You forgot to factor in the cost of a Mac.

You don't need a computer to develop Android apps?

Ubuntu is the Windows 11 of Linux. You have to do brain surgery on it post install, to remove unwanted crap. At least there's the option of using a different distro.

Yea, the dog shit pentalobe screwdrivers.

To avoid having to use Mac OS, and suffering the whims of Apple.

Hacks? In my Hacker News? The nerve!

_joel · 2026-04-21T11:24:49 1776770689

Are these hacks or cracks. I'd say the latter.

IshKebab · 2026-04-21T12:16:58 1776773818

I wouldn't. It doesn't appear that anything was cracked. Rather they just reverse engineered the protocol.

a96 · 2026-04-22T10:16:19 1776852979

That's a crack, but repurposing price tags to display things they weren't intended to is a hack.

Spawning a new tab is also hijacking the back-button, and should be disallowed completely. No exceptions. Opening a new tab, or god forbid a window, is messing with client software. Violations should carry a minimum 6 month jail sentence.

Pre-empting the web-mail comment: I know. I don't care.

Somehow we have cross platform software today that isn't Electron slop. And shoehorning absolutely everything into what used to be a document oriented application, creating this grotesque mutant abomination we have today, has just moved the minefield. How many RCE's has Chromium had?

Also, up until Windows Vista, Microsoft thought that making every account on their OS root by default was an amazing idea, further exacerbating the problem you describe, which I don't deny existed. Software distribution on Windows is still a shit-show today, but I guess there's too much momentum to move to a Linux-style repository. The Microsoft Store is a piss poor attempt.

HN is about to go down soon then, because a horde of "developers" are taking a collective time out from vibe coding AI slop to catch up on AI news.

Who knows what upsets ClownFlare? I'm using Vivaldi on Linux on IPv6 in Denmark with every uBlock filter enabled and Cookie Auto-delete. That seems to confuse and anger CloudFlare and I get CAPTCHA tarpitted constantly.

> They should have used a cookie or something else that does not require asking me every few minutes to prove once more that I am not a bot.

> every uBlock filter enabled and Cookie Auto-delete

Hmm

So you know why.

encom · 2026-04-12T17:34:32 1776015272

No, it could be any, or other, totally normal and reasonable factors. Or maybe I posted too much Cloudflare hate on HN and they singled me out.

They're in the walls!

Matt acting like he's a free speech absolutist. Hilarious.

Italy and Spain are the bad actors here. Not cloudflare.

HN in 2026: free speech is hilarious.

encom · 2026-04-12T17:35:21 1776015321

You have it backwards. I'm the free speech absolutist. Cloudflare is not.

bethekidyouwant · 2026-04-12T17:06:22 1776013582

On a scale of oppression he certainly leans towards free.

That's like being slightly pregnant.
