It's just Arch Linux with hyprland pre-configured and bunch of pre-installed software. People have been flocking to it for reasons like 1. They don't want to configure hyprland themselves. 2. They want to say they are running an &

Are you a fan of the FBI director’s Trump worshiping children’s book?

Leo Laporte's TWiT podcast network is the only thing that comes somewhat close but it still falls well short of CC or TechTV. YouTube has a few quality channels but they tend to fit into a particular niche. The bigger names are just lo

Can I ask you something since you love to brag about being a VC? Do you guys have any morals? Seriously. Because from some one that was raised to believe that lying is wrong and that liars (which Elon blatantly is) are not to be respected,

> Comments here are very strange, “Reading books should go the way of cursive! Education is more like childcare anyways.” That's pretty on-brand for HN though. This place enforces a very peculiar version of anti-intellectualism cent

HN has a downvote brigade that tries to bury anything that makes Palantir look bad. If I had to guess, random people with investments that think censoring things on social media will keep the stock price up. I used to notice it a lot with T
