HN when big tech releases some uninspired new feature: "Amazing, life changing!" HN when an individual makes something and sells it: "Here's why it's shit and I actually hate it" It's even more ridiculous

They are definitely "nice enough" to sell on Tindie given the purpose of the platform.

It's hard to believe this is an actual opinion a human holds and it wreaks of someone who has never gone through particularly hard times. Redefine their life? Good luck doing that when you suddenly don't have an income because you

Trying to make sense of the logic of an alcoholic is pointless, so I don't recommend it. I will never FIRE, because I'm afraid of the future. I also don't make nearly as much money as other people in this industry. I only man

I'm not going to lie to anyone, but as someone with a paid off house in an ultra low COL location and a desire to give up? If we ever get a UBI I going going to say fuck work and live off it. I don't need almost any money to survi

Some crimes deserve no less. I can somewhat buy arguments about not trusting the government, but I can't buy arguments that capital punishment is actually bad.

The archives have to follow the laws and this isn't a case of the IA simply making a mistake, it was them intentionally crossing the line and assuming they'd get away with it. I don't want the IA lost, but they are the ones r

What are you gonna do, order them a pizza? Or are you suggesting people try to ruin their lives? The lawyers and their families have done nothing illegal, unlike the IA who very well might have after being blinded by ideology. If the IA bro

Because not all countries are the same. In Canada owning a home is the historical norm and until a few years ago someone making the median income could have afforded one in most places. Very few Canadians actually want to live in an apartme

IANAL is just "wacky" and "sexual" reddit tier humour, nothing more. It's boring any annoying.

I live in Canada and make a few thousand more than the median income in my current city. It's certainly not 2x as much less 5x what others are making here. I'f I wanted to buy a house here I'd have to make a minimum of 3x my

I understand film because I love the entire process, especially time spent in the dark room. It's fundamentally different to modern digital photography. I don't understand this, it's the same thing as a phone, but worse in ev

I've love to see the list for curiosities sake, but I imagine a solid 90% of it is either porn, or scam sites. HN has good moderation unlike a lot of communities, Reddit included. The community has changed over the years, but it's

What do you mean still? They’re only a few years old at this point. It shouldn’t be impressive that a basically new computer still does everything that one would want to do.

I think Gemini could have been fun for vintage and low powered systems, but then they slapped a mandatory TLS requirement on top of it. That's the entire reason I have no interest in Gemini. It doesn't provide anything that HTTP
