Hacker News discourse is of a much higher quality than any other social media website. That said, the priorities of the community is frustrating as a lot of it's driven by venture capital and money. I know it's Hacker News, but th

I wish they would just let Reddit die. I hate it so much. I'm tired of ecosystems. We need to get away from content farms. Get away from shitty monetization driven efforts. Get away from shitty people moderating communities without giv

Not a single mentioned of HTMX[1]. That's a real bummer as it's really the only modern web technology that's getting me hyped. Let's move it all back into HTML. I'm begging you all. Please, let's move back to m

They hate you because you spoke the truth. So much of security is performance or ruining the convenience of things just for the sake of protecting things. It's really frustrating. But hey it's to protect the kids or something &#x2

I'm so sick of modern businesses and their vampire approach on creativity and intelligent property. I see a lot of comments in this thread with what about-isms or "I don't care, we wouldn't miss anything", but these

No it isn't. I cannot tell why I'm seeing this all over Hacker News. A Central Bank Digital Currency solves nothing. It only emboldens and tightens the grip of people in power. By definition it is centralized and forces anyone who

Not to disparage the poster, but these type of comments always come across to me as astro-turfing. At no point has anyone been advocating for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and furthermore the only people who stand to gain from this

This comment adds no value to the discussion. Posting links without elaborating does nothing to engage, and actively diminishes the discussion.

This is such a blasé way of disassociating outcomes from actors and actions. We may live under capitalism, but people are making these choices. We don't have to move in these directions, but people who work at these companies, people w

I mean, I work in this industry and have worked for big companies in Silicon Valley and I freaking hate these companies and people. These companies are all about profits at the cost of degrading living conditions and "disrupting"

You do not speak for me. I want decentralization, self hosting, and the right to repair. The modern technology ecosystem has failed me in every one of these areas.

I bought a Steam Deck to get away from Windows entirely. I'm not a huge fan of Apple for a lot of reasons, so eventually I'm looking to move to a Linux development environment, but at this point I don't think it's ready.

This is so cool. I'm a sucker for card games and e-ink, so to get both in one serving is VERY exciting. Thanks for being an innovator :)

Preach it brother/sister. Everyone is out here treating real estate as an investment and inserting themselves pointless middle-people extracting capital from those who are blocked from entering the housing market or even scaling their

Hard to feel bad for anyone who chose to work at Amazon. I am thrilled at how well compensated software engineers are in America, but frequently it's a short-sighted discussion when talking to my peers about it and a bulk of it is comp

The global dimming feature is insanely good. And it's incredibly easy to use from a development perspective as well. You can simply set the dimming as a percentage value and it hides the world. It's incredibly impressive and to be

Man, you all are some of the biggest haters I've ever seen. I've gotten to wear and use both the Magic Leap 1 and Magic Leap 2. These devices are like wearing technology 15 years into the future. It's absolutely wild seeing w
