HN why did you change so much? Did Yahoo! become an investor?

You chose your username here and in most other places. You can even change it easily on many platforms. Your username doesn't require you to show your ID and have your calls tapped and traced towards your person.

Do you want me to continue?

Opposite of my experience, helps you have the proper mechanical info to learn the basics, skipping marketing nonsense and mumbo jumbo. Knowing how to lift something heavy safely goes beyond the practice of strength training, it's a life skill.

also, this is going to make your address reputation plummet, if you enjoy convincing (often in exchange for a 30$+ commission) 100+ different blacklist operators that you're not a spammer please use this tool

Why worry about mainstream crypto adoption to the point you want to remove the freedoms that brought you there in the first place?

> Most designers will cringe at the thought of showing users a fallback system font.

Explaining them that web is not paper, helps removing a lot of this childish behaviour.

The "digital plaza" ownership and total control on one's own community is a literal 2.99 euro/month VPS running mastodon away.

Shitposting one's thoughts by arranging pixels on a public forum is NOT a necessity, it's a luxury. If you value it as a necessity consider funding your own for yourself and others you care about, it would end up costing about 7 euro/year if you find even just 4 other like-minded persons.

If there's a community that's going to hunt you down until they find the info they need in your ultraspecific, obscure, niche blog, it's metalheads.

Open a quick forum and work on it, build SEO articles, ask people to share articles on other pages, and grow your community double the one you had on FB instead of despairing and worrying about stupid upvotes. Best of luck

This faked nostalgia is becoming irritating.

Websites which were like that didn't last long, and mostly were hosted on free webservers.

If you want to get rid of nostalgia please spend 60 whole minutes making sense of HTML+PHP5.6+jQuery copy pasted code. And make it IE6 compatible. And use tables for layout. And don't use stackoverflow, caniuse, or an IDE. You'll soon understand how we reached the current state of things.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this defeatist attitude, which is supposed to magically lead to change more than actually planning and actioning chance itself.

Nowhere in life change happens without trauma. Get good at trauma and you'll get good at life.

I suggest to learn one's own limits through suffering and systematically repeated failure. It's the only way to build not only a map of current yourself, but also a trail towards your future self.

Time is ticking, memento mori, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
