Same for me, I love the ritual, but it's not something I have time everyday. For those days, a super simple electric coffe maker is good enough, but not even this kind of coffee you can find in a lot of coffee shops.

I have one kit from Rolife half-assembled for over an year, and I don't see myself finishing it anytime soon. But, man, they look so beautiful. Even more when built carefully, like this one.

Yep, same for me. But not because I like it, it's because most places around the world call themselves "coffee shops" and don't know how to brew any kind of drip coffee. I've been to a few coffee shops that had drip coffee makers on display and they told me "we don't know how to use it" or "it takes too long to brew, so we don't use it".

Killing xcancel and nitter was an awesome callout that I was again spending too much time on social media, even if logged out. Back to my cave.

Sort of the plot of Banana Joe.

Everytime I get stuck with some kind of circular bureaucracy I shout "it's Banana Joe all over again!" and no one understands.

The problem today it's hard to convince even myself to pay the storage premium, but I 100% agree with you.

I'm curious what would take for regular people (i.e. people off HN) to realize what is pointed in the article is a real problem.

In my experience, every time I mention this I'm labeled as: nostalgic old guy, Don Quixote wannabe, tinfoil hat supporter, pirate nerd who doesn't understand people just want convenience. I've seen people bit by losing access to purchased content shrug and say "yeah, that's bad isn't it? at least I was able to watch it before they removed it".

Sometimes I feel that's a lost battle. People were put to boil just like the frog in the anecdote and keep swearing it's a hot bath.

Back in 2000 I was being interviewed for my first internship, to join a team of C programmers. They showed me one of the winner entries of the prior years, asked me to review the code and left the room. About 5 minutes later they came back:

– And?

– I'm sorry I wasted your time. I just can't understand it.

They burst into laughs and asked me to start the joining process.

I wonder if people still make fun of interns. I still have a good laugh when I remember myself freaking out.

Such as Google Wave? I really wanted it to work.

This is a very good comparison, I'll be using it.

It just made me realize why I don't have those found memories of my mom's cooking. When we got our first microwave she went full on the vibe cooking and took years to realize how dumb it was.

I hope my kid doesn't get the same kind of memories about my weekend projects.

I don't need this to know what wakes me up during the night: my wife pushes the door and THEN turns the doorknob. A simple conversation was no good. My MIL said on her experience deep conversations would not help either. At least it didn't help for 15 years.

You're joking, but the other night I had high fever and had nightmares of AI giving me wrong answers to questions I already knew the answer, but for some reason I kept insisting on writing the same prompts I didn't even needed over and over again.

He didn't receive the memo because someone wrote DECEASED on his mail months ago.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but Apple's parental controls just don't work.

The default Debian version is focused on stability, so you'll only find battle-tested releases in it. That's why it's called "stable", if you're feeling more adventurous than that, you could try "testing" or even "unstable". 20+ years ago I daily drived an unstable desktop. At that time it had literally what was released hours ago, but you were always risking it to stop working after any update. You should check these versions if you like Debian.
