In the interest of fairness, you could reverse your whole comment and it would still ring true. Not to say that you are implying it yourself, but when these points are usually made, it comes with an implication that the “extroverts” are see

If only some people are doing “actual work”, why even have the others around? Why hasn’t everyone done their own thing? Are you telling me that with all these jeans and hoodie wearing teeny boppers starting startups that go big, the people

That’s a simplistic view. “Beholden to shareholders” does not mean prioritising short-term gain at all costs. That’s not just my ideology, it is how publicly traded companies work a lot of the time, including the one that I work for. To imp

To actually answer your question without snark, it’s still miles behind. I give the competition a shot once every year or two to see what’s up. It’s never even close for someone that prioritises the things that I prioritise. Every Plex comp

Honestly, there are few apolitical things I come across in my day to day life that have as much misinformation slung at them than Plex does. The “begrudging user” community is incredibly toxic. It really does seem like half the people there

If in your mind database implies a type of technology and not something conceptual, you’re really just outing yourself as someone that needs someone between you and the boardroom. Certainly not something to show off on Hacker News.

“The government” is big. Lots of people, caring about lots of things. Did you want to be less absolute in your claim?

That is not a user-specified authority.

Nothing about this is IRC. It is undoubtedly sacrificing a lot of things that the vast majority of people look for in multiplayer notepad, for properties that are sought after by privacy wonks. Mind you, IRC barely if at all addressed these

It is what it is. AJ’s bias really comes into play when talking about Qatar. Otherwise, their record speaks for itself.

I am assuming that this is American bias talking? Plenty of other cultures are more trusting of government than the US’s is. The main State-sponsored media outlet in my country is considered to be of a pretty high quality. It has some inter

It is. Computer nerds undeniably buy into anti-Semitic conspiracies more than other conspiracies because of the amount of peddling they get in silly 4chan et al culture.

The drop isn’t nearly as up for debate as the cause is. Let’s not get distracted here. Some people need more evidence than this before they place blame on a group with such a history of prejudice against them. Hell, I’m from a country that

No. This is 100% just informed by your ideology. Enough said. Don’t peddle that here. When people actually discuss the advantages of diversity in the workplace, the advantages exist due to actual diversity, not just “a non-white-male voice”

You can’t hire a bunch of people without lowering the bar. This is a big part of the reason why big tech doesn’t appeal to me. “We’ve got tens of thousands of the best of the best” sounds like weird delusional fetishism and I’d like to thin

This is literally their job. Implying that they “cannot digest even simple information” is almost certainly a misrepresentation. ICs will naively paint ideal management as simply “master craftspeople that get usually paid more than me”, and

If you’re always as quick to judge as you’ve been here, you’re just going to end up creating your false reality. Even current-era Google killing the Bitwarden extension sounds utterly unbelievable. And yes, I also use Firefox. There’s enoug

Honestly, from my perspective, and from anyone else not elbow deep in the VC-driven startup hellhole, this post reads absolutely insane. Why is this the only lens that you can look at this through? It feels…unhealthy.

My friend, nobody implied that any of these things result in a foolproof system.

That’s not how you save face. Genuinely, if nobody said anything about this anymore, basically everyone would forget about it. The privacy nerds that would remember this 6 months from now would be utterly politically immaterially few

If you ask a Meta employee this you’ll no doubt get some internal structural / political justification, and they’ll say it to you with a straight face. Let’s also all think back to 2011 or so when Facebook thought it’d be a good idea t

I’ve accumulated, what, 3 Facebook accounts over the years? Many mornings I wake up to see that recovery codes have been requested for all of them, at a similar time. Surely this is enough of a signal to act on!? It really speaks to the fac

Tell me about it! I accidentally let [my first name].au lapse. Shitty registrar, all that was available during the initial .au sale period, their renewal emails went to spam. Whatever. I still get that it’s all “on me” and someone has the r

It’s an important question because “digital freedom” tends to be code for “I want the Internet like how it was when I was younger”, and then throw in some stuff about jailbreaking iPhones or whatever for good measure.

You really took OP’s point and ran with it to make a deeply radical and ideological argument. I can only imagine that the only way that you maintain this view whilst finding HN a palatable community is by drawing fairly artistry distinctio
