    But at the moment it's cross platform.

    I think the infinite canvas is a key feature, so you couldn't just disregard this to make it into a window manager.

    I don't want to give my ID to every service I interact online. But I also don't think it's reasonable to ask of parents to ensure their children aren't accessing age restricted con…

    If you work to earn a living, you're working class. If you use capital to pay your bills, you're a capitalist. So I'd say someone with that kind of salary and stocks is probably ha…

    Ah I saw it now through another HN submission.

    Of course quitting can be in the cards, but I'd much rather see a successful pushback from meta employees against this new policy; maybe this could be a good cause to form a union …

    In the actual article (not the headline) there is no mention of staff reporting to be unhappy.

    Can you elaborate what the problem is? IMO hosting and search are quite decoupled, why not just search for "open source solution to problem XYZ" in your favorite search engine?

    I agree with the 'setting limits' bit. But also maybe the parent post and you refer to kids of different ages? I didn't have access to a computer until I was 9, and then also we di…

    Thanks for replying that. I think after reading this, I'd go with what was said at the end: “There is no such thing as an unintended consequence” - Amazon claiming that what they'r…

    Individualizing systemic failures to regulate businesses is counterproductive. Meaningful change will only come by regulation. Give me one example, where consumer behavior really c…

    Like other commentators I'd argue that the intentions don't matter much, the outcome does. "The purpose of a system is what it does" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_…

    I really want this to work! But maybe my requests are too niche. It also hallucinated an EP for me. And the bandcamp links never work? Great idea though! I got inspired to listen t…

    Yes, great you're sharing this in a bit of detail! I think I've been using a similar approach to getting solid decisions.

    IMO this is a great example of how we're often asking loaded questions without realizing it. IMO it's the same when we're asking: "Should I implement X from scratch, or import a sm…

    Not sure, but at least a human farmer has the potential capacity to do it. An LLM doesn't, that was the point I was trying to make. The important part is the stuff happening in the…

    Yes I really wish people saying "X is the best place to live in the world" would add where else they have lived, otherwise their opinion is not very useful to me.

    I live in a big continental European city that also has a start-up hub. The companies here are also small, creative, solving problems, but don't necessarily aim for an exit and gro…

    IMO a productivity gain of about x2 seems about right!

    Lol, the farmer also doesn‘t grow corn, their workers in the fields do.

    This is the way. Refactor the law.

    I don't think the VC-based start-up system with pure profit in mind and an exit at some point and then who-cares-about-the-product is something I want to see more of.

    Neat, stuff that makes it easier to find small, independent content is great! Others in the comments also linked aggregators. I think what's missing a bit in the indie web, is a bi…
