Re:Get your loved ones off Facebook on Monday May 22, 2017 @03:29PM (#14396270)
It's amusing and sad that you honestly think leaving Facebook is the same thing as cutting people out of your life.

I've been Facebook free for several years now. It feels great, and I didn't have to cut anyone out of my life to do it (who I wasn't otherwise already communicating with). Much less noice, more productive, both in my life and in my relationships.

Re:NoScript is harmful and promotes malware on Sunday October 02, 2016 @09:41PM (#12625164)
The article never substantiates the claim that "NoScript is harmful". They talk about NoScript's website serving questionable software, not NoScript itself.

> Ask HN: When should you quit?

You should quit when you write up a post like this and submit it to HN.

Go take a well deserved break to find yourself. Meditate, or do activities that you feel are meditative.

If you need a place to stay and rest, look to your friends/family.

If you have a business that needs to be taken care of, either sell it or hire someone to take over things like customer support, etc.

If you're feeling burnt out it means you need to take several months off because you haven't been taking care of yourself or doing the things that energize you.

I wish you the best of luck.
