I borrowed from the library last month. It was thought provoking and I think it's aimed at younger people than myself.

On: Why are 38 percent of Stanford students saying they're disabled?

[LtWorf]

And make real disabled people unemployable.

Lol, what an uniquely USA point of view.

It's basically clippy without the funny animations.

Most people are under NDAs

[twojacobtwo → LtWorf]

I'm pretty sure no one is going to be hunting down NDA infractions on HN unless the poster is silly enough to give specifics about the workplace and time at which they solved the problem. If it takes some kind of investigative work to piece together the most basic details, I think that's within the terms of most NDAs anyway.

One of the last times I commented in a thread like this, someone looked at my profile (which has my real name), found me on LinkedIn, and then posted my employer's name in a reply to me, calling out an alleged conflict of interest (you can find it in my comment history and make a decision on that for yourself, if you're curious).

It's not worth the internet points for any of us to post details beyond what we do.

I think no equity isn't necessarily worse than equity followed by bankruptcy :D

Or they might know better than you. A painful idea.

[rtp4me → LtWorf]

Painful? What's painful when someone has a different opinion? I think that is healthy.

You need to buy fake stars on github, fake download it 2 millions time a day and ask an AI to spam about it on twitter/linkedin.

They also don't support having a space character in your password.

The difference is that you aren't forced to buy a game from steam.

[johnnyanmac → LtWorf]

You're not forced to buy an Iphone. You also weren't forced back in the day to use Internet explorer.

We should remember our history so we aren't doomed to repeat it.

You are forced to have a phone and there's only 2 bad choices.

Technically 3. Not much different from the Desktop situation. Just replace Microsoft with Google because Microsoft had the grace to bow out early.

Similar to desktop, I choose the middle ground between true freedom and walled garden. At least you Can de-googlefy 95% of Android. More than you can de-microsoft Windows.

3?

Samsung sells phones with their Tizen operating system.

Of course you could also buy one of the purism phones, jolla is apparently planning to ship phones too.

If you're willing to flash the phone, you can run postmarketos on loads of devices too.

I suspect the vast majority of people who are invested enough to want to avoid Android and iOS have the technical knowledge to install postmarketos.

Depends on the game - some are not available anywhere else.
