https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=hcker.news - filters out by keywords, domains and users

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49308787 - keeps the default look while just removing AI-related submissions

I still have blind hope that tags feature with the obligation to include them in each submission will be added, but that would cut... "activity" some of the most prominent accounts.

Not a fan of "For you" based on supposed similarities to what I've clicked before. Especially when e.g. "Scratch Programming Playground" has nothing to do with "Brave New World". I'd remove it but that's me.

Maybe language filters for non-English titles? Or if a book is in public domain already then links to the sources could be presented?

No feedback present means that software has no issues and is appreciated by its users. It even may have reached a nirvana (sic) state due to the uncompromised image.

What MS does here has nothing to do with "privacy, security, and compliance regulations" at all. This strictly corporate dealing with complaining users and it's going to backfire on the company eventually.

Didn't the creator of tildes announced recently that site goes into maintenance mode and no new features will be added?

For me the extension has stopped working around 2 hours ago and page loads new interface

Yeah, Microsoft tried 'both ways' to expand their quite small Windows Phone applications catalogue. And while Project Astoria [1] aimed at bringing Android apps, Project Islandwood was about easing porting of iOS applications [2]. Then MS decided that Windows Phone platform has no future.

Pretty sure that's the plot from Doctor Who S5 2nd episode

Dug out these discussions for your amusement; might shed additional light on this:

We had few submissions and links in comments this week to some very "young" projects and their home pages looked like pressed from the same machine.

But if it works for people who just want to share their software and avoid working around the packaging and presentation, then I guess "it is what it is".

I've replaced Iosevka with Nokia Sans on KDE and earlier Xfce

I'm curious if the cross-save feature will work in this case

Maybe this isn't the exact same situation but it still kinda reminds me what happened around Notepad++ 5 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48006445

There's also ungoogled-chromium and it uses similar set of patches: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

Firefox uses Google as the default search engine, Vivaldi goes with Startpage. I doubt either would change to a stripped-down version of Kagi. Because that's how this would most likely be done, and Kagi wouldn't get much of such deals.

The new website address is: https://science.nasa.gov/apod/

My friend from Czechia struggled while pronouncing Polish words including /w/ sound represented by "ł" letter.

What I find interesting is that /w/ sound

> V západoslovanských jazycích navazuje na praslovanskou nonpalatální souhlásku [ɫ]

which is still partially present in the eastern regions of Poland and is associated with sort of "sophisticated" pronunciation used by early 20th century actors - and thus it's also known as "performative ł" or "kresowe ł", or "dark l" in English. It is similar to Arabic "l" present in Allah word.

Some accounts have a clearly more privileged status here and are allowed to upload content without limits - especially from big outlets.

There's at least 10 other accounts who do the same

You're not the first commenting on this and I wonder what's the trigger because I haven't seen a single suggestion for setting up a passkey anywhere.

> This is a low friction way to attest "this image came from an iPhone sensor and Apple approved it".

Which surely will be useful in ID verification on the Internet; Android devices most likely will follow with same or similar solution

Anyone got saving files from the web on the phone replaced with iCloud Drive?

Overall it took over 1h20m or so for download and install this version in my iPhone. And Settings still displays indexing notification while I have little on the device, and I have disabled searches for every app. So I wonder what it does optimizing and indexing then?

Of course that's a matter of taste but Luna interface/theme made whole XP being more appealing to ordinary people - especially with these task-oriented elements. On the other hand, "classic" widgets had that strong bare-bone technical and functional look that made whole system scarier to some degree.

I had tons of "Visual Styles" back then and in the last XP days I opted for grayish Royal or Royale. It's such shame that MS has abandoned Watercolor theme - that was a middle ground: interface was updated and yet, still similar to classic design. And it was even in some elements flat before that style become a dominant. Luckily we're slowly moving away from that and I won't be missing it.

There were memes ridiculing Wales and all that annual effort regarding supporting Wikipedia - probably that did the job

Some few months ago I couldn't find actors credits for particular roles they had in Star Trek franchise. For whatever reasons these bits were removed but still were present within Wayback Machine.

Then again, in the past I've seen hostile take-overs of fan made wikis into wikia/fandom "infrastructure". In one case wiki was copied, in time articles were slightly edited and new content was added containing... unsolicited fan theories.

The other case: wiki was copied 1:1 due to some inside disagreements, then incorporated into fandom and in approx. 2 years abandoned. The original died as well but someone managed to restore it from Wayback - this time in read-only mode
