I'm okay with this. Before, I was definitely using DDG less. It's good to see Microsoft still keeping up the good fight. "Dont be evil" seems like a distant alternative universe...

As per theverge article, they did nothing when anti-semitic memes and jokes were being posted by their employees. So what can we take away from this? Github's "professional conduct at workplace" and "diversity" is c

see my profile. all flagged. definitely not deliberate at all as my comments weren't even inflammatory or breaking HN rules. Just some old timer users afraid that not everybody is buying into his/her/their narrative.

Divide & conquer. This is the war that is being waged on America; your minds . Who has the most intimate and proximity in determining what the collective sees? The device in your pocket is how people view the world. Nobody is reading b

It doesnt help that they constantly shut down criticism of it which only emboldens those who live in this new borderline thought police order as the norm. The side effect of this is that it aggravates hostility towards those very groups tha

I love that bitcoin maximalists have now become the ire of the global warming movement. Quite fitting as it literally is the ponzi scheme of our generation helping criminals launder their money. History will not be kind to those who pushed

From their photos, this looks mighty impressive! https://goodereader.com/blog/uploads/images/2021/01/1-75sD-q... Still not as good as printed ink but this is good enough for many applications.

My theory is the instagram effect. People actually believe what they see is real and so the people living in those instagram photos believe i the "fake it till you make it" toxicity.

Yes primarily to build a mobile app but I want to be able to have a web version as well. I guess I want to understand what the overall experience has been using Flutter with Amplify as that seems to be the winning combo, although I am open

damn thats really all I wanted. Just a really easy way to receive, send email from an temporary address that isn't from a free website.

You pretty much described Vancouver, BC. One of the lowest average salary in North America, expensive housing, and normalized exploitation of labor. Fake positivity is just the cultural fact of life here and I think it hurts productivity. W

What makes me go crazy right now is that I can't access my AWS account because the OTP will no longer work. I tried resyncing but to no avail. I am at a loss as to how this could've happened. I used Google Authenticator and simply

Still there is this weird cognitive dissonance amongst software engineers in non-FANG companies that union is somehow bad and that preventing people working over the weekend for free is detrimental to the industry.

can you explain more about the alias feature? what makes it special? Because I think this could be a killer feature as I have that exact same problem when signing up to websites

I love this collective blitzkrieg against Whatsapp & Facebook. 90s called and we want our internet back. Now I hope that we will see a revival of the simplicity of the 90s, where the power is handed back to the people, where you could w

Facebook-owned WhatsApp said they would work to "clear up misinformation" around its privacy policy. Censorship and ban hammer has now become "clearing up misinformation". Facebook and others have become the Mi

I'm sold. If I pay $3/month can I migrate all of my dozen Google accounts? I have an email for each product in my portfolio and switching back and forth. I would gladly pay a subscription fee if it means Google isn't reading

I've been a long time fan of Android but I still cannot be forced to swap it for the Apple ecosystem which really is no better than Android. What I would like is a hardened, privacy focused distro of Android that is guaranteed to be in

Honestly I've stopped using Chrome and always use DDG, and Firefox is my default web browser now. I've ditched Chrome for good as Firefox is just as good and I feel less creeped out. I think the era of "free stuff for your da

This is a good sign. Thanks to Zuckerberg's mistake, Signal reaps all the rewards. What can we learn from this? Just because you own a platform doesn't mean you have an economic moat. The crowd's sentiment can change overnigh
