I've never seen racists / republicans / right wingers banned from Facebook. However I Have been banned for: - Calling Trump "White Trash" - Suggesting my tax dollars should not be used to fund Israel's genocide

The nature of the apple ecosystem is a boon to consumers, not a hinderance. I don't really give a #$!@$ about your profits as an iPhone developer. I care that google isn't sniffing all of my personal data, that I don't get v

You should know that a company called Phunware, which built Trump's campaign app, received 3x as much CARES stimulus per capita than anybody was supposed to get. If you voted Republican and donated to the GOP you are way more likely

A few years ago Riot Games turned me down for a position I was overqualified for because I’m not a hardcore gamer. I laughed it off because I knew that people who “give a shit” about the gaming industry expect to work 12 hours per day 300 d

I earnestly believe that OS developers and app developers who implement pop-ups or notifications or dialogue boxes would mostly fail the Sociopath test if they were made to take it before being allowed to commit code. This sort of attentio

I can say that Growl and desktop notifications are the very first thing I disable. Not once on 20 years of computing did I ever think: “I want applications to interrupt what I’m doing and steal my limited ADHD focus because they’re lonely a

At the absolute very least every single web browser should have the ability to ask: * if you want to allow the pop-up * if you want to allow a site to open a new window/tab * if you want to allow a site to open a new pop-under window T

It's been 31 years and web browsers are still utter trash. The developers at Safari, Firefox, Chrome and every other browser should be ashamed for allowing Pop-up and pop-under windows to even exist. It's functionality which need

I don’t know about Mozilla or Fedora, but have you ever interviewed with Wikimedia? It’s a circus of insanity. The most bizarre corporate culture ever; and the most psychotic receuiter i’ve ever come across. Whatever they choose, I choose t

I moved the past 3 companies I work with from GitHub to self-hosted gitlab after the Microsoft purchase. When Microsoft bought GitHub, all of the "Developer Evangelist" / "Open Source" evangelist crowd made all of t

What I get from this: The author decided to try and make an inciteful libertarian rant while smoking crystal meth. Is there something I’m missing as to why this is on HN? Was this written by an ai, or is it’s relevance that it name drops Pe

I've found myself in a situation now where I am almost unable to code without being stoned. When I began smoking, I got over more than a decade's of insecurity over being a sysdadmin who couldn't "really code". No

You joke, but I actually prototyped a bgp-friendly api & bgp-driven authoritative DNS service for edge-computing over a weekend while on a cocktail of Mushrooms, MDMA and an incredible amount of bubble-hash. Ultimately I formed a small

Also, when it comes to the stimulus programs, if you made too much $$ then you don't qualify. Even if I had qualified for unemployment, I wouldn't have qualified for the extra $300/week and the $1200 stimulus plans. The only
