I don’t experience this. I love the internet more these days than ever. There are so many cool people doing cool things. I think a lot of this perception that everything is bad and everybody is sad is projection because people consume mas

The worst part is that for all of this, the App Store is still absolutely chock full of fraud apps, scam apps, and malware. They deny great apps, fail to fix their mistakes, and leave heaps and heaps of actively malicious apps in place, in

In Germany it’s not just swastikas that are banned. There are people in the German government who decide what is banned and what is not, and the list is a lot more than [ “swastikas” ] and it only gets larger, never smaller.

Society has decided they want to do the thing that you say causes an ill. They don’t think it’s an ill. What right do you have to tell them that you know better for their life than they do?

Well, Instagram DMs have entirely replaced sms and phone number exchange for an entire generation. This is like saying “what benefit do teenagers draw from having a phone line?”

You are of course free to not view it. Why do you think that you should decide for others what they should view? How do you know better than they do, what they should or should not be viewing?

I’m curious the moral basis for which you have appointed yourself more qualified than the adult viewers themselves about what adults should be able to view in their web browser.

It’s success compared to the other possibility: not raising money and going out of business. We still cheer when a rocket separates from the first stage and ignites the next. Things going as planned during a risky and challenging endeavor

Sewers go places, and it is nearly a million liters of extremely concentrated stinky. If you do this, you take a single location source of stinky and smear it over a much larger set of locations that will then ALL be extremely stinky, in a

A bummer? Jim, even whilst failing, is living a life better than 99.999% of humans that have ever lived, and surely better than 99% of humans alive today. He has access to SOTA medical care, pharmaceuticals, ideal human weather, healthy a

Amphetamine is no stronger or more treacherous than caffeine, when dosed properly. As someone with EXTENSIVE experience with both, I would say caffeine is probably substantially more treacherous.

Not sure why you’re downvoted, this is HUGE. Most humans have a circadian rhythm that tends toward slightly longer than 24 hours, and waking up at the same time every day can be very difficult for some percentage of us.

“How can we make this thing, that has nothing to do with us, about us and how good we are?” (top story on HN) I get it, Tailscale is great and all, but, are we being serious right now?

Being on your LAN isn’t “hacking” anyone otherwise every hotel, airport, conference, and airplane would be unsafe.

Wrong. These are always humblebrags about how good their ability to learn from their mistakes is, and how robust they were before, and how they are even more robust now. The ones that are "deeply embarrassing" simply aren't

Tainted food and unsafe children’s toys kill people. Sketchy devices on your wi-fi don’t really harm anyone. They’re a minor inconvenience at best, mostly to large corporations that like to discern residential connections from business&#x2

You seem to be implying that it’s somehow wrong or bad to hire people that you like versus people that you don’t. Lots of people prefer others who are like themselves.

My, and almost everyone’s, phones are used for revenue generation. Let’s not pretend otherwise. High earner or not high earner, $200/mo isn’t a lot of money anymore, which is why I pointed out the lunch example.

I’ve always been told when computer shopping to “buy the fastest cpu and the most ram you can afford”. This goes doubly for revenue-generating devices. My iPhone is the computer I use most every day, by a WIDE margin.

> I get that people who are going to upgrade to the latest flagship phone every 18-24 months will probably do better with this, but realistically... those people are fucking insanely financially irresponsible This is not remotely true.

It’s not corruption to simply hire the people you subjectively feel a preference for working for, instead of objective criteria. It’s not public tax funds that fuel salaries, it’s your own money. You get to spend it how you like. Yes, many

AIUI Russia has been regularly intruding into Finnish airspace and has often penetrated the land border with Georgia. It’s one of those “let’s see how much we can get away with” probes to try to establish a new status quo. I wonder how Rus

Publishing platforms’ censorship policies affect readers because they affect discovery and decide, like a parent, what you should or should not be allowed to read.

It’s nothing to do with CSAM and all about surveilling who has which files and when, and who they send them to. Even ADP in iCloud sends the hashes of the plaintext to Apple, non-e2ee. This allows them to see who has unique files, and when
