She decided to go public on a podcast with shitty opinions and then is angry that she's being judged by them or that her business is affected by it. This isn't "outrage culture." That's what is supposed to happen.…
I like the fact that the list view is more like a notepad where you can just keep typing. Many other task list tools make you hit a few extra keys to create tasks and most of the time you just need a simple todo list.…
"We don't let managers code where I work." "...ended up with managers who slowly lost their technical skills and essentially fossilized, and couldn't make rational tech decisions" There's a connection here. A technical…
I use a food analogy when talking about tech consumption with my kids, so I'm fine with occasional junk food so long as they're keeping a well rounded diet and getting exercise. It takes some work to get there, but so…
The first 3-4 people mentioned in that article were connected to Facebook and Youtube, so "no shit" comes to mind when you think about them having a questionable relationship with tech and their own decision-making.…
This has always been a form of Luddism. Tech is inevitable. I view tech similarly to how I view sex-ed in 2018: it's been proven that if you do abstinence only education then bad things happen (teen pregnancies, stds,…
No, they didn't. The people that think Sarah Jeong is a racist are the kind of people that take Alex Jones seriously.
Jones is going to whine about being a victim regardless, since that's part of his character. He should be treated the same way nazi websites are and make it harder for him to make a profit off his bullshit. As I said…
You and others didn't read my last sentence and keep hiding behind childish free speech absolutism. Jones specifically used his platform to abuse people. He should have been banned a long time ago. This isn't just about…
You have more faith in human rationality than I do at this point. Making his content harder to get will reduce his legitimacy. Con men and frauds should not be treated with respect or debated. Also, Jones specifically…
So, what IS a good alternative to Gmail? Are any of the self-hosted alternatives actually better?
ICE really shouldn't exist in the first place. It's an unnecessary organization that is already proving it's dangerous, unorganized, and too powerful.
That mantra some of you repeat to yourselves all the time only gets you so far. The lack of self-awareness is probably part of how this mess got started in the first place.
Palmer Luckey has always been an interesting case to me since I can't figure out how a guy smart enough to build the stuff he has can be so incredibly dumb and out of touch with humanity when it comes to stuff like this.
I tend to lean more towards the classic introvert where too much interaction will tire me out after a while, but I make sure to spend time with people I care about on the weekends to balance things out and that's…
The struggle never really goes away and you have to accept that. You will have peaks where you're excited about something and super productive working late and then valleys where you go weeks feeling way less…
I've worked mostly remote for over 20 years, both as an engineer and a business owner. I wouldn't give it up for the world. However, simple fact: not all people are cut out for it. Some perfectly fine engineers are…
I've had the keyboard replaced twice for the exact same issue, the "B" key kept repeating. I'll probably have to pay extra if it happens again, but already you I've lost about days waiting on the repair since they have…
I had to have my keyboard replaced twice due to BB repeat issues. Same key both times even though they supposedly replaced the entire top of the keyboard. I still prefer working on an external keyboard, but when it's…
That's kind of a silly comment when we have proof that Facebook's poor design lead to abuse.
I recently setup on ZorroVPN after going through that list. It's a little on the pricier side (BlackVPN is another one I was considering with similar pricing), but the performance has been pretty good so far. They don't…
I don't look to it as a foolproof solution, but I do see it as a way to make things a little bit harder for someone that's trying to track me. The arguments here often sound similar to "experts" that complain about 2…
Having a dumb opinion is fine, but enacting laws that force others to abide by your stupid opinions is not. There's a huge difference. It's fine to argue about where the line should be drawn, but pretending the line…
Yeah, you're a bit late to the crazy train when it comes to Adams. He's been an unrefined troll online for quite some time. He'll talk politics or other bullshit and then say it was all just a joke when he gets called…
I can only give anecdotal evidence on this. I prefer to walk on my treadmill desk which tends to have less impact on my knees and hips. Standing or sitting without motion will eventually tire me or cause some pain,…
