It's a great time to switch to Linux.

Did you get permission from HN to do this?
There's no way I'd join something like this without the official stamp.

I tried their 25 inch monitor. E-Ink is such a better experience. I don't feel so jacked in to the matrix when I use it.
The ghosting and refresh rate are holding this technology back though. Definitely not main driver status yet.
LED and LCD screens seem to shift the brain into an agitated frequency. I wish they'd make more progress with E-Ink!

Yes. A lot of tech history has its roots in gaming. And Trammel is for carebears.

Nice. The "edit" portion was very clever!
Now write a short, trite comment.

No need to repeat your snarky opinion on multiple comments. We understood where you're coming from the first time.

He probably won't get any offers with that kind of attitude.
No one likes paying someone who has an entitled asshole mentality.

The ship is strangely generalized in design. There's no specific bridge; no command center. There's no engineering section. I can identify no living quarters. There's no indication of life.
Re:Ask HN: What brought back the joy of programming for you?

Being reminded I didn't get into it for money and recognizing the tools and ideas the masses chose to define the industry are unbelievably terrible, delusional even.

Maybe something low effort and ironic like you'd find on a web ring, but even less effort.

Re:Ask HN: What are problems only Windows, macOS, or Linux has?
on Friday May 17, 2024 @10:45PM (#40396141)
Windows is a telemetry nightmare and doesn't believe in free will.
MacOS is like a controlling father that lets you opt out with strings attached.
Linux lacks polish so it never feels like a reliable workhorse.
All these OSes surely are backdoored so it's choose your poison of who you want reading your email: shifty suit and ties or cyberpunk graybeards.

An ad supported freemium Raspberry Pi running pi-hole would really sum up the last decade in tech.

Re:Ask HN: Why do you use Apple products?
on Thursday May 09, 2024 @12:01AM (#40305195)
I don't trust Apple anymore. Transitioning out. The thumb scans, then face scans, and then making Little Snitch not fully effective, and now they make their own chips so zero accountability as to what kind of functions are in those chips in a world with satellite internet.
