I kind of feel no one is going to take this post seriously. Please know that my phone has been repaired several times. Sometimes it gets this glitch where it opens and closes all of the apps recently used rapidly. Despite my phone being "repaired" there is obviously still something very wrong with my phone. I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.


So the first was for water damage, but the last two times were just for screen and surrounding areas. I have wondered a few times if water damage could be messing with something or maybe the screen was never properly fixed. I go back and forth because it didn't do this until recently, so could it really be water damage? Should I just buy a new phone? And if this post isn't a poster a child for right to repair, I don't know what is!


Yes, I think it had that typo. Usually I chalk my phone typing random stuff to voice recognition despite, turning off everything in my power, but I was just laying in bed reading HN quite as can be when it happen so it really freaked me out.


I stand corrected. Yet ty ti used you. Is it just keyboard gibberish?


Yes on the native notes app. It's no longer synced to my iCloud because I couldn't afford the storage. Atleast, that's how I assume it works.


I don’t know anything about being founder and I pray this isn’t the case. She shouldn’t have to endure an hostile work environment and the company in itself is stupid for not recognizing her struggle because it will be repeated.


I’ve been wondering similar things myself. I abandoned front-end development and have been trying to relearn things I used to know as well as new things. I don’t even have a clue what kind of employment I could be worthy of and required steps to take to pursue it.


Can you elaborate on the “interactions” you have during video sessions? I’m kinda uneasy about video classes and would really appreciate it.


I have taken CS/Tech courses on both edX and Coursera. They are very passive. I have participated in a forum a few times, most of the time I tend to seek out other resources when I tend to get stuck.


I still sometimes feel awkward zooming with my doctor. I know it sounds silly. I’ve exploring various online learning opportunities.


Currently unemployed. I was studying python which somehow lead me to here. Normally I surf Reddit but I find hacker news to be less toxic in the comments.


I'm in the same boat.

I found Reddit to be one of the most hateful communities online. Checkout the Herman Cain award sub if you want proof.

In my 20s I wasted a ton of time arguing about politics and even my own life on that site. While 9/10 times I'd find someone fun, the 1/10 was spent absorbing pure vitriol.

Ultimately no one cares about what I think or how I choose to live my life. No normal person will spend all day trying to degrade others or celebrating another's death. But that's like half of Reddit.

Occasionally I'll still find something useful, usually related to programming. But I simply don't venture into anything else.


Mainstream Reddit, sure. However, the more esoteric your topic, the better Reddit gets.

For example, most of the specific game subs are hyper-focused on their topic with paper who genuinely want to know and talk about the scene.


Yes. It all depends which subs we join. My reddit feed is full of useful information and helpful people ('s posts). Though r/popular is garbage, if we join certain niche communities, it is fun and useful.


I'd agree with the general statement but some game subs are the _most_ toxic (I'm looking at you, /r/TheLastOfUs2).


def have to agree on this one, reddit is selective about what toxicity they allow and which ones they do not. it’s become the platform of hypocrisy. way too toxic than what it use to be, aaron swartz (co-founder of reddit who died in a us federal prison) would be crying in his grave


Aaron Swartz did not die in prison. He committed suicide. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz


Thank you for clarifying this. I remember it like it was yesterday. Big tragedy. People forget and move on, sadly. A lot of people were upset though and still are. This has to be something to "never forget". It has to.


If he didn't die, are you saying he's still alive?


He died in his apartment.


A sub that makes fun of people for vehemently denying a disease exists and then die from it? I can’t think of something as well deserved.

Now real examples would be subs like the old thedonald, and the myriad of extremely racist subreddits that are allowed to exist unchecked.


I post a lot on the /r/learnpython sub (different username) and while it does have its moments the community there is 90% positive supportive etc. I would not say the same for the site as a whole though.


"Stay for the empathy" which really is "how does that make you feel" versus "intellectual curiosity". Little surprise.


I think this is a great question. I’m looking forward to any useful replies.


I wouldn’t assume that.


I’m scared to read this. I’m interested in being able to do these things. I think my communication skills might be lacking and I haven’t figured out an approach that works for someone like me… but I definitely know that it’s something that needs improvement.
