jdkjs··on Dad takes down town's internet by mistake to get his kids offline
“By mistake”? This was absolutely criminal. And since this is a very small town (<1000), knowing the kind of people who live in small towns, I could very well believe this is a case of “fuck everybody else”
jdkjs··on Firefox And Pixar Animation Studios team up to help you show your true colors
What makes you think this money is going to development of the browser instead of… everything else they do?
jdkjs··on Ask HN: Why is there so little debate about the attack on Vodafone Portugal?
For some reason, every comment that suggests that this is a Russian hack has a green glow.
jdkjs··on Ask HN: Why is there a black bar on HN?
Or a “title” attribute so it has a tooltip.
jdkjs··on Apple’s iPhone has 56% share of the U.S. smartphone market
You just swipe from the left part of the screen.
jdkjs··on Texas sues Meta, saying it misused facial recognition data
Of course you get rights: the right to use the service!
jdkjs··on Texas sues Meta, saying it misused facial recognition data
If you don’t have the legal expertise or the time to read a contract you hire a lawyer to have him see if the contract is reasonable, or you don’t sign it.
jdkjs··on Texas sues Meta, saying it misused facial recognition data
I don’t read tos (as in contracts of online services) but I don’t cry when something unexpected happens because I didn’t read them.

It’s my right to sign contracts without reading them. It’s not my right to pretend I didn’t sign them because I didn’t read them.

jdkjs··on Texas sues Meta, saying it misused facial recognition data
Then don’t use the services. I wouldn’t sign a contract without reading it. “Your honour, I had no time to read the contract, therefore it’s void” seems a bad excuse.
jdkjs··on Tell HN: Reddit accounts cancellation/suspension caused by VPN usage
It seems obvious that this is the result of someone else having abused Reddit too much from PIA addresses.

I also find blanket proxy bans reasonable: it’s akin to refusing service to those who wear a balaclava to a store.

jdkjs··on GiveSendGo Has Been Hacked
That’s a very brave criticism of Soros you have there!
jdkjs··on Ask HN: Disillusioned with the direction of society and technology
I posted it sincerely, even though I don’t completely agree with it.
jdkjs··on Ask HN: Disillusioned with the direction of society and technology
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.
jdkjs··on Nearly a third of TV ads play to empty rooms
Spaniard here and I confirm. TV always on even at a low volume is a given no matter the circumstances. I think we’d all feel weird if that background noise wasn’t there. I’ve always imagined it’s the same everywhere in the world, but perhaps I’m wrong.
jdkjs··on Heterosexual HIV diagnoses overtake those in gay men for first time in a decade
…or heterosexuals are a hundred times less likely to engage in risky behaviour.
jdkjs··on Spotify sees spike in traffic to cancellation page: 196% week-on-week
What is SimilarWeb and how do they know that? Because I have a hunch that they are pulling the numbers out of their asses just so they are mentioned in articles from shitty blogs like this one.
jdkjs··on Twitter Problems?
Having the client make a request every second is a sure way of staying down in case of overload
jdkjs··on Why won’t anyone teach me math?
How did you interpret “immature” as “not smart enough”? A baby is not mature, which doesn’t mean he won’t grow up. “Immaturity” means that there’s room for improvement and that that improvement is attainable.

What I mean to say is that this issue stems from your misunderstanding of the meaning of the word “mature” and nothing else.

jdkjs··on Nike.com's robots.txt
Tap the AA button next to the url field and zoom off using the bottom left button.
jdkjs··on Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case
Why move on when I can live in fear and, what’s even better, legally compel the rest of people to live in fear as well?
jdkjs··on Flexbox Froggy – A game for learning CSS flexbox
Is it worth it to use flexbox now that grid exists? I’m not sure if they solve the same kind of problems.
jdkjs··on America’s Liberal Social Climate and Trends: Change in 283 General Variables
The fewer people who understand these complexities, the more money those who do make :)
jdkjs··on /r/antiwork: A tragedy of sanewashing and social gentrification
As far as I can tell, 4chan is vehemently against the current neoliberal wars. They laughed their asses off at the US abandoning Afghanistan and are questioning why the NATO has to be in Ukraine at all. Perhaps I misunderstood your tone.
jdkjs··on Ask HN: Why is the Ubuntu Software Center so buggy?
I assume they are short of money to make it work.

If it was because the developers are incompetent, they would’ve been fired. But when there’s no money, there’s no money.

jdkjs··on Don't allow animated favicons (2001)
Hilarious and cute at the same time.
jdkjs··on Is it safe to use __secret_internals_do_not_use_or_you_will_be_fired?
You mean “public APIs not being comprehensive enough”
jdkjs··on Ask HN: General Mood of the Community
I waste as little time as possible writing contrarian comments here because I know they will get flagged immediately and nobody will get to read them.
jdkjs··on Facebook loses users for the first time
People are hardwired to censor some words like that (like cov!d) precisely because of 1
jdkjs··on Regarding the Neil Young–Joe Rogan Spotify Saga
Spanish law makes sedition illegal as well. If apple is to remove encouragement of illegal acts they should remove all those podcasts.
