HN is older 4chan. On the imageboard, you have the constant feeling you are arguing against 12 year olds.
Edit: this post is irrelevant to the context. 4chan is four years older than Startup News (the original name of Hacker News).
The take on 4chan on here is super intriguing. I always felt that the current social media/doomscroll/memesharing landscape which has become so common worldwide is indiscernable and in some ways worse than 4chan. It feels like 4chan left it's homepage and went worldwide sometime in the early 2010s when iPhone-style phone use became more commonplace. I remember that 4chan users had more honor than users on the interne…
4chan will always be superior than modern social media to me, for one very simple reason: all posts are anonymous and there is no voting/ranking. Each and every post must stand alone and be judged alone. You do not know if it was posted by someone you hate or adore. It doesn't get hidden or promoted based on what a bubble voted. You see the post and you must judge it alone.

I have an awesome circle of people on Bluesky that I'm connected with that very much care about each others feelings. I'm sure that's not universal on there, but the corner that I'm in on there has probably been my most pleasant experience on the internet ever.
It’s performative. Not real

I'm not sure about the "fencepost error" part, but he's thinking of days as durations rather than points. It's early in the thread, about halfway down the first page: > You don't start counting on sunday, it hasn't been a day yet, you don't start counting til monday. You can't count the day that it is, did you never take basic elementrary math? Put in other terms, TheJosh uses "Sun - Sun" as inclusive start and exclu…
I wanted to keep going but pages 3 onwards don't seem to be archived. Argh, back to work I guess

Many of the popular internet terms start on 4chan, and then move to reddit and the rest of the internet, and then eventually mainstream news, and 65 year olds mouths. This process takes about 3-5 years.
Looking forward to grandparents sharing wojak memes on Facebook

> Then some morons connected them to the internet for no good reasons. Elon Musk and Franz von Holzhausen, to be precise.
New cars have 3G cellular transmitters constantly sending telemetry data. This started becoming common in 2012.
4g now. 3g was turned off causing these cars to drain the battery searching for signal.

The booting process is dominated by checking SteadyShot's state (move sensor a bit, center and lock). However, you don't notice that three seconds. Because when you flick the switch and raise the camera, and it's already ready to shoot. There's powersave after a minute (configurable), which can be considered as S3 sleep, and returning from that is faster.
Seems complicated. IBIS would be nice to have, but the two stops or so I get from my lenses' stabilizers usually works out to be enough.
Moreover if you have a stabilized lens, they work in tandem to improve things even further.
Many shots you think which would gonna be blurry comes out perfect. e.g.: https://www.flickr.com/photos/zerocoder/49047642802/in/photo...

> Isn't it a running joke that the Jannies don't get paid? You're think about reddit and why it is the way it is from an editorial perspective and what kind of people have the time to mods 100+ subs for free... But that ceased to be true long ago. While some of the supermods aren't paid by reddit directly, they might be paid by other orgs to mod and influence reddit, corporate or 'grass root'... Some others simply hi…
What does Reddit have to do with this? "Jannies" (janitors) are pseduo-mods on 4chan (the subject of the linked thread) who clean up posts and do other work, for free. Actual 4chan mods are paid.
As far back as I can remember they were also volunteers. When did hiro start paying people?

You don't like to lump people into groups by race/country of origin but find no cognitive dissonance in lumping people together by platform choice.
Yes. People can leave the platform. They can't leave their race.
Even though it might be hard to ignore the well-budgeted choir of well-intentioned promoters of status quo, you still don't have to believe in this concept.
