Is there any evidence to suggest that we won't be? I'd argue that's been the status quo for decades now, so I wouldn't expect anything else (as much I hate the current state of aff…

> Healthy adults don't use TikTok or any equivalent. This is a pretty obnoxious comment. You're welcome to your opinion that the apps are harmful, and I'm inclined to agree with yo…

Everything I've gotten from 2tall has fit a bit differently, some are a bit roomier there and some are a bit more restricting. I have to order two different sizes of each top I get…

I'm 6'9" / 206cm, and I've struggled my whole life to find clothing that fits, since I'm slim. If we're sharing links, the two I've been buying from lately are https://tallslimtees…

(1997) is in the title to differentiate it from the 2024 remake of the game; "Riven (1997)" is the typical way it's written. It's slightly ambiguous at a quick glance on HN because…

Hey, I'm the GitHub employee who's working on fixing that right now. The service powering those stats is _ancient_, and it fell over back in September. It's taken longer than I hop…

I absolutely love websites like this that have a ton of information about a very niche topic. No ads or monetization, just someone who put together a very detailed website about so…

They do specify why: https://www.iceblock.app/android They say they'd have to maintain a DB of device info and user accounts to send push notifications, whereas Apple devices do no…

I both agree and disagree with you. I think neurodivergence has become a bit "trendy" lately, and some people have latched onto these labels when they may not be clinically appropr…

I'll start by saying I am not a parent. I attended summer camps as a kid and worked at one for years as an older teenager. I love summer camps. Looking back, part of the magic for …

I'm not sure what comment you meant to reply to, but it certainly wasn't mine, as you have my ideology backwards there.

I feel that this is a very black and white view of the issue. I don't want to see billboards as I drive down the freeway, but I have no choice (in the US) if I need to get somewher…

I'm traveling to Europe right now and had to install WhatsApp, and this absolutely infuriated me. You cannot start new chats with anyone (on Android at least) unless you grant it t…

I think if they make a product, they should support it long-term (within reason of course). Hangouts was great, for example. It could do SMS, voice and video calls, and regular web…

I searched "chicago school consultants russia yeltsin" and found this article [0], which goes into great detail and the parallels are pretty obvious. [0] https://www.thenation.com/…

I'm sick of needing to spend weeks researching which couch or mattress to buy because corporations will happily sell me a terrible couch for $3,000 that only cost them $50 to make.…

That's changing in my corner of the US (suburbs of a large city). Most of the local businesses I've gone to in the past couple of months are adding a 3% surcharge if you pay with a…

Counterpoint: I've been running HAOS on an RPi 2 and 3 for several years without a single issue, and I do use a z-wave dongle but no Zigbee. I only do basic stuff with it (a few au…

I can't comment on all of Chrome's behavior here, but Firefox ignores autocomplete="off" too, and this is noted on MDN [0]. This is because a lot of poorly-managed sites think they…

Not quite the same thing, but several of Rare's N64 games (most notably Banjo-Kazooie) had a planned feature called Stop 'n' Swop [0] that would allow you to unlock things by inser…
