> you're gonna carry those two Steam Decks in your pockets? Watch me! My point was more about how expensive phones are. I'm not so sure about modern smart phones being less fragile…

I always have a hard time swallowing the price of modern smart phones. Having something so ridiculously expensive and fragile as an everyday carry seems absurd to me. For reference…

I'm torn. I'm not a huge fan of ads and I don't have a lot of respect for the modern ad networks. However this culture of expecting websites to host the data then freeloading off i…

Ah interesting, I remember this being a feature of Google Play Music 10 years ago as well. Nice to see they kept it around.

I just use Plex hosted on a Raspberry Pi, and Plex Amp. I download mp3s from Bandcamp/wherever, and use beets [0] to auto-tag. EDIT: FWIW, I don't recommend most people host their …

Yeah, there's something about Honeypot (or I guess CultRepo now) documentaries that rub me the wrong way. Sometimes it feels like an over-glorification of the subject matter, somet…

> arguments put forth by the mainstream Who are the mainstream? Can you give me a reputable source that you think I should trust over the NIH/NCBI/CDC?

I represented your claims accurately in the first two bullet points in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45071647 The first bullet was from your now-deleted/flagge…

Almost everything you said was incorrect. > Don't give me some bullshit convoluted argument about potentially improved outcomes for people getting the vaccine. Ah there it is. See,…

I represented your claims exactly as you presented them. You've moved your original goalposts so much I may as well be replying to a different user. > I'm not taking bullshit from …

So, we moved from: * CDC was forcing everyone to get the vaccine to * Biden failed to force everyone to get the vaccine to * The DOD added COVID-19 vaccines to the Joint Regulation…

Please share with me the article where Biden attempted but failed to literally break into my house and force a vaccine into my and my children's veins while we were sleeping.

Sorry, but this is an awful strawman argument.

Every reasonable politician agree illegal immigration is illegal. But you're conflating immigration with illegal immigration in your comment, for some reason. > Any immigration at …

The CDC is and always has been unable to force anyone to get a vaccine. You might be confusing the CDC with your elementary school principal.

I was really close to getting a Framework earlier this year, but ultimately landed on a Thinkpad T14 Gen 5 because at the time, the price gap was significant (the Thinkpad was $250…

Zero chance that Trump's response to this won't be blaming Biden.

That's the community edition. Cute and snarky comment, though.

> When did you last touch java, before 2000? August 22, 2025. Local environments are not literally tied to IDEs, but they effectively are in any non-trivially sized project. And th…

Reminded me of this classic talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9pEzgHorH0

Absolutely no on Java. Even if the core language has seen improvements over the years, choosing Java almost certainly means that your team will be tied to using proprietary / enter…

It's been a while since I used my ST3 license, but I remember my license affording me all updates for ST3. Maybe that model was unrealistic for ST4, but as others have echoed in th…

I mean that they solved the funding model that pays the bills of their employees, not that they solved becoming the most widely used text editor in the world.
