Concerning, maybe. Definitely not surprising. One’s technical ability to do something has, if anything, a negative correlation with their ability to value and manage their own time. The author’s justification is absolutely ridiculous, hands

Thank you Hacker News commenter for lecturing someone on Human Resources policy. The ultimate scope creep from someone explaining why this feature might have an iota of value. The SECOND a tool that you use add a feature that you want beca

Are you genuinely not reading the comments that you’re replying to? OP did mot solicit or show that there would be any value in people listing ways that one could circumvent this with preparation. We all know. You aren’t adding anything to

I don’t do “video, audio, and normal web browsing” for a living, and I don’t find macOS unbearable. For the love of God, please show an iota of acknowledgment that this could just be a matter of personal taste, instead of immediately resort

You’re not being clever like you think you are. “They could simply build something else” is … something that truly everybody knows. That’s not the point.

Yep. Fuck laws. The fact that there are potential negative consequences means that we should throw them all out!

That doesn’t mean that it’s “probably not the intention”.

Yep. This is what the vast majority of “maybe later”s are about. I’ve seen decisions being made based on this fact, and I’ve seen users worried about an irreversible fork in the road. There are of course cases where “maybe later” does legit

What part of how this is being conveyed do you disagree with? Specifically. This isn’t a language war.

This is something you could easily see for yourself, so this is certainly a rhetorical question. To which I’ll respond: the world doesn’t owe it to you to make all software usable on your operating system of choice. There’s no freedom in th

They are training using licensed images! That’s the thing! There’s some sort of ridiculous brainworm infecting certain online groups that has them believing that stealing content is inherent in using generative AI. I watch this all quite cl

A strawman argument so you can condescendingly and snarkily lecture someone? I can see you were among those mouthing off at Adobe on Bluesky.

Just because you don’t genuine value in an iPhone over a “cheaper Chinese” (presumably Android) phone, it doesn’t mean that those that do are “status-conscious” or whatever other thinly veiled negative value judgement / insult you’re g

This is hilarious back-solving to somehow justify the general public’s supposed need / desire for an INCREDIBLY nerdy product that you yourself certainly happen to have wanted for some time now, and certainly at least in large part for

Literally nothing involving human behaviour is entirely logical. Coincidentally, as a hiring manager, hearing people describe “illogical” human behaviour with any sort of surprise is an inexperience indicator for me.
