Side note: I am really enjoying HN today with the set of stories with personal hacks like this i3-emacs integration, someone's desk setup, someone's writer-deck laptop install, the kinda hilarious but also hecka geeky thermal ttrpg thingamabob, and the 16 byte wake up demo. Fun geeky stuff that isn't AI,and I love AI, but it ain't everything.

I set up a crude set of Ublock Origin filters to nuke AI off the frontpage of HN a while ago.

It's been great, much more like HN used to be.

    I set this up: https://hn-ai.org/

    The problem now is that so many articles with innocent titles are really about AI slop. The title might be “A Space Exploration Game” and the content is about some vibe-coded garbage.

In my current favorite alternative HN frontend https://hcker.news, you can filter (include and/or exclude) posts by words found in the titles. There's _a lot_ of other customization options as well.
