Reddit did more to deter their users on their own than the boycott did.

I was a big supporter and regular user for reddit 10 years ago, but it slowly devolved from where discussions happened first to being fully reactionary/reposted content. I can't remember the last time I found out about something because of reddit. Mixed with them killing off reddit coins yesterday I say good riddance.

I'd rather be on hn

When Meta tried to force users to sign into facebook for their quest everyone hated it so they backtracked to allowing standalone oculus accounts.

It's no secret Instragram has an issue with bots. Meta probably wishes their VR platform had the same problem haha.

With how many hours some drivers put in daily I'm convinced they already are robots.

Anyone know if there any publically traded companies currently operating in the edible insect market?

Would be nice if we could add music/audio to it, but as is it's a really simple editor with all the basic features and thank you so much for not requiring an account.

Hope you get the chance to build on it.

OpenVoice has been around for a couple of years I thought. What's new?

Smart phone addiction is going to be what kids in the future blame their Millennial parents for.

We millennials got our parents hooked on them so they would stop bothering us for the bad habbit ourselves.

Whichever young generation has to deal with an infrastructure crippling solar flare will probably be less dependant, but society has a number of digital vices. None of which are going away, but they are the product of demand.

I would honestly prefer a move back to individually owned and moderated forums compared to the world of subreddits and hashtags we live in.

Best of luck with the new board!

I would argue the best time to post is early morning on a Monday when everyone starts getting into the office.

Would be really interesting to see data for a timeline of when hnews is most and least active relative to number of new posts.

Great advice for titles. If a title is too vague I won't even look at it.

Are there any known apps that have been built with this yet? They have the examples, but the one app they have listed in the showcase isn't available.

Made a site like thisiswhyimbroke that did fairly well. Affiliate links 10 years ago could get surprisingly lucrative. Sold it after awhile for 50k and moved on to the next project.

Most any passive projects either going to require significant up front investment or some regular re-investment so sometimes it's better to cash out when you can.

Of all the google services for them to sunset Google Domains was not one I was not ready for, but lesson learned. I've been trying to decide where to move to since the announcement.

Name.com is my tried and true fall back, but dyndot is pretty appealing with their app which is something I've wanted from a registrar for awhile. Just wish they offered more domain TLDs.

So my plan is to use dynadot for domains they support, and Name.com for everything else.

It's a real shame. Personally avoiding Google services from now on.

Years ago I used a service called Magic Assistant. Some folks here might remember them. They were okay at first, but the quality dropped.

Went a few years without needing one and when I went to look them up found getmagic.com

Not sure if it's a related service or not, but they worked well for the work I needed them to do. Fiverr and hiring direct can save you some money, but you need to be extremely clear with what you need done. Using one to look for new work can definitely be lucarative too.
