Explains why the UX got shittier over the past 1.5 years.

Why not both. I'm sure that more visibility would result in more requests for press inquiries.
for now. at some point it will go down the same route as the restor disappear

Not everybody has access to AI. More than that, every prompt uses insane amounts of natural resources. So why not share it.
Re:Commodore Made a Digital Detox Phone That Isn't Dumb on Sunday June 21, 2026 @01:13PM (#48620634)
I would use that phone if I had the ability to customise it to my needs. I don’t want meta apps nor Spotify preinstalled, but I would take the ability to install signal.
Congrats, it’s a nice collection. I’m not a big fan of the visuals though, it looks too much like any cheap AI / blockchain project. That‘s just me though.
Thank you. Apart from really not wanting to give Twitter any visits, it’s also a pain in the ass if you don’t have the app installed and use proper privacy settings.

No problem with xcancel or nitter, I wish more people would share the links to these as well

Ja ja, maybe not as gut as the Scandinavians, but still better than many US Americans.

Looks interesting. But where’s the privacy policy or at least information what happens with all the sensitive stuff you enter there. Because let’s be honest, a lot of the stuff that is awkward to talk about is somewhat private.
Re:US orders diplomats to fight data sovereignty initiatives on Thursday February 26, 2026 @04:41AM (#47163916)
> Lately the EU Commission came up with a plan to create an inventory of every single valuable items owned by every single EU citizen: from Magic The Gathering and Pokemon cards to jewelry/heirloom, paintings, gold and silver coins/bars, cryptocurrencies coins, watches, cars, boats, etc. Anything with some value: would go in the inventory. >The European Parliament asked the question: "Can you guarantee us this will never ever be used as a basis to confiscate these items?" to which the European Commission answered: "No, we cannot guarantee that".

Excuse me for not taking this at face value but this sounds like disinformation. Where did you get that from?

Re:Kimi Claw on Sunday February 15, 2026 @10:07AM (#47024281)
I wouldn’t want either US or Chinese corporations to have access to my sensitive data. But if I had to choose, which I luckily don’t, I’d choose the US. That stuff I guess.
Encourage Mastodon use. There’s nothing that stops Bluesky from ending up just like Twitter.
Works great, my device visited over 100 times already

edit: not only that, under past visits I can now see the ip address of other visitors, together with their rough location and browser setup. You may want to remove the "gdpr compliant" from the website :)

Starlink is Musk. That‘s not reliable
Re:Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn on Monday December 29, 2025 @12:02PM (#46422636)
Of course there’s exaggeration. Nobody really believes this person was kidnapped by the German train company.

People do get kicked off trains, usually it’s the entire train that is being emptied. Happened to me in NRW. Happened to me in Brandenburg. When there’s a problem with the train, then sometimes it has to be evacuated.

He would have not been entitled to a cab ride by the way, he was travelling with Deutschlandticket. Your entire comment is not only pedantic, it’s also completely wrong lol.

Re:Fahrplan – 39C3 on Sunday December 28, 2025 @05:57AM (#46410173)
I’ve been thinking about going for years. What specifically was life changing for you?
What if it’s a small apartment, but the life is a significant albeit marginal improvement over life in a shelter? Would it make a difference if it were a shelter where animals are killed after a certain period without being adopted?

Please note that I’m on purpose phrasing this to be a bit contrarian. Not trying to rattle any cages (no pun intended), just found myself initially agreeing with you and then not being sure anymore.

Re:Signal's New PQ Ratchet on Thursday October 02, 2025 @04:30PM (#45455151)
This is different though. PP is saying that you require a phone number to sign up, and phone numbers are being used to match your account to your user name.
Re:Hiring only senior engineers is killing companies on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @01:19AM (#45422166)
There’s a big difference between somebody not being your friend and somebody being your enemy. I’ve had a similar experience with a sub par employee, who at some point admitted that he wasn’t doing his best at work because he was "only there to exchange his time for money, not make any meaningful contributions".

That guy was absolutely immersed in internet culture, making him less self-aware and very unpleasant to work with.

Re:Tomorrow's Emoji, Today: Unicode 17.0 on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @08:03AM (#45196450)
I think it makes sense that in a country where the majority is not white the yellow emoji is picked to represent the majority.
Re:Show HN: Hacker News em dash user leaderboard pre-ChatGPT on Saturday August 30, 2025 @03:18AM (#45072593)
In German en dashes are more common than em dashes. I’ve been using them regularly for at least 20 years, both in German and English texts. I never liked it when people just threw in ordinary hyphen instead of an en dash, but few people note the difference.

It’s a German company behind it, probably a one man show: https://docs.weblibre.eu/Legal/Imprint

But was it reasoning or did it solve this because it was parting it‘s training data?
