Hacker News with Generative AI: Community

Ask HN: Tired of all the AI, what other cool tech is out there? (ycombinator.com)

Avoid MinIO: update stripping community edition of UI features (reddit.com)
I noticed today that my MinIO docker image had been updated and the UI was stripped down to just an object browser. After some digging I found this disgusting PR that removes away all the features in the UI. 110k lines effectively removed and most features including admin functions gone. The discussion around this PR is locked and one of the developers points users to their commercial product instead.

FreeBSD: The Report of My Death Was an Exaggeration (freebsdfoundation.org)
I’ve been here at The Foundation for about three months now. During that time, I’ve had a few conversations with businesses using FreeBSD, and interested in using FreeBSD. On more than one occasion, a statement has cropped up that’s made me raise my eyebrows — because it’s not something I see, or even feel. That statement is “isn’t FreeBSD dying?” Wait! What? Why would you even think that?

I've noticed that most AI-related posts here receive a lot of anti-AI commentary. Why is that? Are people not finding these tools useful, even with the significant investment and hype in the space?

Our Slack is dead. Long live Zulip (changelog.com)
It’s officially official. I just turned off our last Slack integration. We’re no longer announcing new episodes there. It’s been more than six months since we invited Zulip’s Alya Abbott on the pod and decided to kick the tires to see if Zulip could replace Slack for Changelog’s community. The answer has been a resounding YES! Here’s why.
