barfingclouds··on Google to reduce workforce by 12k
Uhhhh, Google didn’t make Android, Google bought Android…
barfingclouds··on Tesla video promoting self-driving was staged, engineer testifies
People don’t die if an iPhone doesn’t work right. Autopilot/“fsd” on the other hand…
barfingclouds··on Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll
Yeah they’re trying to remove him from Tesla which he doesn’t want, so he actually has to find a replacement for Twitter
barfingclouds··on Apple blocks Coinbase Wallet
I’ll take me a good Steve Jobs quote any day. Thank you
barfingclouds··on FTX’s collapse was a crime, not an accident
He played a video game while talking to investors! That means he’s just like the rest of us! (??)
barfingclouds··on FTX’s collapse was a crime, not an accident
Yeah I listened to a podcast about it and they were seriously clueless. (Wall Street journal.) They basically said people got cold feet and de invested. They didn’t even get to the part where it was a Ponzi scheme
barfingclouds··on Deepest infrared image of universe
Couldn’t you just do basic photo touch ups to get the Hubble to look about the same???
barfingclouds··on Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade
We don’t need a bunch of old people/old men having these pseudo intellectual conversations about the healthcare of 17 year old girls. There doesn’t need to be these long paragraphs. Church and state need to be separated. Pro life people literally are enacting laws based on religious beliefs.

The simple answer is if you don’t want an abortion, don’t get one. Leave the health and safety of the rest of the population up to themselves.

barfingclouds··on Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade
This sounds all diplomatic and intellectual, but when a 16 year old gets a pregnancy from incest or rape, she’s totally screwed. I don’t think going towards the dark ages deserves this kind of “both sides” talk
barfingclouds··on Nuclear is back on the table for a green future
Santa susana is bad and something I’m even vocal about, but that was nuclear experiments, not nuclear power
barfingclouds··on Bugs are evolving to eat plastic, study finds
I hate when people get angry riled up over hypothetical scenarios that will not happen
barfingclouds··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone
I went from iPhone 13 mini, to iPhone SE 2020 and was way happier. That screen was too big and no home button sucks. I yesterday just bought an iPhone SE 1 (shape of the iPhone 5s) (the smallest/oldest phone AT&T will support because of 3g removal). Excited to try it out

Jelly 2
barfingclouds··on Long-term benzodiazepine use causes synapse loss and cognitive deficits in mice
This is exactly me
barfingclouds··on Long-term benzodiazepine use causes synapse loss and cognitive deficits in mice
I’ve taken benzos for half my life but I space them out in a way so they aren’t damaging like that. Yeah it can be bad how people don’t realize how damaging they can be. I’m really grateful for them, and they’ve saved me from burning out at my job multiple times (hypersensitive, social anxiety, likely autism)
barfingclouds··on California grid set record of 97% renewable power on April 3
Yeah California imports green energy from other states, and based on what you’re saying exports dirty energy. Maybe even to those same states.

The only critique I’ll say though is nuclear is definitely clean energy.

barfingclouds··on How can I get my boyfriend to stop digging his tunnel?
There’s a much scarier and bigger version of what OP is talking about and it’s very real.

Search “tunnel fire hazmat genius hacker” and you’ll probably find it

barfingclouds··on Canada to ban foreigners from buying homes
About time
barfingclouds··on OneWeb will resume satellite launches with SpaceX as the launch provider
Ah so this is what the best pro-invasion-by-Russia propaganda looks like. All in all it’s a really gross mindset
barfingclouds··on Arizona moves to ban recording video of police
Well the footage will show they were further away
barfingclouds··on Filters to block and remove copycat-websites from DuckDuckGo, Google and other
I think these are two completely separate issues and patching them together is a lot more about spinning a narrative than addressing them
barfingclouds··on My dishwasher won’t start until I let it update its firmware over the WiFi
Dishwasher makers already know how to make them properly. This whole thread makes me angry. Normal dishwashers don’t need bug updates.
barfingclouds··on My dishwasher won’t start until I let it update its firmware over the WiFi
I wish I was able to use the downvote button
barfingclouds··on The Demise of Scientific American
Acronyms are fun
barfingclouds··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
Maybe you have a case of “the grass is always greener.” 1 million dollars a year is a lot. Couldn’t you pretty easily save up and take 5 straight years off if you wanted? What’s to stop that from happening?
barfingclouds··on Reddit files to go public
Yeah Reddit’s different because it’s not public. Fuck this news is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. The only thing I could imagine worse is if Wikipedia went public or got bought by saudi Arabian investors
barfingclouds··on Reddit files to go public
God dammit
barfingclouds··on PSA: uBlock/AdBlocks on Chrome to lose function thanks to Manifestv3
I’ve been a long term chrome user. What’s a good alternative browser you’d recommend?
barfingclouds··on Facebook knows Instagram is toxic for teen girls, company documents show
Facebook is also specifically used in countries to rally violence against ethnic minorities. As in literally assisting genocide. Looking at it with rose colored glasses is missing a lot of the point.

In addition, Arab spring isn’t even a positive example. What have the aftermaths of that been?

barfingclouds··on Facebook knows Instagram is toxic for teen girls, company documents show
We aren’t smarter than these companies. They spend billions of dollars and hire top people in their fields to keep us engaged.

The idea that this is just a lack of willpower on our end is total bs
