I sort of implied the other thing in my comment. But. There is no version of america that exists today where a billionaire gets sent to prison. This is the moment in history where this shit is possible and accepted. If…
Wouldn't it be amazing if their continued attitude of moving fast and breaking things was 45d chess. Instead of the unbelievable recklessness of tech Bros. Historically it's been one of those things.
I'll add. I once got stopped by a bunch of JW. And I wanted to practice my Dutch, and they were willing to talk to me in Dutch. They showed me a video about depression. And it was actually exceptionally good advice. It…
What? A Unix timestamp literally cannot ever be lower. Its a completely assinine comparison isn't it? This is comparative.
Reposting something I put in another doom scrolling thread quite a while now. And have had periods where I've done it almost religiously. It is addictive. And the effects linger a lot longer than the period of…
I can't disagree enough with this. Not everything needs to be understood in a technical context. Technology intersects with society, and understanding its impacts on that society is vital. Or in other words: the…
Extra vinegar please, I want my muffin drenched.
I think that was just autocorrect to be fair. Barm isn't in the standard dictionary
It does indeed, probably the heart of it.
As with most things on the UK, probably. I definitely used Bobbins. I used to think everyone called (cobs|bread cakes|rolls|barns) muffins, and it turns out it was just my small town that did it. As in, just my small…
I have a similar, albeit slightly different relationship with Reddit. It's not the arguing, it's the upvotes. Feeling like people agree with me. The faux-community building aspects of it all. I don't think the LLM idea…
To counter myself: I've also had periods where I'm doing two things that really help. I've been reading a lot (a lot.) of fiction recently. That kind of escapism is fantastic. I love being able to form the images in my…
I'm just not that annoyed by having to search for a flight, or train, or bus. Or make plans. Or find a restaurant. I'm not annoyed enough by these trivial tasks to want to outsource them. I don't want to ask Siri to…
All mediated by the Meta-Human Facebook and Instagram that these people want to shit into the world. I dream of a world where I never know if anything is real, or if the person I'm talking to is even human.
I must say, I've been engaged in a doomscrolling cycle for quite a while now. And have had periods where I've done it almost religiously. It is addictive. And the effects linger a lot longer than the period of…
Also NickelHook, which adds the native hooks into the Nickel application. I used it for intercepting http calls previously
Previously I built something using NickelHook https://github.com/Podginator/KoboOmnivoreConverter It took a lot of messing around trying to figure out how nickel fit together. This is much more … impressive.
I still use Omnivore, just self-hosted now. I recently added a better RSS Reader to it, so now I can get my rss feeds, and save them to my read it later list - and then read them on my Supernote using the android app or…
It'll never be too late to mitigate even worse effects. Remember that the defeatism is what people who want no change want.
Just the stupidest take you could ever have, well done.
WE FIXED THAT. We literally listened to professionals, introduced legislation and fixed it. The worst possible example you could use.
I think that individuals are capable of making ethical choices. I think that relying on individuals within for-profit businesses to make ethical decisions for the entire company is absolutely insane. Food-testing:…
I'd love to live in a world where companies compensate people correctly for the extra liability they're forced to take on. But my question for you is: Why do you think Amazon do this if it's not to specifically side…
I'm surprised to see so much of the rhetoric here being about what the concrete difference is... It is relatively easy to look that up, no? As far as I can see from a literal 5 second google search: - Liability for…
What companies do you think expect their employees to weigh the ethical ramifications of their work? I’d argue a lot of them expect the opposite. To suppress the ethical concerns. Even in recent memories you had Mark…
