What’s the point of specifying “cis” ? That’s the default. Because it appears that adding that bit serves as a low effort social grift.

This is what will eventually happen. The moderators who do it for free almost always crave power and are extremely biased. Most subs are a cesspool of arbitrary bans and overt condescension. Mods will often lock threads if it fits within th

Huffman (spez) has his reasons for the reddit changes, but they do seem a bit short-sighted. But there comes a point where these online services have to make money. It's as simple as that. So is he waging war on users, or making a busi

You're definitely not the only one. I also endorse the idea of function over form, because catering to the masses has historically stood adjacent to 'lowering the bar' (choose any metric for this hypothetical). Every place th

I think Monero is awesome because it's actually designed to be an anonymous payment system. Unlike Bitcoin, anonymity is built into each transaction. No need for washing your coins via sketchy "tumbler" services.

You’re reaching so desperately for a way to defend this blatant overreach, and I think you missed the original point.

It’s the only app/service that makes people smile non-stop. It’s endless videos of cool stuff, comedy, cat videos, tech tidbits, cooking videos, etc. I’ve deleted all other social media accounts because browsing Facebook, Instagram, an

I think the guy you replied to, dang, runs the site. So I figure they probably have some sort of admin dashboard with tagging functionality for common reposts? Just my guess.

I welcome a paid model for all sites, honestly. That way, sites aren't slaves to the ideological driven policies of the advertisers. Post something the advertiser doesn't like? Ads get pulled and the site loses money. When you pay

I’m in the same boat. Using Passkeys gives the user less control. The last thing I need is another layer of complexity when dealing with credentials. This seems like a solution created for people too lazy to generate and track secure secret

That “think of the children” argument is so tired and played out.

We’d rather have it and not need it at the moment, versus needing it at the moment and not having it. In other words, persistent development at this early stage is about being proactive.

The solution to this problem is actively parenting your kids. Take them on hikes, start a hobby with them, bond, etc. Letting the internet babysit your kids is the precursor to internet addiction. If you put in the work, then you won't

No one cares about panel gaps. A lot of people on HN despise Elon and become relentless pedants when discussing any of his products/initiatives.

Yeah man it's wild. I think some people just need a "boogeyman" at all times to focus on, to help ignore their own faults. Elon is a bit of a bellend, but he's nowhere near the evil, cold blooded, psychopath that people
