   How about you just stop collecting taxes in Russia instead of cutting them off? Either way, I'm noting you down for BDS. I suggest you also employ people in Palestine, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Myanmar, Kashmir, etc.

   If I understand correctly, Sweeper clears up sessions that haven't received a request in a certain amount of time. Essentially the use case would be to leave the session running until I ask Sweeper to clear it via an API request. Just

   Interesting. Will it be possible to control sweeper via API also? I'm a solo open-source maintainer and have a popular project that people want to orchestrate many instances of. Each instance (a.k.a session) is stateful and individuall

    Thanks for this OP. Looking forward to exploring how I can implement this in my own open-source project. Lots of users will find something like this useful.

    Love your hybrid model via gumroad! I do something similar for my own open-source project https://github.com/open-wa/wa-automate-nodejs There should be some sort of support group for those of us trying to monetize (san

    Hi, Can you fix the colors please? I have colour deficiency (red/green) and the yellow/green look almost identical to me. The original worlde colours work very well.

    Would've been nice if they spent as much money/effort/marketing in organising housing and compensation for half of South Jeddah that have just had their homes demolished.

    NGOs also don't need to do anything. Nobody has to do anything. You don't have to reply to my comments. I don't need to reply to yours. I don't need to explain simple corporate responsibility to not enable dictatorships

    These are everyday simple people, not HN people. They're not thinking about spinning up a matrix server with tailscale while a bulldozer is ploughing through their home. If the people go to twitter then twitter needs to consider their

    There's a mass systematic bulldozing/demolition of whole lower/working class neighborhoods happening in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia right now. Locals use Twitter spaces extensively to discuss, organize and share stories. Twitter spa

    State backed company targeting U.S infrastructure to pawn exploits off of. Sounds like Terrorism/National Security Threat to me. But aren't they an Ally of U.S? I wonder what reaction the Americans would have if it was Iran attemp

    Despite being called the "facebook law" it actually targets most online UGC sites. The facebook part is redundant actually as the live-streaming of the recent ethnic-cleansing of sheikh jarrah was reason for an instagram ban alrea

    What's with all the hypothetical sneaking? I actively encourage you to participate in BDS of the states you have an issue with, as I do myself. I think you should read more in the history of this relationship and compel your representa

    Hi HN, I'm pumped to launch payitfwd.dev - an easy way for github project maintainers to redirect would-be donors to downstream dependencies. I built payitfwd over the weekend after reading the n-th post on HN about maintainer burnout

    We rightly shut down the sense of entitlement that some users have to project maintainers' time and effort. I believe this whole recurring "open source + discord = bad" talking point comes from the same sense of entitlement.
