The ongoing and ramped up tyrannies don't affect the people with guns, so it's not doing much good so far. When the oppressed arm themselves, people who claim opposition to gun control suddenly become very pro-gun control.

This seems like a lot of complexity unless "just spin up a Docker image" is something you normally do and are comfortable enough with to fix when it breaks. Not everyone is a developer, even on HN. Frappe Cloud's pricing page

Everyone thought it was cool how episodes of The Walking Dead kept getting longer. But then someone ran the numbers and it turned out the episodes were still the standard ~40 minutes, and every single new minute past that was ads. And not j

I wish the thing killing Google's golden goose weren't worse than Google. TikTok does it by pairing Twitter-level burnout-causing engagement juicing with short videos with no option to turn off autoplay.

I was thinking of charities that specifically take old electronics to refurbish and give to people, not thrift shops where it'd rot on the shelf. Just stuff so people who, for example, might not have have a consistent home or the means

There are charities that take old electronics to give to people who need them. I don't want to list any here since I'd have to do a background look to see if they're any good, but many come up on searching.

There's this weird brain worm from the 1980s in a lot of western democracies where everything government does has to be bid out to companies and driven by profit motive under the theory that it produces better outcomes. It doesn't

I've noticed a lot more grayed out comments in general, including my own. Sometimes it's obvious: they (or I) posted on the political/politicized intersections of a subject. Downvotes are likely a mix of people who are aggres

If people had respected the right of people to practice and believe as they wish, there would be no problem, but now their cultures are in tatters after centuries of violence and forced reeducation, and they're trying to protect what&#

This is not something I or anyone I know wants enforced by policy or "if you know what's good for you." It's nice and helps normalize the practice for people who need that acceptance, and it stands out in a good way, but

Even if it's well-known, and I'm not convinced it is since this is news to me, it won't be forever. Sharing some sources would help a lot both for people now and people finding this post 10, 20, 30 years from now.

This is pretty much it. Liberation means liberation of all the people I don't like, too, and it doesn't happen by going full Blue Team and further alienating them with useless slogans. I've been dragged on Twitter by the same

Twitter "optimizes for engagement" too. The effect is it burns me out and I crash off it for weeks at a time, and the only way to stop the cycle is to use a plugin to kill the engagement by removing visible metrics and the algorit

There's another perspective that takes parts of both: we're a lot less likely to have a few days of disaster and revolution, and get through it faster and better if it happens, if the maximum number of people have what they need t
