In your world, everything is okay, we can pretend the latest script kiddie software that flings local URLs around is fine. In your world, since everyone is pretending all the broken stuff doesn't exist (in order to be "civilized"), more broken stuff is made, as the developers have the illusion that garbage status quo is good. This is how HN works. It's hilariously true. Everything people here make is clones of the same terrible concepts like convention over configuration (which make auditing harder and shitcoding easier).

Internet moderation is the single most useless concept ever invented.

I didn't even read your article, I have better things to do. The idea that people are "entitled" in tech is retarded and no spin on your title can make sense. Tech is a sea of festering rot piled up 100 times.

1. One which barely has anything to do with gaming other than having 3 lines of code to store a game identifier with a stream to say which game the stream was mainly streaming. They even have entire streams that do non gaming shit and that's what all the top streamers do most of the time.

In other words, this is outrage porn against streaming services (I think, as like with counter strike go loot boxes[2]. i don't understand your culture though [not that i cant, i just dont care] so I could be entirely wrong). This is no different than when cameras or VHS came out and people complained about piracy and whatever. Whatever political takeaway we're supposed to be getting here is invalid. Twitch is just a streaming site. If I make my own streaming site (which I'll never do, because the web is horse shit), I shouldn't have to hire people to purge gambling on it.

> but you are profiting from them looking at your ads while they gamble

And VHS profited from mass piracy. Get a grip.

2. yeah, loot boxes are fucking cancer, i don't care for making them illegal though as that requires paying more tax and they will just come up with different cancer. you cant fix bad developers

Great sounds like another idiotic thing I can skip.

> * The UI is, indeed, very consistent. All menu operations can be accessed with Alt+( ) combination. This feels very solid and convenient.

This is a feature of all products created by a single entity.

The most insane backward nonsense is that Cloudflare proposed a browser extension to bypass the captcha. Like wtf will HN react if Microsoft suddenly made 50% of the web block russian IPs by default until you install a plugin they provide?

Now the only thing I worry about is how they will gimp IPFS since they are sort of leaning towards it once it or something similar replaces the web? They have to make money somehow. Any solution requires breaking things in such a protocol.

You can't safely paste anything into the shell ever lol. For multiple reasons. It doesn't matter how much visual inspection you do.

1. Your epistemic reasoning capabilities are broken (as in, why do you think people should know better?)

2. You are just adopting an ad-hoc philosophy based on how shells work. If interactive languages had separate text inputs instead of just parsing a stream of text from stdin, pasting would always be safe. One may be tempted to call this "UN*X braindamage".

3. You appear to possibly believe in checking a URL before opening it type voodoo as well, regardless of shell issues

Anyway, shells are dumb and dangerous. A real interactive language should simply have a text box for text. I guess I could write a usual 10 paragraph rant on this but it really is that simple.

1. Day of the seal soon.

Not really, webdev is a pain just as much as making a native Windows app or Go binary. Programming is bullshit all the way down. The moment you try to do anything correct in absolutely any modern software stack or framework, you will have to do a bunch of hacks to indirectly force stuff into doing what's needed for your program to be correct. Of course in practice everyone just skips this part, contributing to the said problem.

> Standards killed that and now you can view your bank account on Linux.

But I literally can't view certain bank websites with Firefox.

Because the web is for hypertext, which means static content. Images, text, video and audio clips, tables, code snippets, etc. Of course even that subset it does unimaginably bad, okay? Interactive web apps fucking suck, so that takes care of that 50%. For the other 50%, which is document viewing, why in the hell would I want pages to be able to move stuff around and create their own custom UIs and color schemes for every document I view? That use case is for magazines, a content-free medium. It's actually hilarious how people think hosting their library documentation on some stupid website like readthedocs.io, or publishing scientific journals behind IP blocklists (aka misconfigured bullshit from some charlatan sysadmin) is "progress".
