You can still get a smaller apartment and lower your bills by using less energy. You don't have to build a nuclear plant to be more mindful of the electricity you use
Well, food you don't buy $10 bags of chips. Utilities you use as little as possible, transport you buy a used car instead of going to debt and paying $1000/mo. for a brand new SUV.

I'm just saying, if people keep buying, why would companies lower prices..? They're there to make money and prices are based on offer and demand.

I disagree, I bought the house legally, no reason to keep me out. Or at least it doesn't seem fair

I see a domain name as property. Am I allowed to buy a house close to the border? Yes. If they change the law, I don't think it's fair to take the house away from me.
I'm not from France but I see the same thing everywhere. We need to vote with out wallet. If a bag of chips is $10, don't buy it.

When they got it, they were presumably citizens of a EU country

Way too complicated. Tiny Office is nice because it's minimalistic and intuitive. Bad comparison

Wait--it wasn't a joke..?
This is incredibly satisfying. Nice work!

Is it intelligent, or is it a tool?
Re:Apple HomeView on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @03:34PM (#50077363)
WHY
I see, like how many cell phones are in the household and what brand
Can someone explain to me what kind of data it collects, and what value could that data have to advertisers or anyone else?

I guess that's why houses are so expensive, now

Feels like you don't know how bad Poland had it in the past...

Not to be that guy, but I'm pretty sure that "Polish" is capitalized. "polish oil" is what I use on my leather shoes

Ah, that makes sense

WOW, the want you to pay for articles like these? It's just a handful of paragraphs
Re:Plan Mode Is Dead on Saturday September 26, 2026 @04:32AM (#49854423)
I use plan mode for anything that touches more than 2-3 files because I want to know what code will be added beforehand.

I guess people don't even look at code anymore

Re:Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy on Thursday September 24, 2026 @04:20AM (#49827777)
I agree with that, in Italy the telephone lines, highways and trains were privatized the same way, but that's just because politicians are corrupt and they were able to convince people that public companies had to make money like they were private and operating at a loss was bad.
Re:Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy on Thursday September 24, 2026 @03:40AM (#49827489)
Does it need to be profitable without subsidies? Governments run a lot of stuff at a loss as a service to citizens. For instance highways, trains, post offices etc.
I see
Re:How we made claude.ai 3x faster in two weeks on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @04:18PM (#49821911)
MAYBE, but the bar is so low... It's not that it's good in any way
Re:How we made claude.ai 3x faster in two weeks on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @04:08PM (#49821792)
I used Opus 5.5 today for the first time hoping the writing would be more bearable and it SUCKS.

Why can't they fix that

It's just a marketing stunt. I can't get Claude to align buttons properly most of the times, they're not going to conquer the world
Re:Claude Opus 5.5 on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @03:42PM (#49807029)
Yes, it's unbearable. Hopefully they've actuallu lly fixed it.
I don't know if the destruction of many industries in the EU--including manufacturing--can be called an annoyance.

All the EU bureaucrats can do is regulate, that's why it's so difficult to do business in the EU and that's why there is so little innovation over here. If Microsoft and Apple were started in the EU they would've been shut down within a week because you can't operate from a garage.

I guess that every once in a while this might have a positive outcome for consumers, a broken clock is right twice a day.

Re:Show HN: Sigabrt.dev – cronjob monitor with an SSH TUI on Sunday September 20, 2026 @10:29AM (#49776260)
Because OP is trying to promote his project and get feedback, and you post about a competing product, to me the message is: don't look at the project OP wants you to check out, I've been using this instead and and it's amazing!

Who cares what you're using, I see show HN posts to be about OP's project, seems like a dick move to me to diverge attention to some other project. I just don't understand the motivation
