Hacker News allows threads to derail into literal misogyny and dehumanisation, but simple disagreements end with moderators downvoting and flagging entire threads.

This site is a trash heap of manchildren and awful moderators.

>Obviously "threads full of misogyny" are not fine.

Then why the fuck do you let them reach the top of HN and do nothing about them?

PrimHelios··on Microsoft Employees Protest Work with ICE
"Grow up" is uncivil but threads full of misogyny are fine

Jesus fucking christ. Just fucking delete my account, you people are fucking despicable.

PrimHelios··on Microsoft Employees Protest Work with ICE
People disagreed, this isn't a fucking flamewar. This site allows literal misogyny, but two people having a heated disagreement is a fucking flamewar?
PrimHelios··on Microsoft Employees Protest Work with ICE
Occam's Razor. When the mod steps in at the same time as the entire thread is downvoted and flagged, that's more than a bit suspicious.
PrimHelios··on Microsoft Employees Protest Work with ICE
The HN mods seem to have some form of issue with our disagreement and have downvoted and flagged this entire thread.
PrimHelios··on Microsoft Employees Protest Work with ICE
Where was my personal attack and incivility? Myself and downandout completely disagree but neither of us where uncivil or attacking each other.

I chose to stop responding before it became a flame war, I have no idea why you would go through this thread, and downvote and flag both of us. What are you talking about?

PrimHelios··on States Can Require Internet Tax Collection, Supreme Court Rules
>But regardless, that kind of number is a full time job. If you're selling over the internet and making a full time job out of it, you can handle computing sales tax for SD residents.

But it isn't just SD, it's hundreds, if not thousands of jurisdictions. One person doesn't have that kind of time.

PrimHelios··on States Can Require Internet Tax Collection, Supreme Court Rules
Fucking RIP literally every internet store that doesn't have the ability to register for 10 thousand (literally) different fucking tax jurisdictions.

>It doesn't count when

So yeah, everything you disagree with doesn't count. Thanks for wasting my time.

PrimHelios··on Microsoft Employees Protest Work with ICE
You have had 2, but I guess they don't count.

Watch this:

Our economy depends on """illegal""" immigrants in order to survive things like harvest season.

>allegedly/from one point of view

What's alleged is whether or not the shootings were legal. It isn't a point of view that those men are dead because of a cop.

EDIT: Downvoted for stating a fact.

>No one actually expressed any defensible position, and they still haven’t

No, nobody has given you a position you agree with. You can't just say "EVERYTHING I DISAGREE WITH IS INDEFENSIBLE HURR DURR", that's not how things work.

Whether or not you agree is irrelevant, but you clearly can't see that, so arguing with you is just a waste of time.

Grow up.

Go back to /r/blackpill. Hackernews isn't the place for this kind of thing.
PrimHelios··on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless
I've never been on one. I don't have the opportunity to fly much.
PrimHelios··on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless
I really don't expect an airline company to actually spend those savings on quality. Just because they can do something doesn't mean they will
PrimHelios··on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless
How many times a year does that happen? Now how many times a year do you hear about shitty monitors? Hell, on Reddit alone I see 2 or 3 posts about bad monitors every day
PrimHelios··on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless
There's a big difference between being on a train in a tunnel and being in a plane several thousand feet in the air.
PrimHelios··on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless
Even with virtual windows, I think knowing that I can't directly see outside would make me extremely claustrophobic, and I think a lot of people would feel similarly.

All in all this is a cool concept, but I don't think it will be executed well. What happens when my "window" inevitably breaks (as technology is apt to do) and the illusion of being able to see is broken? What about annoying dead pixels or color banding? I can't imagine the displays being used are very high quality.

PrimHelios··on Why Children Aren't Behaving and What We Can Do About It
Meanwhile, there were literal epidemics of children dying when my mother was a kid.
PrimHelios··on Gnome has moved to GitLab
The kernel is just mirrored on GH, which is why they want PRs and bug reports sent to their mailing list.
PrimHelios··on Gnome has moved to GitLab
Hate to bring up gamergate, but a project related to the movement was completely taken offline by a rogue github employee.

There are a number of sources, all of them biased, so I'd prefer not to link any.

PrimHelios··on Why Is Front-End Development So Unstable?
Ah, I see what you mean. I can't really comment any further as I don't know what it takes to get hired as a webdev, but I'll take your word for it.
PrimHelios··on Why Is Front-End Development So Unstable?
I set up an entire flask dev environment with one pip command, too. Still no real barrier to entry, at least not any more than front-end development.
PrimHelios··on Why Is Front-End Development So Unstable?
>Webdev has close to no barriers for entry

How does something like regular desktop development have any more barriers? I picked up Python at 14 and that had absolutely no barriers for entry other than installing IDLE on a laptop. If anything, webdev has more barriers for entry because you need a webserver and a backend of some kind.

PrimHelios··on Why Is Front-End Development So Unstable?
Change is good, the issue is instability and volatility. Things have breaking changes far too quickly.
PrimHelios··on Bitcoin backlash as ‘miners’ stress power grids in Central Washington
The stock market is relatively stable. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can fluctuate hundreds or even thousands per day.

Crypto is meaningless, stock is actually owning part of a company.

PrimHelios··on A Wikipedia editor's long-running campaign
I mean, you can actually see the edits the guy makes.

Why would FiveFilters falsely defend Media Lens - a conservative organization - while attacking a wiki editor who is extremely pro-war? Your argument really only makes sense if the editor is liberal and attacking Media Lens and FiveFilters.

PrimHelios··on A Wikipedia editor's long-running campaign
>Imagine if a country like Russia makes an orchestrated effort to achieve similar goals

That's pretty much already happened. Remember that time Scientology tried to attack Wikipedia for telling the truth about Sea Org? They got close to getting away with it, and if a larger nation-state tried editing less-controversial articles, I'm sure they would get away with it. It wouldn't surprise me if Russia has already done things like that.

PrimHelios··on Chinese mass-indoctrination camps evoke Cultural Revolution
America has the Patriot act. It isn't used to detain many people, but the government definitely has the ability to do it if they want.

With a recent kernel, their hybrid driver is fantastic.
