I’m sure this type of thing absolutely scares Engadget who has been putting out ai-like article spam even before generative AI was released.

Call it cynical but these publishers are getting what they deserve. People stopped caring to sift through their content a long time ago.

This is an odd precedent to set, and I can only imagine it leads to US companies being more reluctant to setup EU officers.

If you think only untrustworthy instances are being blocked then I really don’t want to debate about Lemmy with you.

You must realize that the moment you say “just switch to another” you’ve lost 99% of your potential user base.

It took me signing up for Lemmy to realize why Lemmy is still a completely dead network.

Paywalled article

> we don’t care where you’re from if you’re great at what you do.

Yes, that’s true but isn’t what is happening here. They’re not bringing in H1Bs for their talent, they’re firing US workers so they bring in H1Bs to do the same job, but cheaper.

Break up ALL big tech.

Seriously. I can’t imagine how trivial it would be to just add a flag to my YouTube account permanently disabling shorts but they’d rather make it per device, per 30 days. Forget what we want to watch, we will use YouTube they way their PMs want.

All paywalled sites should be added to this.

Well, you’re wrong. Level 60 is incredibly fast to reach with how exponential experience scaling works. I can tell you’re not that knowledgeable about what’s going on with D4.

That sounds like exactly what the person you’re replying to did. What are you trying to say?

Also ironic that a paywalled news website is publishing something about people avoiding the news.

Costing money isn’t the problem. The problem is that people already have too many subscriptions and they won’t want to pay for one, let alone multiple sources that would give them a balanced feed of opinions/ideas/political viewpoints.

I’d argue checking out of news completely is more beneficial for society than paying for a single stream of ideas and the bias that comes along with that.

I imagine by the time a lawyer is experienced enough to be given a seat at the Supreme Court that they’re well past the point of needing an income.

With that being said, I’m not surprised in the slightest someone as corrupt as Thomas would have this opinion. Ginni Thomas and Clarence’s defense of her has forever tarnished the reputation of the Supreme Court and I don’t want to hear another word from his office. His replacement honestly cannot come soon enough.

> I haven’t had time to even look at it yet.

Yikes.

> Kids aren't allowed to do anything anymore.

Blame boomers.

The generation that invented participation trophies then started a culture war over them. The generation that espoused capitalism and made ever facet of human living and enjoyment cost money. The generation that destroyed privacy. The generation that destroyed the climate. The generation that believes resort towns in Mexico are more dangerous than large US cities. I could go on.

I grew up riding my bike across town as a teenager and being home by the time the street lights turned on. Kids these days don’t have that, and it’s showing.

Currency takes on the value in which people believe it holds. Bitcoin is no different, and would instantly crash in the scenario of a worldwide financial system collapse.

It’s juvenile to believe otherwise, and reaffirms the believe that Crypto is just a 21st century pyramid scheme.

More people are using Reddit and the average person is pretty dumb, so makes sense no?

Does anyone know of a HN client that supports keyboard blocking? I really don’t understand HN’s obsession with this game.

Aren’t they completely missing the point?

“Dated” unix cli tools were designed to do their job well and hand off any further needs to other tools.

Want syntax highlighting and line numbers with cat? Pipe it into a text editor or something.

I received my first ever ticket last year because everyone on the freeway was driving 80+ during Covid lockdown and I had to accelerate past that to be able to safely change lanes for an upcoming exit.

Completely clean record. Cop didn’t care. Quotas are gonna quota.

> If I see McKinsey on someone's resume, it's a huge red flag

I can’t wait for the day when engineers from Facebook or Google are treated the same way after all the harm those companies have caused is revealed.

Of course, in order to help out the unfortunate website operators, people should willingly give up pii that the same companies have shown they don’t give a damn about protecting. /s

This is the kicker here. Nothing else matters.

A business dedicated to privacy is completely incompetent if they can’t even use HTTPS.

I cancelled my sub minutes after learning about the news. I would hope the PIA engineer can see through what buyout propaganda they are being fed and see the writing on the wall.
