Re:Defund the Police meets the crime wave on Friday December 10, 2021 @12:41AM (#29506801)
for every story of heroics there are 10^n times as many of bad experiences ranging from petty issues to brutality. police do not only not serve and protect, they frequently actively harm the communities they patrol

anecdotal counter-evidence will not be taken as a valid argument, either - just because you know cops that haven't either harmed you or claim to not have harmed anyone unjustly doesn't make policing as a whole less morally reprehensible

Re:Show HN: Open-Source Auth for NextJS / React on Sunday November 28, 2021 @03:10PM (#29372450)
Been working on a webapp on-and-off using Kratos for a bit and it is a massive relief to be able to delegate the hard parts of authentication to something else.

My only real pain points are the docs and the JS SDK - the docs can be rough depending on what you're looking at, and the SDK has no documentation at all. I get that it's automatically generated, but it's enough of a pain to figure out that I resorted to just making the HTTP requests myself.

you'd likely then have to pay a little micropayment for every site you go to, which would mean you'd be paying more for slower connections to a small collection of sites, which is not a great user story

can't imagine this is good for people on slow / no connection - the example given is for something that already obviously requires internet, but it's no panacea for slow updates
