Which adblocker are you currently using? The arms race is getting pretty tiring...
Like another poster mentioned, I use Orion on my iPad with ublock origin installed as an extension.
It’s a really great browser, only a few bugs here and there.

It feels like the recipient company did an awful lot of work in response to what was at best a fishing expedition. A serious complaint about licensing that demanded a real response would have been sent by post. It's not clear to me that scattershot LinkedIn messages deserve any response at all. The fact that the initial message lies about trying to contact him another way is another check in the "ignore this completely" column.
The same way that I wouldn't bother to fact-check a spam phone caller, why give any credence to this kind of thing?
I agree. Reading through this seems like a long winded way of putting off telling some random person on LinkedIn to bugger off. If there’s a supposed licensing issue, send a legal letter, not a LinkedIn message. Big waste of time for everyone involved
Hnaomyiph commented on Ask HN: Any companies that are objectively trying to make the world better? · Posted by u/diehunde
Every real and legally existing company makes the world better than without it.
Even if only by providing income for employees and paying taxes.
But most companies also take part in producing or redistributing something valuable.
And yes, to make an omelet you need to break some eggs.
Show me a living person (let alone a company) who doesn't produce any waste and who never does any evil - and yet here we are, still evolving, still growing economy, still improving the quality of life all over the world.
Despite all the problems, crisises, setbacks etc.
That is as objective as you can possibly get in such a generic discussion.
What’s the point of the question?
A wild and mostly poor take. I understand the guidelines requiring more substantive posts, but I believe the overwhelming examples of detrimental companies are self evident.
Oroborus issues were seen from 100k miles away.
LLMs were bound to run into issues immediately based on training data. If I weren’t substantially poor I’d put all my savings into puts of LL
‘S like ChatGPT, and others. I cannot risk burning substantials of my own time to offset the burnage those themselves are creating.
Good luck y’all. I’d say I’m hope I’m right but you’re on a ship sunk by glacial ice that is hoping for a lifeboat off. Good fucking luck, you have no time to pivot.

If you need to send larger files via link, another hn user created https://www.relaysecret.com/
I use the tunnel service for the most part at https://www.relaysecret.com/tunnel
It’s open source and you can host your own instance of it!

When Firefox send shut down I was looking for a good alternative and never really found sharedrop fit my needs.
Hnaomyiph commented on How do we pay for parking? cohost.org/cathoderaydude... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti
Modern parking lots always seem ripe for physical phishing, whats stopping someone from sticking up a couple of QR codes that link to a fraudulent payment page or some other malware?
This is one of those things that tech really didn't "fix" and now I have to select from one of 20 apps instead of just paying with cash or even a credit card.
Seems like a good avenue for parking protests. All you need is a small buzz for people to never trust the app-based systems.
Hnaomyiph commented on Plans develop for high-speed rail in the PNW southseattleemerald.com/2... · Posted by u/DoreenMichele
Amtrak sells tickets.
And for a large portion of their routes are already overpriced and less convenient than almost any other means of travel (except for a handful of actually reasonably-priced routes.
A local route on Amtrak costs almost $100 for a one way ticket traveling <200mi
A bus ticket for the same route is $30. The bus takes an hour longer.
I want amtrak to thrive, but they need to attract customers, not drive more away with higher prices.
Hnaomyiph commented on Loneliness is stronger when not alone pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3... · Posted by u/hirundo
The worst feeling in the world is being a bit lonely, and then being by yourself in a place where you are surrounded by groups of people. I got more depressed more often trying to go do social things in uni than I ever did physically being separated from others and actually by myself.
Yeah, I’ve noticed this recently. As I spend more time with my current friend group in the new city I live in, the worse I feel because it seems like we’re just surface level friends, whereas when I spend time with my friends back home it greatly lifts my spirits because it’s a genuine connection.
It’s a an extremely odd feeling because from the outside I’m sure it looks like I have a great social life and good friends, but I’ve never felt more alone in my life. And I’m not sure how to address this conundrum, on one hand I want a stronger friendship with this new group of friends and don’t want to be alone, but at the same time it seems as if I would be happier if I disconnected myself from the group and was actually alone.
