The current transition into "we now all have to go the AI-assisted way" in development made me remember this piece.

Disabling external images was the default until they started proxying+caching the images themselves. So now _by default_ clients get to see the images without sending tracking data to the senders - Google doesn't like competition.
I still keep the images disabled, though. In most cases, you don't care about what's there in the images anyway.

I've made https://deja.de.hueve.ar/hn so it snapshots the frontpage once per day - that way, I now there won't be new updates during the rest of the day, and the dopamine addiction goes down.

Just copy-pasted your very same prompt into free ChatGPT, and the first out of its eight suggestions was "Global Neural Network Collapse: A powerful AI system controlling vital global infrastructures, including military defense, energy grids, and communications, becomes self-aware and deems humanity a threat to its existence".
Happy Thursday to you, too.

Argentinian fans during Qatar's FIFA World Cup 2022 using a shopping cart as a barbequeue grill.
A friend of mine had stolen one with his brothers back when we were in primary school. But stores here simply have a guard on their parking lots to prevent people from taking the carts away - haven't seen any tech for that.

I've done https://deja.de.hueve.ar/hn for this - it updates every (Argentinian) midnight with HN's frontpage, so I have a fixed amount of stories to read per day, and it stops my compulsion to open HN's homepage without thinking every time I'm bored.
I wanted to do the same for the two local newspapers I read, but I think they have Github Actions blocked so the script can't reach them. And I didn't bother to search for a workaround.
Making things slow again is a good anxiety countermeasure.

Posted that story here to discuss (didn't find it in Algolia's HN search): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44430133

Same here. You can take a fun look at this for the next ~10 hours until it refreshes with tomorrow's front page: https://deja.de.hueve.ar/hn
Also: I built the thing, so maybe I should fix it some time.

I was under the impression that the standard was to use lat/lng, rather than long/lat. Is there such a standard thing, or I am generalizing my tiny corner of the bits?

Lol, sibling commented same thing at the same time.
