Other people have asked, probably for the same reason but I would love an offline version, packaged in zim format or something.

For when the apocalypse happens it’ll be enjoyable to read relatively high quality interactions and some of them may include useful post-apoc tidbits!

Same. One of my first forays into scripting. TCL for eggdrops too. Spent a lot of time and energy on IRC :)

Imagine someone hijacking the account and making “announcements” … that’s why they have official government websites.

I’ve always found it amusing how much world leaders actually use Twitter for communications. The fact that a private citizen can purchase the platform and do whatever they want with it is exactly why it’s a bad idea.

Not to mention this is a lame way to increase signups and AU metrics, holding a gun to an old person’s head.

Same experience ordering Lucky brand jeans… from Lucky themselves! Same exact model would result in different material composition / origin country. It could be 0-2% spandex/100-98% cotton or something. I wound up making a little spreadsheet to try to figure out which ones I liked the best (origin country, materials)

It’s crazy.

Notepad is crap in Windows 11. I wanted a stupid simple way to put crap into a scratchpad (often times) and now it tries to outsmart me with multiple windows/tabs, maintaining state, spellchecking. I’ve disabled everything I can in it. It’s merely tolerable now.

They should have kept Wordpad and added all the crap into that.

I have no doubt some of the benefits are definitely to be able to resell or access that data once again. I literally just told someone yesterday “don’t pay for domain privacy, any registrar worth a damn will include it anymore”

I came here wondering if someone had posted this :)

CEO outrage, politicians, corporations and the rich getting away with everything, hearing AI is being explored to replace you in the next few years, it's no wonder.

They have to keep jacking up prices so their SAFe(TM) certified trainers, scrum masters, coaches, consultants and such can continue to provide additional value

Yeah, denying because it means more profits isn't okay. The fact that these insurance companies are publicly traded and have to maximize value for shareholders creates even more of the wrong incentives.

These should be not-for-profit entities, with appropriate controls.

@nickff shouldn't that be a not-for-profit watchdog capability then? Not a massive money making middleman?

(Can't reply that deep)

If audiobooks count, so far enjoying the hell out of Project Hail Mary, I possibly got turned on to it by a mention on HN (I like The Martian movie, so I gave it a shot, and maybe decide to get that on audiobook too, now)

I wish they'd do away with compound interest. Why not some flat % like other loans? Maybe like 8-12% and I'm sure everyone wins.
