It's a great time to switch to Linux.

Did you get permission from HN to do this?
There's no way I'd join something like this without the official stamp.

freaky-flowers was cool. How does it work?
greentext | 1 year ago | on: Boox Palma Review: A Phone-Sized E-Ink Android Device That Isn't a Phone
I tried their 25 inch monitor. E-Ink is such a better experience. I don't feel so jacked in to the matrix when I use it.
The ghosting and refresh rate are holding this technology back though. Definitely not main driver status yet.
LED and LCD screens seem to shift the brain into an agitated frequency. I wish they'd make more progress with E-Ink!

Solder the thing!
greentext | 1 year ago | on: Database “sharding” came from Ultima Online? (2009)
Yes. A lot of tech history has its roots in gaming. And Trammel is for carebears.

Nice. The "edit" portion was very clever!
Now write a short, trite comment.

The ship is strangely generalized in design. There's no specific bridge; no command center. There's no engineering section. I can identify no living quarters. There's no indication of life.
greentext | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What brought back the joy of programming for you?
Being reminded I didn't get into it for money and recognizing the tools and ideas the masses chose to define the industry are unbelievably terrible, delusional even.
greentext | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What are your favorite parables, anecdotes, idioms, etc.?
Wait, now there's two boxes.

Why don’t we have over-ocean cables to ferry cargo/cargo ships?
greentext | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: Which niche online businesses would you love to own?
Maybe something low effort and ironic like you'd find on a web ring, but even less effort.
greentext | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What are problems only Windows, macOS, or Linux has?
Windows is a telemetry nightmare and doesn't believe in free will.
MacOS is like a controlling father that lets you opt out with strings attached.
Linux lacks polish so it never feels like a reliable workhorse.
All these OSes surely are backdoored so it's choose your poison of who you want reading your email: shifty suit and ties or cyberpunk graybeards.

An ad supported freemium Raspberry Pi running pi-hole would really sum up the last decade in tech.

It looks like spaghetti code.
greentext | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: Why do you use Apple products?
I don't trust Apple anymore. Transitioning out. The thumb scans, then face scans, and then making Little Snitch not fully effective, and now they make their own chips so zero accountability as to what kind of functions are in those chips in a world with satellite internet.

Had fun killing an hour there, fun gameplay. Is there multiplayer?

greentext | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you have a problem you'd pay to have taken away?
Repeated stupidity in some areas.

There's plenty of Smeagols out there already. We need a Frodo.
