@teleclimber Definitely jealous that your model means you can "just add ARM" in a monthly update!

@meidastouch I think it's pretty funny he keeps having to explain his own jokes.

@danie10 Fuel efficiency was the reason I had picked the economy instead of the "whatever you have" option in the first place. Although in fairness, I'd have to get a pretty big car to rent a car less efficient than my personal beast which is at the shop.

@jalefkowit IMHO they should keep working on it.

@kentonvarda.com That is a fair point. It is also not very cohesive in a "I don't know what you want, but I'm required to say something" way. It managed to cover your grammar, the source of food insecurity, telling you "just eat something" (which is how I respond to family members who say they're hungry), and tops it off with a funny video.

@kentonvarda.com I really hate to defend an AI model, or Google, but you did not give it much to go on here. I would've assumed you were telling the machine you were hungry and wanted it to suggest food near you.

Rental car company absolutely tried scamming me. Obviously they didn't have the car I reserved, so they wanted to upcharge me like 40% for a nicer car they had... I was able to edit the reservation online while standing there to "whatever you have" for the same cost as my original reservation. I walked out with the same car they wanted more money for at the same price I had booked for.

@heidilifeldman Guess it’s not unclaimed anymore. 🤔

@RichardBrockie They break your device, and they give you the privilege of buying another one from them.

@Viss There's no way someone didn't notice this when putting it up.

@StillIRise1963 When it happens, the world's problems won't go away, but it will look a little brighter.

@jordan @vkc Yeah, I'm Insteon for the same reason, but Z-Wave would be my next best choice. It doesn't clutter up network bandwidth and in Insteon's case is too dumb to compromise, the devices don't even have firmware updates.

@TheBreadmonkey Trying desperately to do this with the six/seven thing.

@FaithinBones @georgetakei Biden is so powerful he managed to both sleep through his entire presidency and still be responsible for every ill the Republicans feel is wrong with the world.

This sounds bad, but I suspect it's a highly conservative estimate for both Facebook and Google. https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/06/meta-estimates-that-it-earns-10-of-its-revenue-from-scams-report-says/

@retech @jeffzugale Unfortunately yeah there is a lot of these random things that indicate belonging to certain groups or having certain views, it is probably impossible to know all of them. I remember as a young kid in school being tricked into saying embarrassing things or references I didn't understand. A lot of the Internet is not much more mature than that.

@retech @jeffzugale Mind you, I do sort of suspect Home Depot did not intentionally price white spray paint cans so that after local sales tax in the OP's area it came out to that amount specifically if you buy two. This was probably totally coincidental. (For one, I think paint tends to be sold at the same price in any color.)

@retech @jeffzugale Yeah, so 1488 is a Nazi thing. This is why the parent post specifically mentioned a "dogwhistle". It's something Nazis put in profiles and such that a lot of people don't notice, but helps them identify themselves to other likeminded people.

@rmogull @Viss They probably should've spent a bit more time double checking things. :| Probably really sucks to be THAT MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN.

@kims We will see all of the stages of grief this week. All the ones Erika skipped, as it happens.

@gtconway3 At this point the hardest question a Democratic Senate would face is which charge do we get him on because there are so many options?

@whitequark Yeah, I agree it does seem redundant that those URLs are in multiple files in a program. Anyone who actually wants to use two libraries with identical names in their code anyways deserves all of the natural consequences of doing so. :D

@whitequark Though the default behavior of GOPROXY is also a whole additional layer to this deep well. I find GOPROXY extremely uncomfortable but also it's the only reason some code I use can be built.

@whitequark I mean, I sorta always felt like the old Java package convention com.java, com.android, etc. was more or less indicating "this is the website", but without actually... pointing to anything? So it sort of feels like it makes sense to just put the code there. I assume though you can do closed source Go development... so not all the code has to be publicly reachable, right? I feel like if I ever understand it, I'll like Go's packaging system.

@whitequark The idea that you just point at a Git repo for a dependency feels super modern and cool. That you can point at subpackages within it... also cool. That you can have a vanity URL so people can use their own domain even if the code is on GitHub... neat. ...I have not gotten any of this to work for me reliably yet.

@retech @jeffzugale I think the point of this post probably whizzed right past your head at white speed.

@mhoye A single octogenarian bully is the only individual holding the entire movement together, and he's been the only thing holding it together for a decade. And he's not exactly a picture of health. When it happens, it's over. And they know it.

@QasimRashid It's almost impressive that Donald Trump manages to find the most racist and offensive possible take in any given conversation. Almost.

@weirdestate Is there a single practical space in any picture?

@aeva Alright, you win with your positivity and stuff.

@aeva As a lifelong and professional computer toucher, I actually do not really like computer.

@PhoenixSerenity Can you consider sensitive flagging this in the future? This is definitely not what I want to pop on my feed! (And I'm sorry it appeared on yours.)

@jalefkowit The mask is probably sold separately. Gotta get that money. As it is, I am stunned to discover Halloween costumes kids wear once are now clocking $50-60!

@stoneymonster @ExplodingLemur I am guessing they have to lay people off by email when no humans actually reviewed who they laid off. At this scale it's probably all algorithmic.

@ClarusPlusPlus I saw this headline the other day, and was immediately like "This dude clearly has never played a Zelda title." https://wccftech.com/borderlands-boss-gaming-hasnt-even-produced-single-masterpiece-yet/

@mark I mean, obviously stuff happens, right? But starting from the position that your product killing someone is okay is insane. Can you imagine if Boeing, bad as it is now, was to state "it's okay if a plane crashes now and then"?

Person making murder cars says society will be okay with cars murdering people. Just imagine being someone making this kind of money and being like "yeah, I know my product is going to kill people, but people will be fine with it". #waymo https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/society-accept-robotaxi-death-waymo-21123178.php

@teleclimber Another reason I'm glad I don't touch Chrome.

@simon @ThePSF Let's see how HN is handling this topic today! Random commenter who's been on the site three years: "Men are inherently smarter and more talented." ...Stay classy, HN.

@qbe @JohnDal @erkhyan A lot of things in Linux feel downright primitive compared to the options I have on a Windows system. There's totally reasonable reasons for that, mind you. A finely-tuned Windows 10 install can be a thing of elegance, and it can run on a potato from a decade ago. But you had to have an enterprise license agreement to get rid of half the junk. I hope 11 gets back there, but there is some real jank with rough perf costs.

@JohnDal @erkhyan iOS has very minimal advertising currently (though rumors are Apple is looking at adding ads to Maps, which is gross). What's really frustrating in Windows case, is that it is probably the best engineered operating system, that then has so much garbage lopped on top it performs close to second-worst. Windows 10 Mobile ran smooth as glass on incredibly modest hardware, the problem is entirely garbage on top.

Standing by your principles is expensive. Glad to hear @simon and the @ThePSF are sticking to them. https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/27/psf-withdrawn-proposal/

@box464 They made the perfect cookie like a hundred years ago, now all they have to do is go home.

Watched #Thunderbolts and I understand the reason for the chosen "alternate title", but I also think "Therapy: The Movie" would've been a decent choice. ;) The movie's villain speaks basically in gaslighting everyone, and the threat is conquered through developing a healthy support network of human relations.

@thisismissem @cocoaphony @rhysmorgan @rileytestut Honestly this would fix bad incentives with most search ads. Just forcing the best organic result to be offered first.

@cmconseils I don't have any brilliant fortune cookie insights, but time heals and it's worth seeing what comes next. From a random person half a world away, wishing you well.

@jaredwhite.com By the end of this Canada will lose one thing: Their reputation for being the ones always apologizing.

@mos_8502 Heh over in the IT world we've always been well aware we are basically technology janitors. Network admins are like plumbers, making sure all your pipes flow well.

@ojensen I would make sure to have a suitably convincing-sounding definition of that acronym too. I absolutely ask people for details about things they claim to know about.

@Karlitschek I've always found it amazing how the industry accepts obviously insane directions as "the right way" because everyone else is doing it. It's clear a big part of that is suppressing people discussing the reasonable but less profitable ways.
