Re:Ghostty 1.4.0 on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @08:37AM (#50272618)
I'd love to use Ghostty, but the start-up time on Linux is unacceptable. I know that's because of GTK, so I hope that maybe Rex[0] woudn't have this issue.

Can you elaborate on that?
Re:What I Self-Host on Friday October 16, 2026 @03:49AM (#50115408)
I'd love to NOT expose my services to the internet, but I often share stuff from opencloud/seafile or immich. If somebody has a convinient (for non-technical people I share stuff with) solution, please share because as the author of the post said, with AI assisted hacking now I'm really concerned. I hope that dockploy is secured poperly.
Re:Gemini 4 Argon on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @06:49PM (#50080036)
Their previous best model - Gemini 3.8 Flash (also when set to high) was even faster. A appreciate it that they focus on speed. I's great for LLM pair-programming.
Re:Gemini 4 Argon on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @05:33PM (#50079146)
It's nice to have it available for more complex tasks, but I'll stick with 3.8 Flash thanks to its high output speed. I really like it for fast iteration and prototyping.

I have AI Ultra and agy wants me to upgrade to... AI Ultra.
I get "User not found. Please ask a question first." when trying to answer. Why would I have to ask another question first?
Re:Live map of public transport in Belgium on Monday September 07, 2026 @09:04AM (#49597948)
I don't want to be negative here, just asking out of curiosity. Does anyone actually use apps/services like this? Why would it be useful?

Normally when I want to get somewhere I just use local public transport navigation app which calculates the route and shows me estimated time of when my tram or bus arrives (taking into account its GPS data). Why would I need to know live position of every vehicle in the city?

Nevertheless, cool project!

> This is great and hope it'll be compatible with more and more browsers.

I agree! Just ported it to Firefox, see my other comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49533429

Definitely gonna use it myself.

I love this concept, but use Firefox, so I ported it:

https://github.com/kacperwyczawski/herbisight (herbisight -> herbicide -> weeds, you know)

I've just submitted it to AMO for review (in the meantime, you can load extension/ via about:debugging). Will update the repo with the store link once approved!

Re:Play Store blocks AuroraStore, hurting GrapheneOS users on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @01:38PM (#49525189)
I maintain my grandmothers phone, which comes down mostly to just updating WhatsApp once in a while. Obviously she doesn't have a google account, so I've installed her AuroraStore.

It's a shame that there is no official way to install apps on android without a google accout[1], since it's a basic functionality, just like calls or a web browser.

[1] For obvious reasons I don't want her to download apks from the internet.

Can you give us a link or something?
Re:Gooey: A GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @03:04PM (#48388352)
> how do I choose between Gooey and GPUI?

GPUI is for rust, not zig

Nazi stereotype?

Lasers in space are fun! We[1] are actually doing this for real but automated and inversed -- launching a satellite with a laser to beam data down to Earth. Like these searchlights, but from orbit!
