Re:HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN on Saturday October 31, 2026 @10:08PM (#50322124)
Its so refreshing to see the GUI. especially, since most of these videos are handpicked(?!) by users as suggestions and not originally intended to swim on the ratrace! AdBlockers helps you w/ UI distractions but the continious sloppy videos equipped q/ faulty thumbnails was/is my biggest distraction so far and thats what picked my attention on this fresh take.

I believe YT clients is inevitable (not just UI but something similar to this) similar to RES[1] happened for reddit!

I always know wikipedia is an ocean. But having this popping up 100s of entries nearby is fun!
Re:Tmux and Claude Code: Sessions, Send-Keys, and the Ceiling on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @02:00PM (#50170180)
remove. works fine. `.guide-page[data-astro-cid-oph4gsm4] { max-width: var(--max-w-narrow); margin: 0 auto; padding: 2.5rem 1.5rem 2rem; }`
perused the posts and incidentally all are touching high-octane topics, posted only recently but surely warrants discussion/disputes, clearly an evidence of karma farming!
Re:PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock on Saturday September 26, 2026 @04:15PM (#49860144)
agreeable argument. I am also running towards firefox, but keeping the firefox open, juggling between the tabs, especially the quirks YT poses on Firefox, these apps poses a usecase. Yes, download/subscribe/SB support etc. Currently using libretube mostly.
This is an excellent execution and refreshing to see the thought process behind it. Kudos. the ideas such as these, gonna keep us swim sane and specifically extending far beyond the 9-5 is no longer sideProject category but refreshingly needed one.
I am baffled at these practices and somewhere confused on what's the end game here? monopoly on information? altering data? exclusive subscription based knowledge? Feels like we have welcomed the AI era with open hands hoping( at-least assuming) that data democracy will be there, yet feels like its a long road!
Re:Quickly rewrite Git repository history on Friday July 24, 2026 @09:32AM (#49035301)
Finding this usefull on migration. But I am puzzled when the migration has changed the file names and put the files on a new path, especially copying the files into a separate folder (non git) and the creating the version controlled folder which serves as the final codebase
Re:Ask HN: How to Be Alone? on Sunday March 08, 2026 @10:37PM (#47304249)
True. I realise my reply reflected a little of " don't even try to socialize untill you've checked all these boxes and the best version" which is wrong.. I merely pointed out / defended the realism od the comment I replied to. The definition is not and never should be the "hobbies". It's just something you find interesting which brings the parity to you and the other person. not necessarily a hobby and could be of anything.. Hobby is just a common way suggested to find people and then, only then, you get a change to know whether they are interesting.
Re:Ask HN: How to Be Alone? on Sunday March 08, 2026 @07:43PM (#47302899)
disagree. I've felt the same after reading the same but I believe op tries just to point out that when you're the best version of yourselves, by removing the common denominator of bad versions, you'll be noticed more and that presents an interesting way for people to present a chance themselves to hear/see you. From there you get to go and may be, may be you find yourselves with a good friend. More importantly,Ithe confidence you'll get out of this is immense and you'll feel peace spending time for yourselves instead of feeling bad about having all the time and don't have anyone to spend with.. I cant say this advice helped me 100% but atleast it helped reduce the biased stress you put on yourselves.
Re:OpenAI is rolling out age prediction on Tuesday January 20, 2026 @03:12PM (#46697143)

agreed, I guess we'll be seeing some pushbacks similar to Apple's CSAM but overall it's about getting a better demographics on their consumers for better advertising especially when you have a one-click actions combined with it. We'll be seeing handful of middleware plugins (like Honey) popping up, which I think the intended usecase for something like chat based apps

Re:FSF Announces Librephone Project on Tuesday October 14, 2025 @09:33PM (#45587094)
seconding this. more compatible with day-to-day life/apps means more adoption which I believe is a snowball effect.,
agreed on the side note. The headline itself must be miles away from their own old-standards.

Re:I started a little math club in Bangalore on Friday May 30, 2025 @11:46AM (#44137388)
Kudos., Personalizing problems to familiar places hitting a nostalgic sweet spot for me.. Reminds me how much fun it used to be and creative math gets when you’re bouncing ideas around..
This thread has an utmost importance among other few HN threads and I couldn't grasp why this hasn't gained much traction yet. Our focus should be developing tools that supports the sharing/communication of the people/repositories of information spread across multiple places and accessible (the very meaning of internet, since www days). Totally worth noting the internet is "Too big to fail" yet the purpose should not be diverging on how to not only restore but to connect when/if it fails to.
Re:Move Fast and Abandon Things on Tuesday September 24, 2024 @09:59AM (#41636532)
+1 I am reading this is exactly pointing to the same concept as the todo management, but not addressing the todo paralysis. Everyone's mileage may vary. I accept that. Yet misreading something is far more dangerous than ignorance.
Re:EU Council has withdrawn the vote on Chat Control on Monday June 24, 2024 @11:14PM (#40784037)
I don't think it's possible. The politicians needs something to talk, a psuedo-legged horse to ride on. The Mega Corporates need something to do, a psuedo-promise to show that they're not only abiding to the policy-makers and to do good by the users.
For me, this seems to be the best possible explanation on the effects of `Redditization`. Here you're actually losing the step-by-step conversation with the timestamp coded texts, replies are usually like just broadcasting their thought process (instead of an having an actual coherent reply format) or just spitting something so that the gratification of having something written there.
Seconding this. When this happens, wise to take a step back and rewording the query with possible specificity helps.

Re:Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager on Friday September 22, 2023 @12:09PM (#37613828)
Thats correct with DE accounting. However I always assumed, the logic followed here is that the money has been "debited from" the INCOME account and "CREDITED to" Assets/Checkings.

Re:How I Experience the Web Today on Friday July 15, 2022 @07:56AM (#32107169)
Unsurprisingly accurate to most of the sites I visit. One extra thing is, the page load times and the slowness in loding the page or added content which will displace the buttons/header links I'd want to click resulting in a misplaced click :)
This seems a cool idea. Few things comes first to mind is to have a paid feeds for reuters / near real time news feeds, paid AMA interactions (Only fans model but for AMA) and paid forums (communities). But all of the above are already matured and has a different apps that satisfy the needs in a vast manner. So twitter could only be providing a intermediate between the user and a service.
