and i'm so tired of the majority of the world centralizing and funneling their internet through either or both of these
chimed in... thank you for the great documentation!

what about the data? is it locally hosted? if he drops his phone everything will be lost? or are servers and databases involved? if so, where are they being hosted? how did he manage those?

even these sorts of stories are incredibly shallow and hard to believe for me personally.

yeah, honestly i'm baffled... don't they have a whole team for marketing and communications? it's a slap in a customer's face... i've been on this subscription for 9 years, and now with enshittification, scott galloway, rutger bregman and cory doctorow all shouting off the roofs to cancel US-based subscriptions it's like no one on their public comms team is reading the room; like at all.

and on top of that they added this joke of a list of features supposed to justify the decision... as if i had previously been asked about if i'd want "AI-powered item naming. wow, what a shitshow.

yep, i also had the auto-cancellation included. located in germany. good job, EU! :)
coming from the fact that this was a talk held at #39c3, maybe, just maybe, this was not about selling anything at all?!

i feel like that might be hard to grasp for some HN users.

why does a post from january 2026 recommend ubuntu version 22.04?

Not really; I'd have the same expectation of any other individual or company of the given size.

I think I understand the theory. But in fact it looks like tangled.sh is indeed using a "proprietary" Bluesky API rather than... e.g. calling `danabra.mov` right away to fetch his avatar: https://tangled.org/@tangled.org/core/blob/master/avatar/src...

... or am I misunderstanding?

lol it's like you didn't even read the OP...

your own blog post has the very wording the author was criticizing and you seem to be absolutely ignorant about it:

> "Future versions of my [...] will successfully address"

> "LLMs will become so good, no [...]"

I did exactly this. Got an Eve smart plug meter and it works flawlessly in HomeAssistant. I'm also pretty sure I had upgraded to the latest firmware via Apple Home app before doing so.
Can you configure SSID and password when using the access point mode? For example when I have multiple of them in my university, I'd want to name them according to the rooms they sit in, while also making sure people can only print to the ones they can actually physically see (and therefore read the password off of a sticker)...

> you can work on things like Google search or the Facebook news feed, all of which seem like marginally good things

lol, where has the author been in the past decade? both of those are bad, especially the feed algorithms are scientifically proven to have a strong influence on the decline of trust into democratic institutions

That's it. I'm done with Mozilla...

I really do hope that the image analysis they’re doing for the military sector also ends up being lots of 404s
given this website’s name it’s incredible how deeply neoliberal posts’ contents, comments and discourse have gotten…

y’all seriously believe that the only valid reason for an engineer or a programmer to exist is to “create *bUsiNess~ value”? i’m shaking my head.

this blog post is full of ideological blindness.
