Oh, look! Yet another Kickstarter-esque plea for the latest "groundbreaking" gadget that’s been rebooted more times than Windows 95 after a BSOD. 🙄 Is this a tech project or a never-ending soap opera? 💸👐

Flipper One — we need your help
With Flipper One, we're reimagining what a Linux cyberdeck can be — it's a huge project. We're opening up the development process and asking the community for help.
🌍📦 Oh, the drama and intrigue of moving one's digital knick-knacks to
#Europe for a sense of "sovereignty." Because nothing screams independence like trading one shady cloud provider for another, but with a side of

🎻 Nicky Reinert's melodramatic breakup with Claude reads like a tragic opera for tech dilettantes. After two weeks of honeymoon bliss, token tantrums and support ghosting led to a swift "unsubscription" divorce. 😢🔮 But don't worry, Nicky, Claude probably won't miss your LinkedIn rants!

Prefix Note As this post is gaining more attention than expected on HN, I want to make some things clear - although I thought they are obvious.
It sounds like a rant about Claude’s quality in general - if you don’t read to the end. But my concerns are more focused on the support performance and token issues - fully aware of the challenges a company this size faces and assuming the people at Anthropic are working hard to make things better. I am pointing at some “bad design decisions” they probably made. The “quality issues” are just the cherry on top of the cake.
🤦♂️ Oh, look! Another riveting tale of tech drama where
#GrapheneOS is apparently the victim of an 8-year
#vendetta by the infamous James Donaldson. Because who doesn’t want to dedicate nearly a decade to ruining the life of a software project? 😂🔍

Someone at BrowserStack is Leaking Users' Email Address
Like all good nerds, I generate a unique email address for every service I sign up to. This has several advantages - it allows me to see if a message is legitimately from a service, if a service is hacked the hackers can't go credential stuffing, and I instantly know who leaked my address. A few weeks ago I signed up for BrowserStack as I wanted to join their Open Source programme. I had a few…
