So do sodium hydroxide makers, they know it's toxic and they still don't stop selling it.

But I think that's the point: the media should be illegal. Probably not to consume, but to produce or distribute.

They already must consent. By using HN you're subject to the terms of ICANN and Verisign.

Indeed, but it shows they're not "innovative" as in not willing to iterate on their platform to maximise user satisfaction. They see it as, essentially, a folder full of mkv files. Which you could also publish, but nobody wou

> more as a social(ish) But that's the hook of social media, isn't it? Be media, but make it look social. The most popular YouTube creators get paid millions - it's their full time job and they have a team of staff. That&#

You're doing the exact same pitchfork thing but against the diffuse group of "parents".

Are you sending kids to Facebook as an alternative to school?

I agree. Whenever everyone thinks something is true, we should be skeptical that it's true. Since everyone hates Putin so much, we should be skeptical that he is actually bad. Since everyone thinks the sky is blue, it must actually be

Something like 82% of parents and 70% of people want social media to be banned for under-16s. How much more agreement do you want?

It's the same thing. Parents improve their children's "self-regulation" by using the courts to make sure the world isn't full of addictive junk.

So what? Media can write "Donald Trump, the confirmed child rapist and embezzler" but it won't actually make anyone stop liking him.

iOS app installation (what some people call "side-loading") is done by signing up as a developer and then installing the apps as if you're developing them. You have to refresh them every 7 days in Xcode or they'll get de

Ground News was shown to be a right-wing psyop and an AI slop machine, FWIW. It also doesn't deliver the value it says on the tin, since you can't actually read the articles it links to unless you have subscriptions on those sites

Are you actually in society by using Instagram, or do you just feel like you are?

HN is monetized indirectly by advertising VC stuff, also by removing things that contradict government narratives or billionaire narratives

WhatsApp is not Facebook and Instagram - at least not yet.

No they don't, not really. They are endorphin machines as you said. The perceived utility is a false perception caused by their being endorphin machines.

Perhaps the second half of the word referred to Brin, after his smell after coding it for a week nonstop. Only a silly hypothesis of course.

You think every genocide has an Auschwitz and if it doesn't have an Auschwitz it can't be a genocide?

What is it if you install the Java and C++ plugins together?

We all know that /dev/null is web scale. This can be implemented in front of any RDBMS as a separate layer. Traditionally they weren't designed for quorum-sensing since it hadn't been invented yet. I'd be surprised

Which it also had to do because SMS doesn't have half its features, like encryption and sending images.

It's not all about profit as European SMS is now free. It is however about decentralisation stifling feature development - a trap we run into again and again, from email to IRC to SMS to Fediverse/ATProto. WhatsApp is one company

Yeah but you have to think about what that convenience actually is. You can't just say "twitter is convenient". Visiting someone's website is actually much easier than visiting their Twitter, so what happened?

Isn't small claims designed for, well, small claims and therefore low overhead? That's why you can't bring a lawyer. Which is super annoying for a company, because a company has no physical embodiment and has to send a lawy
