Hackertube? NYTimes Hackernews? HackerBooks?

What a time to be alive ...

Still waiting for Doom running on HackerNews or Doom-inspired HN ...

I don't call them anything.

Haven't logged in directly for years, or checked anonymously for more than a year now.

Come on in, the water's lovely.

I miss twitter and tweets. So, thank you, Mr Hockenberry for being one of the team to bring us that. Wishing you well.

I'm still calling the axing of Google Reader the jump the shark moment!
You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

But I'm pleased you live up to your profile name.

All best,

I note that you do acknowledge the hypocrisy.

That's enough for me.

It's not "looking for support", it's pointing out the abject hypocrisy. But what's new. Have a great day.

Thanks for that fairER assessment.

For all his warts and all, Jobs is starting to age well in comparison to the current crop of wankers.

Excuse my French.

Only if you ignore the last 100 years of geopolitics. But, fair point.
Welcome to the party.

Fuck that obnoxious wanker.

Thanks for the heads up. Will wait for the Moto reboot! Hopefully this becomes more of a thing.
Thanks for the heads up!!!

I'm a previous Moto user and despite Pixel supposedly being more advanced, I really disliked them. I always preferred the Moto phones.

Gives me hope!

Excellent. That was one of my main issues with Graphene.

I'm just starting a deep-dive on it.

As a newbie, can existing users point out any other gotchas?

* EDIT: Oh ffs, only on Pixel phones ...

Read my comment again. Actually read it.
The instance might be exceptional, but the steady torrent of different varities of shit coming out of the USA is not exceptional. It's incredible.

And don't me wrong, I'm certain there are millions of good people in the USA. But the assholes are in the ascendancy. Obviously.

Stand up, or get flushed down the shitter.

Let me guess. USA?

For the land of the free and home of the brave ... it's incredible what you let happen.

I think the point is that - tragically and infuriatingly - it seems we'll answer that question when it happens.

Personally, I think it's time for some metaphorical guillotines to change our current directon.

We will continue extracting absolutely everything we can from Earth, at whatever the cost ... with the hope that technology will one day save us from our weakness.

And, yes, technologyy may "save us", but there are many different definitions of what that will look that ... some may be horrendous for the majority, but none of them will inconvenience those making the most significant decisions.

It's a joke. A clever trick. To what end? ... absolute joke.

Do you know what gets me excited? Have you seen the new Porsche Mission S?

Form, function and beauty ...

Highly practical. Basically a clown car.
Sorry, I went off on one. But I'll stand by the words and yell them at the wind.
When you start acting militarily, secure your own shit militarily.
It's relevant to every motherfucking discussion right now, and should be until that wanker and his cancerous tribe are gone.

And that should be your, and our, number one priority.

Unless you like flirting and passively sleeping next to a pseudo-fascist dictator and hoping your frog-in-a-simmering pot act will be enough to get you through this.

Unsure why you're downvoted.

Making the relative comparison is useful in understanding what a shitshow is going on in the USA.

Back in the day, we used to think Abramovich was corrupt as fuck and very dodgy.

In 2026, I understand him to be a relative amateur ...

He must have given up on me. I'm aware of him tangentially, but I've never consumed even one of his videos or whatever he does. I believe I should be studied.
Ahh, an actual admission of defeat. Kudos.
Sanctions ffs ... what a pathetic administration ...

They probably said the same thing about social media back in the day.

I'm sure the thinking out there, and hence investment, is all about how to tether the user to the most addictive, network-effected, incredibly deep, server-side, moat-able version of AI possible.
