Flagged once again by the Genocide Brigade on HN. Mods, when are we going to fix this broken flagging system?

Reminder the Vercel CEO is a genocide supporter, if you need more reasons to move away from it.

Reminder that if your agent can create PRs then it can merge them too: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/182732

Does this really need a (2025) clarification? That was 6 days ago

F-Droid website is awful for a curious visitor. Serves me a .apk with no further instructions. What am I supposed to do with that?

Ha, a lovely new meaning for “rolling your own crypto”

> Trust doesn’t come only from the top down [...] So, we’re also enabling trusted verifiers: organizations that can directly issue blue checks.

Is this not still a top-down system, just with one level of indirection?

Something not-top-down might look more like the web-of-trust model.

As hackers, what can we do to work against the genocide, unconstitutional arrests, Zionist expansionism, Israeli control of western politics, etc?

I can't read any of these images. Substack disallows zooming the page. Clicking on an image zooms it to approximately the same zoom level. Awful UI.

What is "big cat DNA"? Are there not multiple species of big cat? Can a DNA test not be more specific?

Edit: Answering my own question about the methods used: The story links to Robin Allaby's page [1] about his DNA test service. That page says he tests for "the Panthera, Puma and Lynx genera". An older story [2] describes Allaby's methods: 450 PCRs and ~600 sequence reactions. "The team searched for two gene targets each of deer and canid, but over 30 different cat gene targets."
