jjani··on Israel committing genocide in Gaza, scholars group says
Correct, this one is a very rare exception. There's indeed multiple reasons that it happens. But it does happen to the huge majority of them.
jjani··on Israel committing genocide in Gaza, scholars group says
They are allowed in, after which they're summarily executed by the IDF.

Aaand it's flagged/removed.

Almost no post on HN related to Israel remains unflagged.
jjani··on Next.js is infuriating
Significantly better than just React and a Node backend? I doubt it, what's the comparison here?

A deletion occurs in the family structure? Be prepared to get targeted with lots of products for the depressed.
jjani··on We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own
I reckon a whole lot of these things wouldn't hold up in court. Either Swedish court or EU court. If not, then German court, or Australian court.

Here in this very thread I'm quite sure there's dozens of people who have pretty much made millions off of the back of this exact thing, i.e. working as developers at the likes of Google, Meta and Apple, part of the machine.

We need those people to atone and start funding lawyers out of pocket and bringing such cases, rather than just chatting about woe is me. In Europe that is, where the judiciary is still much less captured - the US is a lost cause. Such lawsuits are also much cheaper than going up against MegaCorp in US court.

It is no coincidence whatsoever that the control accelerated at a pace seen never before just as those two words entered the vernacular. Censorship of such topics on places like Reddit and Youtube tenfolded. It scared them. It's the only thing that works.

For those about to look it up: Supermaven is dead.

> , a CEO that does not squeeze last the last penny out of users for shareholder value is just not doing their job

This has not always been the case. And still isn't in plenty of locales and companies. The S&P 500 of 2025 doesn't define immutable universal laws.

Eagerly awaiting Apple doing the same on Macs then. Let alone any Linux distribution.

Having to caveat it with "in the early '00s" already invalidates your thesis; it means we've managed to largely fix this issue on PC without resorting to giving away device ownership.

> Making sure the gun only fires when the trigger is pulled is requirement #1, #2 and #3 for any gun.

If this isn't satisfied you haven't made a gun, you've made a really shitty grenade.

It's quite fitting for the post and comment in question as well.
jjani··on The National Design Studio is a scam
> Dismantling 18F was a massive mistake.

Mistake to me implies unintended consequences that differ from the original goal. I've never heard anyone say "Opening Auschwitz was a massive mistake", as its consequences were exactly as intended. In the same way, dismantling 18F is not a mistake.

They should just mix up some "what"s with "how"s.

Kimi tends to be very.. casual from my usage, like informal millenial style, without being prompted to do so.

It's been two years now since such commonly agreed upon signs appeared yet by and large they're still just as present to this day.

Of course it won't have mattered. Doesn't mean that's not the reality we're facing right now.

> I hope the DOJ/FTC split Google into a dozen companies.

This is just such an insane thing to say. It's like a Russian posting "I really hope our DOJ/FTC splits up Lukoil into a dozen companies!". But Russians don't post that because they're actually sensible.

Honest answer? You need to lobby your national left-wing, pro-privacy parties to start being openly anti-immigration so that they can actually stop shrinking every year.

I'm sure this will be a massively unpopular one, but it doesn't change that this is the reality you're facing. Go look across the makeup of the EU parliament over the last 20 years and how it has shifted. Check the main reason people have voted this way. Then go look at how the EU parties vote.

"But it shouldn't be this way!" Then enjoy your further slide into authoritarianism.

> Everybody DEMANDS Google "do something" about malware, scam and fake apps. So it does.

Which Google department are you at? Some good stuff you've convinced yourself of here. My social circle is 99% normies, not once of them has ever brought this up. Normie news doesn't bring it up. You do though, to justify yourself.

Absolutely not. The French revolution overall had enormously positive effects on Europe in terms of equality. A quick look into that period across Western Europe will give you numerous cases where suddenly the powerful became uncharacteristically eager to let go off significant parts of their power. In fact this event may well have had the biggest such effect of any event in history.

A recent event last year in the US also immediately resulted in actions undertaken whereas peaceful protests did not. Mostly protective actions, but it showed a very clear impact, the contrast was stark.

Huh, Brazil is the poster child proving the opposite.

Censoring of e.g. Twitter in Brazil (and afaik India) has famously increased a lot after its takeover by US vice-president Musk.

As the other commenter pointed out, Russia's still live and kicking.

It doesn't take years to set up a local equivalent of Yandex, or indeed what Russia has set up. It's very feasible to do the same as Russia.
