Tell HN: You were never right about anything

from the self-post dept.

I've happened across this forum for 15 years and never see anything improve. Every single article here is just about how we have to make X illegal or else something bad will happen. By the same logic, tinkering with computers should have been illegal or the companies would have gone broke. Simple. You are brain damaged, obsessed people. The only merit of this forum is the occasional neat proof of concept software that gets posted, which has almost nothing to do with 99.999% of the users here who make web shit for a living.

And you are always complaining about how your web shit job is threatened. Why is everyone here more into the nuances of regulation than software engineering? You're constantly wrong on anything technical. I'm seeing people here who think fail2ban makes or breaks network security. How is it that you people think you're special when we can look at any general software product and see that it's egregiously broken on all fronts and even invents new fronts to be broken on (especially if it's embedded). The numbers don't match up. Like those Samsung Smart TVs with terrible menus that barely work. Web app on the other hand just means broken, I have no idea why this is not treated as an axiom in discussions here aside from you being the people who make the average website that not even my mom can use without cringing.

This is an aggregator with aggressive down-voting who don't follow the herd mentality. I fully expect this post and my comment to be voted to oblivion. Prove me wrong.

HN is the most politically correct garbage on earth. The only reason it looks good now is that most of the other web forums have died. I just don't get how hard it is for someone to make a forum without moderation aside from spam removal. Every single one has some moderator with an obsessive hall monitor mentality where he has to remove every possible thing that he perceives as a nano injustice. The Western world is a brain damaged authority appeasing shithole like how they perceive third world countries. Like what I'm failing to say in my post is that the hacker community for the last 30 years are ultra authority appeasing. They go far out of their way to appease whatever might supposedly be an authority.

The only reason it looks good now is Redit is worse

The worst part is even if you provide sources, it is still not enough. Just look at the number of times GitHub went down after the Microsoft acquisition in this comment chain. [0] after I made this comment [1] about self hosting two years ago and it seems to have aged like fine wine.

I'll be honest this is pretty incoherent.

What hasn't improved over the past 15 years? All HN cares about is making new laws? Please re-write
