This seems like an interesting site, but that is by far the most off-putting and manipulative text I've ever seen on a cookie notice. > We know having to press this sucks, but unless we see a decentralized Web 3.0, some elements on

To add to others' comments, another nice detail is that you can simply push to a non-existing repository to create it, rather than having to first create it through the web ui.

Is there any downside (other than a little more work for the implementer) to just using their main payment processing API, and to implement subscription billing with a cronjob? This is what sr.ht does [1], at least as of a year ago. If doin

It's a proof that you control the profile. You claim on your Keybase profile that you control an HN (or Twitter, reddit, ...) account, and then you post a proof on that service to verify that you do indeed control it. https:/&#x2

Oh nice, very glad to be wrong! I'll have to do some closer reading.

This looks so nice, and I've been desperate for years for a great, fast-refreshing e-ink device and/or monitor, but the closed ecosystem is so disappointing. Their 'avoid distractions' marketing is fine and good, but loc

Seeing this list makes me wonder: is Mozilla the only major software development nonprofit? (Feel free to interpret "major" however you want if you answer the question.) Regardless of one's feelings about Mozilla, the layoffs

For whatever it's worth, on mobile I think I'd prefer it without images, or maybe just a select few images throughout the page. The page just feels too long. I'm not sure what a good way would be to pick out which to show tho

I'm not contending that dumb ads are the same as ads on the web. I'm saying that the killing off of RSS feeds is not due to lack of ability to advertise. If it were simply about only showing "smart ads", Reuters could ju

The ads I hear on podcasts and radio shows and read in newsletters might beg to differ.

I see this argument pretty regularly, but I don't understand it. Of course you can run ads in RSS feeds; you can put whatever you want in an RSS feed.

Can anyone recommend some Linux games from the bundle? I started Oxenfree earlier today and it's been really cool so far. I've also played A Short Hike and Celeste previously and they're really great.

Thank you so much for sharing that article! When I posted this I was really hoping someone might be able to point to a parallel. Steve Fletcher from the OP is my councilmember so I'll pass this on to make sure Camden is looked at.

I live in Minneapolis, and I'm not a Twitter user, but I've found that following news reporters on Twitter that are on-site has been the best way to get reliable information quickly during the protests. (I use nitter.net to follow

Does anybody know of someplace online (forum, blog, whatever) where sensibly-designed smart-home devices/sensors are curated? A la "/r/buyitforlife for unclouded smart devices", or something.

Ah, so it's actually not entirely removing blacklisted results, it's just condensing those results. Personally, I think I'd be more interested in nabakin's idea of editing the query before it gets sent to Google. Althoug
