username3··on Chat GPT is the birth of the real Web 3.0, and it's not going to be fun
Web 4.0 will be deduplicating every possible opinion. We just choose from a path of opinions and we’re back to web directories.

What are examples of things about existence that are truly beautiful?

username3··on Tech giants lost more than $1T in value in the last 3 trading days
It’s not a bubble. This is seasonal.

> “Sell in May and go away” is an old Wall Street saying that suggests investors sell their stocks during the summer to avoid a seasonal decline in the stock market.

username3··on Texas man wins $75K suing telemarketers for illegal robo-calls
> "If people knew how to push back and started doing so, we could make this kind of endless spam unaffordable for the people who do it," Graham told Doost. "The hope is that there's enough of us who stand up, start pushing back, that it becomes more expensive for companies to negligently hire these telemarketers and participate in these telemarketing practices."

Is there a tutorial with templates for suing robocalls?

username3··on DuckDuckGo “down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation”
> they don't block propaganda sources that they don't think are propaganda

That’s the point of contention.

> But you're trying to phrase this like it's some kind of deliberate action or general policy on their part, and it just doesn't make any sense.

It doesn’t make sense because I’m saying that.

Users upset with DDG understand that everyone is blinded by bias, so don’t attempt to filter topics that can be affected by it.

The solution is give those users options for unfiltered results like they do with safe search.

username3··on DuckDuckGo “down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation”
> If search engines thought that their trusted sources were publishing disinformation, they wouldn't be trusted sources.

You’re confusing propaganda sources with fallible trusted sources.

username3··on DuckDuckGo “down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation”
> Why would they?

They should down-rank their trusted sources when their trusted sources publish disinformation. The problem is they don’t.

username3··on DuckDuckGo “down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation”
They won’t down-rank American disinformation from sources they trust or sources they favor.

This can all be solved by adding an option for results without down-ranking political disinformation.

username3··on DuckDuckGo “down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation”
I shouldn’t get American disinformation, but your trusted sources are untouchable.
username3··on The new silent majority: People who don't tweet
That is the obvious solution, but Twitter may lose revenue.

Twitter needs to incentivize using hashtags.

John Carmack can add hashtags to his tweets.

Someone can create an account that hashtags and quote retweet John Carmack’s tweets.

Can this or anything else flatten arrays of JSON objects to CSV?

username3··on This app does not support the App Store’s private and secure payment system
If Apple didn’t do this, we would blame Apple for doing nothing to prevent dark patterns.
username3··on The New York Times buys Wordle
What are the extra touches for those who never played Wordle?
username3··on The World of Vintage Operating Systems
This list reminded me of TempleOS. Looked up the Wikipedia article and learned Terry passed. I wasn’t a fan, but I remembered his posts on HN.
username3··on Javascript RORO pattern
Webstorm has inlay hints. I’ve been waiting for VS Code to add them.
username3··on Show HN: Time travel debugger for web development
Can this show code coverage like WebStorm’s spy-js to show which code was executed?
username3··on Please Bring Back Our Downvotes: Society Desperately Needs It
Society needs downvotes with context. Show me downvotes by left leaning and right leaning users. Left and right downvoting each other is noise. Show me when an echo chamber disagrees with itself.
username3··on Sublime Text 4
How can I save groups of tabs so side views won’t get lost if I switch to another tab?

Edit: ctrl+tab saves, but mouse clicking a tab loses

How can I open find results in a split view?

How can I open definitions and references in split views without using the mouse to hover and click?

Edit: F12 and shift+F12.
