Decided to make this after this thread[0] earlier today, thinking it would be an easy way to see what it takes to make a web extension. It ended up being pretty underwhelming, but it works so I decided to release it.

It hides karma from the header and profile pages, removes comment points, and un-fades any comments that are faded.

I thought that sounded like a fun project to learn web extensions and decided to make a Chrome extension for that today: https://github.com/bdibs/DeKarmaHN. Hope it works for you.

Who's the they here? I thought they were hacked, not deplatformed by any of their service providers.

It looks that way.

Looks like some of it was archived though at https://web.archive.org/web/20210216153239/https://github.co....

Also still live at PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/endgame/

Thanks, I tried that before posting and it said everything was fine so I wondered if it was a regional issue.

Monopoly of what though, social media? They don't have any bearing on my life, and I'm sure that's shared with many people here specifically. They aren't murdering people and they aren't stopping the water supply, food supply, or anything essential to anyone. It's Facebook, we all love to hate them, but them saying they don't want to platform a seller of something is hardly equivalent to the government imprisoning someone for speech.

Freedom goes both ways, folks. You don't have to like it, most people usually don't.

I posted this here a few days ago, I believe it’s talking about the same patent and seems to still be up:

That private businesses can keep people off of their properties?

Absolutely, otherwise they can shut down your account with $15k in it and hold it for 6 months. Ask me how I know, haha.

Are you worried at all about sites abusing the transparency to rank higher, given they would know what to focus on to do so?

Thank you, dang! Keep up the great work.

> He dismisses fears that the surcharge will drive companies out of the city, saying the tax is modest in comparison to the cost of moving a business.

It doesn't seem like they're too worried about new businesses, they're just trying to hold the current ones hostage.

Except Rogan’s podcast is full length and unedited, which is exactly why he chose the format.

Pitter patter.

I’ve had a lot of success with https://hex.pm/packages/stripity_stripe.

I’m aware that Ruby/Rails isn’t that quick, but it seems mind boggling that an 800ms server response time is considered tolerated, and 200ms is satisfying. I’ve never used Ruby in production so maybe my reference point is off and this is more impressive than I’m giving it credit for.

They mentioned caching full HTML responses so I'm guessing that's what they're doing.

Posted a list, have a nice hike!

And is that with their javac or is it reserved only for their native image generation?

In that situation an email would have been nice, but just raising the price with no feature changes doesn’t warrant notification. Especially since existing customers would be charged their current rate anyways.

It's up for me.

Culture and compensation. Make sure they’re managed well and focus on their growth as individuals, not only in the scope of your business.

I don't like this new trend where some people believe certain facts are political. A fact is a fact, no matter which "side" you're on.

For anyone else who was wondering, you can tap the top of the address bar on iOS Safari. I think it has to be expanded first. I didn’t know that and hope it helps.

This is obviously overreach in my opinion, and (tangentially) might explain the bump in installs for my podcast player. I had a feature on COVID, guess I’m going to remove that... (I know that doesn’t protect the app from removal, but could delay it, I don’t know)

1 to 100 is easier than 100M to 250M (made up numbers, but you get the point).

Apple Pay does exactly this, shipping/billing address and all.
