Let’s not get sidetracked with the whole LGTBIQH or whatever topic — the obscenity here is that two people having sex is considered "normal" to show, no matter how you label it. It should at least be regulated. Right now, a 4-year-old child can access any porn site and binge as they please, becoming addicted to dopamine. No, that’s not okay.

There should be restrictions, and companies profiting from this industry should be the ones fighting for controlled access. ISPs should offer it as an opt-in service, so I wouldn’t have to install CleanBrowsing on every router, browser, or phone I get my hands on. The internet should be safe for everyone — at least on the surface.

Ask HN: Developer seeks English practice app for better job opportunities

Well, I'm a Spanish developer, and throughout my career, I've focused on Spanish companies, although I obtained an English certificate (F.C.E) to help me with documentation and learning new things. However, it has been 10 years since I prepared for that certificate, and my speaking skills have declined. If you don't use it, you lose it. I would like to maintain my English, especially to open up...

Re:Why I Bought an Encyclopedia on Saturday June 15, 2024 @04:22AM (#40688307)
Completely agree with the author of the article; the excess of screens added to the rise of generative AI is leading to a generation without critical thinking. For some time, I have been discussing with my family and friends about the resurgence of encyclopedias, reliable sources of information commonly accepted by everyone.

But people don't understand what I'm talking about; they are so used to the pre-digested information from traditional media that they don't question how much truth there is in a news story. The funny thing about this is that a couple of years ago I contacted a very prestigious publisher in my country to ask for information on how to get their encyclopedia, and well, the salesperson almost treated me like I was crazy.

Anyway, let's see what this new rise of AI brings, and I'll keep trying to find an encyclopedia XD.

Ask HN: Is it just me, or does the job market for IT seem bad today?

I am a developer with nearly 20 years of experience trying to find a new job to try new things and naturally to get a higher salary, but even though I haven't been seriously involved in selection processes before, I used to feel that recruiters would respond right away, like you had to fend them off, and now they don't.Do you get the same feeling?

Re:Ask HN: Is there a spiritual successor to del.icio.us? on Thursday August 18, 2022 @03:23AM (#32506387)
del.icio.us?! What memories! I remember that when I discovered it I spent 24 hours labeling my markers, I think it was back in 2008. Since it disappeared I have been using firefox bookmarks, because of its ease to make backup copies, also yesterday I discovered that they can be tagged and those terms are included in the firefox search box, so far I am happy, but it is also not I use markers very often.

Absolutely true, the most realistic post about business that I've red in time

you are complaining about Boris, you have to see here in Spain to Pedro Sanchez, it's a completely mess

In fact I didn't know that book existed, added to my wish list XD
I wasted a lot of time of my life believing in these things instead of paying attention to the catholic church that has said the same thing for 2000 years of history, there is a heaven, a hell and a God wants all souls to be saved and a devil who strives to ensure that this is not the case
