Godspeed! And may the the bbq sauce life raft carry you safely across these treacherous waters.

I’m wheezing at the amount of existential dread in your question about BBQ sauces. Sorry man, life may be shitty right now but at least you’ve got a good sense of humor.

I fully agree. And it feels great to do something you believe in without expecting to recognized for it. I just tried to give an alternative to comment awards that would limit the visual noise.

You said there are NO trackers and I see 146 tracking attempts. It doesn’t matter how much data they collect, what you said is not right. Even the dev said that trackers are disabled when you get the ad free version which implies that trackers do exist otherwise. I have no horse in this race but it’s hard to have a discussion when people use such definitive and inaccurate statements.

I could kinda tolerate Reddit gold as an alternate way to donate. But then they added a boatload of awards and it just became annoying visual noise. I blocked all awards and I’m suprised there are people who miss them. Why not add a donator badge to user profiles if you want some kind of value for your donation?

Good for you. It’ nice to have different options! I prefer to play at home so I’d rather have my games on the big TV.

I’m running my emulators just fine in dev mode.

But how would you define the point at which our material needs are met? It feels like it’s an intrinsic desire for humans to gain an advantage over other people. Or at least we want the illusion of being able to gain an advantage through either hard work or gaming the system. For me it seems like capitalism lies in our nature and it requires a complete change of our societal values to move to a different system. Not saying that I think capitalism is a good thing.

Why would you not be able to bypass news paywalls? As long as one user pays for the service they can then crawl the site and host the content on a separate site.

It even says “Junk removal” on the business card!

Or until they implement a trust model that denies access to uncertified user-agents?

XL is such a counter-intuitive suffix for a compression format.

They don’t even allow me to delete my account. They suspended me (never posted anything) and now I’d need to beg to be unbanned, just to get off Mr. Elons wild ride. I’m in the EU so I’m thinking about making use of my right to be forgotten.

I blocked every meme community I’ve seen so far. But I must admit the one you posted together with the specific description of your meme-taste was kinda cute. I might subscribe to your curated meme-collection.

Looking great! Which font and icons do you use?

I really like the simplicity of this workflow by StreakyCobra on HN (explained as a blog post here):

I use:

git init --bare $HOME/.myconf
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.myconf/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config status.showUntrackedFiles no

where my ~/.myconf directory is a git bare repository. Then any file within the home folder can be versioned with normal commands like:

config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .config/redshift.conf
config commit -m "Add redshift config"
config push
And so one…

No extra tooling, no symlinks, files are tracked on a version control system, you can use different branches for different computers, you can replicate you configuration easily on new installation.

Man that was some solid engagement!

Buy me an oil rig and open a hacker space there. Pretty obvious choice no?
