Debug_Overload

They even set up legit GitHub profiles with repos that appeared in some scenes (and even their site/blog used to have regular updates lol). It was awesome.

Did this get rejected from the Chrome Store? Would've been more convenient.

The fact that you included Reddit, SO, Google Scholar etc is awesome (I thought it was only for main search engines). Thanks for sharing. Bookmarked.

I'm pretty sure the comment you're replying to is a joke using dang's familiar disciplinary warning format.

People dismiss blockchain mainly because it's a solution looking for a problem, something that's not true for the other examples in your last paragraph. The fact that the people who are trying to sell it almost always seem to peddle some old scams in a trenchcoat doesn't help.

This is awesome because it generates a fun paradox.

I am running uBlock, and almost none of the images on the page load right now. And seeing the way the title on that page is written, I'm not expecting quality content from there. Maybe share a link to a page that doesn't suck?

I remember the AMA one of their devs did on Reddit a few years ago, it was interesting.

> web developers out there that are just shit

The technical term is webshits.

KDE isn't mandatory. Some distros (like ZorinOS) also have this functionality by default.

Sure but the argument seemed to be more general. From the article:

  Perceptive readers might have noticed that most of these 
  arguments can be generalized. This article is much the same 
  if we replace “Discord” with “GitHub”, for instance, or “ 
  Twitter” or “YouTube”.

> By choosing Discord, you also lock out users with accessibility needs, for whom the proprietary Discord client is often a nightmare to use.

The author takes it for granted that accessibility issues are more prevalent in proprietary software like Discord (vs FOSS alternatives), is there any evidence to back this up? I ask because it seems counter-intuitive. Since most proprietary software in this space tend to have more users than their FOSS counterparts, it seems pretty straightforward to think that accessibility will be less of an issue in the former category (i.e., more users = taking into account and addressing more accessibility needs vs when you only have a few thousand users).

Maybe the logic is being open source encourages volunteers to address accessibility issues and submit patches? Although even that's debatable; unless the project is quite popular, there will always be shortage of volunteers.

I didn't know an open source project like this existed, it's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

How does it compare to the closed-source/proprietary alternatives?

For Business-Initiated Rates, Rest of Africa is higher than North America, Rest of Latin America, Rest of Central & Eastern Europe, Rest of Asia Pacific and Rest of Middle East (basically any region other than Western Europe). Any specific reason for this? "Being poor is expensive" kinda thing?

> I'm sure AI people will downvote this

So? Why would you care about the downvotes? Your online experience will improve if you stop getting worked up about fake internet points.

Hopefully, it will be back: https://twitter.com/webshitweekly/status/1450563491069247489

It probably won't be well-received here (although the site made it to the HN front page once IIRC), but for sarcastic/humorous weekly summary of HN, there is n-gate: http://n-gate.com/hackernews/
