I come to Hacker News to avoid garbage like this.
- devilduck 5y agoWell that's a mistake on your part since HN is rife with hubris and garbage.
- dangus 5y agoPeople are often surprised at how similar HN is to all other forms of social media. The only thing saving it is the quantity of people who don’t know about it. It is 100% always a waste of time and I’m literally wasting time right now when the other screen in front of me has the thing I should actually be doing.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoPeople become surprised when they see something different from the norm. If they are surprised, it tells you that the norm is different. And look at that, the comment in question is now dead. That’s the system working.
- devilduck 5y agoAsk someone else and they might call that censorship.
- developer93 5y agoI look at it as slightly more constructive procrastinating than can be achieved with other social media, in that I actually learn something a lot of the time, even if the things I learn don't immediately improve my life.
- emidln 5y agoThis reminds me of prime Slashdot commentary. My recall isn't good enough to have an intuition if this would have been negative or +5.
- phil_folrida 5y agoUnderstood though it was the reality of the 90's. did it changed? yes absolutely, but you were tagged as a Lunatic, to introduce Linux in corporate environment.
