Flameshot like Lightshot the one on chrome?

If you have something to say, say it. People don’t have the time to go investigate, but maybe you have something interesting to claim with a source.

For all I know you found a way to tie some software to a politician you want me to hate, or the guy that wrote it donated to $50 to a cause you don’t like, or they murdered beagle puppies in some horrendous way. Just spit it out.

Yeah. This is like clickbait titles. They hate something something for something something reason and won't tell cos it's probably something small.

They leave the comment making it look like the person made something huge. Only to find out that they didn't use the coaster while drinking his chilled beer.

And I don't care about this instance, I am not going to look it up. I have far more negative vibes about the OP in question than Lightshot.

Very bad dark pattern I've been seeing more and more these days.

Lightshot is a cloud-first screenshot tool. This means you shouldn't screenshot sensitive information. That's all I could find.

Considering that there are many tools like ShareX where uploading the screenshot is a feature, I don't really see reboot81's poor attempt at "spreading awareness" as genuine.

Cheaper coffee this must mean for europe.

And it's already pretty cheap, how much cheaper can it get? Usually you'd pay somewhere around 1-1.2 EUR for an espresso, 1.5-2.0 EUR for "fancier" coffees, at least here in Spain (depends a lot on exactly where though).

You never make your own coffee at home then?

Price of coffee as in the ingredient for making the espresso has about doubled since covid.

Where exactly has it doubled? I don't think I've noticed that here, I have coffee outside and at home.

Coffee has been getting more expensive for years, albeit mainly due to climate-related factors rather than political ones. In northern Europe it (like most things) is a lot more expensive.

Since covid coffee has doubled in price.

But where? Certainly not here.

I wasn't even aware that was possible. I will IMMEDIATELY do this. The mere fact this is necessary to stop their data-fiending is disgusting. You prepend it everytime you run Claude or do you slap that into an .env file?

These are good to append to your .bashrc or .zshrc (depending on your shell of choice) and they'll be picked up.

More generically-named env vars should not be set as an "export" in a rc file like that (IS_DEMO/DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER etc). They'll get exported to every process spawned by the shell, which could have unintended consequences.

You could instead eg:

  alias code='DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1 IS_DEMO=1 /usr/local/bin/code'

or write a wrapper shell script (analyse/adjust $PATH if you're going to name it the same as an existing binary/script), eg

  #!/bin/bash

  export FOO=bar

  exec /usr/local/bin/code

Oh, shame, I use claude across 4-5 devices, but thanks anyways.

I would strongly encourage you to create a global shared bashrc for your various devices - my dotfiles repo has tremendously improved my life as an eng who needs to discard dev boxes occasionally (virtual dev boxes)

They charge based on consumption as the comment below me stated.

Ah sorry, I was thinking about the Pro / Max plan, not API token usage

The Pro and Max plans don't have a device limit either.

I frequently use Claude code in disposable virtual machines.

I think they charge based on consumption, not devices.

You can also put these into settings.json.

  > I wasn't even aware that was possible.

That's why you should always read the manual! These aren't hidden and secret settings:

And, if you really hate manuals, you can just ask Claude to write the settings for you =D

> to stop their data-fiending

Every time you run it, it uploads most of your project's code to Anthropic's server. That's just how this category of product works. If you're disgusted by a survey...

The voting I don't mind, but the comments, they reek AI-slop, all the top ones, almost always on all AI model posts.

This last week man... the amount of Gemini,Codex,Claude-shilling has been through the f* roof. Literally everyday someone is talking about how "mystically good" Claude is, how Claude is different. Wow Claude, wow codex and gemini, never going back to Qwen blabla. It's nauseating I should probably take a Meclizine to deal with it,

How did you verify these posts were from legit bots? Can you share an example?

I say that because I believe there are a lot of devs who really want that stuff to be true. They want to be able to perform better, they want to do less "boring work" so they can move on to bigger things and so on. And just like a person can be a fan of a sports team, a form of brand loyalty, I can certainly see people forming the same relationships with AI brands for $REASON. I don't doubt AI brand fans exist. Humans get sentimental and attached to things. Especially things that they perceive as having helped them.

How I verified, I didn't verify nothing, this is just a gut feeling . Ai are tools, getting into a personal relationship with them is ridiculous. No point in shilling them

> Ai are tools, getting into a personal relationship with them is ridiculous. No point in shilling them

Well you have people who work in vocational jobs who develop brand loyalties to tools such as John Deere, Caterpillar, Snap On, and so on. These companies sell branded merchandise such as apparel and other trinkets to promote the brand via their fans. Visit a vocational forum and you will see how people can be rabid tool brand fanatics, smack talking each others favorite tool brands.

I do believe there is AI shilling for sure. But I also believe there are people who really want AI to level the playing field for them so they too can be/feel like a 10x engineer or whatever. They invest themselves in the technology using a branded product which they can form an emotional attachment (e.g. Claude helped me feed my family. Thanks Claude!) So you get these gushy posts that feel like shilling but might be an emotional outburst of support for their favorite brand.

I do so as well, especially if there is any discussion of AI models. If it's Claude someone says how Qwen is better, if it's Codex, someone says Claude is better, if it's Gemini someone says OpenAI is better. I get it, it's all a battle of the most users as more users=more finetuning, but goodness lord. Everything is one overfitted mess and I can't bear read the comments anymore. Shill after shill

Goodness gracious

I’d reckon a set of mods with no superiority complex is one step though lol

You mean, like, the actual moderators, overseeing the actions that people keep attributing to "moderators" who objectively are nothing of the sort?

It's honestly really frustrating to keep reading these takes.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Suppose HN allowed regular users to perform certain moderation actions. I use that and start powertripping and deleting all your posts, for instance. In that scenario, I expect dang would reach out to me pretty quickly and tell me to please stop doing that.

In that case, dang would be part of the "vetted set of mods" I mention with the power to overturn my decisions, because HN is paying him to make sure the site runs in line with its vision, even if that means disagreeing with the "ground-level" moderators.

I'm pretty sure you and I see eye to eye on this, given your other comments on the topic here.

It was my understanding that circulating free triglycerides and LpA were the main risk factors for CAD and not LDL. In addition to AGEs?

Isnt this just a blackberry?

“Just”? A blackberry was a lot of a thing.

even it is "JUST" a blackberry, seems like there is a market for that again. Although it would be nice if they had their own OS like blackberry and ditched android.

Do we really wanna go back to using keyboards? Like Steve Jobs said, the keyboard shouldnt be visible when not in use, but I dunno, seems more like a niche nostalgia product

Jobs said a lot of things designed to make his tchotchke look better than the other guy's. He said he couldn't use a Samsung 8 inch tablet without filing his fingers down, while working on the iPad Mini at that same exact time.

At least on the iphone, the onscreen keyboard has gotten worse with every release, so I guess maybe something new is in order.
