Perhaps you meant to say that you’re happy they’re moving back toward broadly appealing topics instead of those resembling a rather small part of the population.
aintgonnatakeit··on Ask HN: Brother printers sending ink data to Amazon?
Exactly
aintgonnatakeit··on Open Air Schools of the 1900s
Inmates describes most public school children pretty well though. You got your locked doors, your tall fences, your armed guards, and a limited time to spend in the yard…err playground.
aintgonnatakeit··on I built Excel for Uber and they ditched it
Sup PLA. The Chinese people are intelligent and strong. Why don’t you let them express that strength freely?

Ahem, it’s a dinner jacket
aintgonnatakeit··on Threads blocks searches related to Covid and vaccines amid surge
It’s because we want the old Twitter back. If only Threads could be that.
aintgonnatakeit··on Retirement savings simulator
The boomers pretty clearly want a 20-year paid vacation on the backs of everyone else. I’m not sure how the working class pays for half the population to do that.
aintgonnatakeit··on Kentucky school districts cancel classes 2 weeks into school year due to Covid
I understand that psychiatric complications are common with COVID and especially repeated exposure. If you get vaccinated, it can help. Good luck.

aintgonnatakeit··on Airbnb Collapse Is Real
No. Some of us like interacting with people. Your dystopian and lonely viewpoint does not resonate.
aintgonnatakeit··on Tell HN: Reddit Removes Multiple Moderator Teams of Large Subreddits
Perhaps said individuals could show their suitability by purchasing an $8/month subscription. It should come with some kind of mark so people know you’re extra trustworthy.
aintgonnatakeit··on Oracle cuts hundreds of jobs, rescinds job offers in its health unit
Maybe Oracle could sue them into staying
aintgonnatakeit··on Amazon confirms it locked Microsoft engineer out his Echo gear over false claim
And how long have you been experiencing these paranoid episodes? Who is “they” ?
aintgonnatakeit··on 21st-century editors should keep their hands off of 20th-century books
You can say Stanford. It’s ok.
aintgonnatakeit··on Healthcare org with over 100 clinics uses GPT-4 to write medical records
Right up until it kills someone. Don’t confuse “healthcare” with “medicine.”
aintgonnatakeit··on Twitter engineering boss Foad Dabiri quits day after DeSantis launch glitches
Your argument is manipulative and fallacious. I doubt you have ever subscribed to the Atlantic.

1. Authors of articles do not necessarily reflect the viewpoint of the owners of a publication, except for articles clearly listed as editorial and representing the authors.

2. It is possible to believe that Twitter had become a racist alt-right hellsite (hint, it has) and yet want to connect with readers or potential readers. This is a commercial decision.

3. I’m curious what you think legacy media is doing since you provide no details and the rest of your post suggests you share some disturbing opinions on “MSM.”

aintgonnatakeit··on 12 years since Saab’s bankruptcy: Secret NEVS electric cars revealed
RAM 1500s are truck-shaped cars. When you add in Stellantis, it’s a brand best avoided.

Fun fact: 1 in 22 RAM 2500 drivers has had a DUI. Source: https://insurify.com/insights/car-models-with-the-most-duis/

aintgonnatakeit··on The last days of a 350-year-old family farm
It may become familiar, but it is no less confusing. I had to read that paragraph several times to understand who “they” were.
aintgonnatakeit··on Parts for stolen Hyundais and Kias are so scarce the cars are being totaled
These are excellent for murdering folks who accidentally turn into the wrong driveway.
aintgonnatakeit··on Significant breakthrough in search for Parkinson's biomarker
The first study has 3 patients. The second study is a little better, but not by much. Both have the same first author. If this were legitimate, some academic medical center in the US would have picked it up. Parkinson’s is a huge target, and this kind of thing makes a career. This is likely on the same level as horse dewormer for COVID.
aintgonnatakeit··on Why are lithium prices collapsing?
Same thing happens with the gas stove threads. I can’t believe that actual people are that invested in burning hydrocarbons.
aintgonnatakeit··on Amazon makes everything you buy more expensive, no matter where you buy it
This explains the growth in the low end but not the lack of decent mid-range options. We no longer have good/better/best. We only have shitty/best and one is 10x the price of the other. Of course Joe Blow isn’t going to spring for the 10x option; he can’t afford it. In the min-maxing of profit margins, we’ve lost the pretty ok. Also I didn’t blame the corporations man; I specifically blamed market consolidation, greedy investors, and the output of HBS.
aintgonnatakeit··on Amazon makes everything you buy more expensive, no matter where you buy it
It’s part of a broader trend of enshittification that has hollowed out the middle. I blame the concentration of market power in the hands of a few large companies, mostly privately held. So you can pay far more for something good, or you can resign yourself to replacing the garbage everyone sells these days in the rapacious pursuit of shareholder value extraction.
aintgonnatakeit··on Why do ships use “port” and “starboard” instead of “left” and “right?”
For wind, you have “lifted” (wind shift that takes you closer to your destination) and “headed” (similar but away) when going to weather. Downwind, it’s a little different as the wind just “shifts” and you trim sails or steer to take advantage.
