The high end one that's recommended is the New Dell XPS 14 that essentially looks like Macbook Pro. Also Michael Dell is a notable supporter of Omarchy, so hopefully that means some good support and stability.

I have seen Omarchy to rapidly accept PRs that make it available and fully functional on older hardware. I think this is a very exciting progress even when I'm not into tiling DEs.

If the watch gets any popular, it will take at most weeks for someone to vibecode open source app for this.

It's the same as how by "we will prevent teenagers from using social networks" they mean "we really want to connect everyones ID with their social account identity".

Oh wow, that's a pretty strong request to ban open-weight models by choking them with review processes where who-knows-who defines what is ok in a model and what is not. After open weight model is released, it will take how long to rev

With this level of spying it becomes important to learn to use technologies that are outside of this system that people on HN usually laugh at. Tor, VPNs, Bitcoin, Bitchat, Nostr based socials, Signal and get some extra clean hardware (phon

One option is to use Obscura, so then you at least spread the trust to two parties (one of which is Mullvad). Not great, but better.

It's stupid when one of the CEOs of a private VPN company decides to fund political actors. That's just PR issue bound to happen. Funding bad actors bites you every single time - so maybe have a chat about if you have seen this co

That's not true. Most money laundering is in USD and then stablecoins (USDT, etc). NFTs are a thing of the past and the big majority was not on bitcoin anyway. So no, bitcoin is not a major player. If you would completely eradicate bi

I like DOSBox pure, because that allows you to put the full games into a single zip file and so you then essentially have the equivalent of per-game file on consoles.

I want to do that. Last week there was an article from a person that vibed their whole system in assembly and it was super fast and it did exactly what the person wanted and nothing else. That was eye opening.

This will probably finally push me to migrate away from Bitwarden. Somehow over the years the UI was getting worse and worse too. It's more steps to add custom hidden fields than it used to, etc.

Some retrogaming devices have multi-boot options where you can pick between android and linux (e.g. Anbernic RG353V).

In case of error you talk to the seller, if they are reasonable and care about their reputation, they pay you back (e.g. the Square seller devices have options for this). If they don't, you can try suing them. There's a wide grou

It's also couple percent cheaper to send money internationally using bitcoin as the "rails" when compared to e.g. Wise. Even for sending money from classical bank in one country to a classical bank in another country. On bigg

Allen Farrington makes a solid case in this essay [1] about deflation being the more effective mode of economy. [1]: http://x.com/i/article/2045147796752175104

I think it depends if you pay them money. If you do, then you should indeed have strong expectations towards them and hold them accountable. If they provide a free service to you, then it's still reasonable to feel upset, but at the sa

I think Midnight Commander is still the most advanced TUI there is. It has so many hidden capabilities that you may not even know about. You can be connected over ssh to another computer, while browsing the inside of a compressed zip file

I think the effects of how the services operate in the background are observable by the real users at some point. Unfortunately it's often too late do something about it. You get hit by censorship when the overton window moves past you

I'll get the usual hate for this, but in this instance using bitcoin is safer, since it forces you to verify the transaction on your phone (i.e. you use your phone to pay - either scanning QR code or now NFC). In the US the Square pay

Very cool. It's great seeing non AI "low quality" videos that are just plain fun.

Search archive.org. All old games are archived. Since the games are no longer selling, imo this is fair.

Or maybe the government should not require companies to KYC you for every little stupid thing or action you do in this world. What happened to requiring only the information that's actually required? Why do I need to be KYCd in the sys

If you want to check for agent that can compute stuff, then you can let it compute sha256 of some small string... that's quite tricky for humans to do by hand :)
