The headline made me sad but this comment made me laugh. If only all life's problems could be handled with simple engineering. With all the machinery you'd have to stuff everywhere, there'd be a lot more problems.

Not that my opinion matters, but just to document it: I at first thought this was a new project, something having to do with identity. I clicked, and saw some messy images like someone was playing in GIMP. I looked at the logo, and it wasn&

It feels like Apple the PC is neglected for Apple the phone/tablet. If I'm looking for a mobile device, I'm looking at Apple. But for laptop and desktop, their offerings don't seem as great. The cloud approach is making

For one thing, XMPP does not have the same features. Try Wire and see for yourself. There's audio, video, voice messages, multiple device encryption. Maybe XMPP has improved, but it didn't work as well for mobile use.

They did in another comment on this page. I do not see any evidence that worries me. Perhaps if you're a famous terrorist, you won't want to use it, because your GIF searches might expose your evil plans. But I only needed a way t

Thanks for trying, but it appears to me you're paranoid. The user directory in Wire is public. It is no secret that you're on there. They need information about whom you're connected to for the service to work. I'm not w

You can't list a bunch of serious claims like the audio can be reconstructed with no additional information. There was a feud between the Signal people and Wire, so there is a lot of false info trying to smear Wire. GIF searches are ob

I found no value in the first two seasons. It's been on the front page of HN at least 4 times in the past couple weeks. I tried watching the third season hoping it was better. It's still stupid. It's like they just take some

Branding? I think it's basically an Ensure for geeks. "Soylent Green" is from an old science fiction. I seem to recall Soylent being started on Reddit years ago. They call a recipe "open source", and it grew inside

I am too. I hear people describing it where it sounds like something I'm supposed to like. But I watched all the previous episodes, and they were all stupid. I saw no depth. It was like a shallow version of that genre, which did have s

Maybe https://wire.com/ could allow decentralization someday?

They seem more friendly and open than the Signal guys. They're using similar encryption, go check out their GitHub for more info. It doesn't require a phone number and has multi-device encryption with desktop support. It has audio

That doesn't seem as good as Wire. Why should I bother with Signal? https://wire.com/

I understand that feeling, but it's too idealistic to be practical right now. We have to accept that convenience has won. These types of social networks depend on a critical mass of users. If the choice is to hold onto principles and l

Why don't people talk about https://wire.com/ ? It's encrypted and mostly open source. It has the most features I've seen including multiple devices, group chat, audio, desktop app.

What does the word "Materialistic" have to do with Hacker News? I did a web search to see if I'm missing something, but it looks like it's just a name that does not fit. How about "Hacker News client by Trung",

Just a heads up... Hacker News is not a free speech zone. The slightest negative emotion in a comment will have it either disappear or you banned. Even just writing a vulgar word is risky here. It is absolutely nothing like Usenet. This is

Why are you jealous when you can easily create your own website that does the same exact thing. You can think of your own added bonus and charge a different price. Too often we feel like because someone else did something first, or theirs a

It is not efficient to download Chromium for every app. I think Electron produces 60-80 MB binary files. I'm disappointed when someone uses Electron because it usually means a slow subpar experience.

A bird kills other birds in the nest, then leads humans to annihilate bee nests? This thing is pure evil.

Thank you! Wire is the best, with multiple device support, clean mobile app, and a desktop client. It'd be nice if it were a standard open protocol so everyone could implement it, and find a way to allow federation. I'd pay to hel

Yes, you can use ZFS on memory sticks. You can also "zfs send | zfs recv" to copy a single projects dataset snapshot. You don't need to use actual disks though, if someone wants to send you project files you can have them eit

I think this is most useful for cross-compatibility. Right now if a client uses FreeBSD ZFS, and you need to mount it to access project files on your Linux desktop, you can't if they used encryption. But after this is standard, you sho

Couldn't I call them myself and hold the phone up to a speaker playing the YouTube video? At least then after I annoy them they can hear me laugh as they hang up and sigh at how juvenile I am, and wonder why they're still my frien

Adobe's subscription model certainly excluded a segment of their previous userbase. But some people are more interested in Affinity Designer and Photo than Inkscape and GIMP, despite them being closed source. Designer is available in b

I really like the idea of this kind of thing, but I thought it was going to be nicely animated presentations. I was disappointed to see it's that Hank guy talking. He speaks in an annoying version of a newscaster voice, and it's d

How does not encrypting the kernel translate into a narrative worthy of such admiration? I feel like Apple has spent a lot of money and research into how to do brand marketing so that you would write this comment. I don't see how techn
