I never thought I'd see FidoNet again.

Did you even read the article? They explicitly point out that it was the learned class that was so busy with their other important things that they missed all of it. The whole thin…

They got an estimate for the audit on expired copyrights and media use and though "fuck it". Probably going to monetize and re-release cleared highlights at a later date.

There really is no such thing as 'gamers', any more than there are 'movie-goers' or 'streamers'. Everybody does it. Some demographics will love to tribe up just for the sake of it.…

Linking a block of ice to colonization is so 2023.

I've been online since the late eighties and over time I've seen some nasty NSFL stuff. I am absolutely certain this has shaped my world view to some degree. Like some other GenX-e…

I wonder what they were all doing. Their special apps, like the iWatch, are below par and they are pretty much the last service that doesn't offer HQ audio. AI does most of the edi…

Drykorn actually has a line of designer clothing made from sports materials.

It's marketing, done well.

I'm grateful for this. It's a good incentive to finally quit Reddit completely. It's pretty much down there with Facebook these days but so far I've kept scanning it out of habit. …

So, I did exactly that and got a recommendation of up to 10lb per 100 sq feet, which is over 4kg/9sq meter, off the first hit.

I'm fairly sure a mode of transportation that can carry thousands and doesn't fall out of the sky when something fails has other benefits, even if the fuel/passenger ration should …

I'm looking into making a house sustainable right now and the windows are actually a point of contention. One side thinks super-high insulated (triple pane) windows are a waste of …

In the last ten years there has been a significant change in mainstream content from information (what) to personalities (who). A major driver has been the adoption of social media…

Actually: Yes.

How is this HN?

I'm kinda disappointed how Hacker News derailed into a mob mentality towards the metaverse concept because big evil Facebook touched it. I, for one, celebrate the new age beyond te…

Cool studies. He sure came a way from his earlier "human component motion platform" (AKA "have your buddies lift and shake you while in VR")
