G MP03 I might buy one. I don't see the point of a Punkt smartphone.
