Regardless, revealing someone's real name is orthogonal to clicks or ad revenue.

This. HN is so entitled - I want the perfect thing, then complain about them trying to be sustainable.

I was at a peaceful rally in Seattle last night, and a bunch of cops kept closing in and started shoving people.

That's a good discussion, but improving the model and sustaining the institution are orthogonal. I do agree though that a lot of the problems are structural and systemic - that also does not negate the public's negative outlook to

News is not perfect, just like any other platform or business you use is not perfect. I think paying for news and not reading all of it are orthogonal. If you don't like curation, RSS is still solid.

Do you ask for per-movie pricing from Netflix?

The different is that in the 90s, there was no clear evidence for pessimism about the future. The same is not true now. Standard of living for most Americans is actually bad right now - trillions of student loan, no prospect of home ownersh

False optimism about the future from older generations is nothing new - been happening for years now

No my upstream is Cloudflare. Weirdly, I trust them.

That's awesome and I've tried nextdns and loved it. But - and this is just me - I just don't trust anyone to delete my logs or not log in the first place. That's why I'll probably not move off of my pihole

Why should I give the benefit of the doubt to a billionaire autocrat who had done objectively more global harm than good?

For that reason, I mostly get books from not the most legal sources, and then buy a copy from a local bookstore. I either donate that book to a library or give it to a friend as a gift. I get what I want while supporting a local bookstore a

Here's mine: Jekyll blog with no js. Git push to my home server [1]. It runs in a docker container with a watch. The simplicity means adding a tor proxy in front was as easy as running another container. [1] https://goel.io&

If Rogan is MSM, then Spotify killing the open RSS ecosystem is even worse that I thought.

Since when is thinking about others you work with called "political correctness"? I go to work to do my job and get a paycheck, ideally without drama. I don't give a day's ass about your MAGA hat.

Seems like people in this thread want an E2EE alternative. May I mention https://standardnotes.org/ . It's a very well built notes app, cross-platform. The dev team makes really solid decisions (they say no more than an

I would recommend looking at Standard Notes. It's paid only but it's so worth it.

If this sets a precedent to sue say the telcos or banks or oil companies, I'm all for it.

I use ovh (although the tor network is saturated with ovh) and https://tor-relay.co ; literally takes 5 mins after vm is provisioned. Here's a giant list of hosts you can look into - https://community.torproject.

True although it's getting better every day. I do use it frequently and do run a few relays, and that's probably the only way to improve it.

I would be surprised if many of the common public believed that warrantless searches of anyone are reasonable, while exempting federal elected officials from the same law. Now's a good time to call you senator (if they voted against th

Tesla has said that employees that feel uncomfortable can stay at home, but that will be unpaid.

It's great that they are promising that, but I'm just going to leave this here: https://www.thedrive.com/news/26727/tesla-had-3-times-as-man... Tesla Had 3 Times as Many OSHA Violations as the 10 Largest

Woohoo been waiting for this for months. I host pihole on a home server in a docker container and spend 5 mins a month just updating it. No other administration. Definitely use it to get rid of trackers and ads. (I should add that I also pa
