I prefer Photoview’s simplicity over Immich. Immich leans too much toward mimicking Google Photos for my taste.

Is there any sensible explanation why Kagi does funding Yandex? It seems weird to me.

If your business fails you will consider yourself a failure. Thus these life lessons leads us to buddhist concept of self-detachment.

“Scroll and learn” sounds like oxymoron.

People do not care because they don’t want to suffer all the time they see some lack of effort. Even when there is 80% carers and 20% do-not-carers, 80% will suffer and go into the opposing group. It has upside-down-bowl stability.

Bots are real, man. HN's bots are top-notch. There is no other reason of these comments.

I discovered city-pop through vaporwave genre. Initially, I thought these stylish Japanese album covers were contemporary and inspired by vaporwave - turns out it was the other way around! The original 80s city-pop aesthetic actually influenced vaporwave's visual style decades later.

I remember in the 00s Firefox or Opera had an nice feature to load pages exclusively from cache. I used this feature a lot to check all pages I had surfed through when my parents blocked the internet access to encourage me to get back in reality. Ohh sweet times..

I wonder if we'll see a return to cloud technologies in 10 years when prices drop? Maybe DHH himself could come out again saying "cloud is cool" to support the hype around Ruby on Rails

Why on earth would someone deserve to be fired based on mere "feedback"? As long as it's not an outright offensive rant, it should be handled sensibly. But even if it is an offensive rant, firing should be a last resort. The amount of toxic subordination that's assumed to be normal is sickening.

So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Fidonet... Woe unto them, for they have sown the wind and shall reap the whirlwind. Their troubles shall multiply as bugs and glitches in their software.

That's totally a human thing. Digital window dressing (or in this case, defensive tribalistic behavior) is just another projection of how human beings do social things.

Generally speaking, if you place anything under close scrutiny, you will catch yourself (assuming you're human) like the ouroboros - the serpent consuming its own tail. You can't escape the flaws of your own perception and your nature.

All other things, including praising technology and envisioning a better future, are just the tip of the iceberg. People will never find solace outwards unless they turn their focus in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, this is impossible for society in our capitalist, highly materialistic world.

Putting aside the questionable simplification that IQ correlates with desirable political behavior, can you provide an example of when heavily oppressed people successfully overthrew their oppressors? If you examine history carefully, you will find that such cases are exceedingly rare.

As a Russian citizen, I'd like to mention two things. First, the Communist revolution disrupted the continuity of tradition in Russia. The knowledge, heritage and legacy that many people cherished was wiped out through killings and forced exile. Second, there is an esoteric aspect rooted deeply in Eastern Orthodoxy that cannot be easily explained.

Currently, many of the most intelligent Russian citizens are attempting to relinquish their Russian citizenship, seeing it as the best path forward for themselves as individuals. The opportunity to fight for a better collective future faded away long ago.
