Does this have the ridiculous dark patterns that Deliveroo in the UK has? “Pay a monthly fee for free deliveries!*
*We won’t tell you, but you might notice, we’ve now increased the service charge by almost the amount of what you saved on that free delivery.
And yet, the Emacs community appears more vibrant than ever with many AI-assisted/-related projects (ghostty.el and agent-shell.el, among others) thriving and bringing a fresh wind into the ecosystem!
Danke Merkel!

For clarification, “default” above doesn’t mean “In Berlin you get insured with TK by default”, and rather “Most people in Berlin will recommend choosing TK over a different state-mandated insurer”. TK was also very popular when I was back in university in Frankfurt. It might just still be the one with reasonable prices!
I’d be curious about that web to kindle one you built. Mind sharing?
Some of your points are addressed by: https://github.com/apple/password-manager-resources
Except it wasn’t for all users. IIRC it either didn’t show for all, or it was the WinRAR equivalent of you being able to say “maybe later” and it left you alone for a long while.
At the rate that people claim AWS us-east to go down, folks will argue that OVH has a tendency to go up in flames!
Can you describe your setup on how you use LLMs within Emacs?
For context, David Kriesel gave the infamous talk called “BahnMining” at 36C3 highlighting this. IIUC it’s only available in German: https://youtu.be/0rb9CfOvojk
What makes you think that? Genuine question, as I’ve not flagged it as such in my mind.
Ok I’ll bite. Was it worth it? What have people missed that haven’t used it.
I like https://lookscanned.io/
As an aside: have you thought about using agent-shell?
Come to think of it, maybe they had a play on 4o being “40”, and o4-mini being “04”, and having to append the “mini” to bring home the message of 04<40
Mind sharing your DAW app?
A classic issue of AI generated READMEs. Never to the point, always repetitive and verbose
Using it in GUI mode, you’ll end up using the terminal inside Emacs!
My biggest revelation was when I realized how to use Emacs to learn about Emacs. Knowing where to look up function, variable definitions etc was an eye opener in my understanding of how things work and are piped together
Why do you think our should not? Sincerely asking.
And while I’m here, if you’re implying that Signal is Blut trustworthy, you should step out of the HN bubble and have a look around what everyone and their dog shares through less secure means
I don’t think there’s a correct answer here. Whatever floats your boat. Do you want to scribble things by hand into a physical notebook? Great! Want to use Notepad on Windows for .txt? Or create a .docx using Word?
Don’t follow trends and seek the “next best way to hack your productivity”. Most of those things are snake oil and a waste of time. Just use whatever you have available and build a process yourself. That’s what most people have done that are successful in applying this. They just use the tool they are comfortable with, and don’t over engineer for the sake of it
Their point was that (i) React becoming the defacto standard played into the hands of Meta, who are interested in tracking people. (ii) Tracking is made easier by running arbitrary JavaScript in the browser. And (iii) before SPAs were big (pre-React), more people used to completely disable JS in their browser.
Not saying I buy this theory. Just trying to explain what I think they were alluding to, as I had the impression you missed it and went in a different direction.
Just that it’s all done from the comfort of the editor one knows and loves, with the same key binding and semantics that at there, whether you edit files in fired, write code, a commit message or an email.
Not to get too deep into this, but there’s this warm fuzzy feeling of not having to use /yet another different app/ that’s ever so slightly different to the optimal workflow you have otherwise
What routes are those? I thought you can only be picked up/dropped off at designated stops
Not OP, but I heavily rely on Google Maps reviews. Haven’t found another platform that replaces them.
The embedded video in the README is working just fine in Safari on iOS
Thanks! Looks like I missed that last part somehow :)
Also wondering if, as another commenter mentioned, it might be trying to estimate your location just by network means.
In 2017, the Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf (and two others artists from a trio called "LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner") put up a flag in an undisclosed location as part of their "HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US" work [1].
On March 8, 2017, the stream resumed from an "unknown location", with the artists announcing that a flag emblazoned with the words "He Will Not Divide Us" would be flown for the duration of the presidency. The camera was pointed up at the flag, set against a backdrop of nothing but sky. [...], the flag was located by a collaboration of 4chan users, who used airplane contrails, flight tracking, celestial navigation, and other techniques to determine that it was located in Greeneville, Tennessee. In the early hours of March 10, 2017, a 4chan user took down and stole the flag, replacing it with a red 'Make America Great Again' hat and a Pepe the Frog shirt.

AI slop, but also for all the imagery. The early 00s called, and want their large icons back. This is the worst landing page I’ve seen—almost screams crypto-scam.
