Very, very, very little of real-world software dev is anything close to "engineering".

Name an industry anyone likes, aside from the money they might be making off it. They're all now hated for the same reasons, caused by the same, scarily small, group of people.

I just got one of those M5 meshtastic things with a keyboard and screen. My kid is in love with it. We're just messaging each other for now, but there's a lot of nodes in our area, so we're going to get a few more devices for family/friends in the area.

Dear MS, Not interested but, thank you so much for that push out the door a while back :) Tux is my Copilot now.

Pretty sure the author doesn't intend to enforce the entire world to run QR generation through this code. I'm not stoked Roblox doesn't let me type my real name and phone number into chat. But I can still go to the playground, and say whatever I want. Those 900+ mill people might appreciate a QR-Swastika-Maximizer. Maybe you should author and host one for them. Be the good you want in the world.

They still have to walk to the bus stop.

We're not agreed. In a few years, we're gonna be. For a while.

This post looked hilarious in the "new" feed :) Then I realized which came first, and laughed even harder.

Problem this time is, this administration won't reverse the choice when everyone hates it. Not even when the children start dying on the way to school, instead of in it.

That PS thing is so dumb. People really have trouble letting go of the illusion they've been living under for a long time now. Those disks might as well be random hunks of garbage. It be hilarious if PS starting shipping old AOL CDs from a dump instead. They'd probably be more useful and help reduce landfills.

The fading draws attention to the things my brain already knew how to ignore. Less animation is almost always better, no matter what that apple guy said about "design". The only exception is where it corrects for horrible workflow design (99% of things done the "Apple" way).

"Leads" like a lemming.

In the real world, a lower score beats a high one, except that one time.

It was never science. But it was pretty obvious when there wasn't anything left to do. Then people kept changing stuff anyway. You'll never even see the trend go back to windows 95 era UI, because if the masses get that feeling back, they'll murder before they let another style enter their lives.

There's no money in online brands anymore anyway. Who cares if Bluesky, or any other platform, goes south? Just move on to the next thing. Have 2 things at once. Don't use any thing. These platforms don't own you.

Sounds like a good job for AI. Why should humans have to waste their time on it? Accounts that post any should just get banned and deleted.

Social Media isn't the problem, it's algorithmic feeds. Take them away, problem solved.

I should be able to control myself but, I'm kind of glad for the excuse to never go back there.

Nice work! Sadly, had to send a disappointed email.

Why is anyone still touching anything made by these creeps?

Assuming they don't get hit by a car walking to school.

You would have been so much better off just ending on the, already obvious BS, part about how his views aren't the companies. Instead, you went on to downplay the obvious problem.

Mullvad was one of the last products I felt I could honestly recommend, and feel good about. Never falling for this garbage again. The world is complete shit right now.

The plant things was constantly projected by them, so they've definitely done it. That is the whole point of projecting.

PR stunt. They already have raw access to everything anyway.

Is "chip" a standard unit, with a fixed size?

> This is what allows us to advance our common causes. Being in a tolerant and intellectually open environment is also liberating and promotes truth seeking.

Nope, that is what will get you taken over by the assholes. Reasonable defense is necessary in reality. There ARE bad actors, they must be kept out.

They fact they say they're researching it, is THE problem. They know everything you said. This is them saying "just shut up and pay your tuition".

History repeats itself. Or does that only apply to the bad stuff?

It's the front page of HN, what did you expect? Even the title makes no sense.

There are thousands, maybe millions, of alternatives to Whatsapp for that purpose.
