I'd recommend qbittorrent over transmission tbh.

Exactly. A lot of these people forget that they will be old too someday. Treat the elderly like shit now, you'll be treated like shit later.

(Also, I love the Half-Life reference in your username btw. ;) )

Are you making a joke or are you serious?

Ooh, I love learning new words. What's an "antifan"?

That assumes everyone's high school had a CS class. Mine certainly didn't.

Speaking out of genuine curiosity here, but what kinds of photos are you taking that require HDR?

If they have an idea, they can write it themselves, not use an AI to write it for them.

> Who cares?

I care. So do they.

Same with youtube. I only log into my Google account like once a month to check Gmail (it's not my daily driver), and I just "subscribe" to channels using RSS. But so often my feeds are red. Not always, but a lot of times at night (UTC-4) for sure.

Ah, no worries then. I apologize for misunderstanding. :)

Okay, well that's definitely a more interpretation that I didn't see. I may have misunderstood. Thanks, friend.

Hey, come on... I have ADHD and love reading. No need to use that as a bludgeon. It's unnecessary...

And of course removing the sticker often voids the warranty to boot!

They understand.

They do not care.

> Like there was something in the American DNA that was lacking in China

In most Americans' eyes, unfortunately, there was. It was just known by the name "American Exceptionalism". Yes, it's nonsense, but unfortunately it is nonsense that has historically been used by most empires throughout history, and believed just as fervently by said empires' populi since it's one of the central elements of imperialism as a whole.

Not parent, but while I can appreciate your viewpoint, I would like to point out that many many many books have abridged, reworded, simplified, or disambiguated versions for different audiences.

The Bible is I daresay the most famous of these. Translations aside, even the English versions have had significant alterations done to wording, spelling, and meaning depending on the version.

There's also the Great Illustrated Classics imprint for certain classic novels like H.G. Wells's The Invisible Man. (I read that one like 10 times as a kid and it's what got me into sci-fi as a whole I'd argue. Haha.)

Whether these alternate versions are good or bad is obviously up for debate and depends on the person, but I'm just saying that what SE does is hardly new in the publishing world.

I am aware.

So an unintended side effect?

It would certainly be nice to have a living wage, I can tell you that much! Haha. I could actually afford to spend more than $40 a week on food! :D

That would require the CEOs to admit they messed up.

A LOT of people don't make enough money to put away 6 months of savings. You can be the most financially responsible person in existence, but if you don't have the money, you don't have the money.

Seriously, just how privileged can you get?

I know you said not to, but I am genuinely curious, so here goes: how do you know? (I want to hear the story!)

That's because Mexican Coke has sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup.

Is this sarcasm?

Please tell me this is sarcasm.

> Or go on international trips more than once a year

Or, hell, go on trips period, let alone once a year. I went a couple states over last September to visit a friend and it damn near broke my wallet. I didn't even fly either. Just drove.

Not parent, but I am genuinely curious: is there a Hacker News browser extension you'd recommend? The text is so small by default that even though I'd like to read on my desktop, I typically only browse it via the Hacki android app.

Ah, okie dokes.

You also usually cite what you know. Maybe OP has not read the book.

Huh? Care to elaborate how Gitea is an inevitable cashgrab? Sure, it's not strictly copyleft, but it is licensed with the MIT License, and that is also the most popular license on GitHub.

Ah, yes, the ol' Bobby Tables maneuver. Haha.
