fewgrehrehre··on Third editor fired in Elsevier’s citation cartel crackdown
Oh yeah, it's a fine post! Interesting read. But I don't think it's that silly to say that success for a person who espouses these views is success for the views themselves, and that a tone-shift might arise if gradually, more and more posts about inoffensive topics written by "Mr. Don't Worry About It ;)" make their way onto the front page.

A fun and interesting article!

I must however, take the time to be the ever-sensitive snowflake and highlight a troubling trend in this person's other posts. He seems to have some anti-trans leanings[1], refusing to gender people correctly and all that (and certainly not pushing back against comments which declare "M to Fs are psychotic bullies who would kill all of us to maintain their sacred illusion". Not to imply that one must rebuke every unkind thing in their comment section, but I hope you can understand that it is illustrative of his audience.). Now I'm no proponent of death threats or double standards, it's just a convenient way to highlight a lack of respect. He will misgender you if he does not like you, and he does not like any delusional transwomen[2].

He's also quite concerned about Canada's population. The capital-W White population specifically [3]. Note that this is presented separate from later graphs about TFWs, so I don't even think he has the right to hide behind that paper-tissue-thin shield. He is quite sad to see the Great White North get a little less white. I am not saying that Canada has managed its immigration well, but I do not believe that he is overly concerned with those matters.

I'm not here to litigate his arguments, I have other things to do with my life. He has his principles, and I have mine. I'm certain he'd be happy to talk for hours about the transwomen and the Indians and all the topics polite society cowers from. His anti-Zionism and dislike of the Rothchilds, I am certain, comes from a strongly-voiced anti-Imperalist lense.

Ah, yeah, a note that it remains unsolved might help with reader expectations. I didn't find that it affected my experience that much, but I can understand why it would.

If you love a niche blog and some quality writing, I would strongly recommend!
fewgrehrehre··on Ask HN: Things to Do on My Phone
If you want something a bit more out of the box than simply playing a game, give animating a spin! Just a simple flipbook-style animation app, there should be plenty out there. No need for pose-to-pose or anything at first, just try abstract, straight-ahead animation. If you find yourself gaining an interest, it's easy enough to pick up knowledge as you need it (if you do want a jumping-off point, I'd recommend Alan Becker's series[1] on the 12 principles of animation).

It's incredibly fun bringing even the simplest of things to life, and really rewarding getting to look back and see how your understanding of motion and weight grow over time.

fewgrehrehre··on Show HN: I made a tiny device for automatically recording digital pianos
I'm definitely not the target market for this, but I do want to say that this really scratches an itch for something that should exist, and I really want to compliment you on how fantastic the execution is! Very clean look in both the physical and digital realms, and I really appreciate just how fully featured it is! It really seems like the ideal version of what this product would be. Also love the idea of the bookmark pattern. Out of curiosity, is that customizable too?
fewgrehrehre··on Live imaging of ovulation in action reveals three distinct phases in mice
I wonder if the title should be amended to clarify this- I feel as though one would assume from the title that this is imagery from humans.

fewgrehrehre··on Internet Archive: Security breach alert
Damn, I had no idea about this. Definitely would've changed some things had I known that emails were public.

This honestly seems like a bit of a design flaw.

Not sure about you, but I'd use it with an RSS reader.
fewgrehrehre··on Teen Subcultures Are Fading. Pity the Poor Kids
What an amazingly shallow way to look at the half-connected, sedentary nature the internet has wrought upon The Youth. "We've shifted from one way of splitting hairs to a different hair splitting method, and this more casual, less committed hair-slitting approach is a failure"? Riveting.
