Not joker, porkbun*

Joker has no 3rd party scripts on their website, porkbun uses gstatic

I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for joker, but they have 3rd party google scripts on their site

Have you seen how the average person uses their phone?

You want what, a terminal that you type on w/an onscreen keyboard?

Google is fundamentally a spy company, not a product company

Poor government has to fight crime the old fashioned way.

Ridiculous.

Any word on how it works? Couldn't find any info

Not true. If you're on vacation looking to ski for 3 days, you're right in the crosshairs of the ski resort's price model, and you're not getting around it.

I also don't see how the product is superior to what was offered prior

tbh so is circumventing those dots.

It doesn't make it any better

Spoken as if climate engineering were an established science with no potential pitfalls or downsides...
It'll literally be like printers "cannot print this black/white document, low on cyan".

"Cannot run local AI model, no network connection".

The more you think about it, the more it really is the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots?useskin=...

It's like Snowden said (paraphrasing): "If privacy comes from policy, the policy can be changed on a whim, and in effect you have no privacy at all"
I'm disturbed by everything.

Prompt moderation, GUID insertion, watermark insertion; track anything and everything, probably done in the name of "protect the children".

Fucking spyware.

Soon it'll literally be "you need a license to use this technology" if we're not there in some form or another already.

We are not the good guys in iran
Color me shocked

Don't "Wow." out of context.

The smart move is further development of the Mac to explore ways to bring new features to the iPhone or future apple devices. To simply go "this = profit = all development goes there" personifies a lack of wisdom.

Tech will consume itself.

It is with glee that I will watch it burn.

Re:Tell HN: I'm sick of AI everything on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @10:23PM (#47858030)
I have a tech support buddy who, while good, allows himself more arrogance than his skills deserve. I asked him what CRC errors, and he said to ask AI, kindly providing me its output:

> CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) errors on Wi-Fi indicate that data frames were corrupted during transmission, often caused by high electromagnetic interference (EMI), physical layer issues, or faulty hardware. They cause packet loss, slow speeds, and intermittent connectivity. Common solutions include replacing cables, reducing interference, updating drivers, and adjusting radio power

This is all well and good except: read the prompt carefully. It never actually says what CRC errors are. This is the average AI user: literally work on, build, and fix things without the slightest clue about what it is you're actually working on.

He makes >6 figures lol

Re:John Ternus to become Apple CEO on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @10:18PM (#47857985)
Everything (or 90%) on the iphone was taken from the mac and put into the iPhone. The software dvelopment for the PC environment, then stripped down and streamlined for the phone is why the iPhone was the revolution that it was.

Apple, like you, can only think in terms of revenue and profit generated. "iPhone makes this much profit = iphone gets this much development".

That thinking has led us into this stagnated crap, because it's a terrible way to do software. Worse, what's happening now is apple is taking its iThing software and trying to migrate it to the mac. The Mac is now getting destroyed by the iPhone development.

That is the reason why.

Re:John Ternus to become Apple CEO on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @10:23AM (#47849272)
The numbers don't tell the full story.

The development of Mac OS X was the development of iOS, and it was one-way.
