When, 2001? By the time Chrome came out it had been clear that was not true for awhile.

Just to be clear, this is nonsense. Every dishwasher made for the past few decades at least will use less water than washing by hand.

This is the opposite of true. There’s a reason we have the phrase “put your money where your mouth is”.

Google has been burning compute for the past 25 years to shove ads at people. We all lost there, too, but he apparently didn’t mind that.

This is ridiculous of course. Read Bret Deveraux’s recent series about peasant life.

Why would nvidia not making gaming cards make you “give up gaming”?

I got an.. AMD (even today I still almost say “ATI” every time) RX6600 XT I think, a couple years ago? It’s been great. I switched over to Linux back in the spring and yes the compatibility has been fine and caused no issues. Still amazed I

The Flash revisionism I see around here occasionally is bizarre. No, Flash was terrible and killing it was good.

Those census definitions are not good. I’m sure the place I went to high school is considered “city” by that definition, but the average HN poster would not recognize it as one, and there were lots of farm working trucks around.

wha-wha-wha-wha-what do you want (Yes, that was from Beyond the Dark Portal. Could play it in the game with a "cheat" code or it was at the end of the Redbook audio tracks if you put it in a music CD player.)

Very distinct memory of getting this for Christmas, then installing and playing the first time that afternoon.

Use the FB Purity extension in your browser. https://www.fbpurity.com It’s a little janky, presumably Meta has a few developers constantly working to hinder it. But still can mostly get rid of that kind of crap.

Seriously. I guess I wouldn’t describe it as a “cut throat” thing, but absolutely nobody in 20 years of working has ever given a shit. The idea of being “mentored” is ridiculous. It doesn’t happen.

There are many reasons why SV and its culture are terrible and have been a negative force on the world over the past few decades. None of those reasons are related to Marxist bullshit. Grow up.

You saw a Usenet post on Nov 12? 2025?

Nah that’s going too far. 90s shareware was sold exactly that way — free trial and pay if you want more — and there were plenty of great creative games in that category.

This was a whole thing in the 70s. There was a 3 step plan: 1) Bring back the $2 bill (it had not been printed for a decade+) 2) Redesign the $1 coin (Eisenhowers being too big and heavy) 3) Stop printing $1 bills Unfortunately they never g

Brave is just a rebranded Chrome. By using it you’re still endorsing Google’s control of the web.

But shitting on the US gets you lots of Internet upvotes, and isn’t that the important thing?
