github.blog loads third-party content from Google and Wordpress. GitHub proper also has first-party analytics scripts, which disregards Do-Not-Track and shouldn't be there at all.

There's a huge difference between an entire metropolitan mega-city like the US East Coast projecting billions of watts of light into the sky, and a thousand sattelites in the vastness of LEO which occasionally passing overhead for a fe

Nat's right: this IS a no brainer. SourceHut hasn't had any non-essential cookies since day one. If you're reading this, Nat - how about removing third-party resources entirely from your pages next?

The astronomy problems presented by StarLink are really overblown. It is of especially little relevance to the average person gazing up at the sky, who generally finds the parade of satellites pretty cool.

Having been to an actual dark site before, I can assure you that anything you experienced in a blue area is entirely unlike the experience of being at a genuinely dark location. Crime isn't going to ruin everything if we turn off the l

The law isn't a script. Exploiting loopholes can either result in a judge intepreting the law as designed and handing down a fine regardless, or we can work to refine the law in further legislation. Just because it's difficult and

Strong agree. Advertising should be outlawed entirely. Or rather, corporate propaganda should be outlawed. Psychologically manipulating people for profit is horrible, I cannot comprehend how it's become normalized. This is our brains o

More than half of Americans have less than $5,000 in savings. HN is a place where most of the participants are wealthy, and your worldview is skewed by that. An unexpected $16,000 cost would totally blindside most families, and they shoul

Similar to McMaster.com is RockAuto.com: https://www.rockauto.com I would also shoutout to Mouser for a powerful interface for narrowing down what you want to buy, but its performance does leave something to be desired.

The upgrade pace of Alpine is quite reasonable, especially considering that breakage is extremely rare. Expecting to set up a box and not touch it for 10 years is... not reasonable. If that's what you wanted from CentOS, then you have
