At the risk of being reductive, isn't this just the argument for emacs/vim?

Like a lot of things, society would probably benefit if we had caps on how much a single entity could own.

I agree with you about assets being for sale (if someone wrote a big enough check I'd sell my house right now) and commercial not trumping non commercial, but there was, at least f…

It's an interesting example. People did very similar things during the "desktop shell modification" scene in the early 2000s, by far the most common thing people modified their des…

Yes, you're right, it would have been more specific to talk about the user/root distinction that people claimed would save you from all sorts of things.

I mean, even only considering bombing raids, more people were killed during the various fire bombing campaigns against japanese cities and so on, granted those took 1000 planes ins…

I was using one as a way to search for recipes/ideas and I was really quite depressed when the thing replied with "I would recommend...". No, you wouldn't because you're a fucking …

"See the didn't even stop this thing why do we have a government at all!!"

I cannot help with your actual but this is giving me mild ptsd flashbacks to everyone on hn/slashdot constantly repeating how simple and perfect unix security is, just use user acc…

Sure, and I dunno, it probably does no one any good, I just find it mildly annoying when people treat the atomic bombs dropped in ww2 as some kind of completely incomparable atroci…

Politicians don't count.

I mean, there's a lot going on here, contextually speaking. If I made a comment saying "oh just write a quick bash script to change all the files to pngs" and someone commented say…

What exactly is the argument here? All programmers should buy programming tools because otherwise programmers will starve to death?

I mean, I'm probably just being contrarian and I too would appreciate it if people stopped suffering, but like, people are suffering worse than that right now as we type this.

So am I to assume from your post that you're out there using your 2A rights to combat tyranny or... not?

Is there some magical utopian profession where people want to pay for tooling? Like, I'm sure there are people/groups who spend more on tools, like say, all the plumbers and carpen…

Remember when all the republicans told us we needed to let school shootings happen because the second ammendment was so important because it would protect us from stuff like this?

You're not wrong, exactly, but also people are justifiably mad at flock's existence and as a result articles like this get written. Perhaps there is a perfect world where every art…

What a boringly reductive take. It's not like hackernews is some amazing bastion of like, optimism and culture and interesting conversation, but surely we can do better than this?

Tried reading your comment but ran into a lack of usable information.

I agree, any book that is liked by more than one other person is a crime against artistry and a moral failing.

I miss vue2.0 =[. JSX just feels weird.

> If you have separate state on the client that needs to be managed, you are going to have a bad time regardless of framework. Yeah, because clients never need to keep track of sta…

My point isn't that they're unrelated, my point is that mass extinctions aren't unprecedented.
