I wasn’t even aware of that, but it does not at all surprise me, since it fits right in with the trajectory Reddit has long been on; from freedom of information, to full spectrum thought control and digital psychological reprogramming dunge

That seems reasonable, but they seem to be suffering their own problem with UI and UX design by not making that inherently clearer. I was getting a bit disappointed about Proton based on this evaluation even though the only problem I’ve had

Does anyone know if in the USA you could simply use small claims court on every individual device and service to get likely default judgements against Apple and then when they are unlikely to pay up, get a judgement against Apple and make a

The definition of “arbitrary” includes “upon personal whim”, i.e., the State Dept leadership, not coordinated across or with other depts, and “not in a systematic manner”. I get that people’s biases make accepting reality difficult, but thi

Is anyone going to explain what justifies the down votes or is this just Reddit tier mobbing now?

The only way to have privacy from the matrix is to not participate in the matrix. That’s in fact your best option. Does one have to consume the drug of movies/tv? I realize that just suggesting something coming in between the addict an

It seems the only thing that could break this is the off chance that the SCOTUS rules that the tariffs are illegal and/or Congress strips the Presidency of the power they gave it in utters incompetence many decades ago. I’m thinking wi

Started in 1998, apparently without a budget, which came 7 years later, and was completed within…mostly…budget, but not really since it was 7% over budget. Which also begs the question; why is a railway project page on HN at all, regardless

I have to say, it is a bit astonishing how much you are in a kind of bargaining stage of trying to rationalize how what is happening, is not actually happening, all while the trap doors are closing all around you even though very slowly. Wh

That's rather harsh. Exposing illegal, objectively treasonous activities by the government is not exactly not something positive, regardless of whether the regime has only gotten worse and more totalitarian and tightened its noose even

That is largely correct, even if not for that specific purpose/reason. Those people are largely self-discrediting, among other things.

Or maybe the government should have a common convention regarding official government communications, which Blinken added fragmentation to by arbitrarily changing the font away from Times New Roman.

by hopelite 10mo ago
Did you have that kind of reaction, that it’s absurd, when Blinken ordered the use of Calibri after ~20 years of consistent use of Times New Roman? It is objectively more concerning and “absurd”, regardless of “team”, that Blinken arbitrari

It seems we (America) are in some kind of “middle”, or at least a phase change in a larger wave of the addiction cycle, with different stages affecting different generations and countries based on arrival of what can be described as the add

I agree that this is a reasonable perspective, but from my cursory understanding of the “shakeup” at Apple, I am not sure it is seen that way by the Board and Cook.

You are missing the point even though I rather clearly indicated it. This is not a question of whether you or I see the taxes as we likely both care to similar degrees, it’s about whether it is front and center for regular people to see at

by hopelite 10mo ago
That’s ironic, because I don’t see the European hiding of taxes being a benefit or WYSIWYG at all. I agree that the way it is done in the USA is also not ideal, but frankly, the majority of people in all places are, let’s just say disintere

That makes no logical sense. So if I give up my “entertainment” subscriptions because the execs need their bonuses and drive the prices up to compensate for the penalty, causing me to think about how to spend quality time with my family pay

Explain how it’s not just “racism” but also “as hell” “racial”. Is “as hell racism” like a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, super special, makes you stomp your feet really hard, and you’ll hold your breath or else racism?

There is already case law that makes the records collected by government through these methods no different than any other public records, especially since they are publicly visible license plate numbers. That has its own problems because i

Why would they break into individual hardware when they have unfettered access to the whole system in certain countries’ cases and can likely just hack into it in more adversarial cases? It is one of the several reasons why … yes, I know YC

LinkedIn has always struck me like a kind of contemporary slave management/market place, only one in which pick-mes try to be the best alpha slave they can be. The fact that you are linked in, as in a chain, sure does not help with dis

I totally understand your sentiment, but you could just check a random assortment of license plate numbers you collected while driving around, which also includes yours. At the very least that would effectively obfuscate your license plate
