There is so much noise surrounding NFTs, primarily in the form of hot takes and clickbait headlines, I’m exhausted and almost don’t even care to seek out the signal being buried by it. Common sense tells me that NFTs — in the sense that the

That's the missing link, unfortunately -- I'm allergic to keto staples such as avocado, coconut, fish, egg (yolks only, whites are fine). I have so very few foods left that I really just have to eat what I can. And more are droppi

For sure. It is so very obvious to me that there's one way forward: on the smallest levels possible, replace what energy production a given area can with some sort of creative renewable(s) implementation. And over time, replace fossil

Alright, I'm game. Assuming that you truly have to pick 2: We very simply must go towards clean/carbon-free as much as we can, so that's my #1 pick. It must be economically viable for it to, you know, actually happen, so that

Agree on all counts, though if I'm being pedantic... > J.S. Bach also had less influence on popular music than the Beatles did, even in his own time, during which he wasn't particularly popular. J.S. Bach is probably the single

I don't think anyone has said that he was more influential. That's a silly, go-around-in-circles-pissing-on-each-other argument that I'm not at all interested in having. The influence of both Miles and The Beatles are difficu

Wondering if anyone is in a situation similar to mine (probably not but it's worth a try): Earlier this year I developed about 30 food allergies (IgE-mediated; I'm using the term "allergy" accurately, not in the fuzzy wa

For real. Miles changed music, what, at least three times? Birthed dozens of careers of the people that went through his band (as well as, you know, "the cool"). This dude straight up just doesn't know what he's talking

Uh. What? This might be one of the single most ignorant comments I've ever read on HN.

macOS does not force updates or upgrades.

Absolutely agree with this. Find the rest within staying in motion.

I mean, it's not age-ist. Age-related? Age-correlated? Age-esque? Yes, for sure. But "age-ist" brings with it a connotation of being derisive which is definitely not part of this conversation.

Nah, the 11 Start Menu is super lacking. I miss being able to make and name app groups in Windows 10. Plus, it's just lacking in basic and obvious "features." I wish I could default to seeing all apps. I wish that the current

This is great! Love all the design suggestions here. Caught a bug, FYI: The font-family line always says the name of the font on the right in both columns. I.e. the left column says the name of the right column.

Yeah but that would be absurd design: "75% of taskbar locations mean that you have a gap in your wallpaper." I mean, not beyond the scope of a design that still has some windows that haven't been changed in 25 years, but you

Why do you think that freelancers “generally work in front of a massive iMac screen?” That’s anecdotally very wrong, especially depending on what type of freelancer you’re talking about (the term alone is too broad to be useful).

Absolutely not. The 16 inch is a huge laptop even if it's thin. Might as well make it a touch thicker if it means better thermals/battery life.

I think you mean 13 inch. The 14 inch today is the first 14 inch model they've released.

Agreed, though "destroy" is a bit of an inflammatory word. I'll add to your list: degrowth.

Overproduction of food is irrelevant if regional supply issues exist. So why do they exist, why are they sticky and so apparently unsolvable? Desalination is prohibitively energy-intensive. More so in a world of shrinking resources. You&#x2

I'm over here using Alt+Tab on Windows 10 with my arrow keys. Not sure why it isn't working for you. I thought you were getting to the fact that "show desktop" isn't one of the options in Windows 10 Alt+Tab, which i

The appearance of a trend does not guarantee the continuation of that trend to its logical extreme. I'd argue that they're just doing the obvious: refining and maturing iPadOS, and unifying the vibe of all their products. This mak

I find it a little hilarious that any distro is aimed at non-power users. The middle of the Venn diagram of “non-power user” and “will install an OS that isn’t the one that came with their computer” must be vanishingly small.
