on: Tell HN: iOS lets carriers add WiFi networks that you can’t stop from joining
I was able to disable auto-join and after 10 minutes it's not re-enabled. As a precaution I also set manually IP/Gateway/DNS to 127.0.0.1 for the "AT&T Wifi Passport" and "attwifi" networks and those settings also seem to persist. I'll check it again in 24 hours or so.

on: Pixabay has royalty free music you can use for free
You should put a warning on each track. When I first started trying Pixabay the only message for any given track was "Crediting isn't required, but linking back is greatly appreciated and allows music authors to gain exposure." There's nothing warning users that they will more than likely be hit with a copyright notice and will have to follow some specific steps to get around it. That's pretty annoying.

on: Pixabay has royalty free music you can use for free
Same thing here. I got hit from several pixabay tracks. It seems like bullshit if you're going to get a copyright claim unless you jump through this long list of hoops. Royalty free should be just that, with no strings attached.

on: Snap launches its first drone
The Mini SE requires the use of a controller. It's small and folds up. I didn't look into it enough to see if Snap's offering requires a controller or just uses a cell phone.

on: Snap launches its first drone
A DJI Mini SE[0] would give you 2.7k video, longer range, better performance, gimbal stabilized video, longer flight time, and GPS stabilized flight for about $50 more. The Mini 2 upgrades the camera to 4k but is a little pricier.

on: Law allows police to seize and sell cars of non-lawbreakers, keeping proceeds
“She was able to buy the car back.”
Think about that for a minute.
A state sanctioned gang decided her car, that she owned, was no longer her property. Then they were graceful enough to allow her to buy back her stolen property. It’s absolutely disgusting and unacceptable in modern society.
People like you who rationalize this behavior make me sick.

Between drug resistant parasites, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and global warming, I feel like humanity is in for a real treat.

on: How Science Makes “Rick and Morty” Great
It sounds like you're taking the show way more seriously than you should. Perhaps you just shouldn't watch it if it causes you that much anguish? The show does, on occasion, make subtle points about society as a whole. For example, S3E7. Sometimes you just need to read between the lines.
