I find that people in the HN community either can't detect sarcasm (on the spectrum) or are intentionally being dishonest. Not camp you fall in, tbh.

They say Twitter has 'harmful content' and then move to Bluesky???? Bluesky has some of the worst images and content I've ever seen on the Internet. People regularly talk about murdering government officials and threatening p

I could also say the Linux desktop creators are the problem as well. It's so buggy, it makes it impossible for me to switch.

"If you’re largely getting your news from Twitter, you might not even know that Trump is unpopular, because you wouldn’t even see a lot of the backlash." You can't go anywhere without seeing someone say something bad about Tr

This is turning into the hunt for Nazis...where they convicted a 90 year old typist that didn't reject the regime at 13 years old.

On Facebook, I've seen some artists/graphic designers railing against AI. Companies don't care if you created it or if they can use AI for 90% less money and time an create something that works. When software piracy destroyed

This actually isn't that bad when you consider Amazon added 400,000 employees in 10 months.

Boo hoo. Maybe all of the piracy advocates should be forced to pay a tax too. Funny how when the roles are reversed, copyright infringement becomes a threat that needs to be taxed, instead of 'freedom'.

A bit of a reach. Epstein knew everyone with money. Why nothing about Bill Gates? He tried to dose his now ex-wife and clearly was involved with underage girls.

The answer isn't to force yourself to do something an LLM can do. It's to let the LLM do some of the work and you focus on things that it can't.

"The Trump administration has held covert meetings with fringe separatists from Canada’s oil-rich province of Alberta as a rift deepens between Washington and Ottawa." Not very 'covert', now is it. The President mostly m

All of the proof is most likely gone. Most judges threw out any of the court cases and election offices stalled the investigations.

The same could be said about the mass adoption of open source. Why hire an experienced coder to create project X, when you can just use an open source project and hire cheaper and less experienced coders to make updates? I've been part

The same thing happened when higher level languages were introduced and developers didn't need to use assembly. I also saw it happen with JS frameworks/front-end development. By avoiding AI you might be out of a job one day withou

I've been active in the bug bounty community for almost 7 years now. The problem is that the majority of companies don't act in good faith. Even when you have something fully exploitable and valid, they will many times find some w

It will explain to me your thought process and why you might think completely controlling a community, down to the type of personal projects posted, isn't considered fascist. Especially when the community wasn't asked.

Slop bug bounty reports have always been an issue. Sites like HackerOne have a triage team that's supposed to filter through the garbage, before it gets to program management. On the other side of it, I've submitted reports that a

"I was happier when I could just write it myself without thinking about token subscriptions. I liked writing code." We may eventually see all dev work shifted in this way. It will become a different job altogether.
