A few months ago, I stopped reading random news and decided to stick only to Hacker News. But now, even Hacker News is filled with random content.
I guess there's no escaping the news these days.
- huevosabio 1y agoI logged odd Twitter and can only access it through an eink device. I am much saner now. I really enjoy reading the community here chime in on current events, but I also lament that I can't shield my online consumption from the news.
- bdangubic 1y agoHN is the easiest place to skip the content you are not interest in
- huevosabio 1y agoOf course, but the problem is not that I am not interested, it's the contrary I am instinctively attracted to it! If it was lack of interest I wouldn't need to place so much friction between me and Twitter.
- Apocryphon 1y agoTalking about armed brinksmanship between two nuclear powers is sooooo random, maybe a more specialized community like they have on Reddit is more your speed?
- su8898 1y agoThanks for the judgment, but I think you might have missed the point I was making.
- ThrowawayTestr 1y agoWhat point are you trying to make? HN has always had threads about major events and two nuclear powers fighting is a major event.
- Apocryphon 1y agoIf you can’t take the news, get out of the aggregator.
- xkcd1963 1y agohackernews is very biased
- bravetraveler 1y agoIt'll show up on your doorstep before too long, keep it up.
