Why are you ordering a diet Coke from McDonalds anyways? This is highly overpriced and a watered down version of what you could get at a gas station.

Can of soda $1 Fountain soda from McDonalds $3

Am I missing something?

This is an AMD machine, not Intel.

I think you have it backwards. Here is an alternative, not very popular, but maybe that's what you want. I started at Digg, it got overran with normies, then went to reddit, same thing, now hackernews is filled with normies.

HN has always been a Startup site, but us programmer geeks also have interest in tech. Now people post their projects and don't even explain what they are or anything, and regular news shows up here too.. why?

Aseprite started out open source, went closed source and back to open source. It's nice to see them opensource again/ Libresprite was built out of Aseprite close sourcing future versions. I honestly wasn't aware it was open source again.

You almost got the issue. The main problem with Netflix is they are no longer a video Supermarket, but instead a Hollywood Studio.

Netflix was great for about 10 years when it's only competition was Hulu. Now everyone has yanked their content off of Netflix and put it on their own streaming platforms.

When Netflix had ALL of the streaming videos, it was amazing, it was the Video Supermarket as you say.

Now Netflix makes it's own content and I hear nothing but bad things from other people and my own experiences of their programming is that it's substandard to what they could get from other studios.

They need to go back to being the #1 streaming content provider, not a movie studio.

The video store had a recommendation "engine". It had people that worked there! Often times they had a employee's pick section. You could talk to an employee and they could help you out. After getting to know you, they would reserve new movies for you! I know it's crazy to think that a human being can compete with an algorithm. This was the video store experience you have missed and were unaware of. Thinking that "your way" is the only way is always wrong.
