We all grow old. Your situation today may not be the same as tomorrow and you may find your smug self needing social security.


And when im old there sure as hell wont be any money left for me. Also its on the boomers for not maintaining the demographic pyramid required to sustain retirement benefits.


Americans have been saying that for at least 40 years.



Same story in the 90's. They'll do some maintenance and it will be fixed for a decade or so. Rinse and repeat.


So many far left conspiracy theories in here, blatant false accusations, assertions and wild fallacies.


So many that you can't take a moment to identify a few?


Does this news not make you frown? I wonder what level of censorship would it take for some people to stop and ask questions.


IIRC, last presidential election that was what we did in our county, voted on a machine, got a prinout, verified it, stuck it in the scanner and was done. I think I'm remembering it right?


Interesting notion, I'd never come across that before. I've seen many demos of what the Earth could look like with all the ice melted but I'm not sure any of them took what you're describing into account.


Posted 12 days ago under "Swiss Glaciers have shrunk..." and more previous to that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45503882

" The mass of ice on the earth's poles has also led to the shape of the planet via tectonics over thousands of millennia. As that mass melts and redistributes from a solid to a liquid spreading around the globe our spheroid will begin to rebound. We have sensors everywhere, even in space, so the resulting effects will not be a surprise to some when the 'mass'ive shift begins. As those tectonic events increase in frequency so too will volcanic activity so I ask if anyone else has been checking on such data? "

You're welcome to do that but you're wrong as far as the majority of selfhosters are concerned. Spend time on https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/ for more information about how widely people define it.


That's actually not correct at all.


> In my opinion, if your services had downtime today, you are not “self-hosting”.

Zero here.

> If you depend on anything which has “cloud” in its name, you are not “self-hosting”.

Minor dependency on OCI but no down time at all for any services I run.


> Host in house?

Yes, mostly.


That's informative, I wasn't aware of that way to view HN, thanks.


"authoritarian regimes"

It seems someone at F-Droid may have a political axe to grind with the current US presidency and the majority of the population of America who elected (1.)them.

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidentia...


majority of voting population

Don't get me wrong, I hold the "eligible but didn't vote" group equally accountable for the current regime, but it was not the majority of the population that voted for him.

"If "Did Not Vote" had been a presidential candidate, they would have beaten Donald Trump by 9.1 million votes, and they would have won 21 states, earning 265 electoral college votes to Trump's 175 and Harris's 98."

I have been told that Magats tend to not be able to accept information that disputes their previously held beliefs.

Thank you for providing such a crystal clear demonstration of that.
