The US govt doesn't force censorship of its history, good or bad.

Show HN: An offline, free and ad-free Bible app with study tools

johnjames87 — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 14:07:39 +0000

The idea of this bible app (Thy Word) is to be completely clutter free and self contained, using absolutely no permissions from the phone other than the basic ones. Includes Strong's dictionary for hebrew and greek original, John Wesley's notes on the Bible and the ability to write, save and search for notes you take during sermons. Thy Word is and will always be free, offline and clutter free.

> Until all other short-haul airlines copy them

Like it or not, we live in a market economy with market competition. There are new airlines every year. In 2022 there was a net increase of 13 airlines in europe alone. If people want paper boarding passes, some competitor will give it to them. Always been like that in market economies, and socialists will keep fearmongering about "what one company does" like its the end of the world.

New comment by johnjames87 in "AI isn't replacing jobs. AI spending is"

johnjames87 — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 19:23:24 +0000

Everytime automation replaced jobs the economies created by this replacement always created new jobs that replaced the previous ones. The USA has always been on the forefront of automating away jobs and it's unemployment rates show that new jobs were always created and that there was no long-term unemployment due to automation. AI won't be any different.

I prefer proprietary LLMs that are actually good products - byproducts of free market competition (capitalism), instead of products created from govt initiatives that lead nowhere (good).

> Piers Morgan has no integrity and is extremely biased

He frequently disagrees and argues with right and left wing guests he has on. You can argue that he's wrong, but that he's biased? You either don't know Piers Morgan or you really want to believe that.

Anti-gun Piers Morgan is now right wing.

Even Piers Morgan acknowledged that that "salute" was a "my heart goes out to you" and not a nazi salute, but with the latent tribalism we have in politics, I'm sure you will refuse to even consider that as a possibility. And the comparison with pol pot is just downright dumb. Elon Musk as always been pro freedom.
