This hit me really hard, because it's true. This is literally me last 7 years.

Even the beloved Western pet Navalny thinks banning Trump is wrong. I wonder if the American media will respond or just ignore it as usual.

There isn't anything wrong. There is a lot of toxicity on HN and users with the ability of downvoting will more often than not abuse it to support their personal agendas.

Every single news "article" has been designed that way since Mar 2020 and yet a surprising amount of people with questionable intellectual capacity have endorsed the news, including the self-proclaimed intellectual elite of HN. Su

Because the law is always above an agreement. You can't put into a contract "if we kill you, we don't go to prison". I don't know how what the law is in the consumer rights area, but surely there is a degree of regu

Same here, also SEE. Upon renewal of the lease, I noticed they put in the contract a clause that says you are not allowed to leave negative reviews online (I guess a lot of people left negative reviews due to poor service). How can that eve

What is the definition of journalism? "Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on current events based on facts and supported with proof or evidence." This might be an unpopular opinion, but I am convinced that jo

Relevant ads are obviously better than irrelevant ads. But that's not the point here. What this is about is that the advertisers collect your habits and build a profile based on your behaviour which can be sold to further third parties

It's not clear how are they "blocking" Protonmail (@sender, MX lookups...), but if they are then that's a very lazy (read: incompetent) workaround and I suggest you try shopping at a competitor who perhaps use a proper

Exactly. I wish I could downvote this. Not only are the numbers completely subjective, they are also not correct for some countries in the spreadsheet and they don't indicate living costs at all. Lower salary in a country where you don

As a content consumer I see this as a positive thing for me. A few months ago when YouTube decided to auto-add ads on all videos, my watch time on YouTube decreased by more than 50% since I consume all video content on either my phone or my

Poor countries have always been a testing ground for vaccine, since their lives are considered to be less worth than ours and their countries hardly have any regulations in place, let alone institutions to enforce those regulations. If ther

Am I the only one not seeing the argument in the blog post? All I read was "LinkedIn is bad and being on it does more harm than good" without anything to support the premise. I've been on LinkedIn for years and it did nothing

Doxing is the modern day equivalent of street lynching or witch hunting. The only way to stop it is to hold people accountable; so in this case the person who started Tweeting about it. 20y in prison should do it.

Why does this come as a surprise to anyone? It's not like racist people live in trailers deep in the South, all together on one big plot of land, possibly missing front teeth so it makes it easy to spot them. Racists are all around us

I used it before and I still have an account on Minds and Gab as I don't have any other social networking profiles. The problem with those two is that they're a sanctuary for racists (Gab more than Minds), even though I didn'

United States is a police state. I said it 20 years ago, people laughed. Now you see if for yourself. American police have positioned themselves as the enemy of the people because they see people as their enemy. And the only way to stop the

I never worked for FAANG, but I have been bothered by their recruiters for years and I politely reject them every time. To be fair, not just FAANG, other household name BigCorp too. Reason being is I used to work for a small company and had

England stole Las Malvinas in 1982 from Argentina and nobody gave a damn. Funny how things work when it's "you" and not "them".

Think about this for a moment. There are people out there who are willing to give out their full name, home address and their phone number just so they can buy a brand name sandwich. If we are willing to trade our freedoms for convenience,
