Why not use your main account to post this, unless you mean it was submitted less than 4 days ago when your account was created? Genuinely curious what benefit a fresh account gives you here?

You seem like a very nice person. I'm sure you're great at parties.

It's beyond naive. But there are also still people believing Elon Musk is going to put humanity on Mars for keeps and out of altruism.

For sure, I've been rolling my eyes at the Mars colony stuff for probably a decade or more now. I get that it's a fun futuristic thought experiment for nerds but the idea that Elon's going to send up some modern day Mayflower in the near future that builds a thriving settlement is obvious nonsense.

Hope somebody smuggles a decent screw jack onboard otherwise they're fucked.

The layout and design is a matter of taste. I actually find websites like OP refreshing to see. Blasting music or sound on auto play when you aren't directly navigating to audio or video content is just rude. It's the same as playing your speaker on the subway.

This is my problem with it. Put in a mute button if you're going to do this, otherwise it's just user hostile. No problem with stylized websites and fun animations.

You can mute tabs in browsers for the last 10 years or so, no?

Not as easily on mobile, and audio playback on mobile also pause other audio sources as well.

That's a good point, yes. I generally read on my desktop, so I missed that possibility.

Everyday someone cuts ties with Palentier's Peter Thiel (or the rest of the digital mafia), it's a good day for society as a whole.

They really should be a proscribed organization.

afaik the term "proscribed organization" is used nigh-exclusively in the imperial core, so i'm not sure how that applies here

Basically dumping - they made an objectively superior product that was completely free to users, funded by investor money without any plans for immediate profitability and long term sustainability. That was all nice for a few years, but it was clear it can't got like this for ever - and here we are.

Their constant treadmill of paid cosmetics, for lack of a better term, that no one was asking for and at least monthly Nitro beg screen is pretty indicative that they are having issues making revue and are desperately throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

Well, trying to create a adult market via age verification - for gambling and such... definitely stuck

amazing comment from a 13 year old account. really embodying the spirit of the HN guidelines. thanks for the warm welcome. so, what exactly, are you basing your accusation on? was it me saying "use noscript and reader mode" or maybe "people have different opinions"? or just by nature of having created an account after you created yours? this sort of accusation is what will drive HN to be a shit community to participa…

I find your surefooted statements about what hacker news is, will become, or ever was to be worth little seeing as you have only just become a part of this community. Might I recommend leaving the snark at home and approaching your interactions here with good faith instead of acting like you're the authoritative arbiter of community interactions? Welcome to Hacker News.

>Might I recommend leaving the snark at home and approaching your interactions here with good faith

the highest irony, coming from someone who literally cross-examined me and then insulted me rather than engage with my comments at all! can you seriously not see how ridiculous that is?

somehow i am the one who needs to approach interactions in good faith?

lmao. no. you dont get good faith from me. if you want good faith, dont start your conversations with an interrogation and follow it with an insult.

very cool insult, i am in absolute shambles.

but, uh, why are you insulting me? is this an example of "interacting in good faith" that you told me i should be doing?

it would be great if dang or tomhow could chime in on this, and let me know if your comment here is a good example for me to follow!

So far prices have generally gone up, which indicates the pie available is scarcer. I am looking forward to the day where more electricity, electronics, food, and housing are produced thanks to AI; but in the mid-term it feels like an AI bubble pop would do more to bring the price back down.

Qualitatively, I now have access to ChatGPT. How much do you think you would have paid for such a tool in 2010? and we are getting it almost for free.

Great, you have access to a hallucinating chat bot. The rest of us are losing access to basic computing and entertainment thanks to skyrocketing prices so that these companies can create more refined bots for you to chat with.
