a lot of these seem to be making the front page lately, i assume these are pointless if you regularly keep the windows open and air out the house?

i can't believe how out of touch some of these rich corporate execs are, as if everyone's aim in life should be to pour every ounce of their energy to make some massive trillion dollar corporation even richer

this capitalistic yearn for endless growth is such a parasitic meat grinder

they write these memos with "touching" stories, i started from the bottom here, 27 years, amazon is my life, blah blah, as if anyone, pardon my french, gives a flying fuck

i don't get why the author makes it out to be some big conspiracy, many people including myself are very happy with wireless headphones and would never go back to the hassle of untangling wires

also there are wireless headphones which have 24 hour battery life

> becoming more and more difficult to ask a simple question on the internet

i know people here like to hate on discord servers, but this is one thing they shine at, it's easy to drop in and just ask a damn simple question to people that are online, in real time

From the discussions I've read, it's not as clear cut, e.g.:

Some good points, thanks.

FWIW, I have been using it with Plex (just two users, me and my parents) and haven't gotten banned. The ToS are kind of unclear on whether this is allowed if I have to be honest.

Instead of using DDNS, I have been using Cloudflare tunnels to expose my home services to the internet. The setup is much simpler and it seems like it's more secure too

You specify a port and point it to a subdomain and it just immediately works, no maintenance necessary. The daemon only needs to be installed once with a simple terminal command

Look at OP's previous posts. This is just a low quality advertisement. They might not even be a real person

> incredibly easy to do with existing css

care to demonstrate? given a dynamic collection of images where you don't know the aspect ratios beforehand

is this satire?

i've been seeing this pattern on so many posts on hn that criticize basically anything. i'm not trying to have a stab at you specifically btw, this is more meta

> x is bad because of this obvious reason that it is bad

> "but y and z are also bad!"

what is that supposed to be a rebuttal to? is the implication that we should.. do nothing because everything else is also shit? i don't see why turbotax in this instance shouldn't be punished. that would set a nice precedent at least

what is a 'super key'?

the only thing that bothers me about hn is that it doesn't let you delete posts so it gets annoying having to rotate accounts as you slowly dox yourself by revealing more and more info

for a social website where so many users are privacy advocates this is surprising to me

yes you can email dang or whatever but that is like having to phone up to cancel an online subscription, dark pattern friction bs

no one ever got fired for choosing react though. that chart library? already exists. mobile? react native. some weird combo box autocomplete ui component? someone already wrote that, just reuse it. dev tooling with debugging and profiling and all the memes. new hires know where to start.

ecosystem is king

i'd love to learn more about this but i think banks don't actually know you have a subscription or how long is it, they just let the vendor charge you repeatedly and you have the option to revoke this permission through your bank (so the result would be a transaction failed upon next renewal, which not exactly the same as cancelling your subscription through the vendor)

this is one place where middlemen actually shine imho, like apple managing your app subscriptions for you all in once place making them easy to cancel

that's their problem to deal with. why is everyone here going all 'think of the poor corporations'
