Systemd seems prime for a rethink like X11 has received with Wayland. I hope that systemd becomes the next target for cross-distro development and collaboration once Wayland has settled in a bit more.

I'm sorry to hear that. Where I live actually has the opposite; there are ~6 within a mile, and they're usually completely full. People are always dumping huge collections into them, to where I never even have the chance to give b

While we're sharing AI generated videos, IGORRR's ADHD music video [0] is definitively art, zero question about it. I don't think typing a prompt in and taking the output as it comes is art -- good art, anyway (the point-and-

I've noticed a funny tendency among some Fediverse passionates to have strong feelings about how others should be using it. Author says "We could not both be right," but that's rather antithetical to the value propositio

I'm reading HN on my laptop outside, and a ladybug landed on my screen right as I was reading this comment. It's sitting there as I write this. I know this doesn't contribute to the discussion in any way but it's so neat

I see what you're getting at, but I think a better framing would be: there's an implicit understand amongst humans that, in the case of things ostensibly human-created, a human found it worth creating. If someone put in the effort

Assuming the issue with old reddit is font & element size, does zooming in with Ctrl+ not solve the problem?

David Duchovny has never written a blog post about the identity of Jack the Ripper. Coincidence?

I think it's (partially) because the link is mainly a video; there isn't a mention of those things in the site text either. Perhaps the submission should have [video] so as to be clear about what the main content is.

This hits awfully close to home -- my parents made a decent income growing up, but it was an endless cycle of buying nice houses and cars only to sell them a few years later, and somehow there was only ever barely enough for food and other

The issue is that the article is excessively verbose; the time you saved in writing end editing comes at the cost of wasting readers' time. There is nothing wrong with using AI to improve writing, but using it to insert fluff that came

I get the sense the author has a very specific example in mind (something less hypothetical than black belts) that they're very carefully not spelling out. But they fail to abstract their grievance into a general principle that holds w

Would everyone agree with that definition, though? It seems like discussions around DEI tend to go in circles, because proponents see bad implementations as not really DEI, and opponents see good implementations as not really DEI either. I

One of my favorite quotes, and why I don't bother trying to explain psychedelic experiences any more - "To him who has had the experience no explanation is necessary, to him who has not, none is possible."

What would you consider to be truly politically neutral, then? Because it seems we're in agreement that a decision to "refer to all trans people using they/them" would not fit the bill. But whether it's politically

Just want to say I appreciate you publicly taking this stance (on what appears to be a non-throwaway account, no less). As a fellow LGBT person I feel so alienated from other progressive-leaning people and communities because of my belief i

There's a wide range between factory farming and vegetarianism. Moderate, humane farming and lower-but-not-zero meat consumption is a perfectly realistic alternative to the extremes.

Be warned, 'seemingly' is a key word there. I have picked up eight TVs up from alleys over the past few years and each has had a broken screen only visible when plugged in. I have no idea how people are breaking so many TVs.

It really is lovely. I had the same thought about refining interactions a bit -- I would also suggest Meadow by Might & Delight as an example of nonverbal communication done well.

Try searching something and sorting results by most recent. If you then change the upload date filter (e.g. from 'this month' to 'last hour') you'll get completely different results...

You can't respond to fresh comments in a back-and-forth on HN, there's a delay of a few minutes before the reply button shows up when many comments are being posted in quick succession. (or maybe it has to do with depth? unsure)

If the subject matter weren't somewhat baffling in the first place the edits and deletions certainly didn't help. FYI for anyone reading this (not directed at you specifically): the 'delay' option in profile setting adds

I'm trying to understand but struggling -- so it is specifically the phrase "one of the only" that bothers you, but the example of "only five minutes late" is acceptable? And the issue is that "only" in th

Is your objection to the use of 'only' to refer to multiple things, or specifically the phrase "one of the only"? Would you consider "I am only five minutes late" to be valid? (edit - for the record, this was i
