With the recent rise of agents and users blind fully giving access to their data. I realised that much of my private conversation with inevitability be read by an agent.
I have no control over it, I have no clue what this service will do with my data. But more than anything, I have no say about it. Space that were once "safe", years of conversation, very private content can now be accessed for...
Hot take: uBlock origin could insert even MORE ads into Facebook? Discouraging people to use Facebook, and also make some money on the side.
(this is a joke obviously, but boy that would be fun and against the T&C)

I'm still amazed about the quality and responsiveness of this web tool compared to the real Photoshop.
Just starting Photoshop CC is longer than opening Photopea + a quick edit + export.
That's right. I forgot about the ability to pre-download the game before the official release, which might help the servers. That also remove the joke "Patch day 1 (of the size of the game)" which I always found ridiculous but became a standard practice.
Having the game of that size is the only excuse I accept for not releasing a physical version, but because no blu-ray will handle it, it starts darker days for game preservation. I love the fact that I will be able to undust my old PS4 in a couple of years and play GTA V without relying on the PlayStation Store. But we knew these days were counted.
Excuse my silly question, but what's the point of pre-buying a game, if it will only exists as a downloadable copy. I get you want to gift it for xmas, but for the rest of players? The point of pre-sale is to make sure you will get one when it comes out?
Thanks, sadly it didn't pick-up on HN
The diff per region/state would be fantastic!
The stats are shared, nothing "per user". At first I just wanted to see if it would trigger some interest. There's a huge room for improvements, your suggestions are great
I have a genuine question for Meta engineers: what were you hoping to gain by working at this company? What motivated you, and what were your aspirations?

Yeah it comes with a compromise.
Tbh, if it was an option I would sacrifice a tiny bit of my screen to not have the notch while keeping a uniform bezel.
Hey Folks: no notch! This is beautiful!

We all have an example we are attached to. I'm curious to hear what HN has to share.
> Meta seems like one of the few large tech companies where if the whole company vanished, the world would be purely a better place.
+1
...and I think about it everyday
There’s another solution, much faster, it’s to use Screen Time and have your partner own the passcode. I hold my partner’s phone passcode and it’s fantastic to control when he’s allowed to doom scroll

+1 SO MUCH
After two years I couldn't understand them. Sometime one notification appear, then it disappear, is it in the bottom stack? No, it just disappear.
Also when there's many of them grouped, will tapping expand them? open the app? It's random.
But mostly, on Android, having quick actions on notifications. Receiving a useless email? The "Delete" action is right there. Boom, done. Move on.
In retrospect, I think it's why I find Android so functional. Just from the notifications you can do everything. No need to unlock your phone and end up distracted.
I just switched from an iPhone 13 mini to a Pixel 9 Pro, and it's tough to admit but I can do so much more with my thumb on a big Android than a tiny iPhone. Mostly due to the back gesture always works (never need to tap the top left corner in some cases, and also being able to return to the 3 button navigation) and being able to pull down the notifications by sliding down on the main screen.
I remember my iPhone, on my desk, turning up because of a notification, then hearing the vibration for a failed FaceID unlock. This very smart system wasn't able to understand that it was looking at a ceiling. So I always ended up having to type my password due to too many failed FaceID attempts.
FaceID was highly ranked in the reasons why I disliked iPhones.
TouchID all the way. On an iPad, it's fantastic.
Good job! That’s really good!
Oh damn I didn’t realised it was you!
Dear HN community, susam built the GuessMyRGB game which was a huge inspiration for this game. Please take the time to play it!!

At least they have a "Reject all" button, easy to access (it should be the norm). Not some dodgy dark pattern that takes a good minute to find.

It’s sad to hear, but a great reminder of why I keep declining suggestions to turn my web apps into native iOS
