This is absurd. You quite clearly don’t experience “blue bubble” envy yourself, because you’ve so obviously corrupted the sentiment, and argument. Nobody is saying “gosh, macOS is so damned unstable, but I’ve gotta use it, because…blue bubb

This is a ret-con. If you - as a user - were philosophically and inherently against the App Store, then it may seem that way, I guess? The reality is that there was a long period of time where Apple built up lots of goodwill with a develope

Okay, if you are so confident in your convictions, convince enough Apple shareholders of this.

Bluey is unusually good even for the ABC, but the floor on children’s programming is just so much lower in the US. Sure, America’s obsession with Bluey stems in part from its on-again off-again fetishisation of Australia. But, Christ, I’m A

No. We don’t need to make conversations so boring as to allow you and your robotic ink to completely unambiguously understand them. For every one person that didn’t get this obvious Bluey reference deep in a Bluey thread, I’m sure that 100

This isn’t even true with other common ‘digital’ cables. Not all ‘Ethernet’ cables are the same. Someone will give you 100mbit. Some will give you a gigabit. Some will give you even more. They’ve all got RJ45 on them. “All HDMI cables are t

> Once I patiently explained that a cable shouldn't matter for digital as long as the bits got there . Emphasis mine. As someone that sold AV equipment, including cables, in the late ‘00s / early ‘10s, nerds that misundersto

Social posturing is important to everyone. You probably just socially posture differently.

As another commenter said: how? show your working? You are at the very least letting this hypothetical scenario (that another random HN commenter posed) feed into your “damn Apple!” feedback loop. Blue bubbles says nothing about privacy. It

I would at the very least be hesitant to provide such a service, and I’ve gotta imagine that I’m far from alone :)

If this were “the solution”, then the many, many smart individuals and teams tasked with solving these problems throughout the software industry would’ve been out of work for some time now. It’s obviously more complicated than that. Signed

Sorry, but, what the hell? This is Hacker News at its finest: completely talking out of its ass. This isn’t how bus routes work, and this isn’t how people ride busses, on most if not all of the…many PT systems I’ve used in multiple states &

This is a weird multi-paragraph evangelical lecture seeing as any EV owner that’s driven in a hilly climate will tell you that this isn’t how things work. Regen isn’t 100% efficient, for starters.

by bolognafairy 2y ago
Do you know which conversation you’re replying to? The original point was: hills do not matter, because what goes up must come down, and regen will get all the energy back. This is categorically untrue, at the very least because regen doesn

Okay. Maybe discuss this with whoever develops your password manager. The tone of your reply has me thinking that you’re using an open-source password manager. Maybe they’ll accept a PR from you? Passkeys are supported by my password manage

No. Can we please not look for places to call enshitification with such desperation that the word looses all meaning?

In true Hacker News nerd style, an utterly meaningless, inconsequential, made-up squabbling over terminology.

Take a look at the earlier concepts / renderings for Shrek! Before the studio gutted the team(?) and told everyone to pull their heads in. Absolutely off-putting.

The comments here are hilarious. So many people getting on their soapbox about someone forgetting to pay a bill. Something that has undoubtedly happened at your organisation, and happens at most, given enough time. This website fucking suck

This is the difference between “rip” and “DL”. You can certainly pull content from Netflix without re-encoding.

If you let the perfect be the enemy of the good like this then I can’t imagine that you ever have or ever will be in charge of, well, anything.

What’s your actual point, dude? > Plenty of places mask violating peoples' privacy as "analytics data" to drive decisions about how to manipulate those and other people. Are you talking about a different group of places? O

No. We are talking about legality. Quote the whole bloody thing. If you don’t get to say “I picked out the bit I like” in court, then you don’t get to do it here. If you’re so right, then it’s not worth taking out in the first place.
