This is so very cool. Honestly the only exciting thing I've seen on HN in a long while. I love bowling but it's so damn expensive in my country. Looking forward to updates on this :)

....are you being dense on purpose? Just because something takes time and effort to learn doesn't mean it was monopolised and undemocratised lol. It's the natural course of things, and I cannot believe I have to explain that to yo

I'm a 30 year old and I have a similar experience. Facebook has almost always been a pleasant experience for me - not just updates from friends but also the new stuff that comes in the feed, which is why I kept getting confused about t

My blood always boils a little whenever I read about Netflix's "Not second-screen enough" business model. What shitty point we've enshittified to, where we prioritise passive slop consumption over active enriching one. A

Your priority (in this comment atleast) is about the finger-pointing, while the parent's priority is wanting a fix to the issue at hand.

Then you should take a better look. Each local ISP has their own self-designated territory or "area". They don't let any other ISPs establish themselves in their areas, beating them up or cutting their wires if they try - you

Nope, not at all. Not only are most of these features unavailable, getting anything "business-related" done (apart from the template they offer you) is a huge pain.

I shifted to Telegram a few years ago, and it was such a rich experience for me. Off the top of my head: - much much better performance - a good desktop client - open source message clients - scheduling messages - better search - many small

I think that's surprising... why wouldn't you consider it a scam? Hell, even a malware? Honey does the following: - Stealing the commission from an affiliate link assigned to someone else - Cutting itself a commission by inserting

I agree. That is quite painful and is obviously motivated to force people towards premium, which I highly disagree with. I think such actions should be regulated though I don't know if that can legally happen. >I feel bad for conten

I use revanced, smarttube, and yt-dlp. but I also have premium, because it is an exceptional service. It's about 2 things 1. the principle. You get something, you pay for it. 2. the practicality. Youtube cannot run on fumes. It needs t

HN and in general the software community has a hate-boner for Microsoft, it is almost tradition at this poin. While the hate is valid in many cases, I've observed that the cribbing about it has also been unwarranted or unjustified a lo

I think you maybe taking it in the wrong context. There was a hype for discord about 5 years ago for EVERYTHING - discord servers were made for every little thing and there was little to no objection about it. But in recent times, I have se

>Sure, we've all studied the Mexican-American war (1846-1848) and Cambodia, Iraq, Vietnam, Cuba, and 50 other known instances with more than a few of them in this decade itself. Given how good the US is at the sort of foreign meddli

I think it has to do with the desire to consume organic content. We're currently live in an SEO-optimised hell where everything is monetized. Years of wading through this swill has subconciously made us seek out spontaeneous, unplanned

investors are simply off-setting the losses to the next investor they sell to. Musk brand is still valuable and his bubble keeps growing. It is only the investors present when the bubble bursts that'll be at a loss. You only need to gr

Exactly! The third-party apps used to load everything seamlessly. Whatever it's coded in, the back-end of reddit is pretty robust and well-done (maybe excluding the video hosting part and whatever new laggy crap they put in) It's

One thing is that the rigid terrific schedule of the modern-day residency program was designed by a cocaine addict who made the structure to fuel and hide his addiction, so all doctors start out with a skewed sense of normal working hours.

"No one wants full anonymity unless they are criminals, and we don't want customers as criminals" is a yikes. I don't mind the financial misplay(?), the possibly unsustainable diversification, the lil bit of corporate hy
