tintedfireglass··on How long til we're all on Ozempic?
That's so dystopian. So you are just saying that society doesn't have time to take care of themselves, so we need some drugs to fix our collective horrid lifestyles? It's an easy temporary fix but what cascading effects might that cause on the future? Who knows?
tintedfireglass··on My daughter (7 years old) used HTML to make a website
Oh my god I did almost the same thing when I was 9, I think I lost the website though. I took excerpts from an encyclopedia on animals and made small blog style pages very similar to this . It was so fun!
tintedfireglass··on How I turned seemingly 'failed' experiments into a successful PhD
The first try I failed after 7 years while the second time I finished it in 5y4m with 99 hope. Hmm interesting

tintedfireglass··on The rarest book in American literature: Poe's Tamerlane
A content of a book is more important than the book itself. If the contents are preserved then what's the need of collecting the rare original copies other than cultural or heritage reasons?
tintedfireglass··on How hard it is to rival Visa/MC duopoly?

Now it's utterly useless and completely down. :(

tintedfireglass··on Privacy Nightmare on Wheels’: Every Car Brand Reviewed by Mozilla
Oh my god! That's real scary !
tintedfireglass··on Privacy Nightmare on Wheels’: Every Car Brand Reviewed by Mozilla
How? in what way? A car neither has cellular data nor has a fiber ethernet running through it. Does it collect data and relay it to a server whenever like a mobile phone is connected or a wifi network is connected or goes to a service center?
tintedfireglass··on Are any words the same in all languages?
Tamil uses Enthiran and Telugu uses maramanishi but colloquially the English word robot is used

No idea is unique, because the library of babel has all of the ideas humans can ever think of ;)
tintedfireglass··on Newpipe.net removed from Google search results due to DMCA take down request
Probably talking about ad-blockers? Not sure why brave was brought up as ad-blockers aren't brave-specific.
tintedfireglass··on Threads hits 5M signups in the first four hours
Meta products include whatsapp too which is a large portion of the pie but does not constitute as a social media app
tintedfireglass··on Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor?
I own 60hz, 90hz and 120hz displays and honestly can't find the difference between them. Everyone loves higher refresh rates but I can't feel ANY difference between them and they all feel the same. But I can see the difference when a game is at 60fps and 120fps on all of them. Not sure why
tintedfireglass··on Framework Laptop 16 Deep Dive: Display
yeah this Asus laptop (https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-home/vivobook/vivobook-pro-...) has the same resolution display for the same dimensions too. Maybe this is the only high dpi panel mass produced enough and 16'' doesn't have an economical version due to lower economies of scale? just a guess I am not very sure.
tintedfireglass··on Tell HN: YouTube download websites disappearing from Google search results
If Bing censors the results, DDG is automatically going to do it too. I don't think yall have your own web results. You buy it from Microsoft if I'm not wrong. If bing serves ddg censored results how would ddg try to "in-censor" the results??? is it even possible?
tintedfireglass··on Tell HN: YouTube download websites disappearing from Google search results
as companies go mainstream every company adopts the same methods. As time passes by ddg is starting to feel more like the YBG (Yandex Bing Google) search engines and less like a privacy friendly search engine.
tintedfireglass··on Tell HN: YouTube download websites disappearing from Google search results
for someone who uses newpipe already it is of no use. but for users of the standard YouTube client. Downloading this application is better than downloading a full fledged yt client and video player for downloading a few videos off of YouTube
tintedfireglass··on India official empties dam to retrieve lost phone
it's just a normal case of an average Indian government employee abusing their powers.
tintedfireglass··on China is calling in loans to dozens of countries from Pakistan to Kenya
pay off debt... to India
tintedfireglass··on Dandelion Root Recipes
but wild coconut palms are exactly the same as farmed/domesticated ones. There is no difference between them (atleast until before the green revolution)
tintedfireglass··on A weed is swallowing the Sonoran Desert
invasive species invade an ecosystem and mess up the ecological balance. Many species go extinct and a new ecological hierarchy is formed and the landscape changes. Isn't this what has been happening for eons? How did marsupials get to Australia from America, how did horses take over the Eurasian steppe, there are many example like that. Who are we to "manage and conserve" biodiversity? I don't think we have the power or the right to do that. just my 2¢.
