Wild that Labour just let this go into effect without any changes.

lol

This is the most quintessentially hackernews comment ever posted.

2018 and 2019 apparently

it's wild that Musk was trolled into paying $44B to destroy a perfectly viable company.

Do I think it will? No; there's always another sucker ready to lose their life savings.

Do I hope this will be the cycle though? Oh absolutely.

I was using reddit in 2006. So yeah, you could say I've "looked at reddit."

It's a cesspool now.

you're going to have to provide some proof that these even exist.

Not really.

And just like that, I've already bought my last Apple product.

wow, we're really gonna defend the indefensible in this thread, aren't we?

I mean, the same can be said about gambling.

twitter is mostly anonymous users shitposting and dunking on each other.

facebook is all your friends' racist friends yelling at you, interspersed with bizarre ads for products you'll never buy and sponsored links to phony news sites. it's a completely different dynamic and it's much more insidious.

They were doing you a favour. Stop using Facebook.

Cool how Boeing's response appears to be to find and punish those responsible for the communications, not those responsible for deceiving the FAA and regulators in order to certify an aircraft that never should have left the design phase.

Absolutely, like no question. Once the show's been automatically downloaded you can do whatever you want with it, and setting up Plex is a one-time-only thing. What happens when the content you're after gets sold to someone else or subsumed into another provider and you've got to jump to a new streaming service with different terms and conditions and content restrictions?

Piracy is simple.

And yet we routinely see people here arguing in defence of 80- to 100-hour work weeks at startups. This kind of mind-sickness is not the sole domain of the elite legal profession.

Audio people have been moving away from Apple over the past few years specifically because of show-stopping bugs introduced by new versions of the OS. This really never happens in Windows now and it's become more and more appealing to switch.

This is probably going to be what gets me to switch all my audio applications to Windows 10. Once again, everything I use -- Serato, Ableton, and half a dozen pieces of hardware from different manufacturers -- is broken in this release.

Apple's become a phone company that grudgingly still makes computers, and this is reflected in their treatment of end users.

If a program works fine, with no issues, why should companies be forced to update it simply because Apple decrees they no longer support 32 bit applications? "Sweeping the dust" is an absurd declaration.

"Reducing" (by means unspecified) sounds uncomfortably close to mass killing.

he's calling for basically this elsewhere in the thread.

I reckon it's the same reason they bought Reddit. Poisoning the body and the mind.

Honestly, Equifax should’ve folded after that breach. Any company that loses all its customer data should cease to exist.

after what went away I moved on to the two sites that replaced it (xanax and redacted) and the selection and convenience is almost as good as what was. If I buy something it’s almost always on vinyl or from the artist’s own site.

in Australia there’s absolutely no better way to obtain media besides piracy. Our options are both expensive and terrible. I’ll probably never stop.

because they do not care, nor are they required to. This is what you get when you decide to plant your seeds in their walled garden.

the grand jury system makes a mockery of the US justice system.

Jesus this thread is toxic. I can tell the SAT board made the right decision based on the salt content here.

Has it ever been established that Israel has nuclear weapons? As far as I’ve heard it’s just a rumour.

any criticism really.
