If it was (more) moderated it would just be sterile, boring, and less true to reality. The entire point is to label areas with the most obviously applicable stereotype, and for that it's doing a great job.

are the fonts very green at 1x size (setting at the top) for anyone else? for an extreme example, the dense mesh pattern at the end of "continuous characters" is filled with light green instead of white on my display. just wonderi

I really like the idea but it seems that rule 5. is broken in basically every article that I check, usually very explicitly. For example, on the "Earth" article: "Unlike in our timeline, where Pluto was unexpectedly destroyed

Not sure if this is the same kind of "endless loop" that I've experience on the Cloudflare captcha page; while on a VPN, the only way I can get past the "I am a Human" captcha is to refresh the page and click the ar

CS2 (the topical game of the post) allows for playing exactly how you outlined to be the "ideal" way. however, this method of playing will never* come back to be the most popular way to play the game. so, i don't see the harm

this is my first account, and i understand your perspective. i did sometimes come to HN from 2015 onwards, but not enough to really get a feel for the level of content and conversation that happened. 2015 is still much later than you first

i did read the article but didn't come to the conclusion that "Eternal September" is here. although i don't argue that the quality of posts has gone up recently, i do believe that many of the new users of 2022/202

i mostly lurk HN, and don't post unless i feel like my contribution is useful in some way. from my perspective, it's relieving to see that the number of users has remained mostly constant in recent years. of course it's selfi

Have you looked at DeaDBeeF for a music player that has the foobar2000 aesthetic?

Wow, I just tried those environment variables, and it makes a remarkable difference for the smoothness and fullness for every font. I'll probably be leaving this setting on until something breaks when it gets fixed, and I inevitably sp

It was the small, standard 24px Windows 7 cursor. I was just put off by how I immediately ran into a paid feature within 2 minutes of signing up.

> cursor.png is too big, max 1KB Donate to be able to do up to 5KB cursors. Okay, interesting... I'll just compress the png better. > cursor.png is too big, max 11x17 Donate to be able to do up to 16x21 cursors. Awesome!

I had fun with setting the "throttle_value" variable to something insane, like 30 (1 is the max on the slider), to see how close to c you need to travel at for the web app itself to disintegrate. Apparently, it takes just over two

Oh, that's too bad. I tried them out around a month ago, but decided to stick with Mullvad. Thanks for the correction.

The IVPN client also has this feature, which is another selling point for customers of Mullvad looking for a provider which still supports port forwarding.

You can enable all of the things you've mentioned after applying the patch if you need them. It's mainly targeted for gaming use cases, where security is sacrificed for optimal performance. I found that it improved the responsiven

You could take a look at AtlasOS[0]. It's a patchset made to be applied on top of a fresh Windows 10 22H2 installation, and aims to perform many of the optimizations you've mentioned. I've been using it for about 8 months wit

Funny game, but it seemed to break for me when trying to find a YouTube video of length 4:55. I entered multiple videos of lengths 4:54, 4:55, and 4:56, all while keeping Paul fed, but none of them satisfied the requirement somehow.

My favourite part of Tox is the fact that you don't need to supply any information to start chatting, unlike e.g. Telegram and Signal. Unfortunately Tox is extremely unpopular/unknown compared to those other platforms, so it'

Cool idea, I think Ethereum wallets as accounts have good potential to be an elegant solution to spam/bot prevention. I, too, remember the times when Reddit fostered high(er) quality discussion in almost every thread, so I'll keep

Sorry, I'm not sure how this is related to my comment. All I wanted to say was that the examples the person I replied to listed (xonotic etc.) are good games, just not popular.
