HN is the last one that I haven't dropped, but that's because this site doesn't seem to have a "delete account" option. It's like the Hotel California. You can logout, but you can never leave. The only way out

These people need to be made to watch Pet Semetary until they figure out why their prayers are better off unanswered.

Why is a child that young on the internet in the first place? Nobody under 13 should have access.

I have the right to fix the bug because I can fix it. Power is the only right that counts in this world.

I think Zain Amro mentioned Hugo as one of the tools he has used.

It looks like the person behind https://zainamro.com/ can't be bothered to provide a navigation menu on every page, or even a link back to their site's home page, so they'd probably dismiss your question out

"We don’t care. We don’t have to. We’re the Phone Company." --Lily Tomlin https://snltranscripts.jt.org/76/76aphonecompany.phtml It used to be funny because it was true. The problem is that it's still tr

I use the "Blacklist Blocker" app for Android, which is available via F-Droid[1]. I have a very short whitelist of numbers from which I am willing to accept calls or texts, and everything else goes straight to /dev/null.

Thanks. That'll make things a little easier for BSD newbies getting familiar with make.

This would be a great introduction if it specified at the top that it pertained to GNU make. I had suspected as much, but I wasn't able to confirm for sure until I got to the end and saw that you linked to the GNU make manual for furth

I'm glad the author specified that this is mainly for GNU make, because I suspect that if I tried most of these using OpenBSD make I would have a bad time.

If I remember correctly, multi-user computing as a public utility was one of the goals of the Multics[1] project in the 1960s. After Bell Labs dropped out of Multics, some of the people working on Multics decided to take what they had learn

I'd like to use BCHS[1] next time around. https://learnbchs.org/ I want something that's simple, and reasonably secure by default so that if the crap I build turns out to be insecure, it's my own damn fault.

If I start seeing ads on Netflix, I'll cancel my subscription without a second thought. The product placements are obnoxious enough.

When I buy shit, it shows up in my bank statement. I don't need or want an email from you. Nor do I give a shit about your mailing list unless it's one in which I can participate by posting replies. Broadcast mailing lists can fuc

What is "Paradise" and why does it matter? This post provides no context.

I have no sympathy. As far as I'm concerned, all automated email is spam. If it didn't come from a person you care about, it isn't worth your time.

I use Fastmail myself, but I just automatically delete everything that doesn't come from a whitelisted address.

Removing all politicians and pundits from Twitter is a good start, but we should go further. Kick them all off Facebook and every other platform. Kick them off TV and radio. Don't give them an inch of print. Let them have nothing but s

The lesson I learned is "avoid depending on Google for anything ," and as soon as the PinePhone is a viable option I'm ditching my Android phone so I can nuke my Google account and finally be free of these union-busting scum
