HN vastly over estimates how many people use adblockers every time this comes up and it is getting tiring. Google will likely not see any noticeable reduction in user count from the upcoming addon changes. If you value your software freedom

When that cost includes possibly losing everything your worked for and your kids suffering it ceases to be so clear cut. If the society you live in won't look out for you in these situations, why should you look out for it? Take care o

I thought I would, but I'm no longer sold on full remote work having done it since 2018. I didn't realize just how much of my social interaction came from work and it's something I've not been able to recreate outside of

I don’t write because writing is tied to some very bad memories. I’m terrified of people reading what I write and humiliating me, it wouldn’t be the first time. Me innermost thoughts remain mine alone as a result.

I'm only worth something if I can earn and support others. That is what makes a man valuable, without that he's nothing and I am a barely fictional man to begin with. Without my job I'm just a burden on others.

At this point it's just safer to treat any content newer than about a year ago as highly suspect. Bots and fake content have been around for years, but things changed when ChatGPT and the copycats went live.
