Replace "Facebook" with "heroin" in your argument and see how ridiculous you sound.
What the actual fuck is going on with web development nowadays? Look at the sheer number of ancillary files in this repo: .agents .claude .config .cursor .dagster_home .depot .flox .github .husky .idea .interface-design…
As a disclaimer, the three iPhones I've ever purchased have all been used. I keep them for as long as possible. I don't use iCloud. I don't buy apps. In fact, I don't give Apple any money as far as I know. I wish a…
It's difficult for me to admit - because I really dislike Apple, Google, and the other predatory monopolies - but I wouldn't buy a car without CarPlay either. Like I said, it's not because I'm a fan of Apple. Honestly,…

Consumers need to fight back on this, and I don't just mean by protesting or complaining. Consumers need to start buying more used media instead of buying new. They need to use services like GOG.com instead of Steam,…
First website where I've had to disable first-party JavaScript just to be able to read a text-based article. Even Firefox's reader mode was hijacked by their anti-ad-blocker script. Shameful.
That's cool but your text-based web page won't even display in my browser which doesn't support webgl.
You might have the self-awareness and impulse control to stop yourself from getting addicted to these apps, but the majority of the world's population does not. These giant companies pour millions upon millions of…
This cannot be a genuine take from a real person.
The modern-day cigarette is such a perfect metaphor for social media. A cabal of unfathomably wealthy companies spreading their harmful products across the world; making them as addictive as possible while actively…
I would really, really love to know how much of our natural resources have been wasted in producing slop like this.
For anyone who isn't aware, just ignore the above user and their obviously absurdly reductive take.
Except this is self-censorship. The author chose to make it unavailable.
The author did make it unavailable. Nobody forced him to. He's kneecapping his own content and intentionally excluding UK users unnecessarily. Some random developer blog is absolutely not the target of the Online Safety…

Cool but maybe consider a different name? If I want to recommend this tool in a few weeks' time there is approximately 0% chance I'm remembering it's called something like "Charcuterie", despite the clever bit of…
Lots of nice tweaks, but the most important is missing: the ability to move the collapse comment buttons (`[-]`) to the left of commenters' usernames. Doing this makes the collapse buttons all aligned with each other,…
Website development should not require any build steps whatsoever and I will die on that hill.
The most obvious question, I know, but... why not just use plain Bash?
FYI the documentation seems to be outdated. On the Cookie Banner Reduction page[1] the section titled "Turn Cookie Banner Reduction on or off" talks about settings which don't exist (at least in the latest portable…
I understand it's not your area, but can you please politely tell your colleagues that the clickbait-type teaser questions from the latest model are absolutely infuriating and are quickly leading to me abandon the…
Yeah that's great and all, but can I get something which will let me delete iPhone contacts in bulk? It's 2026 and you have to delete contacts one at a time, or press and slide to select a group of them until you reach…
I admire your effort to increase user privacy but it's very difficult to argue that allowing a piece of proprietary closed-source software to make fundamental changes to your operating system is a good idea. For…
