smbullet··on Brave buys a search engine, promises no tracking, no profiling
That's a feature, not a bug. The point of the Brave ad blocker is to (optionally) replace unethical ads with ethical ones so you can compensate the content creators you browse. How is this scummy?
smbullet··on Google-free /e/ OS is now selling preloaded phones in the US, starting at $380
Agreed, I'd probably pick one up if my pinephone wasn't already in the mail.
smbullet··on The curious case of the handlebar bag scam
I've also been scammed with Ebay + PayPal. Now that I know how useless PayPal is I will never use them again. Never had any issues (or heard of people having issues) with requesting a chargeback with Citi or Chase.
smbullet··on Things Nerds Can Appreciate about Football’s Game Design
I don't understand the racism here. Millions of white kids, consisting of every position in football, would kill to get a chance to play professionally. You're acting like only black kids are allowed to be linemen.
smbullet··on School or Prison
Calling somebody sheltered is objectively a personal attack on this forum.
smbullet··on School or Prison
Rather than personal attacks you should take the time to actually respond to their comment if you feel so strongly against it.
smbullet··on Conservatives flock to Parler, claiming censorship on Facebook and Twitter
> It’s worth noting that the first thing Parler did was start censoring anyone unsupportive of their form of conservatism.

Thanks for the link but nothing in that article supports this comment. The only mention of content not allowed is:

1. Matze's post about spam, NSFW content, and death threats not being allowed (https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/styles/pubs/public...)

and

2. Matze's post about banning the accounts of a group of ANTIFA supporters (https://imgur.com/WaAMEyn). This image was linked without any context (perhaps because Matze posted this without any context) so we don't know why these accounts were banned.

smbullet··on Conservatives flock to Parler, claiming censorship on Facebook and Twitter
Do you have a source for this? Genuinely curious and couldn't find anything searching myself.
smbullet··on Is there still somebody in the Cairo community who is able to make a release?
Weird, I guess the first comment on your HN account isn't allowed to be political.

Just an FYI, all of your comments are getting automatically marked dead.
smbullet··on Gender and Race Preferences in Hiring at Silicon Valley Tech Firms [pdf]
They're saying it's dangerous to have an Us vs Them attitude when it comes to race.
smbullet··on Gender and Race Preferences in Hiring at Silicon Valley Tech Firms [pdf]
It's because they only want the world to be a better place for themselves.
smbullet··on Debunking an election fraud claim using open data and Dolt
I don't get it. What set of numbers is being used to plot this distribution?
smbullet··on Debunking an election fraud claim using open data and Dolt
Wait so the author was only able to debunk the first claim but actually corroborated the second. Can anyone offer an explanation to the ballots being returned before even being mailed?
smbullet··on Hacktoberfest Is Now Opt-In
> But no one is "forcing" you not to contribute to OSS.

The GP is talking about Hacktoberfest... Not sure how you got the impression that they are talking about OSS in general.

smbullet··on Trump says he is considering pardon for Edward Snowden
Probably because it's speculation.
smbullet··on Remove some offensive/archaic terminology from OpenSSL
This comment offends me, please consider changing it.
smbullet··on Law Enforcement’s “Warrior” Problem (2015)
Please don't deliberately misinterpret people's comments on this forum.
smbullet··on PWA Store
PWA's aren't for developers with the time and resources to build native apps. It's for web developers who want to improve the mobile experience on their sites.
smbullet··on Amazon scooped up data from its own sellers to launch competing products
I dislike Amazon as much as the next guy but let's not kid ourselves here. Consumers aren't looking for innovation in the paper towel market. They just want cheap stuff. If Amazon can make these products cheaper then the consumers win.
smbullet··on I tried to buy an actual barrel of crude oil (2015)
If we're not going to allow Outline we shouldn't allow paywalled articles on this forum.
smbullet··on Privacy Not Included
As a technical user I like the emoji and think it's creative. Just wanted to add some positivity to a sea of negative comments.
smbullet··on Koenigsegg’s 2.0-liter no-camshaft engine makes 600 horsepower
I promise that you don't have Koenigseggs racing up and down your block. These are perfomance vehicles that are rarely taken out, usually to tracks or shows, and contribute very little to the world's carbon pollution. Unless I missed something and they started making budget cars, it's really not a problem.
smbullet··on Coronavirus has disrupted supply chains for nearly 75% of U.S. companies
Source?
smbullet··on Startup Ideas 2020
Interesting thought. If TikTok got banned they would probably release a web interface for Americans or Android phones would suddenly become really popular among teens.
smbullet··on Ask HN: Which project does not have any good open-source alternatives?
Anyone know if any of the FL Studio alternatives are good?
smbullet··on Enough with the Dead Butterflies (2017)

smbullet··on The Porch Pirate of Potrero Hill Can’t Believe It Came to This
This whole article reads like I should be crying for this lady. She was given at least a dozen second chances - more than most people get - and she still continued to steal, lie, and abuse drugs in front of her daughter.
smbullet··on BlizzCon 2019 Protest “Full-Steam Ahead,” Say Organizers
Yeah just like 4chan. Except instead of anonymous it's public and instead of a message board it's real life. But other than that exactly like 4chan.
smbullet··on India is sending a rover to the moon, and the country is pumped
Hmm this is a really morbid thought but I wonder when we'll see the first person die on the moon. Will it be an astronaut or a civilian? What would be different today if the Apollo 11 crew never came back?
