It's a bunch of smoke and mirrors akin to blockchain, bitcoin (and the entire web3/crypto space in general) - a whole bunch of hype and "evangelists" who keep saying it's going to change the world (and make them a whole lot of money in the process, how convenient!) but if you do look at it critically even at a surface level you realize it's just a bunch of really computationally expensive BS that isn't any better or more officient than existing status quo solutions.

Is the left wing bias in question not producing hate speech?
What about lying and fabricating facts about the Israel and Palestinian conflict?
last year I made a custom build of Iosevka using the customizer on the website and building it on my machine, and I can't use any other font now. If you like the general look of Iosevka, but prefer certain glyph variants over others - highly recommended to look into creating a custom iosevka build for yourself

I see all the staunch supporters of deregulation across the board that normally come out of the woodwork on HN are strangely absent.
Reminding me of my younger days, during my lolbertarian phase where I thought people would do the right thing and have safety procedures in place because "market forces" would shut them down if people died. To be that naive again...

As I’m getting older I’ve basically had to swear off alchohol and marijuana completely. Even if I don’t get intoxicated (or stoned), I nearly always just feel like absolute garbage the next day (not hangover, just feel gross and groggy). Sometimes it’s lasted for days, even when I only have one drink or smoke barely enough weed to get a little buzzed. Fortunately I’ve also reached a point where I just don’t really feel good from being intoxicated either so I don’t really have a recreational incentive to do it anymore either.
I don’t know how these things affect other people’s “sober lives” but if it’s anything like that I don’t see how people can function when getting intoxicated semi-regularly. The cost-benefit just seems completely lobsided.

Of course not, they’re too busy coming up with their own Ponzi scheme.

GoDaddy was the first software engineering job I worked for. I had interned there too. It's understandable that the external perception of the company is bad (and even sexist), but internally GoDaddy was a great place to work.
They're always a major sponsor of Grace Hopper. They were adamant about hiring women. They made my internship so much fun, and I am still friends with many of my co-interns from that summer. Of the places I worked for, GoDaddy was the only one I would say had a "family" like quality.

So it seems like the perception is justified then.
Only reason I still use it is because it's easier to cast to my google nest minis than Apple Podcasts.
