I guess HN is just a more pretentious version of Reddit now? Share simple facts and people downvote/flag you for not being sufficiently outraged about the subject?
I'm no fan of the direction Windows has been going since 7, but this is exactly like the default behavior of KDE Plasma (at least on OpenSUSE).
That explains it, I'm not in that ecosystem but suspected it was something similar.
They must have a very creative definition of "active user" because Zuckerberg gets 15-20k likes on his posts while I can scroll down X and find several posts a few hours old from random gimmick accounts with many times…
This reminds me of how Playdate owners make it very obvious they don't use the thing in the way they retroactively justify their purchase by commenting on quirkiness or aesthetics at the expense of functionality or…
Elon Musk got the stick for being outspoken and disagreeing with elements of a quasi-religious ideology (disregarding his further radicalization following that event). ESG doesn't "do what it says on the tin", there…
This doesn't address the contradiction. The fact that a CEO's sociopolitical views take precedence over the impact of the actual company is exactly why ESG is a cancerous tool for political activism that should not be…
I read /pol/ occasionally like I read far-left commentary and I can assure you that they portray Hamas/Iran/anyone aligned against Israel or openly anti-semitic as a gigachad. If Jews were wiped off the face of the…
As far as I know, friendly fire and collateral damage are a reality in all hot wars, especially in situations such as this one where one side attempts to blend in with civilians, so I don't see how this is different.…
I see Jews being harassed, synagogues vandalized, 4chan-tier anti-semitic conspiracy theories going around leftist circles, and more broadly I see social media armchair activists who may or may not be relevant but do…
I agree in principle, but I don't see many protesters demonstrate that nuance.
The idea is to stand up for the weaker party and that's it. It doesn't matter that Palestine is led by a terrorist group with a genocidal agenda with overwhelming popular support. They are weaker and therefore they…

Are you serious? That culture is why America still has high innovation while other Western and "culturally Western" countries that do not are largely stagnant. I'm amazed at how often I see people (largely Americans I'm…
Literally all of the examples you gave to support the idea that children need uninterrupted Internet access would be solved with a little bit of advance planning instead. Obviously your mind is made up, but that's not…
I'm inclined to disagree based on my personal experience. I was never subjected to the kind of pressure you're talking about with regards to mental health and medication, but I spent too much time on social media and…
We used to have computers in schools, on which we did all the things you present as requiring a cell phone to do, only without the persistent Internet access. Somehow we survived.
I saw discussions on GitHub where it was suggested that they refuse to match based on metadata over folder structure because they don't trust people to tag files properly. With my library, it generates multiple album…
Both Plex and Jellyfin refused to import my fairly standard and accurately tagged music library last time I tried, and Plex is definitely opinionated about structure in video libraries.
And mine will be studying ancient Hebrew, Greek and Latin and reading the Torah, Homer and Virgil. Anyone allowing children near electroludograms designed to be addictive before they're familiar with actual classic…
How do you qualify this as "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" and not the suggestion of yielding government control of OSS? That is the disproportionate reaction, and I urge anyone pushing for more government…
I wouldn't leave it for that long, but mostly because of degradation in texture. The sarcasm is how I stop myself from getting too angry over the ridiculous US food safety guidelines that discourage people from cooking…
My model recommends the warming function for up to 40 hours, but I'm sure Japanese people who eat rice every day get poisoned all the time, and we should all follow FDA guidelines that say to throw out all of our food…
This article names a bunch of advantages of free shipping but we're supposed to reject it because an Etsy seller decided she didn't want to offer it and compensate by increasing the price of her product slightly for an…
So because climate is hard to model, it's unfair to expect models to be reliable, so we shouldn't criticize environmental doomsayers spreading bullshit projections that guide government policies before getting…
