News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

We are approaching what is likely the biggest existential crisis in human history.

Unfortunately, there will be people that refuse to tackle the issue head on and will instead narrow their focus on data that suggests that tomorrow will be like today.

Definitely curious that the only people standing up for OpenAI in this thread are 1) accounts w/ random strings of letters/numbers 2) accounts created minutes before posting here

My uneducated guess is good for the gander isn't good for the goose from a capitalistic/alignment perspective.
You are conflating human-ness with good writing skills.
Ignore the message because you don't like the _perceived_ messenger.
Re:Show HN: Multi-player poker on SSH – ssh cli.poker on Thursday July 16, 2026 @06:27PM (#48941105)
Yeah, something to share w/ an LLM maybe. Some more feedback:

- Save bot on/off preferences

- When the game is over, `r` to replay against the same user. Maybe a 3-5s countdown for rematches instead of booting back to lobby

- Names are truncated in the main name field

- Underneath the name field, show the ranking of your opponent

Re:Show HN: Multi-player poker on SSH – ssh cli.poker on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @05:53PM (#48927565)
Suggestions - Add 1-2 more seconds for hand resolution so that we can look at both hands

- Move chat to the left hand side so that it doesn't get overrun by hand results

- Ability to print hands in a log

- Ranking update after every game (+40 pts. You moved up X rankings and are now ranked Y)

- Tweaks to TUI setup: I resized the window temporarily and lost the hand results/output section until I restarted the ssh cnxn

Is it down? Got a few games in earlier and can't play it anymore suddenly.

Speaking of manpages, during a different hn convo, I found out about mansnip [1]. It is for when you remember the command but forget what the flags do and has been very useful re: "I keep using curl -LO, what is that doing again?" etc

Great read. Put into words what I've been feeling for a while now.

I've been using jetbird from fdroid. I have never tried the official app, but I have good experiences with Jet Bird.

I installed it today for the first time because of this thread. It is the perfect combination of minimal and power-user friendly. I'm impressed.

This was my initial perspective as well. Given that there are no profiles, I will likely have to pivot to something else

> We have been moving quickly to address these issues, delivering four additional point releases with over 100 changes since the initial 10.11.0 release. To date, most point releases have focused on resolving general and migration-related issues. The remaining migration issues are largely isolated, one-off cases and are unlikely to be resolved.

I guess that's my cue to finally try and upgrade. I dragged my feet given how widespread the friction of the upgrade, but if this is as good as it's going to get, I might as well pull the bandaid off now.

Between this and the dual boot diaries podcast it's great to see mainstream PC outlets covering Linux more broadly.

I've used recalendar.js the past few years for my eInk devices:

Aren't a disproportionate amount of high schoolers road fatalities? I think it's due to emotional immaturity, nihilism or an inability to tackle problems directly.
