hefner1456··on A drop in US births due to smartphone use? These researchers say so
Clearly its the radiation coming from peoples pockets near their privates:) I remember a time when people seriously worried about this.
hefner1456··on Nintendo's worst nightmare begins as Switch 2 games start running on PC and Mac
While I can't agree with how protective Nintendo are of there ips and some other shitty descisions they make, $80 really isnt that bad for a complete quality video game. I can remember seing ps1 games in 96 for $40 - $50 bucks and thinking how cheap that was. Unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo is a video game company and selling software is really the only thing that keeps them going. They are certainly not the greediest company by being overly protective of their business. I say this as someone who gave up on them because of the virtual game card crap.
hefner1456··on Why I Am a Programmer
lol. Sad part is I hear people talk like this all the time with absolute sincerity.
hefner1456··on Why I Am a Programmer
Sounds more like Anti-authoritarianism, but really it sounds like a frustrated young person that doesnt fit in and just wants to be themselves and is smart enough to recognize the hypocrisy around them. Being told your bad by bad people in incedibly frustrating when your young.
hefner1456··on King Ghidorah
Not sure but whenever I hear that name I think of this classic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_to_Your_Leader_(King_G...

What a gem I found https://web.archive.org/web/20091027102036/http://geocities....
hefner1456··on Meta’s new commercial terms will allow the scraping of news sites: experts
craigslist and meetup worked fine before facebook got everyone to leave them
hefner1456··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
I stayed with my kids Mother for this very reason. I feared the court would give her partial custody which would have been worse then me babysitting her. Shes a very manipulative person. Ill never forget when I read an article about a girl who had a narcissit for a mother, she said "my mom lies better then i tell the truth". Thats exactly how I felt. In mind at the time it seemed logical. I still dont know if leaving sooner would have been the better choice

She tried to poison him twice and he stayed with her. Now, thats ... uh ... love.. i think. She must have been one top notch narcissist to drag him along.
hefner1456··on Cbirds: A flock of birds in your terminal
Someone should make this but with a flock of seagulls running so far away. Night and day of course.
hefner1456··on Firefox version 157 is round (and how to make it less round)
I hate that we have to hover over elements to see the border that separates them these days. That and these thin disapearing scroll bars with no clicky arrow buttons. I feel I must be the only person that still wants to use those little arrows lol. Dont get me started on gray text on a white background. Accessibilty should always be #1.
hefner1456··on The 15-year search for a band that charted once and vanished
"child in time" by Deep Purple. My whole life this song would randomly get stuck in my head. I remember trying to figure this out at the bar when I was 30 with a bunch of people there and we figured it might be Rainbow. So I went home and listened through every Rainbow song, including the crap after Dio left and nothing. It drove me crazy, I even thought I made it up in my head lol. I cant remember how, but I eventually figured it out a few weeks later.

My dad loved Deep Purple so thats probably where the seed planted. lol

hefner1456··on The Nintendo 64 Partner-N64 Development Kit
Its interesting to see how mad they went just trying to avoid using discs
hefner1456··on Ask HN: What are you reading to your kids?
Calvin & Hobbes, Big Nate, Wimpy Kid. Calvin and Hobbes literaly got him to make a clone machine and got me to play Calvinball with him. lol
hefner1456··on The Beatles have permeated research papers across academic disciplines
My Son used to make me play Calvinball with him lol
hefner1456··on PostmarketOS is rebranding as Nura
If you don't like the name just be happy the new logo isn't a butthole like so many.
hefner1456··on I'm the mom in that viral Giants clip. Let me tell you about my husband
That actually sounds more like it. It probably would have went unnoticed.
hefner1456··on I'm the mom in that viral Giants clip. Let me tell you about my husband
If it was the other way around they would be saying what a hero he is lol.

Kinda off topic, but as a single Father I cant help but notice how much less of a support system Fathers get. When shit hits the fan its always people assuming the worst. A Fathers major support system is their Wives and Family. Good for him for having such a great Woman by his side... Im not complaining, just an observation

hefner1456··on Hister: A private search engine for the pages you visit and the files you keep
May I suggest Yahoox!
hefner1456··on Texas judge rules TikTok misled users on child safety feature
My son is trying to get me to get him a phone. His is reason is because all the 5th graders have them on the bus. Im so worried about these damn phones. It seems like this is how this generation of kids loses their innocence these days. Like here is a little box full of gossip and porn and things to envy over...idk maybe im just too damn worried lol
hefner1456··on I'm not addicted to the internet or my smartphone. I'm addicted to information
If you zoom in its actually 3 fonts. It looks line one of those Lain fan sites.

I actually like the font even though my eyes hate it. Its a short read so no biggie. Maybe remove the transparency for a sharper look and make the spacing of the 3 fonts slightly closer to each other.

hefner1456··on How the Disaster of "Forever Chemicals" Was Kept Secret
Just look up "firefighting foam military base". I know someone that had major thyroid issues due to this.
hefner1456··on I Missed Tilix, So I Built the Terminal I Wanted
Now Medium articles are behind a wall? It never ends.
hefner1456··on Kids These Days
Im a layman... but how do you measure social medias impacts, when everyones algorithm is different? If everyone is on it but having a different experience, how can that be measured? I imagine some are better at being resistant to it and can subconsciencly push it to more positive direction and ignore the depression-bait it starts feeding them when IT knows they are down... I was in a severly nacassistic relationship for years, and while I'm mostly over it, those few times a year I log into facebook, all it wants to do is remind me of it and feed me all this victim crap. It can't be healthy for a young mind to be staring at this all day, its absolutely manipulating. It's kind of messed up.
