Sad but good. The internet had become too large any way. Once upon a time it was a small pond full of interesting life, today it's an unfathomably large ocean. Everywhere you look, it's mostly empty. The good stuff now is in small

That's basically what Marx & co. have been talking about. Just that there are no more aristocrats, bourgeois, proletariat. Today there's just the ultra-rich in control of the government, media and now the machines, and then th

So, in your metaphor, you never were an artist. You were just a poser. What I find cringeworthy is that it seems the entire industry is filled with posers and I didn’t learn this fact until now. As mentioned previously, I just wish the ‘pos

Asking on behalf of Github’s PR team: what is the suggested alternative to X to post our updates to reach the largest amount of people, companies, as well as promote our brand? I haven’t seen any suggestion in this thread. status.github.com

> Just because it's been going on for a decade doesn't make it any less crazy that Twitter has become a primary source of news. I agree. Still, this is the state of things, and well outside my control.

I was previously afraid I couldn’t leave Google. Now I am afraid I will have to stick to Kagi forever if I want to search the Internet the good old way.

I do not have a Twitter account. You do. It is the cesspool of humanity and one of the reason the Internet has become so shit. Please try not to contradict my very words to make a point. That’s very Twitter-like of you.

Strength perhaps? I cannot imagine strumming very long with my right hand/arm. I imagine it would get quickly sore. Learning to use a fretboard is hard enough with any hand, might as well use the weakest.

Are you from 2015? Companies have been announcing stuff on Twitter for a decade, and the rest of social media has been regurgitating Twitter posts for almost as long. Newspapers routinely quote Twitter. All that happened before they even re

Who the heck follows Github on Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, WeChat? Wherever they posted, there’s at this time two articles on the Hacker News front page. Sounds like they have reached their audience.

That's exactly where my mind went. ~113 comments at the time of writing to discuss an announcement that a guy is starting a new job.

I’ve seen people code like this and it looks maddening. A sure fire way to break the state of flow and be distracted by nonsense.

Hacker News is the /r/unixporn equivalent for AI. Ground zero. They all are here. The further away you go, the more sensible takes you find.

Oh that’s definitely it. Even Steve Yegge mad with vibecoded powers has said it feels a lot like gambling. I wouldn’t trust the judgment of gamblers talking about their ‘winnings’, so to speak.

There is nothing close to Photoshop (or the Affinity suite) that runs natively on Linux. Despite how niche that market is, one could make big bank if they could magically create a valid alternative out of thin air. I’d pay hundreds of dolla

Got one myself. I keep thinking I should send these spammers gore pictures to ruin someone's day. I wish there was a service/mailing list to automate this, so I don't have to view the pictures myself.

I don't get why it's so praised. Everybody says it's about the rise of computing, and all I got was a shoehorned romance story with computers in the background. Just like all those sci-fi shows where the sci-fi is only a back
