If you click on the image in the tutorial it plays the short YouTube video of the project. There is another image as well that once clicked plays an hour long step by step guide. Neither image indicates it is clickable though which is a shame.


How would her work operate under Marxism? Would she get to keep the immense value? That's not my understanding of Marxism but maybe I'm mistaken.


I'd recommend reading about what surplus labour is so that you could better understand the relevant arguments.


I use ublock origin on Firefox and next dns on my router with a block list. I pay for ad free YouTube. My kids had a lesson in how annoying commercials are during a trip where they tried to watch a BBC animal documentary and had to see the same commercial five times in a row because I guess not enough advertisers signed up with the provider. I don't like billboards. I'm pretty sympathetic to getting rid of advertising and do so as much as possible in my own life.

That said this article glosses over the first amendment which absolutely needs to be considered because (at least in the United States) that is the big barrier to any sort of restriction.

Also the idea of what constitutes an ad. Billboards? What about large signs showing where a store is? Are people with big social media accounts allowed to tell us about their favorite products? Only if they don't get money? What if they get free products? We'll have financial audits I assume to make sure they aren't being sneaky. No more sponsored videos? What about listing the patreons that made the video possible?

How will this be sold to the people that need ads for their small business? We'll need a majority support to pass a constitutional amendment.

Anyway, this seems impossible but good luck!

For what it's worth, while I don't agree with the moron bit of what OP said, I have felt like I have seen HN leaning more pro-Trump. And it does also feel like saying anything critical of him can be heavily downvoted. There really does appear to be a large contingent of pro-Trump people on here, at least in my experience. I don't have citations, just my own experience, so, obviously take it for what it is.


Pay attention to usernames. There are some pro-Trump, pro-Russia people here, but honestly not that many. Maybe six or eight, total. They just tend to post 50 times each in any thread that touches on the subject.


Capital is inherently conservative and this is a website focused around venture capitalism. It makes sense that more than average this website's users/staff would lean towards more conservative politics than a random sample of Internet users. This should be even more clear when you read pg's essays. Of course this has an effect on the moderation, including voting/flagging.


My assumption was that something about the reporting changed. But I also don't know the answer.


I just got a Framework 16 laptop and can't get it set up because it gives an error that the input module connector board is not detected. I already opened a ticket with support but haven't yet heard back.

The face plate for the touchpad isn't flush with the faceplate with the side panels, which is sort of annoying. It could be resolved by having the touchpad panel the full width of the laptop instead of having spacers. Will there be an option to do that in the future?


Our support team is usually able to respond within 24 hours on weekdays, but if you haven't received a reply in longer than that, check if the response went to spam. Please also let them know about the touchpad.


This might be an example of a bubble you unknowingly live in. "Gutfeld" is the right wing equivalent and has more viewers than the Colbert late night show which you might have heard of.


Being in a bubble is not what makes Gutfeld not funny.

When your entire comedy seems to be built around "Hah the stupid left thinks trans women are real women but they were born with penises", well, that's just not very funny to people who tend to have a non-homogenous friend group.


Exactly, not all of us on the left are that stupid. It's just that a particularly stupid faction of the left is drawing a lot of attention on that topic. The rest of us see the concept of "male women" being as ridiculous as the right-wingers do.


The battery and the kit together cost $50. The kit seems to cost about $7 based on the price of just the battery: https://www.ifixit.com/products/google-pixel-6-battery-genui...

The replacement guide suggests about an hour to complete the task. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Google+Pixel+6+Battery+Replacem...

For contrast, some people need YouTube videos with step-by-step instructions to even open the hood of their car. They will take far longer to replace a car battery than it took you. Likely they'll also need to purchase a screwdriver.


Revoking a license isn't necessarily a form of censorship. A license can be revoked for reasons completely unrelated to the speech of the licensee. But if your purpose in revoking the license is because you hate the speech of the licensee and want to prevent them from broadcasting it, then yes, it is censorship.
