Comment on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. 404 Media Tracked Themselves.
JustARegularNerd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoThat’s the first I’ve seen a HN web client. Why does it exist, and what’s the reason against linking directly to Y Combinator?
YCombinator is a VC fund trying to pretend like they’re hacker(tinkering) friendly community, when their business model is boosting their own companies/startups. And companies aren’t hitting those profits with people tinkering.

In all, that doesn’t align with the hacker ethos. They’re just capitalizing on what it stands for with a lot of techbro hubris.
The first step of limiting their influence is using a different opensource frontend.
Ycombinator is the Thiel funded Altman led cancer VC that originated the surveillance capitalism neonazi techbro situation we have today. It spearheaded the death of US democracy.
Fuck “Hacker News”, the people that hang around there are in major ways responsible for the shitty state the internet -and the world- is in now.
How so? HN is literally the only forum I know of which doesn’t require email to regsiter an account and has a free, publicly accessible API.
Look at the people who hang around there.
