No. The US will simply import more people.

Straight people invented buttfucking and are by far the most ardent practitioners of it. It’s just the numbers.

Yes, dead common for consumers, but consumers don’t really buy them because there are places that do the repairs so cheaply everywhere.

Apple can’t win here. If they had sent the sleek, easy to carry tools this author asked for, the author would complain about the pathetic tools they are providing. Really disappointed in The Verge on this article. Could have been a cool pie

I believe they could. Twitter: Texas Edition is still Twitter. They are not being deprived of Twitter as a service for their geographical location, only being served a different version of it. Which is already true. The engagement algorithm

The Supreme Court overruled that about four years ago. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/masterpiece-cake...

The 50m people provision just means that social media companies only need to create a “Texas Edition” offshoot that only allows 49m users at a time. This would not be discrimination based location, because it would only allow Texans to sign

I hope you’re right. I hope Elon takes over and turns into a cesspit . Burn it to the ground once and for all, let the public stare into the abyss that their fellow humans.

If I were going to give something to every household in the US, it would be a rice cooker. I made fun of these before I had one -- how hard is it to cook rice? -- but when it comes down to it, they just make everything so much easier. You c

I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply with the first paragraph, but let me tell you how it sounds to me: “Hot take: people who have a different work style preference than me are inferior and damaged, and/or have motives which I desp

>Why should people get to endanger others? This is a dangerous frame for this argument. "Get to" implies a "right," or that the action is condoned somehow. It's not. Not everything bad in the world needs to be pr

If I recall correctly, Facebook gained something like this in terms of functionality at one point: the ability to show only certain posts to certain people. I left shortly after -- that just seems exhausting to keep track of and generally n

I didn’t imply that they are not GPL compliant. I stated it directly. I’m not interested in onyx’s products because they are a shitty company. I don’t have the time, energy, resources or motivations to improve a shitty company. I do have th

Did she point to an active link to the source code? Without that, it doesn’t mean anything.

by wfhordie 4y ago
Onyx violates GPL by not releasing their source code. So, I won’t buy their products.

I do this about once a week. It keeps me from caring about points. If people can't see past my green username status, then it's time to move on.

And you could get unbanned by deleting the tweet, is that right?

by wfhordie 4y ago
I’m not sure by what evidence you came to this conclusion. The tweet exists. It exists with this person’s handle on it. This person claims that their account is not compromised. From an Occam’s Razor standpoint, it doesn’t add up. I was l

I am sort of baffled by all the ink being spilt about Twitter. I still find it jarring that anyone reports on “tweets,” and that there is even a process to ‘appeal’ a decision made ‘about a tweet.’ Anyway, meta-commentary aside, this blog p

If you haven’t done something stupid like this a few times in your life, you ain’t living. This is a perfect HN post because it combines terrible technology and “let’s see how it breaks.” Thanks OP, a delightful Sunday read.

Well, it's not too difficult to ignore 'a vast amount of media' -- in fact, given there are only 86,400 seconds in a day, and for 28,880 of them you're sleeping, I'd say you have to ignore a vast amount of media.

This is a startling reversal from the pre-pandemic days, when workers would pack up and move wherever the higher-paid spouse’s company said they had to. It’s amazing, and I believe we must fight for this. It’s a more humane way to do busine
