Your opinions aren't the problem, and tech isn't the problem. It's entirely your bad-faith strawman arguments and trolling.

That feeling is correct: this site is better without you. Please put your money where your mouth is and leave.

I think your command of the English language might be your issue

Don't know if I'm biased but it seems there has been a slow but consistent and accelerating redditification of hacker news.

It's the AI hype and the people who think they are hackers because they can ask a LLM to write code.

Idk I feel like there are a lot of non-technical people who work in tech here now.

Yeah I think that's part of it.

Probably partly because reddit somehow seems to have become even worse over the last several years. So there are probably more people fleeing

As others have pointed out, we like tech.

We don't like what trillion-dollar supranational corporations and infinite VC money are doing with tech.

Hating things like "We're saving your precise movements and location for 10+ years" and "we're using AI to predict how much you can be charged for stuff" is not hating technology

I like tech

I don't like meta or anything it has done, or stands for

See that's crazy though.

You don't like open source ML (including or not including LLMs, depending on how you feel about them)

You don't like React?

You don't like PyTorch?

Like a lot of really smart and really dedicated people work on pretty cool stuff at Meta. You don't have to like Facebook, Instagram, etc to see that.

To be fair, anyone who genuinely likes React is probably insane?

Plenty of great projects are developed by people working at Meta. Doesn't change the fact that the company as a whole should be split in at least 6 parts, and at least two thirds of these parts should be regulated to death. And when it comes to activities that do not improve anyone's life such as advertisement and data collection, I do mean literally regulated into bankruptcy.

Lol, I try to do as little frontend as possible anyway, seems like React is better than many alternatives though?

The comment I responded to said Meta didn't do anything good, which is obviously affecting their opinion on whether Meta opposing European AI regulation can possibly be good. Certainly there's a lot of not great stuff Meta does.

No we like tech that works for the people/public, not against them. I know its a crazy idea.

Tech and techies don't like to be monopolized

If you don't hate big tech you haven't paying attention. Enshittification became a popular word for a reason.

I like tech, but I despise cults
