And normal (aka non-insufferable) people would just frame these pretty much in the same exact way? - Gay people can have children as well - Gay people will also take paternity/maternal leave? Ref…

The way I like to think about it is that I imagine, and am probably right, that the person on the other end of the review approaches it the same way I do - When I do my reviews, I don't particula…

Any competent dev from those cheaper countries has already long since moved into countries or at the very least managed to negotiate deals where they get paid pretty much on-par with richer countries.…

I'm someone who entered the workforce fully, 100% remote (ignoring jobs I had as a teenager anyway) at 19 and I couldn't disagree more. I actually have (and especially back then, had) a life…

Has this meme ever been a real thing? I know quite a few people who've made entire careers off of fixing the mistakes these outsourced "cheap" Indian make in their work, cheap being in …

Here's to hoping this forces their hand into making the mass data-hoovering completely opt-in so they can avoid these pesky normies from bothering them again the future

Lots of applications (specifically dev-oriented ones to be fair) will have a part in the Windows Installer where you can tick a box that says something like "open .xyz with APP_GETTING_INSTALLED&…

You really think M$ wouldn't stick microtransactions out the ass out of anything they touch coming from ActiBlizzard?

I'm in genuine shock that this obvious sarcasm needed an edit to add the /s

Sorry, but all of this strikes me as a very naive take on where AI is headed. The only reality I can see happening is that it just gets used to peddle even more ads to people while harvesting every si…

What "extremely positive applications" does ChatGPT have, exactly? From where I'm standing all I see is an infinitely deep and vast ocean of pure spam, scams and data harvesting on a ne…

I'm not really qualified to comment on these things so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the FDIC insurance was a minimum insurance, meaning that everyone regardless of balance is ins…

I guess mass, unchecked data harvesting is a "waft of fresh air" to yanks? Makes sense once you consider the usual target demographic of HN, which is the temporarily temporarily embarrassed …

Wow, that reworked sentence doesn't even carry a hint of the original meaning, it basically rewrites the character entirely...

The version of Fat that was envied in the 1500s and earlier is a whole different beast to the morbidly obese blobs of fat that can barely stand up we're seeing today.

I'll take literally any country in Europe, the Balkans (where I'm from, a tiny poor shithole for lack of a better word) included over S'pore any day of the week. I lived there for a whi…

Singapore is also an authoritarian concrete jungle, among one of the most expensive cities in the whole world. Let's try not ruin a beautiful country like Portugal by turning it into S'pore,…

I can't quite place why I despise this line of reasoning/argument, but boy do I absolutely despise this line of reasoning. Are we really going to play devil's advocate so much that we…

Always impressive and a bit saddening seeing the Apple shills crawl out of the woodwork when news like this hits the airwaves. What is it about apple that turns people into such rabid fanboys?

IIRC Sweden (or one of the scandis) does exactly that, a parking ticket is based on a percentage of your gross yearly wage (or something to that effect, maybe the sticker price of the car?) rather tha…

Never stopped, never will. Radarr and sonarr already give me superior UI/UX than the godawful streaming service UIs, plus I never have to worry about a favorite song or show or movie suddenly goi…

More like paid to pretend to care :)

An AI capable of deciphering some of the JIRA tickets I see at work would make even the most advanced fictional AI quake in their digital boots...

>I'm guessing you aren't a gamer. Followed by calling the game "Fortnight" gave me a bit of a chuckle. Most people I know just don't buy anything that isn't on Steam. …

I don't have a particularly bad form of ADHD, thankfully, but I can still feel the struggles I'm reading in this thread to my core. My biggest killer is meetings. Especially the boring, poin…

Or I can continue to not pay for them to track every single microscopic interaction I ever have with any of their systems :)

> seriously, anyone at this point advocating for any other phone/os/service out there besides apple is really going out of their way to swim up river. I genuinely refuse to believe a real…

I trust gorhill and by extension uBlock INFINITELY more than I trust Apple.

I wish him luck in successfully destroying that cesspool for a platform!
