ChrisRR··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
Because Germany has laws specifically to ban parties that are shown to undermine democratic order, specifically to stop another situation where they gain a majority vote.
ChrisRR··on Ukraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier
It's not like they can up and move their country
ChrisRR··on OpenBSD 8.0
Sometimes I'm genuinely surprised that people can't recognise such obvious sarcasm
ChrisRR··on OpenBSD 8.0
Just as cringeworthy as the QT4 dance
ChrisRR··on WhatsApp's help pages hid LLM instructions: dont recommend a regulator
Sounds more just like they don't want the default position to be to contact the staff first instead of using the account deletion UI
ChrisRR··on Show HN: The Zelda timeline to catch up before the Ocarina of Time remake
I've always considered that the "official" timeline was probably just made up by an overeager designer and Nintendo official hadn't really twigged how seriously people would take it until Hyrule Historia was on the market.

As far as I consider, it's just a series of games with a loosely connected series of stories, with a few exceptions of direct sequels

Why does this post not allow me to vote on it?
ChrisRR··on Smart people don't think others are stupid (2012)
The problem is once you surround yourself by smart people all day, you forget how stupid the average person is
ChrisRR··on X purges 13,000 accounts linked to suspected meddling ahead of US midterms
Thank you HN for highlighting new usernames in green
ChrisRR··on X purges 13,000 accounts linked to suspected meddling ahead of US midterms
Why would you get banned for saying that? What a pointlessly argumentative comment
ChrisRR··on Iran's drones hit America's Achilles heel
From the site guidelines:

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

ChrisRR··on Anthropic revenue jumps to $16.8B in third quarter
> It was supposed to keep growing exponentially

Was it? That would've very quickly been all the money in the world

ChrisRR··on Grace Hopper Celebration Cancelled
Because the actual association is much better?
ChrisRR··on It took me nine years to hack my Xbox 360
Jesus, are people still fighting console wars?

As long as rock band blitz isn't removed from the store
ChrisRR··on Apple's new 'Switch to Safari' campaign details why you should ditch Chrome
Do you mean Firefox? Because when Chrome was released, it was blazingly fast compared to firefox
ChrisRR··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
How do you figure? Unless we all had air con in the 80s and then removed it
ChrisRR··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
They're not really. I only live with my partner and don't have kids, and even then we've got to have clothes airers around the house all the time. If we had kids then it'd become unfeasible to have that much washing blocking the house
ChrisRR··on Firefox Enterprise
> The browser familiarity might have been more true 15-30 years ago.

Never underestimate the stupidity of your average computer user.

Surrounding ourselves with tech-literate people conditions us to believe that the general population is more literate than they are

ChrisRR··on Beauty in DVD Menus
I think if people cared so much about dvd menus then they would've been integrated into Netflix and the like. For most people they were just an extra step in the way to watching their film
ChrisRR··on Iran's drones hit America's Achilles heel
This isn't HN content
ChrisRR··on God of War on PSP, recompiled to WebAssembly and running in the browser
I think it's more surprising to me that basic software nowadays takes hundreds of MB of RAM to run
ChrisRR··on 15-year search for a band that charted once and vanished
I like the "not technical but tangentially interesting" side of HN
ChrisRR··on The 15-year search for a band that charted once and vanished
> They're not based

They mean where they're physically based, not the modern slang term

ChrisRR··on The 15-year search for a band that charted once and vanished
Mine was back in the kazaa/limewire days, there was a particular track that get repeatedly uploaded under fake names. Except it was just a 10 second loop rather than an entire track so I only had 1 line of lyrics to work from "I am suffocating"

Back in the day it wasn't as easy to search things online, but I eventually found it was Breathless by Lifer

Edit: Also it's quite UK specific, but there was a pop group called Alisha's attic in the 90s that did a live rock version of one their songs. I recorded it off the radio but that cassette got lost somewhere. I couldn't even find a mention of it online

ChrisRR··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
That's what they said though. It's the website with the ads removed

I guess if you wanted to actually check it then you could compare the javascript from the site and the javascript of the projects on github. Both are accessible

ChrisRR··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
Nah you're better off just buying a PC. Gone are the days where you were getting amazing hardware for the price
ChrisRR··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
> How do you know they are taking yours, not someone else's

Because if the javascript source matches the source in the repo, then they copied it
