The concept is terrible, whether it was done "as benign as it gets" or not. The idea that this kind of bullshit content (that's obviously only written to be a marketing channel) is accepted as normal is exactly why it's

Ffs, can't people just use they editor they want and be happy with it? Does it always have to overcome and take over every other editor? What the fuck does "the new emacs" mean?

I’m curious if there been any mention of AR/VR in sci-fi or popular culture in general in a positive light? Almost all I can think of is dystopian and does not invoke the positive imagery that Fb seems to be playing at. Who’s their tar

Yeah that’s a weird attitude to have, the only reason there are users who feel personally hurt by the attitude Mozilla has been taking for the past few years is because they know things could be going way better. No one is arguing that tele

No. Mozilla is actually helping Google build and maintain a monopoly on search (for money) and is accepting the scraps that Google leaves on the table from the browser market. Mozilla has continuously and repeatedly fucked up when it comes

The one thing that's more annoying than Facebook are the whistleblowers of Facebook (like that frances haugen character, which I'm fairly certain is a spook). Such a cheap and condescending group of people who think they know more

I'm happy that Emacs community doesn't have a lot of those who think that "everything should be easy" and that working hard to learn something is a waste of time by default. Emacs is great with or without your usage of i

Who comes up with garbage naming techniques such is 5D? What the fuck do they expect people to think when they hear that?

Inception level guessing and assumptions you're making all in this thread.

I don't think it's not considered real work by engineers, but by non-engineer product managers.

The point is not in explaining "bad faith", but in explaining how and why the comment you're replying to is "bad faith". Was not clear to me at all that you were being sarcastic.

So should be quoting HN rules without explaining exactly and very specifically how and what you're referencing applies.

I'd agree, but only for journals funded with public money. Otherwise, no, news shouldn't necessarily be free. And this is not "news" exactly. Analysis articles cost money to produce and write, their authors should be all

You're not. That's not what I said. There's nothing wrong with calling someone's behavior (emphasis on "behavior") a bit dickish! We all do it.

Mentioning a moderator is a calling for moderation action. If you just wanted it reposted you could’ve just repost yourself. That would’ve been the actual “additive action”. I’m aware of the practice. Copycats will copy. You could’ve repost

True, and I’m not arguing that this person deserves more (or any) credit than the other, my gripe is with calling for moderation straight up as if he’s almost calling the police. I should’ve made it clear that that is the dickish part imho

The point is not in giving credit, but in taking credit away. All these boards are based on luck. Trying to argue agains why one got up and the other didn’t isn’t constructive. It’s verging on toxic imho

Again, for the millionth time, the issue is not that they had to comply with the law. Stop pretending to misunderstand, all this bullshit is quite obvious. Proton mail lied, and then pretended like they didn’t. They decided it makes sense t

Stop intentionally missing the point. It's not about them complying with the law or not, it's about them promising something that they did not deliver on, regardless of whether they couldn't because they didn't know or t

Lol, dude, you're missing the entire point. I understand it hurts to learn that a company you've been paying turned out not to be what it claims to be, but no one is "tossing around" wikipedia links other than you. And y
