Hacker News

Some of the information on there is useful, but I'd say that alternativeto.net is an almost perfect example of a bloaty & hostile website. OP's website is much more pleasant.

Seems to be overloaded.

I wonder if the site needs a bit more bloat to handle the load, or a bit less.

Same, works on Chromium but not Firefox.

Same, it's not just you. I'm wondering if this is an exotic symptom of the site running out of capacity.

Same here, but it works on chromium, eww and lynx.

Same, bitdefender blocked me

Same on Chromium-based browsers.

The irony is strong with this one

I about to splutter that 1.9MB is a huge sitemap, but it's 12kB.

Do you mean crawling the entire sitemap and concatenating the results is 1.9MB?

I think it's just a pretty consolidated space? Kind of like ebook management, which was dominated by Calibre for so many years (this changed recently).

But unlike ebooks, media centre management is a fair bit more complex since it involves supporting many different media formats and many forms of acceleration or transcoding.

So the big projects - Kodi for local media and Jellyfin for streaming - have a lot of inertia because they tend to support whatever you throw at them.

The inclusion of Tailscale here was a little surprising to me. I'm betting on the latter.

There are a lot of electric cars that are relatively normal, usually from more traditional auto manufacturers.

Toyota bZ/bZ Woodland, the entire Hyundai/Kia lineup, Honda Prologue, Jaguar i-pace, original Audi e-tron

I haven’t seen the newer Nissan infotainment system, not sure about that one.

Are these without tech? No, not at all, but they do have fast and simple interfaces that are designed to dump you into CarPlay/Android Auto with ease, and a good amount of them retain separated climate controls that live outside the screen.

Obviously if you want something like a 2008 Accord that’s not really going to be a thing, but almost everyone who isn’t Tesla or Rivian is surprisingly conventional. If you haven’t done much EV shopping and your impression of EVs is “they’re all like Tesla where everything is in the screen” that isn’t true at all. For example, Kia/Hyundai EV models have absolutely zero difference between the gas models and EVs in terms of control design. Toyota’s latest infotainment system is as basic and straightforward as it gets.

Slate? Or just remove the cellular modem from a Tesla and you have a more or less "dumb" car.

I find my Mii Electric qualifies.

Actually think the suckless people would hate this. Google login and nothing there looks light weight in the suckless spirit.

"Use /* */ for comments, not //."

I find stuff like this hilarious. No software project has ever failed, or even slow down one iota, because of the comment style. This is just someone's personal "ick" masquerading as "coding standards."

EDIT: I think it has actually been becoming a dad of two boys that has absolutely killed my patience for this kind of thing. A lot of it is so similar to how my children argue with each other over absolutely trivial things. Add in the way they say "I don't like that" as "that's not fair" (my children) or "that's not consistent" (the bike shedding nerds) and it just makes me want to scream, "stop whining!"

Same here. I’m guessing that’s not accidental.

How do you define "AI generated slop"?

There's also an implicit judgment in your question. Is well-designed, well-tested AI-generated code worse than poorly written, but hand-typed code?
