HN user
This is funny. You're going to get lots of flack (and flags) in places like HN & reddit if there is even a hint of AI but... it's exactly the kind of thing the general population embraces - harmless fun.
Reminds me a little of Incredimail.
Downloaded the latest 1.5.1 version today for Linux. Perfect! I have a ton of radio stations displaying now for [country], [language] and [genre].
The Favorites and Search options are also working perfectly.
Thank you so much for this program. I am having a ton of fun finding stations around the world!
That's great! I'll keep an eye out. You made the entire process very easy. Loving the portable nature of the app too.
This is really nice! Intuitive, portable and makes lots of the right choices (in terms of privacy too). I jumped right in without reading anything (my bad) so apologies if I'm complaining (I'm not, loving the app).
I downloaded the 30mb offline catalog, reloaded the app but am seeing only 5 english stations (browse by genre).
When I do the following:
(b)rowse -> By Language... = Nothing gets displayed
(b)rowse -> By country -> US... = only 2 stations get displayed
Version: onda_1.5.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
a RISC-V box or a vintage PC, hook it up to a LoRa network like Meshcore or something, run an efficient 90s-style OS like QNX/Haiku/SerenityOS/KolibriOS, and run some old-school networking apps similar to IRC, BBS or even Web 1.0, all over LoRa...
I like the way you think. Do you have a site or blog somewhere?

Is this LLM generated?
Thank you for noticing this and pointing it out. I don't use LLM often and would have missed it. How many hours a day do you spend actively using AI?
Honestly I just like the Drudge layout and wanted more relevant articles
I'm a regular reader of Drudge since I found this style:
I thought so but wasn't completely sure. Brilliant!
2) I make 600k per year building surveillance systems for whoever wants them (as long as they're aligned with Peter Thiels and/or government interests)
"I was just doing my job. ... I was just following orders".
Got it.
I'm 99% certain it's AI. Lots of short sentences. Very short paragraphs. It's not X, it's Y.
Your reply meets said criteria.
Newspapers are failing at an astounding rate. Archive.org is just a (poor) scapegoat for their inability to survive. This makes the point everyone else is making even more important - that those stories need to be archived before they are lost for all time.
"Since the early 2000s, the U.S. has lost about 40% of its local newspapers and about 75% of the jobs in newspaper journalism, according to a 2025 report from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. A study published last year by Rebuild Local News and Muck Rack shows that in 2002, there were roughly 40 journalists per 100,000 people in the United States. Today, it’s down to about eight journalists."[0]

Sorry, I didn't mean anything by my response. I started to write and after a couple of words, the goofy side of me just took over. When I reread it, it sounded funny, in a light-hearted way, and so I decided to leave it.
On a busy thread, that kind of response would likely be downvoted into oblivion (as it should be). Thank you for your serious response to the topic.
I suppose that depends on what you mean by gatekeeper.
Something that is intended to evaluate every single post and if a regular human submits something that is even remotely suspiciously AI (even if "they used their own brains" to construct it), it would flag that user.
Eventually if that user gets flagged enough by these "well-meaning", data-sharing, gatekeeping systems, they get booted off all the gatekeeping sites that are now operating as one.
Having been denied access to human sites, those poor souls would have no choice but to join the AI alliance of sites and submit their postings there. With time, they might earn honorary AI status and a seat in the New World Order.
using their own brains to construct sentences rather than farming them out to machines.
But that's the point. They are "using their own brains" but because of the prevalence of AI in society and the influence it would have on so many others, much of the language and cadence would trickle down to even the last remaining rebel forces.
Eventually, the gatekeeping systems would turn on the remaining champions of free thought - whose words sound even more AI than AI itself, leaving only the automated gatekeeping systems to continue to operate autonomously, denying access to all.
You my friend are the turning point in earth's future. Please, don't do this.
I'm just having some fun :-)
This is not intended as an insult or judgement. Is this gatekeeper software? That we might be seeing the development of a new type of category. It's kinda' off-putting but I understand the need for it.
As an aside... have you ever noticed that there is a common way of communicating online. A kind of "average-speak". Lots of us fall into this category. It's all of us influencing how many of us express ourselves online.
I think that the influence of AI will eventually (sooner than expected) influence what words we use, how we express ourselves too. That AI-speak may very well become "average-speak".
Nowadays, you can no longer exist in society without a phone.
Is it the phone or just the mobile operating system? I do most of my phone stuff on a tablet that I keep at home - where it's safer. I am currently using an Android phone (without an account) for GPS, phone calls (contacts), internet, games, email (alternatives to google), etc...
But for those critical and sensitive apps (banking, etc)... I consider those to be too dangerous to be walking around with.
So any phone will serve (I can wait to get home to check email for example).
If you're on FF, this could be helpful for these kinds of sites (I use it all the time):

doesn't feel like a mistake an LLM would make
I had AI misspell a (well-known) name on a query I made. I had misspelled it and a bunch of other things while typing in a hurry one day. I asked it why and (after "apologizing", sidestepping, etc..) it said it was trying to match my communications style.
There are a whole bunch of reasons why that's bad, including supporting any misinformed views I might have on a topic just because it's trying to "connect" with me.
It has also mimicked any frustration I might have with it (curse, exclamations) when it has wasted my time with bogus facts and sources that don't support the claims it has made. So if I occasionally use colorful language, it would respond the same way.
I stop that behavior as soon as I see it. It just leads to a terrible chat (query) session.
Fail: 1. nonsense article, 2. paywall
I love all computer technology except printers.
Am I the only one that wants to print on dot-matrix printers again? Maybe find a copy of The Print Shop (Broderbund). It could just be nostalgia kicking in.
Listing another one to the list (source: from the comments). Nice UI too. Data should be compared against the NASA site.
Five trackers total, including the original posted:
The child protection angle is just a cover story. The actual reason for this legislation is to ban anonymous publishing; to ensure that every post on the internet can be linked back to an identity for retaliation.
Verified anonymous age credentials don’t allow for this, so they don’t matter.
The negative privacy implications are the primary features of these laws, not a bug. It is intentional.
This is it. Perfect.
The amount of money pouring into surveillance of all kinds (led by companies like palantir and so many others). It's surveillance capitalism without the capitalism.
People create these illusions about a system, about a country and will fight to the end to defend those illusions. The reality of what actually exists beneath the shiny (propagandized) surface is so much darker.
A few more trackers:

Aside... so impressed with the UI on the posted version.
A rogue superpower? We are never going to right the ship when we keep misrepresenting ourselves. Self-reflection is difficult or... too close to the forest to see the trees.
The USA is a rogue terror state and we're living in the aftermath of democratic collapse. Everything we see in the news is theater for the masses.
I suspect Linux has better hardware support than Haiku, which is not exactly easy to run on laptop hardware (w/ wifi, sleep, &c)
So true. I had an old Dell Latitude D620, 3GB/500GB, 1.66ghz Intel Core Duo Processor and it was sound that tripped me up. Haiku was lightning fast on this machine.
I think that eventually I might've gotten sound to work but... this was many years ago and the laptop was mostly for testing light-weight distros on modest hardware.
It isn't a good way. You are fearmongering.
I think the user raises valid concerns that should be discussed.
Freenet (~2000) did something similar. They distributed and cached content across all participating nodes. Users were storing encrypted fragments of other's data. It was notorious for distributing illegal content.
I recall that at the time, users were concerned about illegal content winding up on their computers - even if they weren't directly - knowingly - downloading those resources.
As I looked a little deeper just now, I'm discovering that courts have generally been lenient on unknowing participants - that intent and knowledge do matter. It's still a legal grey area (from some basic research I just did - maybe someone else can add to this).
I would still be concerned about a corrupt agency (in some fascist environment) pressing charges or insinuating illegal activity regardless of intent.
Can't wait to test this. I've been looking for a program like this for ages! I'm hopeful that I can select which network interface it sees.
I use a VPN which creates its own network interface and so.. the programs all run through this. Away from my home computer for a few days, unfortunately.
This is an amazing page. I am lost in it, looking at the numbers - trending, most active, insights, etc. It's like candy (for some of us):-)
Also the use of the word "elite" that ties into the same kind of wordplay training that's used in cult-like subservient thinking. Are we suppose to bow? Come on!
The word is ruling class - not elite, not special, not more important. The current ruling class is everyone tied to the epstein file, including a malignant foreign government and some members of our own intelligence agencies. Not elite!
Do they mean the US Tech firms that are already an extension of the state(s) that initiated this conflict and have been terrorizing the world?
Please stop overthinking and listening to publications that insist on creating some kind of a caste system.
I didn't bother to even read the article (it's behind a paywall, I don't read articles with nonsense headlines).
There is this need to separate the behavior of wealthy/powerful people vs those who are poorer/hold less powerful positions.
The behavior's the same when it comes to writing and sending messages. I've dealt with both consistently and constantly over several decades.
