A bunch of these are popping up because LocalStack changed their free tier and people needed something else. This isn’t trying to replace all of LocalStack. Just the basic stuff people were using before, and keep it fast for local dev.. If you care about exact behavior or edge cases you still need real AWS. This is more for quick integration tests so you’re not hitting AWS all the time.

What’s different? IDK, you could try the "dozen AI vibe coded shitty local stack alternatives" and post it on your blog

> I think we must make it clear that this is not related to AI at all

Yeah, many companies do that. I unsusbcribed from newline, they still keep spamming me. Funny thing is, they realised they had made a mistake and promised to remove unsubs. One week later, the spam started.

The correct solution is the spam button. Always

> The correct solution is the spam button. Always

The correct solution is filing complaints with your country's relevant authority

In theory. In practice-- I would spend all my time just filing complaints, because today, in 2026, I get more spam from "legitimate" companies than "Nigerian scammer" types

I wish I could without going through a long process involving tons of personal info

It's not a false positive to classify a company as a bad actor and move their emails to the spam folder if they refuse to respect user choices. If anything, I wish it would happen more often and at a massive scale, because then maybe companies would have an incentive to stop being so hostile around this.

Agreed, but the false positive I am referring to is the cathching of the non-spam message from the source of the previous spam message.

They shouldn't send marketing mail from an address they want to be read. I think that's been the standard for a while, in practice - most actual transactions come from orders@<blank> or something similar while marketing mail comes from a dozen other addresses.

Agreed, but many do. They want all mail to be read. Worst offender here is a bank.

> it decides, no, you must want to select that whole word

Yeah this arrogance where my tool decides what I want to do, and even if I put the cursor to where it will want, Apple will (un)helpfully move it. Because Apple thinks its users are retards and need help

Yeah what’s with the cursor moving thing? I put the damn thing where I wanted. Why move it? It’s so interrupting to general mental flow having to constantly check and double check every action.

The autocorrect is a real pain, especially when you are using a correct and grammatical word, but Apple decides, F&ck you, you will use this other word instead.

And the text select has been broken for years, as the site points out. I thought it was a mobile thing until I used an Android, and it just worked.

These are minor irritations, but they are adding up so much so I'm thinking about Android...

I cancelled my personal O365 subscription for this reason, even though I prefer Word to LibreOffice and the crap my Mac provides-- it wasnt just they raised the price, it was the new "AI" features they kept pushing.

When I cancelled, I made it clear why I was doing it. But I doubt anyone reads the feedback we provide

I use the personal subscription for the onedrive storage for my phones fotos

sorry, but thats a misleading title. The article is more like "Everything I hate about the AI companies"

You can hate (or at least disagree with) how companies like OpenAi work, and still believe in their hype (or at least that they will make good money).

Everyone hate cigarette companies yet they continue giving great stock returns.

Most of the article is standard complaint we've heard before. Im not defending OpenaI (or MEta or whatever), but these complaints have been heard a million times. Why is this on the front page?

NEVER get a semi automatic (washing machine), they are too much hassle. It forces you to do half the work yourself

True, but this is the most basic, non-smart machine. It runs on simple wiring and manual controls, but it gets the job done, especially when it comes to washing. Drying isn’t perfect, and yes, it requires some effort, but it’s the cheapest machine you can get.

The left blames BBC, calling them Tory shills, the right blames them, calling them woke activists.

Dont know--seems to me they are doing the right thing.

>In iOS you can share a subset of your contacts.

the problem is, the app must respect that.

WhatsApp, for all the hate it gets, does.

"Privacy" focused Telegram doesnt-- it wouldnt work unless I shared ALL my contacts-- when I shared a few, it kept complaining I had to share ALL

Is it something specific to iOS Telegram client?

On Android Telegram works with denied access to the contacts and maintains its own, completely separate, contact list (shared with desktop Telegram and other copies logged in to same account). I'm using Telegram longer than I'm using smartphone and it has completely separate contact list (as it should be).

And WhatsApp cannot be used without access to contacts: it doesn't allow to create WatsApp-only contact and complains that it has no place to store it till you grant access to Phone contact list.

To be honest, I prefer to have separate contact lists on all my communication channel, and even sharing contacts between phone app and e-mail app (GMail) bothers me.

Telegram is good in this aspect, it can use its own contact list, not synchronized or shared with anything else, and WhatsApp is not.

I’ve never allowed Telegram on iOS to access my contacts, camera, or microphone and it’s worked just fine.

Looks to me like it was a bug. Not giving access to any contacts broke the app completely but limited access works fine except for an annoying persistent in app notification.

How does Telegram know that the subset you gave access to isn't ALL the contacts? Seems like iOS should not leak that bit of info to the app.

iOS generally solves this through App Store submission reviews so I’m surprised this isn’t a rule and that telegram got away with it. “Apps must not gate functionality behind receiving access to all contacts vs a subset” or something. They definitely do so for location access, for example.

>You aren't going to 'learn robotics' in a meaningful manner by checking the boxes in a online ROS2 course.

This is the best answer-- all other answers are saying "Run this simulation of a robot".

but a simulation is not a robot. Even a simple lego tupe robot kit shows you how fiddly and complex real world moving parts make everything.
