Aside... so impressed with the UI on the posted version.

A rogue superpower? We are never going to right the ship when we keep misrepresenting ourselves. Self-reflection is difficult or... too close to the forest to see the trees.

The USA is a rogue terror state and we're living in the aftermath of democratic collapse. Everything we see in the news is theater for the masses.

> I suspect Linux has better hardware support than Haiku, which is not exactly easy to run on laptop hardware (w/ wifi, sleep, &c)

So true. I had an old Dell Latitude D620, 3GB/500GB, 1.66ghz Intel Core Duo Processor and it was sound that tripped me up. Haiku was lightning fast on this machine.

I think that eventually I might've gotten sound to work but... this was many years ago and the laptop was mostly for testing light-weight distros on modest hardware.

> It isn't a good way. You are fearmongering.

I think the user raises valid concerns that should be discussed.

Freenet (~2000) did something similar. They distributed and cached content across all participating nodes. Users were storing encrypted fragments of other's data. It was notorious for distributing illegal content.

I recall that at the time, users were concerned about illegal content winding up on their computers - even if they weren't directly - knowingly - downloading those resources.

As I looked a little deeper just now, I'm discovering that courts have generally been lenient on unknowing participants - that intent and knowledge do matter. It's still a legal grey area (from some basic research I just did - maybe someone else can add to this).

I would still be concerned about a corrupt agency (in some fascist environment) pressing charges or insinuating illegal activity regardless of intent.

Can't wait to test this. I've been looking for a program like this for ages! I'm hopeful that I can select which network interface it sees.

I use a VPN which creates its own network interface and so.. the programs all run through this. Away from my home computer for a few days, unfortunately.

This is an amazing page. I am lost in it, looking at the numbers - trending, most active, insights, etc. It's like candy (for some of us):-)

Also the use of the word "elite" that ties into the same kind of wordplay training that's used in cult-like subservient thinking. Are we suppose to bow? Come on!

The word is ruling class - not elite, not special, not more important. The current ruling class is everyone tied to the epstein file, including a malignant foreign government and some members of our own intelligence agencies. Not elite!

Do they mean the US Tech firms that are already an extension of the state(s) that initiated this conflict and have been terrorizing the world?

Please stop overthinking and listening to publications that insist on creating some kind of a caste system.

I didn't bother to even read the article (it's behind a paywall, I don't read articles with nonsense headlines).

There is this need to separate the behavior of wealthy/powerful people vs those who are poorer/hold less powerful positions.

The behavior's the same when it comes to writing and sending messages. I've dealt with both consistently and constantly over several decades.

I am not that person. I use an FF extension that let's me know if a story has been posted on HN. This one was not submitted according to the extension.

Thank you so much for letting me know that israel, working with the FBI to manipulate a sitting president into war was something that is not a viable submission.

You do the entire community proud...

> that Google spends >$1B/year to develop.

Let's see...

https://www.techpolicy.press/the-true-cost-of-browser-innova...

* Most of the personnel involved in developing web technologies are engineers, but they also include product managers, sales, marketing, legal, customer support, and other functions.

* Given the complexity of Chrome and web technologies, the engineering teams skew towards higher levels of seniority. Assume that Staff Software Engineer is the most common engineering level represented across the web technologies teams, which is towards the more senior end of Google’s software engineering job ladder.

* The average base salary for Google employees working on web technologies is $240k and the average annual take-home pay is $500k, including salary, bonuses, and stock payments. These estimates are close to the current average base salary and take-home pay for Google Staff Software Engineers listed on industry salary data sites.

* Google has approximately 2000 staff working on web technologies.

Using the above assumptions, the estimated personnel cost for web technologies is 2000 * $596k = $1.2B. Of course there are additional costs associated with these businesses. Based on this sketch, it seems fair to assume that Google spends at least $1-2B annually on Chrome, Chromium, and the evolution of the web platform.

Exactly. The War Machine may very well be too big to fail. It's connected to every facet of life as we know it... (today).

I wonder if the end of Russia as a world threat is something that benefits or hurts the US.

The US runs a trillion dollar war machine, a multi-trillion dollar military industrial complex. It needs to feed it. It needs enemies. At the very least, it needs a constant threat to justify its existence (even if it has to create those threats).

If Russia ceases to be a threat, does the US begin to hassle more countries? Does it increase the Police State, does domestic surveillance become more prevalent. Are we already seeing these things?

A legitimate Russian threat might actually be good for the world and the American people.

> [edit]Additionally, it looks like people's IP address is included with their posts. YUCK!

As an aside... I wonder how many people use VPNs among the HN crowd. I've been on a VPN so long, I feel really exposed when I'm forced to access anything without one.

> Have you https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/single-file/

Yes I have. I tried maff, mht, SingleFile and some others over the years. MAFF was actually my goto for many years because it was just a zip container. It felt future-proof for a long time until it wasn't (I needed to manually extract contents to view once the supporting extension was gone).

I seem to recall that MHT caused me a little more of a conversion problem.

It was my concern for future-proofing that eventually led me back to "Save As..".

My first choice is "Save as..." these days because I just want easy long-term access to the content. The content is always the key and picking and choosing which asset to get rid of is fairly easy with this. Sometimes it's just all the JS/trackers/ads, etc..

If "Save as..." fails, I'll try 'Reader Mode' and attempt "Save as.." again (this works pretty well on many sites). As a last resort I'll use SingleFile (which I like too - I tested it on even DOS browsers from the previous century and it passed my testing).

A locally saved SingleFile can be loaded into FF and I can always perform a "Save As..." on it if I wanted to for some reason (eg; smaller file, js-trackers, cleaner HTML, etc).

I gave up a long time ago and started using the "Save as..." on browsers again. At the end of the day, I am interested in the actual content and not the look/feel of the page.

I find it easier to just mass delete assets I don't want from the "pageTitle_files/" directory (js, images, google-analytics.js, etc).

> dropsitenews has been doing much better reporting than most outlets.

Never heard of them, started browsing the site just now. Very impressed so far.

> Pam Bondi said if the DOJ went after everyone the whole system would collapse is why.

This is a criminally colluding Pam Bondi saying this. I guarantee that every single person on the Epstein list is replaceable many times over. There is not a single person on that list that is indispensable in any role they play in society. Full stop. Don't fall for it.

It's just the way the system is built. Even Pam Bondi is replaceable (and should be replaced) by many, many actual qualified people.

I thought the article was going to delve into this.

"The future is being shaped by a remarkably small number of people".

That is a lot of power in the hands of a few people. Probably nothing to worry about. Power is hardly ever abused...

Whataboutism

> my question is more technical: how did the blot out the booing?

Filtering out boos doesn't seem to be an issue from a technical standpoint. It was done recently with Donald Trump at the US Open Tennis:

https://bimcmedia.com/booing-trump-at-the-us-open-tv-audienc...

"The USTA’s decision to comply with the White House’s wishes and shield Trump’s self-presentation from noise is hardly understandable. The British Guardian called it in tennis jargon an “unforced error” – a fault without necessity. The US Open are actually the Grand Slam tournament that cares least about etiquette."

If you target an individual using the vast resources of the government for exercising his\her rights under the Constitution... would it not be much worse than spying?

Would it surprise you - given the well-documented behavior of the Federally-supported ICE agents - that this "leak" was a strategic (insidious) move? We've seen this behavior before on numerous occasions across social media that it should not surprise any of us. Or am I reaching...?

[note: his account (/u/Budget-Chicken-2425) has been suspended. I don't know if it happened before or after the leak. This is important to know too.]

Perhaps this is another calculated move to intimidate American citizens from exercising their Constitutional rights under the First Amendment?

Speech, Press, Assembly, Petition (and religion).

And if so... the very Constitution is under attack when these protected rights are reframed as homeland threats. Would you consider this a valid position?

When it comes to politics and studies... We all should know by now to research those sources too, right?

"The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit[5] conservative think tank."

It is a report generated by this conservative organization (that presumably gets donations from many other conservatives). Is there a chance that the report itself is suspect?

It honestly sounds like how a diaper-wearing baby would mispronounce kilobyte.

"I will not sacrifice my dignity. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds with awkward pronunciations. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done to the kilobyte!"

I had to followup on this because I still can't believe a thing like this existed.

"In 2022, the NFT market collapsed..". "A September 2023 report from cryptocurrency gambling website dappGambl claimed 95% of NFTs had fallen to zero monetary value..."

Knowing this makes me feel a little better.

I can confirm.

It's not even about preferences for me. I can spend all day in light mode without eyestrain, without issue, very comfortably.

If I encounter a page that's dark mode (GUI), after about a minute or so, I start seeing spots before my eyes that stay with me for quite a while.

To wit... I use these two firefox extensions to convert pages from Dark Mode to Light mode. If one fails, the other usually finds success (I think they work in reverse too):

side note: I cannot explain why the terminal (FG/White; BG/Black) feels incredibly comfortable to my eyes. Maybe it's the larger font I use (80 columns = ~2/3rds of my 16" screen width), the right amount of contrast, the fixed spacing...?

When tariffs are imposed in this way (explicitly as a punitive response to political opposition, a coercive measure), we might as well call them what they are... economic sanctions or perhaps... economic terrorism.
