That sounds extremely annoying for the people receiving these emails, right?

Almost all organizations have hands cleaner than Meta lol

Yeah Kagi already exists luckily, it’s extremely good and worth the money.

> I was trying to hire more people because we're so busy with everything we needed to do

That’s how it was at my previous company also. If you asked any engineer there they’d say “I’m incredibly busy, and I need more headcount to get through the things on my plate”. Then they laid off 40% of the company because AI had made everything so efficient shrug

Just to clarify, until recently you were under the impression that the political advocacy organization you donated to had no political opinions of their own?

Unironically yes, save the children by not letting them be on smartphones all day during school.

Just pull over if you have things to text that can’t wait

If tariffs are so good, they should be happy that Amazon is doing free advertising of them on the Trump administration’s behalf. Why do they seem upset that people would know about the tariffs they’re so proud of? Such a mystery

Glad to see the party of “cut funding to cancer research to stop waste & fraud” is also the same party of “actually convicted acts of fraud should be legal”.

Libro.fm rules, been using it for years now. Same price as Amazon, has a vast majority of the books I've been interested in, and you get to pick a local bookstore to support and some portion of your subscription goes to them. Since we're on HN, you can actually download the audio files from Libro.fm as an officially-supported feature also for backups.

But, as also seen with DOGE, they’re careless and refuse to do even cursory research on anything beyond the first-order effects of their actions which, to me at least, seems like a terrible set of traits for being in charge of weaponry.

Oh yes, you're correct actually. The one I linked about was mentioned at the end of the article but the article makes clear that Elon Musk actually did hire multiple people with explicitly racist ties because they are not dealbreakers to him.

This staffer just got rehired btw because being publicly super racist 2 months ago is not a dealbreaker to Elon Musk's organization.

I’ll be honest, I have better things to do with my time then help you narrow down your personal definition of bigot. Sorry.

lol I don’t want the bigots and people sending death threats to exist, I’ll stand on a soapbox and say that

What problem do you think they’re causing that would warrant death threats?

god the language in that opt-out link is patronizing as hell. do AI people just assume everyone is happy to be a cog in their monetization scheme?

How is that relevant to the article that was posted?

Complaining that no one actually read or is engaging with the posted article is absolutely less whiny than airing grievances that are only tangentially related to the posted topic.

I’ve read through this twice and I can’t figure what you’re trying to both-sides here.

Kinda feels like the underpants gnomes thing then

1. Get in the news

2. ???

3. Environment is saved!

I agree with the other commenters about the scale of this “deriving inspiration from others” is where this feels wrong.

It feels similar to the ye olden debates on police surveillance. Acquiring a warrant to tail a suspect, tapping a single individual’s phone line, etc all feels like very normal run-of-the-mill police work that no one has a problem with. Collating your behavior across every website and device you own from a data broker is fundamentally the same thing as a single phone’s wiretap, but it obviously feels way grosser and more unethical because it scales way past the point of what you’d imagine as being acceptable.

Everyone is immune from traffic tickets in California because our cops are too lazy to enforce any traffic laws in the first place.

oh lol I got good news for you: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/network-pass

Counterpoint: have you seen the replies Twitter Blue users make? They’re so stupid, as a class of people.

Because Twitter Blue users get promoted to the top of everyone’s feeds and comments, and historically they just aren’t very bright or clever on average. The end result is Twitter actively making my feed worse to satisfy the ego of people not funny enough to get to the top of feeds naturally.

I use this plugin and it rules, it’s purged thousands of the most annoying people from my feed without me having to lift a finger.

Those same employees at Google have plenty of opportunity to tell their leaders this is a shitty idea, and yet here we are.

“Do you like the unabomber’s ideas but get embarrassed when you talk about the unabomber in front of your friends? Try talking about Ellul instead, you might sound more worldly that way”

> We can agree that killing people or trying to kill people is terrible, but

That last word in this quote should’ve been a red flag.

As someone else said, they mentioned that swearing is finally coming to autocorrect during the keynote. But if you want a fix faster than that (janky as this fix is), go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.

Write down each swear you want and then write the same word for what it should be replaced with. So write “fucking” and “fucking” in the two boxes, and then iOS will know that “fucking” is a word it should look out for and it’ll recognize it for both autocorrect and swipe typing.

Very stupid fix but a stupid fix is still a fix.
