Hum, I already have a phone with Slack / Email on. And it's only switched on during work hours. No messaging outside of that window. Why would that be different?

Ploum is one of the people getting me into blogging 12 or so years ago. I'm so glad to see it popup again here, it's like a big piece of nostalgia. And the piece is current. Thanks Ploum!

I never come to complain about websites, but clicking on this thing made my chrome freeze for a whole second on my MBP. What has Google become xD

TY for the article. You made me look into my server, and also found some strange activity on my docker containers. Good call!

Better, but the very first link I'm given is "Coursera to Combine with Udemy to Empower the Global Workforce with Skills for the AI Era" ^^

Those acquisition numbers will just keep becoming larger and larger until one day, when I'm old enough, someone will just acquire the only other player left in the field and Earth will be one single megacorporation.

Between this, the ads on paid plans, and the fragmentation of catalogues, we've come full circle.

excerpt 33 of why those platforms will end up dying, and everyone will go back to the old ways. Greed is such a powerful enshittification factor

New comment by jlengrand in "What you can get for the price of a Netflix subscription"

Really? Darn, that is such BS. I was already looking out to be fair, only reason I'm still there is because of my family plan and older parents who will struggle to switch.

That being said, I don't mind additional plans to be fair. Let me pay for what I use, not what you force down my throat. What I mind is the constant enshittification.

And worse, when you search they KNOW what you want to watch and will show you EVERYTHING they have that is NOT what you want. Infuriating, I reverted back to the old ways a year back and haven't regretted it.

Same with Spotify, who has a solid catalog that I was happy to pay for. Now I pay double, for podcasts, shows, and now even freaking videos that I have never wanted or asked for and have no choice to not take.

And now they also the audacity to show me ads on PAID PLANS.

They don't deserve our money, customer focus is long gone.

Genuinely hope some of that money is going to Bugsink, because that's the only way we keep seeing those alternatives alive and kicking

Interesting pricing model, and it seems the pain of Sentry is getting real those days. Many folks need something simpler, that just works. Totally support the idea. The alternative starting with a G has been mentioned a few times already, so I'll also mention that's been operating in the space and that I happily use : https://www.bugsink.com/. It's trying to solve the exact same pain.

Disclaimer : I know the owner :), so I may be biased. But generally I like to see more niche alternatives to the massive players in the field

> I had a running service written in htmx for some time. It is a clinic opening hour service to inform my patients when I will be available in which clinic. (Yes, I am not a programmer, but a healthcare professional.)

-> that was pretty freaking cool to read, loved it

also chuckled at the idea of my website making, health professional going all "What the fuck." in front of his codebase.

Well, as a potential end customer, I want to know why I can trust you. You product is free, and you're handling my money. You telling me your revenue model is through merchants gives me the confidence you're not gonna pull me a weird one.

Could be as simple as "But how do you make money then" in the FAQ.

New comment by jlengrand in "Show HN: Peanut – A Modern Money App"

jlengrand — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 09:32:27 +0000

The way we intend to make money is off of merchants in the future. -> Is this on the website? Couldn't see it anywhere and that makes it a big nono for me

Was so excited about Remarkable, and got disappointed with basically everything I was excited about. Not for me. I do look like the look and feel of the thing though, shame i know it won't fit what I need.
