Obsidian might be even greater for notes. Looks beautiful, and it's super immersive on OLED especially. Worth trying for sure.

Tap to scroll might be possible to get also. Haven't felt need for it when it takes a few regular scrolls anyway.

Using AOSP-based Android roms, I haven't noticed any big changes in years. In current "android 16" and my old "android 10" device one couldn't really tell a difference. Very simple UX, no bloatware apps, no hidden drawers coming out from sides.

I've tried the vendor ones by Samsung, OnePlus etc with fresh devices and this Android experience really is awful.

"Major rewrite" from a company that has its products vibe-coded is hardly a worthy measurement.

On netcup I'm paying only 9€ for better specs. AMD 4 cores and 8GB ram. Worth looking at their offers/deals section.

Of course just a personal experience, but I feel like I'm getting a much more stable experience with AMD in arch+sway/i3. Some of my friends with RTX5080s and such frequently crash on alt-tab or just simply from opening Steam overlay in their W*ndows setup.

Even with tiled windows I haven't had any game crash like that once. "alt-tab" equivalent takes 1ms and it just works. I can throw around the game window between workspaces, resize etc.

It's worth giving it a try. Unfortunate if games with certain AC setups are wanted, like GTA:O or LOL, but I can live without them.

Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

How is this on-topic in any way?

Proton Meet 3 months ago

That doesn't even matter. Zoom, Teams, Google are American products and Proton is Swiss.

One side is hostile and focused on solely on shareholder profits, while other claims to be privacy-focused and majority owned by a nonprofit foundation.

There are enough public cases of American tech companies seriously violating privacy. I don't see how there can be hope for any privacy while using any of their products even if E2EE is claimed.

Exactly. Having just snapshots of db state isn't that useful, if running ai-slop queries has already triggered actions to external services (example: credit card issuer), warehouse processes (example: shipments, product lines...) , or similar.

There are of course some projects where it can be useful, assuming it works properly and that's not a given either when it's vibecoded.

A hidden benefit is having to decide now whether you actually need these things.

Messaging apps will continue working.

Banking apps made by reasonable companies will also. In days of banking being competitive and rather open with many providers offering good value, it's so easy to switch providers. Granted I am relatively poor and keep my banking simple, but I doubt card providers want to increase friction either. After Revolut started requiring >basic integrity it took me appx 1 day to switch to n26 and nothing of value was lost.

Not being able to use socialmedia, e-commerce, and dating apps sounds great.

Instead of dismissing it, perhaps just give it a try for 15 minutes. Couldn't possibly be worse than watching a mindnumbing 15minute youtube video / tv / reel-type content.
