Bro I don't want to sound mean but you've got a blog. I built a customized wiki cms, it's the best, most info-dense site in my niche by a mile and I've still been getting fucked by google for a decade. Literally, please,

I can barely remember the boingboing era of the internet, but when I found out Doctorow was a serious writer I remember having a similar reaction... Then again, look how the term has taken off, perhaps it's we who are the shit-marketer

I once saw racoon prints descend from the rafters in a barn, complete with little muddy handprints on the doorknob into the feedroom, like some sorta sylvan-bandit tom cruise. When food is on the line, animals can figure all sorts of things

Most on HN have already fallen for the dichotomy of scrooge mcduck-style capital vs proudhonist pirates. Meanwhile publishers are caught between these dueling retards and getting squeezed on both ends. Don't forget the scrapers that wi

Horrible-- maybe leave the neologisms to the people who can tell latin and greek apart

As an orphan that has wanted a last name change-- it's mostly because I am afraid of being locked out of my google account. Haven't I suffered enough?

Even in cities like NYC most handymen doing repairs, even in large buildings, are unlicensed. And if they are licensed, it's their employers that actually hold the meaningless paper while they send out unlicensed grunts into the fiel

I think my team has spent about a quarter of this year's dev time on defending against scrapers. Their arrogance is the stuff of ancient greek dramas.

It's not enough to have hindustantimes.com articles for local American news on google-- even YouTube must be sacrificed. The rivers of enshittification must flow.

This is such a retarded modern take on things, not everyone derives meaning from checking off a bucket list they read about on some internet listicle. For some of us, creating and contributing is the goal.
