Thanks for linking this! I've never heard of Gemini before now, and it definitely appeals to a lot of what I want in on the internet.

I appreciate the advice at the bottom, but I'd love to hear more about what other people suggest for finding content that isn't algorithm based. Relatively niche but traditional bulletin board forums are good. Recent posts to the

The minimum wage is often not a fair wage. If tipped employees are just earning that standard minimum wage and nobody tips them, then they just get the minimum wage. I can see situations where they'd be pretty mad -- there are a lot of

Is it a state where the minimum wage is no different? Or that they require traditionally tipped wages to actually be paid fairly?

I'm concerned that you're not familiar with EDR and organizations who flat out can't build a full 24/7 SOC. Which is the vast majority of businesses. EDR is a rootkit based on the idea that malware hashes are useless, an

That's not okay. If reef safe sunscreen isn't sufficient for what you need, then you should find a different way to protect yourself than one that damages reefs.

I have a 300 mile range EV, and some of my friends also downplay charging on road trips. It seems to be a common narrative. I find it patently false. When I drove long distances in an gas car, I didn't take breaks to stretch my legs. I

As a first and very pessimistic guess, the pages getting DoSed are maintained by people or groups with pretty minimal resources. That means time or money available for lawyers isn't there, and the monetary impact per website is small e

I really appreciate you giving a shit. Not sarcastically -- it seems like you're actually doing everything right, and it makes a difference. Gating robots.txt might be a mistake, but it also might be a quick way to deal with crawlers w

I've heard this point raised elsewhere, and I think it's underplaying the magnitude of the issue. Background scanner noise on the internet is incredibly common, but the AI scraping is not at the same level. Wikipedia has published

I'm largely in line with where a lot of the comments under these political posts are coming from, but there's no discussion in them. It's rhetoric, outrage, and oversimplifying things. The comments on HN are worth reading pre

I'd be super happy if the local government managed the infrastructure and shared spaces of our neighborhood. But they can't raise the taxes to do so, so HOAs end up being the smaller government that people say they want but, in pr

Every HOA I've lived in had an elected board. And everyone I've ever heard complain about HOAs has never tried to serve on the board. They're not universally volunteer orgs, but a _lot_ of them are -- which means that if you

I grew up with this belief (not your belief; it's a common one) and it hindered me from realizing I needed help. I regularly have people doubt my diagnosis to this day. If we talk about it more, a lot of them _continue_ to doubt me eve

Respectfully, my experience is very different than yours -- and I'm somewhere in between you and people who have it really bad. ADHD can absolutely be a handicap. It might be that it's exacerbated by modern life's demands, bu

There are quite a few businesses that made a lot of money selling net harmful goods. Tobacco and Oxycontin come to mind. But even selling things that help people doesn’t absolve or prevent someone from doing evil things before or after they

I agree with your disgust with our healthcare, but I downvoted you because your comment is more of a gotcha than fostering conversation.

I give a shit, want a paycheck, _and_ want a life outside of work. It's completely possible to want fair hours while also caring. And, like many commenters, I'm frustrated with employers that want more than a third of my waking ex

That, at best, is dehumanizing the employer. There is no corporate structure that exists without humans making the decisions at some point in the chain. The decisions might be abstracted or broken into small chunks, but it's still huma

Why would they do that instead of the status quo, which is a gift for their lawyers to open later? I don't associate Oracle and good will, and I don't think they care.
