throwmeariver1··on Ask HN: What's the big deal about YT-dl when streaming has replaced downloading?
I feel a lot more people started using their usenet and torrent tracker accounts again. Especially if you are in Europe or the East you sometimes have no chance to even pay for the content you want to watch.
throwmeariver1··on The pressure to censor all layers of the legacy Internet stack is intense
He didn't get invites to do talks at fancy tech meetups in some time so he needed to do some unsubstantiated hot take again. It's also probably a shill for some web3 service he is "working" on we'll see in 2-3 days. That dude is all about other peoples money and other peoples ideas for at least 20 years now...
throwmeariver1··on Vampire Attack Twitter
That's going to be 0.000000032 Twitcoin. If you want a a coin to succeed you need to make the amount people pay easier to fathom. This goes especially for people that come from a fiat world.
throwmeariver1··on Dropbox Backup
After nearly two decades of trying everything else they finally came to the conclusion that a backup offering might fit really well with their file synching offering. I really don't get all the former unicorns trying to pivot away from their main product. Dropbox and Evernote wasted so much time and are now in a worse state than 5 years after launch.

Yeah, thanks op! /s
throwmeariver1··on Windows 10 China Government Edition
Because there was a discussion about a stripped windows 10 iso yesterday with a link to the China Government Edition. It's the Hackernews cycle of lazy ass karma farming.
throwmeariver1··on The Attribution Stack: How to Make Budget Decisions in a Post-iOS14 World
There was never a truth world it was always a world of trust and the trust got eroded in the last decades but it's still there. If you trust your business partner or your life partner you can make decisions without checking them. If you trust no one, your decision making is so hampered that even if you come to the right conclusion it's most certainly too late.
throwmeariver1··on Seashore: Easy to use Mac OS X image editing application for the rest of us
How does solving a random task make the software good? As I said it’s easy to use but it’s bad software. It’s non conformant to nearly all standards the encoders are decades old… it’s bad AND not maintained. Even Microsoft knows it that’s why it’s EOL.
throwmeariver1··on Seashore: Easy to use Mac OS X image editing application for the rest of us
MS Paints was neither simple nor intuitive it was easy to use and with the ease of use came a lot of bad habits and with the habits bad jpgs, giant tifs with 256 colors and the list goes on and on. MS Paint is and was a menace.
throwmeariver1··on DuckDuckGo Removes Pirate Sites and YouTube-DL from Its Search Results
No you are avoiding a simple question with a nothing burger answer.
throwmeariver1··on DuckDuckGo Removes Pirate Sites and YouTube-DL from Its Search Results
Because there is a tiny bit of truth in something doesn’t proof the whole sentiment to be true. It’s a fallacy for everyone like you who wants to cry gotcha and run away with their hands on their ears.
throwmeariver1··on DuckDuckGo Removes Pirate Sites and YouTube-DL from Its Search Results
Which search engine are you using now? I bet we will find them downranking for political reasons as well but I bet you are fine with their reasoning…
throwmeariver1··on Windows 10 minus the spyware plus added stability and security
Spyware on an executable level? Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
throwmeariver1··on My take on Elon's offer for Twitter
It's easy an idea that alienates more than 20-30% of your user base as he said they don't really care about politics and I believe him. Can be something simple like a fucked up redesign... looking at you Digg.
throwmeariver1··on Windows 10 minus the spyware plus added stability and security
Oh my that's so cute... not everything runs on a home router. lmao
throwmeariver1··on Windows 10 minus the spyware plus added stability and security
the configuration? what the fuck is this comment.
throwmeariver1··on Windows 10 minus the spyware plus added stability and security
Telemetry is a non issue if your network has a good nat in front… software updates on the other hand…
throwmeariver1··on Windows 10 minus the spyware plus added stability and security
If you are really that paranoid just get a LTSC license or use a different OS. The whole „cleaning up and shutting up“ windows craze kickstarted a whole new industry of snake oil and malware.
throwmeariver1··on Moskva cruiser sank while being towed in a storm – Russian Defense Ministry
We pretty much know that NATO is helping them immensely with battlefield overwatch there are awacs and other air assets 24/7 in the air around the borders of Ukraine. Harpoon is not yet delivered and the operators are still in training as are the ones for the switchblade system so it was most definitely a Neptun.
throwmeariver1··on Ask HN: Why do negative crypto articles dominate on HN?
No, crypto did not invent the financial scam either. I got lucky myself but I wouldn't tell my mom to put their retirement money into crypto and your sales pitch sounds more like a pitch for a cult than sane investment advice.
throwmeariver1··on NASA will test SpinLaunch's ability to fling satellites into orbit
With the extremely limited resources of earth we can't just throw something into space without knowing if there could be any future use.

Where did we put the energy dense radioactive stuff again? We could use it... Sorry boss we yeeted it into space.

throwmeariver1··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
You don't have to please your shareholders.
throwmeariver1··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
They banned the personal account of the president not the official account. The official account was tweeting until after the election. I would have loved to see if they would have banned the potus account if he tweeted from there but we'll never know.
throwmeariver1··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
The problem is not if there is free speech on the platform but how it's perceived you will always have an extrem loud minority (no matter what political orientation) that will drown out the rest of the platform just by crying about censorship. It will be interesting to see what will happen to them when there is nothing to cry about anymore.
throwmeariver1··on Ask HN: Why do negative crypto articles dominate on HN?
dotcom dipped and recovered all the time before the big crash... it was joke.
throwmeariver1··on Video games are kinda boring
HN likes controversial hot takes especially the users that are constantly here you usually get more nuanced comments later in the day.
throwmeariver1··on Apple's M1 Ultra comes with a 32MB TLB bottleneck
It's bait for bad journalists.
throwmeariver1··on Ask HN: Why do negative crypto articles dominate on HN?
So you are saying we will see crypto crash in 2-3 years? We are living in times were onboarding is the fastest and is getting faster all the time. TikTok first to 100 Million users was 1000x faster than Facebook. I strongly believe you have it in reverse.
throwmeariver1··on Ask HN: Why do negative crypto articles dominate on HN?
Whataboutism. Crypto is going on for over 12 years now. You can’t compare dotcom with crypto because 12 years after dotcom FAANG was up and running.
