Let's dumb down the internet even more because non technical users feel confused. Maybe we can actually remove the url field and just let the isp decide where they should go? They could offer a choice of 10 popular sites, like TV chann

They are practically begging for donations. I wouldn't be surprised if they pay the bills from their own pockets.

I'm stunned that people still today don't realize that there is no, big and centralized free services. How would that work on the company side? Who pays for giant servers and software development and maintenance? People are not to

Facebook is like daytime TV with 100 channels and nothing interesting to watch. That may be succeeding in financial terms but there is a lot of room for other services where the aim is not to earn as much money as possible and I stead cater

The general public will use the popular centralized services that is using their data to get rich. There is still room for technical alternatives for users who want something different, even if that is only 0.1%. Even with Slack being very

Forbes refuses to even load the front page if it is not allowed to store cookies on your computer. Cookies are for keeping logged in state. They are not needed to display html. But I don't need Forbes so it's ok.

The solution is to just stop checking Slack all the time. People get used to not having a response in minutes if you train them for it. I think it's more that people are worrying about what others think about them not responding. How a

Just a few days ago people on HN were believing it was an asteroid. If anybody would have challenged that, they would not have been believed. My point is, people believe most things, specially from space agencies, without having any means o

I really like that people out there are thinking of ways to get away from the current awful tracker internet. It must be possible to get rid of the ridiculous crap factory the ad agencies have turned the internet into.

HR alis there to protect the company. They consist of smiling faces who know they are snakes. I would not take their advice on anything.

Yeah it will. Often people are sad someone is leaning, and they may start to look for other jobs themselves. But all this is actually in the interest of the people working there. They may get higher salary and better work somewhere else.

Windows is by far the most annoying operating system out there. You want Linux. It's really easy to use these days and works pretty good. It's not perfect and you will have some trouble shooting but it's a lot better than sit

No, really, you have to leave. If you don't switch, are you going to use only Apple products your entire life from now? Seriously? There are many, many devs right now who is switching from MacBooks to Linux machines because Linux on th

It's easy for the masses, but less interesting for people who are interested in how things work. But have we really reached the end of evolution in web design now? The best looking sites now look mostly the same. Nice fonts, spacey, el

Mine is always in do not disturb. The only thing that makes noise is if someone calls me. I also don't use any "social" media really. I spend 10 mins here on HN every morning and night though.

There is no difference between kids and young adults in their 30s anymore. They all want shiny things and like to show them off. Some people keep this up until they are 50. It's because we live in a western society where we don't

Next generation Apple MacBook will look like an improved version of this. It will look stunning and be very uncomfortable to use. It will have a single USB-C slot, nothing else. Battery time will be 20 hours since they can put one where the

I would like to extend a thank you from your bosses that you are spending your entire life in the office so the company can make more money from your hard work. You may get a promotion, of course expecting you to send even more hours in the

Jesus. You would be alone in the office after 17.00 if you were in Sweden, and people would think you are a sucker for wasting your life in an office. You would be seen as someone who has no life. You would not get respect or higher salary

Why would it be a conspiracy theory? It makes sense for Google to make people use Chrome in any way possible. They are not interested in user privacy for gods sake.

Try the Temporary Containers plug-in, it's even better. It will automatically remove all site cookies when you close the tab, and can be configured to open all links as a self contained container. Basically every site you visit will be

I run the same thing and have zero complaints. The only app I've found that actually requires Google services to start is YouTube. A lot of other apps pops up a dialog saying they need Google services but then work perfectly without it

It's not heavy at all. I was running it on a dual core 0.9 Ghz CPU for a long time and it reacts instantly to anything you do. CPU usage for deepin was like 3% when idle on that slow machine.

Don't use apps for dating unless you want to compete on appearance and you want some good looking but boring, superficial and uninteresting tinder person. The only way to actually like someone, not just push a button that says like, is
