I’ve been on HN long enough to know that a disturbing number of people do actually believe that line and act accordingly.

Ah, ok. That makes sense.

Maybe this is a dumb question but what does -ng mean? I see a lot of forks seem to follow the <project>-ng naming convention.

Wow! that comment you linked speaks to me. I was watching a review video for a game yesterday that was so obviously written by AI it was actually painful to listen to. I started reading the comments and there were several people praising th

IDK. I haven't interacted with Facebook in over 5 years and my life is better for it. Facebook's value prop to me personally is negative.

Unpopular opinion but if people don’t want to pay for a thing, it’s probably not worth a whole lot to n the first place.

I felt the same thing at 30 and still sometimes feel it now at 36, although to a lesser extent as I've worked on it. My wife and I have been together 13 years and we found out fairly early that we can't have children. It's ta

I wouldn't wear them when I'm walking in the woods or hanging out at home. Having 'incoming car warning', or waypoint nav when I'm biking/running? That would be great!

Tech is so frustrating in real life. I feel like we have all the cool sci fi stuff I always wanted, but everything comes with a monkey's paw style gotcha. The idea of meta glasses is so awesome, I want a heads up display to show me wha

I’ve found that if I’m not struggling I’m not learning. If stuff is coming fast and easy that’s a sign that what I’m doing is not stretching existing skills enough. It’s true of most things. Running, dieting, weightlifting being uncomfortab

Honestly, at this point both the government and private enterprise are fucking me so vigorously I don’t know who to hate more.

by yoyohello13 2mo ago
I never said government should be in charge of everything or claimed our current government to be perfect. I’m pointing out the prevailing ideology (especially among HN and the rich) that government is incapable of being efficient so we don

We seem to be quickly approaching, if we are not already there, a point where you can no longer choose to simply not associate with the billionaires anymore. They have such extreme access to resources and power they essentially control the

> weren't they right during the Cold War? Very possible they were right. Hell, I'd agree it's true of the US gov today. If the message was "the government is currently bloated and corrupt, let's fix that" th

In the US at least, we've been brainwashed to think that government, by definition, must be bloated, corrupt and inefficient. Believing this axiom, people vote to hand over every possible service to private enterprise. Now we are in a

Let’s me honest, the communities have a lot of overlap.

It’s really the furries that keep the modern world running.

You should read the Herdr front page. Is so full of AIism it hurts my head.

FUD, can’t take investment when your project actually enforces user freedom.

Enshitification is 100% guaranteed with any vc backing. Maybe not now, but definitely in the future it is the literal point of venture capital. Gain adoption, then exploit to the maximum extent possible. It’s fine to use these kind of tools

I saw a hallucination just this afternoon about a spurious ca cert error. Definitely happens less often, but I do need to correct it occasionally. Maybe once a week so it still requires vigilance.

We self-host gitlab and it’s great. It’s not cheap, but it’s also never gone down.

I expect it’s more similar to the Buddhist idea that happiness is cultivated in your own mind. It’s driven internally rather than externally.

I would bet that Microsoft is 100% composed of vibe coded slop these days. Everything they touch these days turns to shit.

The writing was on the wall from the very start of Warp. I can't remember precisely what happened, but years ago when it was first announced there was something that required internet, or telemetry, or an account to use Warp. I noped o

I remember when I first started reading HN I was surprised how many people refused to use Linux. I get it has friction but to me it was worth it for the social benefit of having a FOSS OS. That’s when I realized FOSS is kind of a lost cause

I’ve quit caffeine (multiple times) and it doesn’t do what you’re talking about. I still get the restlessness. It’s just easier to sleep at the end of the day.
