I love Gopher, it's a nice, extremely light protocol with none of the added BS I hate about the web. The only people who use it these days are a particular type of person, the type that I generally enjoy reading the thoughts and work o

Tiny homes didn’t start out expensive. I remember years ago when it was just something eccentric people did to get away from society which they talked about on very obscure forums. Those tiny homes were not luxurious, they were spartan and

Personally? Because I don't think the stress is worth it. I've been in this situation and find it unbearable.

Exactly. The moment upper management utters the word 'layoff' in any context, or tries to reassure workers it's time to GTFO immediately.

I'm super hesitant to take any position at all on this given who the author is and the issues surrounding him, so I will comment more generally. The internet is becoming smaller (I don't mean in physical size), more centralized, c

I would rather death than life in prison, much less life with years of solitary mixed in. I don't understand how the inmates deal with it, or why many prefer to live such an awful existence compared to a quick end. Life in prison, espe

I'm certainly at a point where I no longer think things will get better and well I'm skeptical of the entire psychiatry industry, even the slightest chance is worth taking at this point. Thanks for the well wishes, I really hope i

I’m in this exact same boat right now, word for word, other than I haven’t had the assessment yet (very soon though). I’m quite literally desperate for any answers at this point, my teen years and 20s were on the whole, an absurd nightmare.

I really think this phenomenon is due to just how hard a diagnosis is to get in many countries. Here in Canada you need a referral from a doctor (hard to get on its own), then you have to wait many months to years to see someone. Alternativ

A website chooses to show ads, but I have not agreed to view them. HTTP does not force me to make requests, the law doesn’t force my computer to make requests, and not making requests is not immoral. There is no agreement my computer will r

I have lived in a place where many of those examples of public ads were actually banned by the government. It was something I took for granted until I visited other places at which point I realized how good we had it. The majority ads are g

It was always possible to have a private unlisted number, though it typically cost a buck or two extra a month. My family and myself always chose that option, we didn’t want random people calling us.

800$ in Canada, at that price point it’s impossible to justify buying it instead of an M1 Mac Mini for 100$ more as a general use machine, especially given the sorry state of Windows-ARM. Given it’s a dev kit companies won’t care about cost

I’m not speaking for myself on this one, but don’t most people profess to hate their jobs? I’ve met very few who love working.

It often does though, which is why having the right people in high positions is important. The CEO is the face of the company and for better or worse the company will be judged by their actions to some degree.

I mean you can do as you want, but I find the extra clutter and visual noise of these banners infuriating. Block them or don’t block them, it should be up to the user.

There are, I use one that does this for FF. Fewer choices maybe, but I don’t want to be inundated with these kinds of popups on every site. If the site can function with fewer cookies it should simply do so by default.

My mother suffers from this, and has for over a year now. It’s had serious effects on her mental health, self image, and in some cases daily functioning. In her case it has improved, but it has not resolved itself and probably never fully w

I’ve written a tagging system from scratch for an existing system and it was one of the most interesting things I’ve worked out. I had total control over how it was implemented and I think I came up with a really nice, minimalist, scalabl

Hi HN, This is a very quickly thrown together project I started yesterday. It's a simple Gopher server that provides very basic, plain text access to Google News. It's designed to be an even lighter weight version of 68k.news and

It’s definitely true, though I’m glad you’ve not had to whiteness such fates. I’ve seen it first hand with family members and it’s traumatic for all involved.

I’m really not sure honestly. I think there is something to be said about having the real thing, but I’m not really convinced in the physical hardware over emulation debate. I get the same enjoyment in emulated SNES games as I did as a chil
