The president actually tweeted it out for you

"I have a lifetime obligation to not talk about this," so im gonna post about it on the Internet.

It's great to finally see pushback. Even 6 months ago, this thread wouldve only been a luddite echo chamber.

Sad that HN is so far behind the times but better late than never

So your pihole blocked legitimate traffic. And thats somehow anthropics's fault, which you used to confirm your anti-ai bias.

You shouldn't hold your breath for that job offer

Reread it until it does make sense. Don't misread it and then claim it's wrong bc you don't get it

What? Was anyone forcing people off vim when vs code dropped? No, go use vim. Same here. Why are you acting persecuted when you can literally do nothing.

Dont let this article be blinders to you. Ssh does much more than obfuscate keypress timings. Not needing the chaff means turn it off and keep all the other benefits. It doesn't mean "revert to telnet"

Are we really taking the position that alcohol precipitated crimes are not a thing? If you take that position it's because DV and drunk driving are so normalized in this country that you don't even consider them heinous anymore. SAS, but understandable

My point is that HN is, in fact, social media.

HN may be more normalized, in the way that alcohol is more normal than meth in my circles. And folks my find HN to be more "useful", in the sense that I find being able to have a drink and socialize useful but don't feel the same way about casual adderall usage.

Unlike caffeine, however, (and this is the point I am responding to), I don't think that the HN is any -less- social media.

Caffeine is indeed a drug but has relatively (to alcohol) minor effects, especially looking at the longer-term differences- that's the point of the parent post.

I think that, like most of the social drinkers I know, the users of HN don't feel like there's anything abusive about how they are using it. I also see folks who are definitely getting their social media fix off the site.

Welcome to the waterfall development model. This is what companies did before enshitiffixation

I mean this came up several times in court. It's totally legal for him to order these things. It might be illegal for the generals to act on those orders. But then, because the order is legal by virtue of the officeholder issuing it then it's also illegal to refuse a lawful order. Only one set of illegal orders comes with a pardon though.

It's still one's duty to refuse an immoral order. The Allies convicted Nazis on that basis at Nuremberg, and "just following orders" was famously invalidated there.
