Great tool, good job to the author. I am looking for something almost exactly like this. Lightweight GUI app for viewing tabular data. There's only one critical thing missing for this to be perfect for my desired workflow and that is a

Everyone does thing is stupidly inefficient ways. For example, we need technical drawings of parts, the only way is through a web interface that fetches from some remote server and you can only do one at a time. So you will often see people

You are in charge of what runs on your computer, nobody is forcing you to use Discord. There's no jerk dictating what is allowed to run on your computer, there's someone offering a piece of software that you can willingly install

If two parties are in disagreement, it's useless if they just keep yelling at each other forever and get nowhere. In any debate, people should at the very least be talking about the same thing

At some point you have to stop to reflect: "Wait, Am I really against the idea of people choosing what to see on the Internet" In a world progressively more controlled by proprietary technologies and big corporations this feature

>Yea, who cares about Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Thai. F those languages! Despite your snarkiness, this is a perfectly valid point. If i'm not gonna use certain features in a piece of software, that feature may as well not b

One would think that after going through this you would become more empathetic and understanding of the ordinary citizens side. But no, somehow the takeaway was that discrimination against innocent people based where they're from is OK

Average Americans most definitely benefited from US military shenanigans but that kinda besides the point here I think. The main point is that "just overthrow your government, bro" is not a thing people can go out and just do and

I'm currently studying and trying to learn the russian language and I think this argument is a bit of a straw man. I don't think people in general would suggest you're evil for learning a language. Obviously you would find su

The Gemini guys actually think about this a lot so they're working to make the protocol the least extensible as possible or not extensible at all. They plan to freeze the spec forever after 1.0

I think Firefox is done. Not even the people who are the most enthusiastic about open web, software freedom etc. can be bothered to use Firefox. I still use it but I have a strong impression that a lot of people on HN and other tech spaces

If your business model is no longer profitable then you should go do something else. I'm not obligated to pay for cable when Netflix is cheaper and better. If your family depends on that Cable money to survive, well that's sad but

No need to twist and turn anything. No contract, no obligations whatsoever. It's literally as simple as that. The content provider is free to stop providing the content at any time

by cartesius13 5y ago
I think that the idea that "people would largely stop making content for the web if that weren't ads" is a myth. Sure, the money seeking people wouldn't do it anymore and a lot less people would be able to make a living

by cartesius13 5y ago
If any regulation about ads ever comes into existence it will be against adblockers, making them illegal or something. Or do you happen to have billions and power and influence to lobby like crazy?

You can't. It's some closed source blob that may very well become malware, assuming it isn't already. Use NewPipe instead

by cartesius13 5y ago
I think the point is that putting so many ads on a page to the point of it becoming indistinguishable from a malware infested shit site is a form of abuse to the user. I personally agree with this take, if that's what he meant

Also, replace is maybe not the best word here since a lot Gemini enthusiasts believe some things that are possible on the Web don't need a replacement because we would be better off if they didn't even exist. I also disagree that

by cartesius13 5y ago
My point is that most people using Gemini agrees with this: "It is its own thing with its own community that is entirely complementary to the web, and nothing more" even if they think some parts of the Web can be replaced by Gemin

This is probably the most annoying straw man argument against Gemini. One of the first things you see in their official page is: "Gemini is a new internet protocol which: Is heavier than gopher Is lighter than the web Will not replace
