>AI is killing our agency

>We manage millions of dollars in annual Meta ad spend.

So AI is doing something good for once :)

Ah yes, the nazis. So yeah, censorship is great then because nazis. Is HN becoming reddit?

>what value are local laws

local laws are local and not global. otherwise we could start obeying Iran's or North Korea's laws just to be safe of not breaching any local laws.

>All it takes is a tiny drone with a stick attached, and at the end of that stick is a tiny sponge soaked with tempera paint.

This must be the most hi-tech solution to a low tech problem I've seen this week ;)

"It's my job - I just followed orders"

Meh, the threat vector to me as a resident of Germany is the German government - not some dude at the other end of the world. What is Musk going to do? Ban me from Twitter? Not sell me a Tesla?

That's nothing compared to what German authorities can do to me. Germany is a country where you get police searching your home for torrenting movies or making stupid jokes on Facebook. So yeah.

Also about enshittification - one could argue that our local ISPs never left that phase to begin with.

He could just turn off Starlink in Germany. And yes, German ISPs suck donkey ass.

He could sell information about which websites you visit.

So can every website with a tracking cookie

Only for that website.

>Regardless of who is at fault, you are losing a lot of customers that way.

Don't know. Germans are stingy. I'm German, I live in Germany yet I don't even localize my software to German anymore because German downloads wouldn't convert in any meaningful way. (Even when I had German localization).

It's just anecdotal of course but every other dev I talked to would confirm this unless they had some very germany-specific product.

I'm glad Vodafone is available where I live. They're not better but at least they're an alternative. Also Telekom manages only to deliver 250mbit/s while Vodafone gets 1gbit/s.

Last apartment I rented Telekom was the only option and that was one of the reasons why I decided to move.

Starlink I would love to try but as there's building and trees blocking the horizon it's not an option here sadly.

Not an alternative anymore. Vodafone started doing the same shit with their peering at the end of last year.

Both throttle in my area unless we vpn so I just share a vpn with a friend to fix it.

Vodafone seems also terrible, but maybe better than DT?

I have the same problem with Jekyll. I fixed my website for the Jekyll version I installed when I got this machine (in 2021). I dread the moment when I get a new computer and have to either try to install this particular version of Jekyll or to fix my website again.

I just assumed static website generators would be stable but well, there's always something that breaks. Terrible user experience for someone who just wants to use the generator to generate a website vs. to tinker with it as a hobby.

I'm in the process of porting my website to PHP ... but that project hasn't gone anywhere because currently everything works ;)

In retrospect, Jekyll has been relatively stable recently. The last stable release was in January 2025, v4.4.1[1].

I've been using 4.3 to 4.4 without much issues, granted the sites I generate are simple.
