   Here's hoping Canada follows. I know many provinces were waiting for their southern states to make the switch to stay in sync (BC -> California, Quebec -> New York, etc). So hopefully Canada switches at same time as us!

   I guess if you're a very casual podcast listener, and with the lack of proper migration path it can be confusing, but a dedicated Podcast app makes a lot more sense than the half-assed "podcast is music" integration that GPM

   I may be wrong, but I think Youtube Premium should still be available in countries without YTM, but at half the price since you don't get the music half.

   I'm curious what features did GPM have that YTM doesn't have?

   Same with the Discord music bots, all of them streamed audio from Youtube, but also had paid subscriptions for extra features.

   Other than the Voxel graphics, games like Cubeword and this have little in common with Minecraft. Minecraft from the start focused more on mining and building than movement and combat. Of course there's mod, and they later added enchan

    Common pet peeve with this site: Most people trying to share a scary screenshot will choose the largest one (Tsar Bomba 100t), of which 1 operation one was ever created, and that one has already been detonated. It's also not at all a p

    While I do know about those and they are indeed much more pythonic and cleaner, I often end up just using `lambda x: x[1]` instead of `import operator; operator.itemgetter(1)`. For sort, I'll also often do `sorted(mydict, key=mydict.ge

    I did want and get slash-commands through a plugin called discord-py-slash-commands. It was fairly painless and just built on top of my existing bot.

    I haven't look at the community at all, but I've used discord.py to make a few bots with no issues whatsoever. It was a fairly clean, complete and easy to use framework. Though my bots weren't very advanced, discord.py did ev

    Again, I see sites like reddit and Youtube as megaphones. Not being on them doesn't stop your freedom to speech. Information was is also asymmetric, it takes a fraction the effort and time to spread lies and propaganda, than it takes t

    Being blocked from sharing Russian-owned content is absolutely nothing like being cut off from the internet or information. At best it's limiting the spread of Russian-owned content. I'm not sure why HN comments are so quick to ma

    And that's perfectly fine. If anything, that's proof that there is no censorship, the fact that they can go and make their own platform. Also, the fact that you're not allowed to say anything bad about Trump on those platform

    Every single day on HN, people mix up giving someone a platform to censoring someone. Social platforms are megaphones. Up until a decade ago, it was impossible for nearly everyone to reach out a large audience, especially worldwide. Nowaday
