Imagine thinking "the movie wasn't just a collection of pre-packaged memes to share on twitter like all other major movies nowadays" is a good criticism.

Unpredictability is not a universal virtue in storytelling. You pretend you are above spectacle, but your enjoyment is so dependent on the spectacle of clever twists and subversion of expectations that you can no longer appreciate the value

Right? Another blockbuster movie openly advocating for eco-terrorism against the American government? Yawn. When will they finally think of something new?

Yes they are blue and in space. You sound like a very shallow person. It's a story about spirituality and nature and community and family that explicitly advocates for eco-terrorism against the American government. But none of that mat

It's actually an amazing movie about blue cats.

I don't understand this criticism. The story was amazing.

Having your unit system in the same base as your number system infinitely outweighs any advantages derived from the having a higher number of factors or whatever. If you want to switch out number system, and then change the unit system alon

I was aware of this problem because I follow Rami Ismail for his game development and this site reminded me of him. Then I get to the bottom and it turns out it was made by him. Glad to see he is still fighting the good fight.

This is actually a problem plaguing old ports of Japanese video games, sometimes even to this day. The reason for this is that Japan uses a mixture of symbols that represent entire syllables (hiragana, katakana) and symbols that represent e

The damage has been done. Maybe it's salvageable but I think the perception of the twitter checkmark by the general public has diminished a lot very quickly. Specially by people who pay less close attention to it, and don't necess

When I heard you could pay for the twitter checkmark, I naively assumed they would use that money to actually verify the identity of the people they gave the checkmark to and twitter was being positioned as an authority on identity verifica

We just have to get used to this being an eternal political fight. There will always be politicians with a desire for control and/or a lack of technical understanding that will try to take control of people's communication in this

I don't think limiting and gate-keeping are good for cultural progress. The way to deal with the amount of content is building better systems (not necessarily technological in nature) for curation. Building artificial barriers to what

My comment is not an expression of a low valuation of creative intent. It is an expression of my deep concern for creative intent due to the limits placed upon it by a rigid system of ownership.

There is no collective or democratic management, unless the tyrannical overlords choose to allow it. "Total private tyranny, with delegation of authority" is correct. What it leaves out is that anybody else can make a competing su

You say that as a joke, but I actually think it's a very relevant point. People keep pointing to mistakes the AI makes in order to make an argument that there will always be a place for people doing that kind of work. The website in th

To be honest, I have been forced to choose a side during all those debates about copyright and advertising/adblocking. And it was artists who forced me to make that choice. It's hard not to see this as just another way in which ar

I don't know the official reason, but this seems very obvious to me. Because there frequently are paywalled articles that are of value to the HN audience.

That sounds like it would get rid of a significant portion of what makes federation worthwhile. I see this request a lot, so I'm sure it has merit to a decent amount of people, but I can't help but feel like the people requesting

What are you talking about? You don't need to host your own Mastodon server. You can sign up with one of the many open instances, just like gmail and hotmail let you do for e-mail.

Yes that type of person exists but they are not the ones looking for a twitter alternative because of Elon Musk right now. There are shades of gray between the people who understand the technical definition of federation, and people who, as

People don't understand how e-mail works because the UX is so good. They understand it because it is ubiquitous and they are used to it. They don't expect anything else to work like that, because nothing else on the internet they
