Yeah, actually, I would. Since HN doesn't provide a "delete account" feature, why don't you do everybody a favor and just ban this account?

I've been a moderate in 1995. At no point did I buy into ideology that we currently associate with the alt-reich.

You call it self-censorship. I call it opsec. In case you haven't noticed, we don't live in a "liberal democracy". We live in a police state, where anything you say or write can be held against you, and you're lucky if it happens in a court of law.

If this is really the problem conservatives claim it is, there's a simple solution: Get a backbone and delete your social media accounts. Most platforms (unlike HN) provide account deletion functions (though some keep them well-hidden).

If you get kicked off social media, the mods are doing you a favor.

Wasn't David Brin the author who wrote about Switzerlad getting nuked in Earth because they helped rich pigs avoid taxes?

When somebody asks you about passion, they're asking you if you're willing to work unpaid overtime. Case closed.

You'll have to pry my Slackware desktop from my cold dead hands.

Who do rich people expect everybody else to buy their products if they're broke after paying down student loans, paying rent, and paying all the other bills?

Henry Ford figured this out a century ago. What's your excuse?

You still haven't learned to spell "loser", and you have yet to learn patience. You've still got a long way to go.

Good. Let's kill off browser fingerprinting and third-pary JavaScript, too. Adtech delenda est.

Sure, YAML sucks. But so do XML (remember that?) and JSON. CSV sucks, too. I think the real question is which format sucks less.

Considering all of the malfeasance we've seen on the part of companies providing data-hungry web apps, I'm going to pass on using Slack for anything I'm not required to do in order to keep getting a paycheck. My professional diary is too important to me to trust to Slack, or to any cloud application.

I read it, and I lurked in the thread in question. It looks more like HN called you out on your bullshit. Why do you even need a SPA for a blog? Who are you trying to impress?
