I want to start buying music (and film/series), to eventually be less dependent on services.
Where can I buy DRM free music (and film/series)?
Buying is a lot harder than pirating these days. Just join RED.

As someone who prefers iphones…
- iPhone wobble is real. Mostly mitigated by a proper case. Does the iPhone get a better camera in return? Usually in my experience.
- I don’t sort my photos. The semantic search has been sufficient, and I back everything up to my NAS via an iCloud docker shim.
- Chrome/chromium is adware garbage now. FireFox is the only browser I use. The FS API does sound great though. Enviable given how annoying it is to do work on an iPhone sometimes.
Try Brave on iOS. Adblock that works, and for free.
I’m skeptical of arguments like this. If we look at most impactful technologies since the year 1980, the Web is not even in my top 3. Personal computers, spreadsheet software, and desktop publishing have all done more to alter society and daily life than has the Web.
And yes, I recognize that the Web has already created profound change, in that every researcher now depends heavily on online databases, in that commerce faces a major disruption challenge, and in that information access has been completely changed. I just don’t think those changes are on the same level as the normalization of powerful computers on everyone’s desk, as our business processes becoming increasingly digitized, nor as the enablement for small businesses to produce professional-quality documents without having to maintain expensive typesetting equipment.
To me, the treating of the Web as “different” is still unsubstantiated. Could we get there? Absolutely. We just haven’t yet. But some people start to talk about it almost in a way that’s reminiscent of Pascal’s Wager, as if the slight chance of a godly reward from investing in Web technologies means it is rational to devote our all to it. But I’m still holding my breath.
This is not reddit.
If it’s all going to be step changes from now on, doesn’t this mean we’re in an AI bubble and it might burst at any moment?

Is Trump using antisemitism as an excuse to crack down on liberal universities? Because this will make people only more critical of Israel.
The point of this test is to decide whether to take statins. But statins are a problematic drug, see here: https://medium.com/@petilon/cholesterol-and-statins-e7d9d8ee...
That’s a horrible article to share as a source. Literally almost everything written there is wrong. What you’re doing is dangerous.

After seeing this post and the discussions in the comments, I created a poll to gauge how many hours the HN crowd typically works. Curious about the results.
