I keep no email on Google. I have a Linux box that pulls down all email, for all my families email accounts, and stores it locally. Then we use Thunderbird and access it via IMAP. It is then easy to back it up with everything else onto exte

This is just the risk people have to take with devices containing lithium ion batteries. I've had two phones swell to the degree that case pops apart. One time was when the phone was in my shirt pocket where I could feel it heating up.

It's not the AI that I worry about, it's the people that control it.

I hadn't heard anywhere that CLI's had even left. This must be from someone that has only been exposed to the Windows world of point-n-click, and then suddenly realized there were terminals with CLI interfaces available.

One thing is for sure, it will now be a lot easier for management to hire people with the goal of producing the targeted content instead of personnel writing screeds of political bias unrelated to the publishers desires.

I've never heard of that organization. Do they have a web site?

Just sitting here thinking about it, I can't remember anything specific like this outside of the tech industry... I may be wrong though.

It seems that these kinds of demands are becoming more common. Is it because conflict resolution is becoming a dying art, is it because people don't rise to the level of maturity of past times? I just find it to be confusing. Non PW li

Like the author, I too had made an account on Raddle. After lurking for a while, I came upon a post about the Proud Boy March in Portland, and I made one single comment with a slightly cynical tone. Within a period of five minutes I was ban

I've given many open source projects donations if I'm using the software. One thing about me though, if I read that the money is going to some social engineering project, like outreach programs, you will never get another penny fr

I think it's time to consider Facebook as a publisher like the NYT, WaPo and broadcast media, then they would have to follow the same rules.

This is coming from 250 of Facebook's 35,000 employees which equates to about .7% of their employees. You will always have a small group within that number of people that will be vocal about something, so this is definitely not an upri

It seems that more people are moving to dark mode. I use Tampermonkey here on HN so I can view it in dark mode. Maybe some day HN will see the light and implement native dark mode. :)

There is only so much people will put up with, and it seems that we're inundated with advertising from all sides. When most ads were in print, it was easy to avoid them, but now they are forced into every electronic media stream availa
