well, the only conclusion I get from this article is that politics in general suck.

slightly related, what are the best open source RSS readers for iOS? as far as I know, HN has an RSS Feed available.

I don't know about "best", but I've tried many, Reeder, Feedly etc, for many years. These are not OSS though, but Reeder was my favorite of the bunch.

I settled on running NewsBlur on an OVH instance, it's open source and so are the apps. https://github.com/samuelclay/newsblur

On the desktop I use the default web interface, it runs and looks nice. A bit too many batteries included, but you can turn things off.

It's Django, so you can vibe code to your heart's delight. I did.

Highly recommend NetNewsWire, especially if one is already using it on any other Apple device. Recent updates have substantially improved its performance (on both iOS and macOS), so it's worth a second look if you haven't tried it recently.

the only conclusion i get from this article is that using WordPress is unsafe; just like using Node, Python, Arch Linux, and any platform whose package manager allows community sourced packages.

i'll copy the comment i left there:

i find it hilarious how no one has "left a trace" in this post's comment section yet.

on the other hand, i think having to register an account on an unknown service (i don't know what will Discus do with my data) just to leave a comment is something the average reader (including myself) will not do; this being the exception, not the norm. in fact, i used a throwaway email for creating this account.

but i can also see how hard it would be to moderate an account-less comment section.

~~so, i will invite anyone who reads my comment to, instead of only replying here, forwarding any replies to any of my contact methods available on my website: https://jotalea.com.ar/~~ ignore this part, i do read HN often, so i will likely see the replies.

i'm surprised that a model i had never used (Kimi K2 0905) has information (vague, but true) on who i am

it got dismissed as unlikely, though.

this is awesome. i can't wait for someone to make a website that lists websites with list of websites you can submit your websites to.

a couple years ago i read a blog post about someone talking about how fragmentation in word processors work, explaining that most word processors started as "this software does only what i need, and will not have X feature that Y has because it's annoying/bloated" [0].

it is great seeing Argentinian software (Pluma) being used outside dedicated forums.

it took me 5 minutes with the cheapest Claude Code plan to make a userscript with cheats for this game.

I like your post, let me buy you a coffee ;)
