Some of us owned thousands of albums (or movies, or shows) on physical media before the legal streaming party even started. Personally, I also listen to a lot of ad-free college radio and watch a lot of online videos. Depending on what type

I moved all my custom domains to Fastmail five or six years ago and couldn't be happier. My Gmail only exists to catch legacy messages and Google service notifications. I look forward to the day I can completely migrate out of all thei

I worked in community marketing for few rather large software companies. The struggle is real. Almost every CMO I worked for seemed to make it their mission to squeeze any life out of social conversation with actual users and replace it wit

I'm thinking of making one of these for my wife as a holiday present: https://theodore.net/projects/AvianVisitors/ I like the idea of doing something with the timestamp of the recording, or highlighting new (

I would venture a guess that... other... things happening related to Telsa over the course of the couple of years between the announcement and when you could actually buy one had a much bigger impact on sales.

There's also Inkcut, which is the only thing that my old Silhouette will consistently respond to, but it works in Linux and it couldn't be easier to drop in an SVG and have it cut (which is my only use case).

Depending on the retailer, they may have little say in what goes on sale. I work for a retailer and 98% of our promotions are based on what our distributors and producers offer us, whether it directly says manufacturer coupon or whether we

I served two terms on my town's planning commission. It becomes very difficult to foster conversations about how to do something in a way that minimizes negative externalities when both sides come into the room only seeking a "app

I mean, almost by definition half of the time people are going through an airport, it's not their home airport. Probably more than half because people chain trips (and even more than that if you count people with a layover). It would m

Some of this lack of features is self-imposed by Google. Until they allow Gemini to use MCP servers directly, it's hard to be a power user with a Google Watch. I still dream, thwarted by Google, of being able to actually talk to my w

Great question! For me, I met a lot of people through more traditional "serve on a board or commission"-type activity in my twenties. But what I found most enjoyable was hands-on volunteering: stream cleanups, teaching kids bicy

What on earth are you talking about? Billboards are mostly illegal in my county, as they should be. But even if they weren't, this still isn't true. Most of my career, one of my primary jobs has been product selection. That part o

No, the best I will ever be able to do is get someone fined or fired for their actions. The more common scenario is that I waste more of their time than my own.

More like countless CEOs will claim that having to pay taxes on that wealth will destroy society, despite no jobs being created to make the product and the product itself have zero value to society.

Can you point me at the posts where Codeberg was suggesting this? I just ran a quick search of Codeberg-related HN posts from the last year, and while there are some instances of "why I moved my stuff to Codeberg" I wasn't
