I've been using it for well over 10 years now. Sometimes I want to spend money on things that I think are morally right, but the credit card companies/paypal won't let me buy. You can search for lists. I'm doing things t

Yeah, that sounds cool and all, but somehow I ended up with a job that pays over $100K a year, that makes me work for about 3 hours a week from home and has been paying me for years to do that. And I'm pretty sure my manager knows that

Check the front page of downdetector, there's a lot more that's down I think including origin, it all spikes up at the same time. Either an backbone issues, AWS or something like that.

Just odd. Why would you change a definition in the middle of an existing chart... Just call it M1a or M11 and add a new chart. Curious what is really going on that I'm not supposed to understand.

Ugly. So it's just a "protection fee" in a sense. Wouldn't surprise me if that's true. You just won't find it written down anywhere.

It took me about 10 years to really understand the enormous differences between my native culture and my current culture. And those differences are staggering. And they are both western. You're assuming you can "see" the cu

Kind of makes sense. People probably didn't all of a sudden become more dishonest. Thanks.

Comes down to your definition of advertisement. It's not without self interest. But that was kind of my point. So I'd say you and I are on the same page, I just used a different way to describe it and if that wasn't clear, th

"Approaches free" does not mean "free" in this context and that HN derives that value in other ways than advertisement was the point I was making.

Just so you know... Here you can't say that slang word for cigarette either. Because that comment where you said it to me is "dead" and doesn't allow me to reply to you. If that's not ironic, don't know what is

Computation, bandwidth and (open source) software is so cheap these days that it approaches free for many people (but not all). It's just a matter of coming up with a functioning model. Ad supported is just one such model and it's

I don't really need to find myself, you know. I know where I am. The problem is more that others can't find me and don't even know that I'm missing. Maybe you're right about the reason, but even that's irreleva

Oh yeah. Accounts have NSFW tags these days. Also impacts chat functionality. You'll get warnings there. They call it "profile" but your profile is 100% of your account activity. https://www.reddit.com/r/

I'm being censored on Reddit myself. I'm not really sure why exactly. I suspect it has to do with having a NSFW tag on my account (that I didn't put there) that I'm afraid to turn off, because of the warning that's

It's just a never ending disaster once you go down that path. Because now people have to "select" their community somehow. If that existed, I'd refuse to be part of whatever community you think I belong to and I'm g

I'd love to say "I would never install windows 11!" But microsoft already decided that for me. I don't have any TPM chips. And I'm definitely not going to upgrade hardware for an OS upgrade that doesn't really

Wouldn't surprise me if you reboot your computer one day and surprise! It's windows 11 now! Remember, they did the same thing with Windows 10 a couple of times.

PowerShell is easy to debug though. So I never have a problem with that. I generally program in it without ever looking at any documentation. I just don't need it. Just get-help -full/get-member everything or export-clixml it. B

You can just deploy your own solution. And that one can be selective, which is probably preferable anyway. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ce/get-cost...

Most humans suck at sorting out the cognitive dissonance between "I am a good guy" and "I let auntie Vanessa die". Doesn't mean your approach isn't right. A lot of people just can't do that properly and it
