Man, fuck 2020. I picked up 2 bottles of Champagne for the wife and I before I decided it was a 3 bottle kind of year. It's 5:30 and we're one bottle in so clearly the right decision. Here's to 2021 being a lot better for everyone!

As John Oliver says, Fuck You 2020 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=122

Careful with that. I recall vividly toasting 2020 with a hearty "fuck you 2019!", and we can see how that turned out. Do not taunt arbitrary temporal spans.

Blwyddyn newydd dda HN, 2020 required an awful lot of "well let's see what the hn comments say about -this-" in response to oh so many fear mongering headlines and half stories. Glad to be here, thanks to dang and the community for keeping it what it is.

Didn’t expect to see Cymraeg here on HN!

Cymro and proud :-) there's a few of us on here. Shameless plug for toot.wales - I run a bilingual Mastodon instance if you're interested. Iechyd da!

I started reading hackernews in Nov 2019 and get a daily mail with the top 30 posts of the past 24 hours.

I've never missed a day during this time and have learned invaluable things from all of you specially the ones posting thoughtful comments. I'm a believer of "Success is the product of daily habits, not once-in-a-lifetime transformation" and all of you contributed to me getting a little better one day at a time. I'm pushing myself to write and comment more, so I can hopefully be able to return the favor with the things I know best.

Thank you mods for all the hard work, See you all in 2021

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I lost all respect for the EFF after they supported the USA FREEDOM Act reauthorization of PATRIOT surveillance.

Link?

Not an expert, not GP, but these don't seem to support what they said..

Happy new year!

Here's to doing a better job of keeping politics off HN in the future. This starts with the users.

Thank you to the mod(s) for their best efforts.
