   They did this in Australia. It all seemed like it was to prop up Murdoch owned media. The Australian Gov must have cut an acceptable deal with Google and Facebook though, as both threatened to do what FB has done in Canada. There are more d

   I'd put a lot of everybody into that category, to be fair to boomers. Age isn't a reasonable excuse at this point. Common access to the Internet has been with us for ~30 years.

   It's not 'no reason' :-) They are being scrutinised for a reason. And that reason is the in the very nature of the software. What it does, and what it wants access to on the system and so on.

   No, we need to fix the mechanisms that have allowed so much wealth to accrued by individuals. Companies need to be taxed correctly. They need to give back to the societies that built the social structures that allowed them to be created and

   Can someone explain the Revenue Generation part? They used some jargon in the intro and didn’t really understand how that worked! How the Revenue Sharing works wasn’t well explained :-)

   I've always thought, as a Developer, that somehow I'm missing out by not learning Emacs or VIM. Some of the Devs I've worked with move so fast in these tools it's mind boggling! I'm an old school Mac person... I mou

    Do systems like Mastodon break the promise of Social Networks? In practice Mastodon doesn't seem to support the ability to actually be social. I clicked a Mastodon link on my iPhone the other other day, it opened in Safari. I wanted to

    Yes, indeed. I think people conflate promiscuity risk with sexual act risk. PIV is lower risk as it is less likely that semen will come into contact with blood. Whereas anal sex has a risk of tearing the anal wall and thus blood coming into

    To be fair, the message to use condoms was the answer to the problem of transmission. It still is more of less. It wasn’t idiotic, it was all we had. Education about transmission vectors coupled with availability and normalisation of the us

    Especially true when working on an unknown code base. I frame up small projects that replicate the key parts of the software I need to interact with. So often you find yourself trying to integrate with outdated code vases full of unknown de

    I’ve never really thought about, but I’m in the first group for sure. I’m also someone that likes getting the most out of a basic set of tools or features. A less is more kinda person. Although I’m old skool Mac OS so I need some kind of GU

    This has been discussed before on HN! Many of us have PTSD from this movie and the Cold War! I watched it aged 12 with my cousins whilst staying at a relatives house. The adults were out. X-Gen 80s kids have legitimately recognised PTSD fro

    Yep, same here. Immediately saw a sanctimonious GaryVee thread and was instantly turned off. It’s all so cringe, as the kids say.

    That may be true, but I really don’t think I want to. It’s Instagram in words, and Instagram by and large is an awful, fake and vapid place. Threads might be decent software, but the content is horrible.
