> Apple’s software is the best [...] compared to Google's or Microsoft's

Honestly, that's such a low bar to hit.

"This project is source-available. Commercial use is strictly prohibited."

Nevertheless, very cool. Love those keyboards, planning to replace my K1 with a new one soon.

I see a lot of comments that are "somebody should fork this" or "community will fork it" or similar.

I didn't see a single comment of "I will fork it" type.

Love hammerspoon. I use it to map double CMD to swap between the terminal and the browser.

Tell HN: Email from Anthropic "Share your feedback on your experience"

selectnull — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 23:02:10 +0000

I just received an email from Anthropic that begins with " We're reaching out to people who recently canceled their Claude Code subscription in order to better understand your experience and what led to your decision."

I was very glad to be able to give the feedback which can be summarized as "no opencode, no subscription".

I fully support the Anthropic decision to run their business the way they choose to and at the same time I reserve the right to use the software that I'm comfortable with.

I'm willing to cancel my Claude subscription because of this.

It's not that simple.

In the email you have linked to, he does not support tivoization. He simply says that he finds the term offensive (which is really funny coming from him).

Torvalds has also publicly stated that he doesn't think that tivoization benefits users, but it's not his battle to fight. More info on that topic can be found in the linked YT (linked at the precise time he is answering the question about tivoization, but the whole video is about GPL v2 vs GPL v3).

Instead of that, put this in .gitconfig:

There can be more than one post about it.

The difference being that JS is used a lot and XSLT not so much.

As someone who hasn't upgraded yet, what is causing the 15s wait after a locked system? That sounds terrible.

selectnull — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 09:15:56 +0000

There is something funny going on in the benchmarking section. If you look at the charts, they don't benchmark the same servers in 4 examples.

Each of the 4 charts have data for Ferron and Caddy, but then include data for lighttpd, apache, nginx and traefik selectively for each chart, such that each chart has exactly four selected servers.

That doesn't inspire confidence.

I belong to the "small business" group and as such I would be entitled to "free" plan. But, I would actually prefer to pay and have the assurance that the team will be here to maintain it.

Please list the prices.

So much talk about paying open source developers and when someone actually does something about it and try to make some money, it's again not good enough.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

The tool itself has no ads. What's wrong with a README having an ad?

A few years ago I was thinking about that same problem and came up with this: https://github.com/selectnull/endpoint

I don't see myself having the time to implement all the features I sometimes (half-assed) think of. It's semi useful tool, sometimes.
