Accounts like that should be deleted.

On https://news.ycombinator.com/active it's still on the front page.

You're underestimating Microsoft. They're fully capable of fucking up without the help of AI. Although I heard it's really good at that.

They are already forcing OpenAI to keep all logs. Go figure.

However, MS do everything they can to make plugins not work in VSCodium. And the plugin marketplaces are separate now.

This could change on a daily basis, and it's a valid concern anyway.

So much for people preaching Android as an alternative to Apple's walled garden. Enshittification advances apace.

No opposition. Just block the IP address.

ygritte — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 06:46:28 +0000

I do hope that Juno gets another extension. It's obviously worth it. Its mission is an impressive demonstration that no sooner do we take a closer look at something than we realize we knew nothing and don't understand what we find.

So get ready to be legally bound to leave your front door unlocked because some people store stolen loot behind locked doors!

Came here to say something similar. The sheer amount of IP addresses one has to block to keep malware and bots at bay is becoming unmanageable.

Could this be abused to simulate something like SVN externals? I always found git submodules to be a very bad replacement for that.

Agreed. Do the kids even still know about him?

Any platform that introduces hardware ray tracing for the first time will do so for the sake of emojis.

I would love a mirror ball emoji, why can't we have nice things?

What a wonderfully hacky project!

Noob question: How were the diagrams created?

A good space invader has to look badass and threatening. Extra points if it waves around its pincers in a grabbing motion.

And, wouldn't you know it, it actually does not also apply equally to the alternative (humans).
