bbno4··on Discord is not documentation
Everytime I read something like this it's almost always because the author does not actually know how to use Discord.

There's some nice search features: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000468588-U...

And on top of this I'd push the Discord to use forum channels if they do not already https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/6208479917079-...

bbno4··on Coinbase Announces 18% Layoffs
I do not think they are gas fees, that wouldn't make sense. The description on that chart states: > Combined OpenSea and seller fees

Opensea takes a % fee, and the seller takes a % fee. Can you prove it's also including gas fees?

bbno4··on Alan Turing using math to repair his bike
He used maths*, Alan was British.

bbno4··on Web3 is centralized and inefficient
This is not entirely correct. NFTs can and do exist entirely on-chain.

bbno4··on Show HN: Read the Internet all at once – news, RSS, and newsletters on one page
Suggestion: Replace reddit r/worldnews with r/anime_titties because r/worldnews is biased towards Americans and does not accurately portray world news, more like American news 2.0 with a casual sprinkle of world-events that affect America.

Author here, that's because I made the gifs like weeks before the actual program was made and I am too lazy to spend an hour making gifs again
bbno4··on Ask HN: How do I improve boring README page?
Hey! I have around ~15k GitHub stars and am generally known for nice READMEs. My 3 biggest tips are: 1. Show what you do (better yet: let the user use your software) 2. Show how you're better than competitors (feature comparison) 3. Network effect (thanking contribs, people, other projects etc)

I wrote much more deeply about this on my blog: https://skerritt.blog/make-popular-open-source-projects/

bbno4··on UK parliament to debate requiring verified ID to open a social media account
Anyone in the UK can create a petition. Once a petition hits 100,000 signers it must be debated in parliament.

This is not the UK government wanting to debate this, but they will debate it as it has reached 100,000 signers.

bbno4··on Show HN: I taught my little brother JS, and he made this videogame in a week
Wow... Thought I was going to play for 10 maybe 15 seconds... I've never played a game for that long... This is seriously good. If you released this game without "little brother" I would think this was one of those amazing minimalist games. Thank you so much for making this!!
