It really is true... Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain

Somebody please kill this cancer

We need open-source+extensible and maybe a federated BLOCKS-focused building/game platform alternative (ie LEGO rip) with the best legal team possible so it can blow up without worry

> This is a lie: the facts are simply that the systemd users database has gained an optional "date of birth" field, which the desktop environments may use or not as they deem appropriate. Of course there is no "identity verification" or requirements to provide any data, which in any case would not be shared beyond authorized local applications.

I understand this might lack nuance, but this looks like the setting up of a groundwork for an age verification system

I get and agree the point ( that its the families that should be managing access), but how much further are we willing to allow these circus festival clowns called "politicians" to restrict freedom of access to the internet under the guise of "oh noesss we must protecc teh chillren!!"?

All these acts like Stop child abuse exploitation or COPPA or whatever nonsense, Im sure all of us in the hacker news crowd understand and can agree that its just pretend/fictional names to gather public consensus/approv to furtjet lock down the internet

There's still people out there that believe the west is a "democracy"? People really think voting, elections, politics in general is even real and not a reality show/circus act put on for the masses?

Even after you pointed out specific mistakes, I fail to understand how the writing is indicative of AI over-reliance?

At least on this Materialistic app available on F-Droid, all those comments are flagged and unable to be seen

Its absolutely senseless to take on a position on something when not knowing what's coming from both sides

I'd presume this place to be frequented by those who would also find it similarly foolhardy to be taking a stance on an issue when not all parties are privy to the same objectivity/impartiality (in terms of information and the different sides of the story)

Better make your own powerplant Unsurprising if they steal from the same source as taxpayers' electricity, get subsidized for it because "jobs" (that no one gets), finally resulting in raised bills for the rest

New comment by syeare in "Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us?"

syeare — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 22:59:26 +0000

Is it really the "few people" ruining it for the "rest of us"? Or is it moreso that the "rest" of the people are ruining it for the "few of us"?

The only people who wouldn't agree with what brudgers is saying are obviously people who didn't have bad parents (bad, as in, resorting to any type of abuse because they are incapable of even sorting out their own thoughts and emotions)

A bit of a harsh sentiment, no?

Tbf after reading the article, it doesn't mention why thorium was abandoned in the 50s/60s Article doesn't mention how China's new thorium reactors are different and/or how they extended existing designs

Yeah, true, article doesn't really tell us anything new

Spotted my kin!

What is it that makes slashed zeroes so nuch more appealing than the other kinds of "zeroes"? Slashed zeroes are definitely much better than those nasty dotted inverse donut zeroes

How does a dot in a zero even make any kinda logical sense? It's like a piece of dough floating in midair in the center of a donut

Dotted zeroes [insert copypasta] bad

I don't even know why I'm so obsessed with the slash in zeroes

The actual argument would be people voting with their wallets and moving away from the Apple ecosystem, but this something impossible at least in the USA due to these bullshit "blue bubbles"

Can you iterate on that? I would like to understand what you are saying. By jail time, do you mean advertisers on YouTube have done such a malicious thing? YT did not block these efforts?
