> This is not something you should have been able to say with a straight face. It proves nothing other than that nobody should ever take you seriously. Wow. Someone must have had a crappy Christmas, all by itself alone, deep in their bas

I would argue that parasites only became ubiquitous when we abandoned our hunter gatherers way of life and settled into agricultural communities of larger scale (something relatively recent when compared to human evolution). So, I doubt tha

I can see why her husband divorced her. Best of luck to that guy from now on.

Usual social “sciences” ideological fantasies. If you read the article, what does it mean “better mental health”? It means nothing, the “researchers” just came up with some made up metric that justifies their -probable- initial intended out

That seems a lot like the beef people have nowadays with AI. They also want machines, they love their iPhones and MacBooks. They just don't like it when the machines are able to do the mediocre job they get paid to do. Imagine if we ha

> “Proving the book false” It’s a novel, it has nothing to prove. It’s a deeply philosophical book.

It’s interesting, because we have examples of other sects in the past that also opposed human progress through technology. History is repeating itself. For instance, see Luddites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

One man’s public journalism is another man’s state sponsored propaganda. I don’t want my extorted taxes funding any of this. I hope other countries in Europe follow suit and shut down any state funded media and journalism networks. P.S. Fun

Sincerely, for anyone technical competent, I don't even see the reason to connect your TV to the internet (or even the local network). I do have a smart TV, but I have no use for it since my NVIDIA Shield does all the lifting. A good e

Sincerely, I'm just using Firefox ATM because of Sidebery. If I could use something similar on Brave, I would go back in an instant. My main issues with FF are that it is a battery hog on MacOS, doesn't have AV1 playing capabiliti

That’s just fantasy in your head. But even that fantasy world be better than paying 82% of your gross salary like you do in France. I would still be 32% in the positive that way.

In a world where many western states extort their subjects for almost half the wealth they produce (OECD average is 34% and in countries like France the state extorts 46% of all GDP in taxes and other mandatory contributions and an insane 8

Ah, no, that's not what I mean. It's the input devices. Mainly the mouse pointer. I now remember there was a way to go around it (a bit cumbersome and ugly) which was to render the mouse pointer only locally. That means no mouse c

Last time I've tried it was about 9 months ago and that was really an issue. But I also think that for people that didn't try a "snappier" alternative, it was possible not to realize it's there. Try and make a compa

Unfortunately sunshine introduces a lot of input lag on NVIDIA. In AMD I’ve read it works great, but for NVIDIA chips, in mouse heavy games, it becomes unusable for me.

"No charging: The battery lasts for up to years of average use. After the end of its life, send your ring back to us for recycling." This is terrible. This is literally e-waste. They are literally asking people to buy a product th

> “ A mix of all will end up obviously in a disaster”. I totally disagree. Everywhere I look, I’m being told that “diversity is our strength”. This will surely be the most awesome military in the history of human civilization.

I can’t understand why women and male allies aren’t flooding the streets in protest to demand the constitution changes so that women are fully equal to men then. Surely that’s the most noble of causes.

Call it Darwinism then. Ukrainian soldiers shouldn’t put their life in danger because other people are dumb.

“The form will be mandatory for men and voluntary for women.” This is highly misandrist. I can’t believe that we are in 2025 and a - so called - democratic government is still denying women the opportunity to potentially go and die miserabl

Oh, right, the eternal answer for fixing the climate change (and as if the issue with China’s pollution was only CO2 emissions) in HN: “They should have had more babies! That would have fixed their emissions!” China has the same size of ter

Windows implementation of RDP is actually very good. You get a degree of responsiveness that is unachievable with neither Linux RDP implementation or any other product (maybe barring Parsec, that also doesn’t allow for Linux hosts). I know

You've misinterpreted my point. But, I'll start by addressing your statement that fascism is so much worse than communism: It's not, all numbers from the 20th century show us that communism is even worse than fascism... and t

Makes sense. Cats don’t have use for hunter-gatherer populations. Dogs do. But when we joined into bigger and bigger agricultural based societies, cats became very handy to control pests. I remember when I was a kid, there were these stray
