> Healthy adults don't use TikTok or any equivalent. This is a pretty obnoxious comment. You're welcome to your opinion that the apps are harmful, and I'm inclined to agree with you even though I use TikTok myself, but…
Everything I've gotten from 2tall has fit a bit differently, some are a bit roomier there and some are a bit more restricting. I have to order two different sizes of each top I get, because some will fit better in the…
I'm 6'9" / 206cm, and I've struggled my whole life to find clothing that fits, since I'm slim. If we're sharing links, the two I've been buying from lately are https://tallslimtees.com and https://www.2tall.com. The…
(1997) is in the title to differentiate it from the 2024 remake of the game; "Riven (1997)" is the typical way it's written. It's slightly ambiguous at a quick glance on HN because of how publishing years are commonly…
Hey, I'm the GitHub employee who's working on fixing that right now. The service powering those stats is _ancient_, and it fell over back in September. It's taken longer than I hoped to get a replacement working, but it…
I absolutely love websites like this that have a ton of information about a very niche topic. No ads or monetization, just someone who put together a very detailed website about something they love. I think my first…
They do specify why: https://www.iceblock.app/android They say they'd have to maintain a DB of device info and user accounts to send push notifications, whereas Apple devices do not require this.
I both agree and disagree with you. I think neurodivergence has become a bit "trendy" lately, and some people have latched onto these labels when they may not be clinically appropriate. However, these evidence-based…
I'll start by saying I am not a parent. I attended summer camps as a kid and worked at one for years as an older teenager. I love summer camps. Looking back, part of the magic for me was being away from my parents for…
I'm not sure what comment you meant to reply to, but it certainly wasn't mine, as you have my ideology backwards there.
I feel that this is a very black and white view of the issue. I don't want to see billboards as I drive down the freeway, but I have no choice (in the US) if I need to get somewhere far away. Several states have banned…
I'm traveling to Europe right now and had to install WhatsApp, and this absolutely infuriated me. You cannot start new chats with anyone (on Android at least) unless you grant it the contacts permission. I'm sure other…
I think if they make a product, they should support it long-term (within reason of course). Hangouts was great, for example. It could do SMS, voice and video calls, and regular web-based text chat. It was everything you…
I searched "chicago school consultants russia yeltsin" and found this article [0], which goes into great detail and the parallels are pretty obvious. [0] https://www.thenation.com/article/world/harvard-boys-do-russ...
I'm having a really fun time imagining how a hammer would physically prevent you from hammering a nail based on a subscription.

I'm sick of needing to spend weeks researching which couch or mattress to buy because corporations will happily sell me a terrible couch for $3,000 that only cost them $50 to make. It'll fall apart in a year or two,…
That's changing in my corner of the US (suburbs of a large city). Most of the local businesses I've gone to in the past couple of months are adding a 3% surcharge if you pay with a credit card. Haven't seen a larger…

Counterpoint: I've been running HAOS on an RPi 2 and 3 for several years without a single issue, and I do use a z-wave dongle but no Zigbee. I only do basic stuff with it (a few automations for my z-wave thermostat and…
I can't comment on all of Chrome's behavior here, but Firefox ignores autocomplete="off" too, and this is noted on MDN [0]. This is because a lot of poorly-managed sites think they're being security-conscious by…
Not quite the same thing, but several of Rare's N64 games (most notably Banjo-Kazooie) had a planned feature called Stop 'n' Swop [0] that would allow you to unlock things by inserting a different game's cartridge.…
I've always struggled with descriptions of aphantasia and I don't know if I have it myself because I don't know what's "normal". This article also didn't clarify it. When imagining an object, do people literally see it…
I have a 4K Chromecast w/ Google TV (Android TV?), and Apple TV is my favorite app to use on it. It doesn't have any ads or technical issues that the other streaming services have, it just works. HBO Max is the only…
