I think the infinite canvas is a key feature, so you couldn't just disregard this to make it into a window manager.

I don't want to give my ID to every service I interact online. But I also don't think it's reasonable to ask of parents to ensure their children aren't accessing age restricted content online. What about liquor shops or

If you work to earn a living, you're working class. If you use capital to pay your bills, you're a capitalist. So I'd say someone with that kind of salary and stocks is probably halfway to not-working-class. If you already ha

Ah I saw it now through another HN submission.

Of course quitting can be in the cards, but I'd much rather see a successful pushback from meta employees against this new policy; maybe this could be a good cause to form a union over.

In the actual article (not the headline) there is no mention of staff reporting to be unhappy.

Can you elaborate what the problem is? IMO hosting and search are quite decoupled, why not just search for "open source solution to problem XYZ" in your favorite search engine?

I agree with the 'setting limits' bit. But also maybe the parent post and you refer to kids of different ages? I didn't have access to a computer until I was 9, and then also we didn't have tables and smartphones, so the

Thanks for replying that. I think after reading this, I'd go with what was said at the end: “There is no such thing as an unintended consequence” - Amazon claiming that what they're doing is to the benefit of consumers is bullshit

Individualizing systemic failures to regulate businesses is counterproductive. Meaningful change will only come by regulation. Give me one example, where consumer behavior really changed anything. Usually what follows from large boycotts is

Like other commentators I'd argue that the intentions don't matter much, the outcome does. "The purpose of a system is what it does" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_wha... )

I really want this to work! But maybe my requests are too niche. It also hallucinated an EP for me. And the bandcamp links never work? Great idea though! I got inspired to listen to some stuff by it, even though it wasn't really what I

Yes, great you're sharing this in a bit of detail! I think I've been using a similar approach to getting solid decisions.

IMO this is a great example of how we're often asking loaded questions without realizing it. IMO it's the same when we're asking: "Should I implement X from scratch, or import a small library to do it?" vs "Sho

Not sure, but at least a human farmer has the potential capacity to do it. An LLM doesn't, that was the point I was trying to make. The important part is the stuff happening in the physical world.

by fhennig 8mo ago
Yes I really wish people saying "X is the best place to live in the world" would add where else they have lived, otherwise their opinion is not very useful to me.

I live in a big continental European city that also has a start-up hub. The companies here are also small, creative, solving problems, but don't necessarily aim for an exit and growth at all costs, many of them want to create a sustain

IMO a productivity gain of about x2 seems about right!

Lol, the farmer also doesn‘t grow corn, their workers in the fields do.

This is the way. Refactor the law.

I don't think the VC-based start-up system with pure profit in mind and an exit at some point and then who-cares-about-the-product is something I want to see more of.

Neat, stuff that makes it easier to find small, independent content is great! Others in the comments also linked aggregators. I think what's missing a bit in the indie web, is a bit of curation. I think, it'd be great if we had so

I don't think that's universal, I don't have a negative association with it.

There is no where to go to, if you still want to use a smartphone. They all do this. Regulation is the way to go!

But it was easier to distinguish with the blue background, don't you agree? So why remove the blue background then? It just feels deceptive, does it not feel deceptive to you?

> This makes no difference Every step in the wrong direction makes a difference, and IMO it makes sense to keep saying that it's wrong. Throwing your hands in the air and saying "oh well, we're fucked anyways" doesn&#

We really need more competition in the smartphone space. I think everyone hates this stuff.
