Mostly incorrect. The First Amendment limits the US government, not Ofcom or UK courts. UK law can regulate services with “links to the UK” even if the provider is abroad, and Ofcom’s enforcement does not itself abridge anyone’s US constitu

> BBC Weather’s homepage is a content-rich page. Users have a reason to be looking at it and to be looking for an extended period of time. Most of that rich content is obstructed by them bloody cookie warnings, on first visit. That’s no

They keep announcing "design improvements" but whenever I check all I see is an ugly, dated UI I just can't consider serious. Can't be.

This is just an ad basically. Right?

Upgrading the UI from year 2000 and improving the UX would incite me to consider Zulip as a potential alternative. Bashing a competitor in a blog post does not.

Your post reads to me as if you thought all users shared the same exact needs as you do That’d be quite an ignorant POV to take on IMO

OK, but am I the only one finding Kagi "super" slow comparing to other search engines? It takes like a good full second to load the results…

It really doesn't. In my experience Swiftfin on ATV is at least ten years behind Plex in terms of functionality, reliability, codec support, UI polish and overall UX.

Sorry, I'm being serious, what's the "polished" part referring to? I've checked Zulip out a few weeks back and it's just the same outdated, quirky look and feel.

You are right on this one. TIL how big Croydon actually is! Thanks!

Same stats, different angle. It can be explained both ways.

Most of Croydons reputation is down to crime rate mate. Overall third highest in London and especially significant and growing in the violence against the person category.

OK, I can see now how you might think the pricing of Mac applications for professionals is crazy. I asked for a Photoshop alternative for a commercial setting and you basically linked me to a Gimp. It's like when people ask for an alte

Which free apps accomplish the same and more than the mentioned $30 app? I annotate screen grabs daily as part of my job and never found anything that comes close to CleanShot X. Would love to hear what's new and worthy on the market!

Very much so. I've learnt over the years that HN folk often regard 60 hour weeks as 'normal' and will defend to the death someone's right to voluntarily crunch even more over a long period of time as long as they get pai

The content is highly customised and targeted to one's liking. I've never seen any of the types you mention, besides an occasional pro-China fake news propaganda haha. This is not to say TT doesn't contain such content, but i

“All the movies an average person would know” — they’re all still available “to rent” from every major provider. No need to Google anything? I think you’re confusing stream-all-you-want for a monthly fee vs pay-per-view providers.

Yes, exactly this. Purchasing a DVD is priced differently for a) home use only, b) public screening, c) lending/circulating to public I don’t think a library would sign up to Kanopy if it wasn’t somehow more attractive to them over DVD

I’m laughing at the replies to your comments lol. Didn’t you know that while all your statements might be subjectively correct, it’s only the Brits themselves allowed to moan about how much their country sucks, haha.

Many US websites do this already with the EU+UK — can’t be bothered with the European privacy laws, so simply deny access. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44248448

I’ve been thinking of switching to a different operator for a while and this is the last drop. But so now, what’s left on offer if I exclude those associated within the Mobile UK group?
