IThinkImOKAY··on After spending $57M on Facebook ads, I was kicked off

They even give them a reason. How is:

truthful?

IThinkImOKAY··on Ask HN: What did you accomplish in 2020?
Stopped using reddit. Very good for my mental health.
IThinkImOKAY··on Random Number Generator Tutorial with Python
the `random` package is one my favorites. I like getting a random string from a list:

    strings = ['uno', 'dos', 'tres']
    print(random.choice(strings))
IThinkImOKAY··on PyPI XMLRPC Search endpoint remains disabled due to ongoing request volume
@victorgarric on GitHub has made a package that solves the problem (temporarily):

    pip install pip-search

    pip-search requests
I wonder though, why can't it just be searching from a local list?
IThinkImOKAY··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to add flying snowflakes to all the webpages
Very cool browser extension, does what it promised. An option to whitelist certain pages would be cool :)
IThinkImOKAY··on Ask HN: What have you done to keep finding interesting stuff on the internet?
Signed back up for HN.
IThinkImOKAY··on 500,000 cannabis cases expunged due to legalization
Just as they should be.

From the HN Guidelines ([0]):

>On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

It certainly gratified my intellectual curiosity.

IThinkImOKAY··on Show HN: New Sudoku app to practice advanced strategies
I like the PWA feature - I have added this to my PC, but I'll also be adding this to my phone as well. By the way, is it open-source?
IThinkImOKAY··on Web Scraping Legality
I would suggest adding an LLC. Also, I'd recommend adding a time-delay of some sort to whatever you're using. It'll make sure that you aren't using up much of their resources and don't get blocked :)
IThinkImOKAY··on Glenn Greenwald: Big Tech is censoring Covid debate
May someone explain what they are actually "censoring"?

IThinkImOKAY··on What's in the box? I cannot open it
have you tried taking off the lid?
IThinkImOKAY··on Best Linux distro for 2021 (tl;dr = Manjaro)
I never thought that the current year would determine which distribution I'd be using. I've always had a nick for Debian, no matter what.
IThinkImOKAY··on Ask HN: Is my repository analysis framework a good idea?
This would be very purposeful, I'd even use it myself.
IThinkImOKAY··on GTA 5 is better than Cyberpunk 2077
Yes, I've had the game completed for some time now. But still, cars that are bought aren't saved - unless parked in a garage/safehouse.
IThinkImOKAY··on Poll: What Is Your Gender
I think a lot more men use HN than women.
IThinkImOKAY··on GTA 5 is better than Cyberpunk 2077
The only thing I have against GTA V is that cars can't be saved in story mode. I hate paying 100,000+ upgrading a car, just for it to disappear after a mission is started.
IThinkImOKAY··on Command Line Interface Guidelines
This was very helpful. I am writing my own Python command line tool, and this provides a clear guideline.
IThinkImOKAY··on A survey of rust GUI libraries
lmao, what is this?

>I wonder how do you would define what is and what isn't 'hate speech'?

90% of "free speech" is just hate speech with an excuse

>Where would you draw the line on identifying what falls under either of these categories?

T_D brigading other subreddits... numerous times. And the endless transphobia, racism, sexism and homophobia? That's not "innocent".

>As for Discord Inc, it certainly lives up to its etymology I guess.

They are silly for using Discord in the first place. Discord isn't open-source, why use it?

>Permanently banning those that they disagree with.

A problem we see with many platforms. We must make our own. I like ruqqus.com and saidit.net.

>So guilty until proven innocent?

They haven't provided anything, other than a notice from one user that they were banned. And with the group's past history... there isn't much nice to say about them.

>Oh dear.

Oh dear, indeed.
