Yeah, kind of a bummer. There are some cool ideas that have been implemented in nostr, but everything has that bitcoin/zap hussle.

Slightly off topic, but it feels cyberpunk to me in a way. In those stories, everybody always has their own bespoke technology stack: NullVoid added the traffic cam feed to his HUD…

I am, too, and it got me thinking... why? And I realized that I've tried to be polite in all my interactions my whole life and I'm not going to practice being terse and commanding …

UT99 was the first real FPS experience I had. My friend invited me to a LAN party (also first time), and the whole thing was mind blowing. People all over the house shouting and la…

The game Grounded almost has that feel, but it's open world. There's another game called Hypercharge:Unboxed that is definitely giving me the feeling of those old UT maps, but I ha…

This is also my theory. For children, lots of stuff in their lives is new and noteworthy, so they're making new memories all the time. Therefore, time seems slower because they hav…

Could you explain that just a bit more? I'm trying to figure out how to adapt my personal workflow to jujutsu and this is the part that confuses me. I think it's me not understandi…

I'm a fan of the "aliens are demons" and "the water is holy" (you know, because he's a priest) interpretation. It's a stretch, but makes the water fit into the story better (in my …

I flew from Ramichaap to Lukla (Nepal on Tara Air) earlier this year and GND PROX was flashing on the screen the entire time. I thought it was funny and took a photo. The terrain a…

Sort of! https://thevirtualfoundry.com Not directly extruding it, but the end result is metal.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but timers ("hey siri, set a timer for 10 minutes") is the most common thing I use a voice assistant for. Works great, though.

Yerba mate is my caffeine of choice and I suggested it to my Dad who gets bad migraines. He claims that when he feels a migraine coming on, he can drink a can and it will result in…

I don't know if they were stock sounds, or just lifted from the game, but so many bad shows use the police radio and fire engine siren from SimCity 3000.

I, personally, would find this very helpful if git did it by default. I learned git by searching for "how do I?" stuff. Now I know how to do things, so I don’t go looking. It's pos…

I'll be honest, having lots of stuff in github is convenient for looking for projects. Like, I need something that does X, and search engines offer the same results for pages and p…

My kei truck is actually a replacement for my Tacoma (had to sell it because it was starting to fall apart). I wanted something to fill the gap. It's always nice to have a truck be…

Everybody likes to laugh at google+, but circles were the most intuitive and useful abstract for sorting social groups that I have ever used.

I'd really like to see a video of someone using Sam. I sort of understand the concepts individually, but I don’t see how they come together in a fluid way for actual programming. A…

I hope you don't mind me asking for info, but how beefy is the vps? I can't find minimum specs for these frontends, and that would help me know if I have enough spare power at home…

I know all things cryptocoin are anathema here on HN, but one of the stated goals in the satoshi whitepaper was enabling micropayments. I don’t want to give my credit card info out…

I don't know how accurate or up-to-date this list is, but it seems like a reasonable place to start. It's an attempt at mapping subreddits to places in the fediverse. https://brows…

My Grandfather worked at the Forestry Service and would come home with reams of used type paper (filled with statistics and reports, I assume). My grandparents would put the paper …

I just do not understand the love for the ribbon. It's a junk drawer of icons and if you don't already have an idea of what your feature "looks like" and roughly where it lives spa…

That...actually makes good sense. No mention of coins or magic money. Just a good use for a persistent shared ledger. I guess the devil is in the implementation details. Still an i…

These comment threads about covid drive me nuts. At times more people were dying _per day_ from covid than died from the terror attack on 9/11, but there has been far more long ter…
