Why do the comments read exactly like HN comments tho :-D :-D

Guessing your mom was never a waitress. I don't tip in the UK because servers here have real wages and healthcare. But I'm American and I'll tip unless the server is actually actively rude.

">Do you think this is really about climate change? No, these are empty human beings, desperate for their lives to mean something. And their apocalyptic climate change model has done that for them. It has nothing to do with science. They probably don’t realize that the marginal rate of energy cost is fast approaching zero. That technological innovation is exponential and carbon capture can likely be made economical relatively soon. Hell, they probably aren’t even pro-nuclear."

Jerkoff sneering at intellectuals uses "marginal costs" as a metric without considering externalities that have nothing to do with economics (the softest of soft "sciences") and states that technological innovation is exponential as though that's a law of nature rather than a limited observation of a brief period in human history.

I remember the first time Daddy let me have a sip of a wine cooler too. Yawn. Hand him a moist towelette when he's done, somebody, wouldja? The grownups are working on grownup stuff.

Yes, absolutely no one uses an iPhone to go to Pornhub and spank themselves into oblivion because Steve and Tim said it's wrong

I absolutely get that, but I've been working with Claude remote control on my phone as I bicycle every other day. (I have heart and mobility problems and I have to take it gentle with exercise.) I ride to a beautiful spot where there's a bench and sit and use Claude to write features or React components. I'm actually wanting to try this to see if I can rig up a voice-control flow so I can literally just ride my bike all day from park to café to wherever and still be getting code done.

That's the dream, right?

I'm an American who lives just outside London in Watford, and I'm 17 minutes from Euston Station by train. I have been all over the city and never felt unsafe or nervous or even the need to be especially vigilant. When people say there's "gun crime" here they mean that once every few months someone fires a gun and it makes the national news. I've lived all over the American West and it's safer than even the rural towns I've lived in. All of this stuff is hilariously overblown, and when other British people talk about how dangerous London is, keep in mind it's like Farmer Giles talking about how Hobbiton is too big and full of futtiners who talk funny. To an American it's hilarious. It's, like, kids with boxcutters. For anyone who's ever lived in an American city like LA, this really is the Shire. It's all right-wing propaganda cooked up by Faragewald Mosley and his Temu bootboys.

For people who make their entire personalities about what their grandpa did in the War, they're sure seem hellbent on acting exactly like the people he did it to.

Well, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.

Oh no, his assistant will be buying all his groceries at a Florida Whole Foods instead of a California one and he'll be topping up his private jet at the Miami Airport instead of Oakland oh noooo how will California survive

That was very kind of you - both to want to solve her problem and to admit that your solution you put effort into wasn't the best one for her.

Well, this has absolutely decided me on not allowing AI agents anywhere near my open source project. Jesus, this is creepy as hell, yo.

I thought this was a news site for tech, not a Red Hot Chili Peppers lyrics repository

I'm working on a simple electron based launcher app for my XReal Air2 Pro AR glasses, which are the display for my Raspberry Pi cyberdeck. Nothing fancy, just an easy touch interface that uses luminosity-based transparency to make a goofy little cyberpunk HUD.

I switched to Qobuz a couple of weeks ago and I think I'm gonna cancel my Spotify subscription soon. It's got a better catalogue for the slightly obscure stuff I like and they pay artists much better.

Aside from that, I've got my entire music collection backed up on multiple drives (mostly by accident) and I bought an iPod Classic last year, upgraded the battery and storage, and I've got it all on there too, and it'll play for like a month straight on one battery charge now. Standby was six months easily.

I'm actually gonna turn a Pi Zero into a touchscreen Winamp clone by using Audacious or another app that uses Winamp skins. The main benefit of this is that I can connect it to my Bluetooth home speakers and use it.

My current Samsung doesn't have an SD card, but for my old phone, I just copied all my music to a 128GB micro SD and played it using BlackPlayer.

I'm thinking of getting a newer, cheaper music device because retrofitting Bluetooth into an iPod Classic is a bit of a bitch.

I sync my history between Fire/Waterfox on my phone and laptops, and since almost anything I wanna copy and paste is in the browser, I just open whatever it is from Other Devices. For files or images, I use LocalSend now for everything.

Which is not to say there's not a big use case for this, but speaking only for myself, it's not a pain point. But it looks cool!
