To me, yes. I avoid Electron like the plague. I know others feel the same way, so think of it as community service. Javascript-on-desktop arguments are probably already taking up gigabytes of space in the HN database, so I'll just say

I haven't heard of him committing any wrong-think, but we'll have to consult the blue-checks on Twitter to make sure.

This is the case for my mother. Facebook has her thoroughly filter bubbled, and it's sad and worrying. I don't know how to wean her off the Facebook brain-rot. Her ipad is Facebook, and Facebook is the internet. She recently told

This service already exists, and has predictably also gone bankrupt. LootCrate™ will ship you a selection of plastic garbage monthly! Very cool!

CUT TO: Stallman standing on a rooftop, brooding. His hands at his hips. His cape flutters in the chilly evening wind. "In your darkest hour, when the demons come, call on me brother, and we will fight them together!"

This is such a garbage fire. Louis Rossman also made a video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYzK8Nny_Yo The tl;dw is that Yelp refuses to take down _obiovusly_ fake reviews, so of course this racism branding is g

They should stop calling themselves an archive, when they're censoring the content. That's not what archiving means. Someone should do this properly. Like the ArchiveTeam guys.

No, and neither does Nvidia. "Geforce Experience" is not the driver. It's just bloatware nobody needs.

I think that crap is only included if you install "Geforce Experience". Nvidia parted off their garbage into an optional component, while AMD forces you to install it. For anyone using Nvidia on Windows, here's a useful tool

You forgot: -- keep reminding users that Google is literally an advertising company, that makes billions of dollars spying on everyone to sell hyper targeted ads. Chrome is essentially spyware.

This reminds me of my favorite Richard Feynman quote: “Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness o
