Nowhere on that website was there a "blanket statement" about all art. They said "I believe," not "It is stated fact." I also share the opinion that having no interpretation can be…

Not OP, but I tend to use multiple sources via RSS. Iirc, Live Science covered the laser Hawaii one, and then the balloon stuff I either see on [there], here, or on social media el…

At the risk of not fitting into the conventional HN profile, the pandemic got me my current job. They were desperately needing to fill positions, and they were the only ones who wo…

Same thing for Firefox on Android, it seems.

What flavor of bs would that be? I have no experience with, but aside from the usual "pay your own everything" and taxes, it seems like an alright place to be. I could also be very…

Run of the mill lab tech. Wish I had the privilege of remote work so I could focus on family instead of being gone for 10+ hours a day. But that's a dream for other people who know…

I know some jobs feel like a grind on some days, but for those who have a legitimate, heaving disinterest every work day, how do you get to the end? What pushes you to the next day…

Personal/financial success issue: Trying to figure out my life. I work a job I'm starting to hate because it's dead-end, but it pays well for what it is. Mentally exhausting though…

It's likely Rule 34 in this context has been reimagined as, "Someone cares just as much about $thing as you to [...]" Other than that, yes, the original R34 version applies somewhe…

I would ask "Is there a BSDoom?" but this[0] might qualify. [0] https://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/

It doesn't have to be one or the other. The GUI would be for one-off or intermittent usage, and the CLI program would still come in as the primary tool for scripting or recurring u…

What would classify as a private bank? IME, you're given the option for overdrafts regardless.

On one hand, I am of the laughing crowd. On the other, I have to wonder if there is something I (we?) are missing if these highly paid marketers and engineers are going after it. S…

Fellow "boring old town" member here. I wouldn't have it any other way. Far away from me are the trivialities and concerns of concrete monoliths. I much prefer being able to walk o…

> If motivation were a battery you wouldn't try to recharge it and use it at the same time. It might get you a little more uptime but the stress leads to early failure. Thank you f…

Shortest version might be:

If I may ask, why not switch to another distro? Are those particular add-ons useful, or is it inertia?
