What kind of systems are generating enough useful analytics data to ever scale to petabytes in the first place? It's difficult (for my bird brain, at least) to imagine a scenario where such volume of analytics data…
Yeah that's cool but your blog won't load on my hardened Firefox: - Uncaught TypeError: navigator.sendBeacon is not a function - Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: WebAssembly is not defined Not sure why a blog entry…
I wholeheartedly agree on every point. I've felt this way for years. It's scandalous. Many companies also rely on socials as their only effective means of customer service. If you have a problem or want to provide…

Most of the time when people try to define healthy food vs. junk food in a fair and unbiased way, the line gets drawn at "whole foods" vs "processed foods". A typical burger meal is definitely processed food because the…

Apple will never, ever add anything even close to that kind of functionality. This is a company which took SEVENTEEN YEARS before it allowed iPhone users to have gaps between app icons on their home screens. If you have…

Why does this article use backticks instead of apostrophes?
Yeah, my experience of Twitter has improved dramatically since I deleted my account and disavowed it completely. I don't even visit the domain. If I need to visit a link, I'll change the domain to xcancel.com instead.…
I'd happily drive a Chinese car but I've yet to see one which has physical buttons for controls. They all seem to have gigantic tablet displays. I categorically refuse to buy a car where I can't adjust the climate…
1. Why is this website blocked when I try browsing it using Brave? 2. Why on earth would you want a financial product from a WAF?content delivery company?
But then how do you make knee-jerk reactions on social media to vilify those who hold politically opposite views to yours?

Wow. Opinions on LLMs aside, the CEO writing an article like that makes me think fly.io is a deeply unserious company.

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…
