I love @pimterry@twitter.com's @HttpToolkit@twitter.com so damn much, it's the only thing that let me intercept Android apps' requests, and did it with just two clicks.

I'm just stunned, fantastic work.

I just found out about HTTP Toolkit, @pimterry, and I will love you forever for it.

Steam Deck looks very compelling and I don't even game.

I went to a mafia-owned store to buy a flower, but it turned out it was just a frond.

I read an article the other day that argued against PR reviews, and I was dismayed to realize that I took the process so much for granted that I never stopped to wonder whether we could improve it.

I will try to look at everything more critically from now on.

Does anyone know a way to get GitHub Copilot? I'd like to try it out, but there's a waitlist.

I made a Telegram bot that will notify you of replies to your HN comments:

Still in beta, but feedback is appreciated.

The Orville is frustratingly cartoonish. Star Trek never shied away from hard ethical questions, but the Orville brushes them away with technobabble.

Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't go into it expecting "a new Star Trek".

Does anyone know why scientists are alarmed about the Delta variant? As fas as I can see, the vaccine is quite effective against that one too?

Τι βολικός ο Μπάμπης να ασχολούμαστε τώρα που πέρασε το εργασιακό. Μας αφορά πολύ περισσότερο ο τυχαίος εγκληματίας παρά το ότι πλέον διαβρώνονται τα εργασιακά μας δικαιώματα.

I just saw someone on Tiktok tell people to Google a URL and click the first result and it is truly the end of days.

TIL that the "spam" in "spam mail" is from a Monty Python sketch about SPAM the meat-like thing.

I've been watching the Orville, and got to S01E03, with the baby. It started out really strong, and could have explored some very interesting ethics, but quickly devolved into "our culture is better because it's ours".

Such a shame, for a moment it looked like a new Star Trek.

I hope future generations will see us as the era when people put profit above anything else.

At least that'll mean they won't.

I'm watching Friends Reunion and, if anything, it's sad because the only thing that feels real in it is @MatthewPerry@twitter.com's line "I don't hear from anyone [from the rest of the cast]".

I bought (and am wearing) a dress. So far, I've gotten much fewer encouraging comments than I'd have liked. Most people aren't loving that a man is wearing a dress.

How come whenever I start working on something fun at around midnight, I look at the clock half an hour later and it's already 5am?

The @skroutzit@twitter.com saga continues: They sold me a phone that loses sound a few seconds into each and every call, I sent it back within a week and they said it's working fine.

They sold me a defective device and they refuse to take it back or replace it. Stay far, far away.
