Calling HN a privacy nightmare is pretty wild. But sure, let’s dilute the term even further until it loses all meaning. Websites that are truly privacy nightmares will be delighted.

Noticed that as well, it’s absolutely ridiculous. But judging by the amount of serious replies most people don’t seem to care.

It’s crazy that you’re getting downvoted. It seems, people WANT to be fed fake news as long as it aligns with their beliefs.

Why aren’t more people questioning this

Those testimonials are hilarious, I love that kind of self-deprecating humor (or the confidence to stand up to critics).

A community does not exist by itself. It is formed by its members, and if new members join, the community changes.

Old members might not like that (» eternal september), but “don’t force it into something that it’s not” is simply not the way this works…

That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.

Yeah, it’s a common fallacy in appliance brand discussions: “my grandma has a and it still works! You should buy one, too!”. First of all it’s survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don’t want to pay the price for reliable appliances).

The meme talks about how millennials DON’T iron anymore

Thanks for the insight! I just hope that Porto and Lisbon don’t turn into another Paris or Rome…

It really is sad. For more than 25 years I’ve been visiting Portugal (so yes, I’m part of the problem…) and every year it gets a bit worse: endless new hotels destroying the beautiful views of the cliffs, villages mostly catering the needs of tourists, …

I just wish I hadn’t told everyone how amazing it is in Portugal 🥲

I understand the issues with waterbeds, but for pillows I really don’t see the trouble: You don’t have to heat them or otherwise maintain them, except changing the water every few years, which is done in 3 minutes: unscrew, old water in the sink, new water in from the tap, close it up again.

Me too! Kind of astonished that nobody else even mentions them. I remember them being pretty hyped about a decade ago and I am still happy with my second water pillow so far.

Zu Ärzten mit schlechter Google-Bewertung [wegen zweitrangigen Kriterien] gehen.

Ist jetzt natürlich nur ein einzelner Datenpunkt, aber ich habe unlängst einen Termin am nächsten Tag (!) bei einem Facharzt in der Großstadt bekommen. Vermutlich, weil dessen Google-Bewertung irgendwo zwischen 2 und 3 Sternen gedümpelt ist - aber eben nur, weil er ein unfreundlicher, ungehobelter und unsensibler Mensch ist. Die Behandlung war auf technischer Ebene einwandfrei und auf den ruppigen Umgangston konnte ich mich ja vorher einstellen…
