I agree that it feels a bit harsh. I feel a bit guilty.

But "silent mouths don't get fed". And I think I am speaking for a large number of users. And it's been over ten years now. So the voice of users might become a bit louder? I dunno. I read through all the features in the announcement and think "I don't need any of that. Who asked for all these things? Are they really user driven?".

And again no non-destructive adjustment layers, the saga continues!

When I talk to designers about Gimp they say "Uh, I tried it once years ago. But back then it was so archaic that you could not even change the contrast settings after you did something else to the image".

Little do they know. It is still that archaic.

Don't get me wrong. I use Gimp daily and love it. I am very grateful to the people who build it. But how this feature can be ignored after people have been begging for it for over a decade now is beyond me. As far as I can see, it is the number one reason why people do not consider Gimp as a Photoshop replacement.

I am a total music nut. So I would certainly try it if it had a web interface. For me, the barrier to install a native app on my phone is pretty high.

Looking at the permissions this app wants makes me feel even less comfortable. Access to my camera, my mic, my contacts, my identity, the data on my sd...

One of my favorite ways to discover music is Gnoosic (https://www.gnoosic.com) where I don't have to install anything and get results right away. I found some of my all time favorite bands this way.

Any other tips by the HN crowd on how to expand ones musical horizon?

What does that mean? How does an app send a "push notification" to Chrome?

Strange article

    I unlocked my phone and two
    accidental clicks led me to
    agree to a dialog that my brain
    immediately registered as suspicious

What type of dialog can pop up on your Android screen after unlocking and install "malware"? What is "malware" here? It looks like they mean an app from the play store?

    The next day, I picked up my phone and
    when I launched Chrome, I immediately
    noticed it was displaying a spammy URL.

How can one app alter the behavior of another?

Since everyone has the FB/Insta/WhatsApp apps installed, how can Apple prevent users from being tracked?

I would think when a user visits a web page, that page can deliver an insane amount of fingerprinting data along with the IP to FB. So it is easy for FB to correlate it with the users accounts which are phoning home on the same IP.

Other apps can send even more data to FB then a website. Seems hard to imagine FB can not figure out it is coming from the same phone.

Well, have you tried it?

Every time I try to book a trip, the single compartment is grey and says that this option is not available for this trip.

Well, that is a page which describes the options.

Bit have you tried the "Book ticket" button?

For me, it simply goes to the start page.

So I still don't know how to find the routes that offer these options.

Does it really spare you a hotel stay?

With a plane, I leave at 10:00 in the morning, arrive at say 14:00 in the other city and check into a hotel at 15:00.

With a train, I leave at 22:00 in the evening before, arrive at say 10:00 in the other city and check into a hotel at 15:00.

Same amount of hotel stays. A few more hours in the other city. But since I have to carry around my luggage and don't have a shower and toilet, I am not sure if those hours are a plus or a minus.

Flying is a lot of hassle though. You need to go to the airport which is far away from the center. In most cities half an hour to an hour. And you have to arrive at least an hour before your flight takes of. And you cannot buy a ticket spontaneously.

I love trains. They often go every hour. You can spontaneously take them. Right from the center. And you arrive right in the center. And you can freely chose your seat. So you can pick a pleasant neighbor. Or just change seat if your neighbor annoys you.

Apart from HN, which sites would that engine crawl?

Every other site on the net seems to sell you something.

Would you allow Wikipedia even though it tries to make you donate via those popup-like dialogs that slide in from the top?

Should one do a corona antibody test before getting the vaccine?

It does not make sense to get the vaccine if you already have the antibodies from a previous infection, right?
