Sure, I also love Vue and Angular and Svelte.

But React has the largest ecosystem

Re:GPT-5.5 Price Increase: What It Costs on Saturday May 09, 2026 @12:43PM (#48076281)
5.5 is overcomplicating it. Where the solution is e.g. changing some oidc auth url, it goes around and verifies and check and builds this and that to eventually change the url, and then write a summary.

It is unable to do K.I.S.S . Instead of adding just an endpoint, it creates a service, middleware, config reader and finally an endpoint.

LLMs are nowhere near being good developers. The only thing they have is speed. Because of this speed they create the illusion of a good developer, the whoa moment. Whoa it would've taken me 2 months to implement this. Yeah but then again you would not make such silly mistakes and you would've reused that oidc client instead of reinventing the wheel every single time.

and yet my friend in Moscow is able to use VPN to get around all this

pg 18 supports uuidv7 natively and your default should be unique and uuid7()

you will pay 6fold at the very least. Your 300 messages became 50 or your 1500 became 250 per month. And you have session limits, daily weekly and monthly limits

Re:I've Seen a Thousand OpenClaw Deploys. Here's the Truth on Saturday April 11, 2026 @10:30AM (#47730953)
Openclaw is unreliable. I had it running for a few months. It uses up a lot of resources and doesn't provide any benefit other than being able to chat with it via other methods than tui.

I've removed it.

Re:Quien – A better WHOIS lookup tool on Saturday April 11, 2026 @10:21AM (#47730883)
because it matters. Why would you intentionally choose to ignore that fact if it was provided?

I have been using LLMs since August last year, and I know the output they can produce. And I know that the initial output requires refinement in most cases. And that's coming from someone experienced in Software development. LLMs in the hands of people who are not experienced lead to skip a proper review process.

Additionally, it's unreasonable to assume one can take a large codebase and will spend hours on examining the code before. It's not only unreasonable but downright ridiculous.

LLMs are a part of reality right now and they're not going away. Code should be labeled as such. Not doing that is inconsiderate.

Re:Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse on Monday March 09, 2026 @08:19AM (#47308101)
that's incorrect.

They report content they don't agree with. And if the instance owner shared that, the federated user or even instance gets banned.

Most prominent example is the Ukraine. Even if you post truthfully and in context, that the Ukraine did support the 3rd Reich with link to the Wikipedia article, you get banned, no warning.

So there is political censorship. And the fediverse is super political. The 3 big content areas in the Fediverse are politics, LGBT and nudes/nudes drawings including sadly CSAM.

Blocking (and reporting) an instance because of CSAM I can understand. But that too should happen at an individual level.

Re:Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse on Monday March 09, 2026 @07:56AM (#47307901)
It's 1 person, the instance admin, deciding what's good or bad for all their users. And this is, I'm not sure what, but gives instance admins too much power to moderate content the way they like vs giving the individual user the choice to decide on their own. Call it whatever you like.
Re:Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse on Saturday March 07, 2026 @08:48AM (#47287612)
The Fediverse has one problem, concentration of users on few instances, mastodon.social being the largest. And cancel culture. Highly politically motivated cancel culture. What right do they believe to have to dictate to their users what the can and can't read? That should be solely in the user's hand.

The irony of writing this in HN is ... whatever the right word is Also, fragmentation and visibility. It's neigh impossible to find interesting content if you're not on the main big instances.

Definitely needed, especially in the Fediverse. Holy crap the edgelords there or on Facebook. You comment something neutral, skeptical, response is either straight insults or completely disagreement and then insults, ad hominem or strawman/gaslighting.

Yesterday I dared to write I like X now, it's clean of all the edgelords who went to Bluesky or the Fediverse. Cancel culture on Twitter was over the top. Reaponse, Cancel Culture doesn't exist. My response, it absolutely does. His response, No it doesn't you Nazi something something or other. Err, what?

X has the most up to date information for tech circles.

People on BS mostly repost and rage about posts on X. Fediverse are the different kind of refugees. Mastodon has critical design flaws. It's not a future proof system. And Cancel culture is absurd. BTW 5 people reported me for saying that Cancel culture absolutely exists, all from the same instance. Lol. The hypocrisy is unreal.

In any case, I think people forgot or never learned how to respectfully disagree and have a conversation with people who don't agree with them.

Something like this is direly needed.

Re:C64g.com removed from Google Search index on Monday December 01, 2025 @06:31AM (#46106159)
Not sure what you mean with commercial. Those are/were C64 games. Commercially sold games yes, then, now they aren't.

The site has been indexed since 2004. It's not the only abandonware site.

Sure, post all you like :)

Re:C64g.com removed from Google Search index on Sunday November 30, 2025 @08:10AM (#46096356)
My site c64g.com was completely removed from Google's search index, in apparently November 13th, after 21 years of being in the index. It even has Adsense and Google Analytics and still it was removed. I suspect some AI running wild and false flagging the site. It's an established site for c64 games, you can even play some in the browser.

Where can I get a human to take a look at it?

The worst thing is that it's sold as child protection in all official publications of the EU

And no one cares. No one. There is no outcry, no protest, no shitstorm. Nothing.

I don't understand.

Do people not care if everyone is able to read and analyze, store their private communication?
