Bear in mind Nintendo has ~0.005% of the employees Amazon does
_vqpz··on Show HN: I built a small browser engine from scratch in C++
Nowhere in the post does OP say this is a homework assignment. All they said was that they are a high school senior.
_vqpz··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
Yeah cause that's what he was talking about
_vqpz··on TikTok users can't upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues

_vqpz··on TikTok users can't upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues
>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.[0]

_vqpz··on TikTok users can't upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues
Because it has content that's enjoyable for them and they like to interact with the community. Same reason you're on hackernews.

What do you mean "you wonder where they are"? Do you even use tiktok to be able to see them? Because if you search about that on there you can find videos
_vqpz··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
In early 2016, it was by far the best Android offering available and it was a pitiful display for the operating system.
_vqpz··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
"Slow phone with slow animations" is a crazy assessment, I switched from Galaxy S7 to iPhone XR in 2018 because the Galaxy was (like every other Android I had) slow to do everything, applications would crash randomly and my phone would just give up and reboot without warning. Not to mention all of the killer Android features that Google had gotten rid of up to that point (RIP notification ticker, I miss you so much). What's the point of being able to sideload and customize when none of it works on a day to day basis? And when Google/other Android phone manufacturers insist on their phones being more and more similar to iPhone/iOS, the reasons to stay on Android go away too.
_vqpz··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
I have been using SwiftKey keyboard on iOS exclusively since 2018 and have had very few issues compared to Android where it regularly crashed
_vqpz··on What it's like to be banned from the US for fighting online hate
No, and I was not asking you
_vqpz··on What it's like to be banned from the US for fighting online hate
Do you think there should be any kind of moderation for hate speech?
_vqpz··on What it's like to be banned from the US for fighting online hate
So what suggestion do you have for people who don't want to deal with hate speech on platforms if the platforms won't do anything because it cuts into their bottom line?
_vqpz··on Why the Tech World Thinks the American Dream Is Dying
Are people charitable after tragedies now? Anecdotally, most people I know don't feel like they make enough to make donations to others.
_vqpz··on The Dilbert Afterlife
His response wouldn't have been anything beyond angry passive aggressive tweets.

_vqpz··on STFU
I don't know what makes you think passively aggressively playing the sound back at a person like that would illicit any better a response.
_vqpz··on STFU
The idea that 12 lines of vibe coded JavaScript prompted because someone was too scared to talk to someone disturbing him (but not enough to take a creep shot and blast him on Twitter) could make it to the top post of this website is quite sad.
_vqpz··on STFU
Prompted with spite
_vqpz··on Roam 50GB is now Roam 100GB
I guess the idea is that the Starlink URL is displayed after the title so it's redundant, but it definitely makes it impossible to understand at first glance if you're unfamiliar with Starlink service names
_vqpz··on Replit founder Amjad Masad isn’t afraid of Silicon Valley
You don't actually know how much it cost, you just believe what the police say despite the fact that they've provided no figures.

_vqpz··on ICE is using facial-recognition technology to quickly arrest people
The moderation team makes no difference on how people here interact with each other and the posts.
_vqpz··on ICE is using facial-recognition technology to quickly arrest people
Nothing about this forum is distinguished. Are you being serious? It's just reddit for tech nerds with the same problems
_vqpz··on ICE is using facial-recognition technology to quickly arrest people
Who ever said facial recognition wasn't going to threaten freedom? None of those points feel at all relevant or substantive to the topic of discussion

Notably trustworthy individual Marco Rubio
_vqpz··on I rebooted my social life
The author's picture is available in the article, he's not exactly Henry Cavill. Not sure what makes you think that's a requirement for hosting a successful social event

This is an LLM-ism.
