Woah, I have been watching all of this guy's videos recently, I love how deep he dives into niche topics. His video on segmented displays got me very interested in the clever designs that came out of technical constraints, and challenged me to get back to design a little bit. It's nice to see him linked here

Nice :)

Yeah, I guess probably "free software" was a more appropriate term

Unfortunately it seems like nowadays with open source being very widespread that many companies or people simply ignore/forget that these libraries that they include in their software aren't just "public domain" because the code is public, but they have a license that should be respected and actually has legal value, so what often ends up happening is that they take advantage of open source software or libraries in their proprietary software without even giving a crap about their authors and their community

I think the gnome project deserves a mention here, their docs program is really complete, and covers many high level aspects of how to use the software. Most gnome apps also use it

This article is from 1999, what do you mean?

I'm not defending Amazon

Yeah, it even seems very weird as well that a company would paint this image on themselves

This article is so wrong on so many levels. First off, Amazon is definitely not selling "suicide kits", let alone advertising them. What they really meant here is the automated "people usually buy this with" section that suggests other items that are commonly bought along with the viewed item, meaning that the viewer had to be at least aware of what they were searching for (they were probably looking for some chemical).

Second of all and most important... WHY the hell were these CHILDREN buying stuff off of Amazon, somehow WITHOUT THEIR PARENT'S KNOWLEDGE? Did they just pay with their own cc, have it delivered to the house all while their parents/guardians DIDN'T notice?

If their parents are so uncaring for their children, then I'm not even surprised they wanted to commit suicide.

Just my 2¢ and sorry for yelling a bit

HackerNews is basically just text and links, so... I don't see how a CDN would only complicate things, honestly

I used to be on twitter (wonderful thing, I know) for about a year during 2020-2021. I never really any social media accounts aside from that, but anyways, during that time on the site I felt so stressed, anxious, and manipulated that it actually kind of hurt me for a while. I was led into agreeing with things that I simply did not believe in, and that influenced a lot of bad decisions in my life.

I think it has changed me for the worst. I used to be a much kinder and more open person, and now I constantly feel inadequate or toxic. 2021 was also a pretty bad year for me. And plus around that time, the twitter communities I engaged with were absolutely ruthless with pushing political, SJW agendas, participating in movements they poorly understood, and enforcing their views on everyone. If you've been there you'll know what I mean

Seeing hundreds, hell even thousands of 14,15 year olds being "indoctrinated" by other, equally treated 14,15 year olds is so depressing and almost caught me. I deleted my account earlier this year and will never regret it. Sure, I had some popular tweets, but I don't care about that small hits of fame anymore.

If you engage in communities, or even small groups of friends, which you feel are uncomfortable or unhealthy, then all power's to you to leave, and I highly encourage you to do that if you want to.

Agree. Still, this is horrible

> I was frankly astonished that Windows would drop them into a temporary user profile without dire warnings about its transience

Does it? I recall using Windows 7 and being dropped into ~TEMP sometimes, but I was warned with a notification.
