Thanks for the article, very insightful! I’m researching dev + AI workflows to build something to improve them. In your view, what’s the right granularity for storing and reusing context: A long file with lots of…
"Please show your ID to install an app" "Please show your ID to see protest pictures" "Please show your ID to have an opinion". The dystopian authoritarian future is here. Time to apologize to the 'tinfoil hats' that…
Yeah, if it serves OP as consolation I've been in full time employment 9 yrs. Sick of 'socialising' and I'm building my own thing with 0 people to take with me. I need full agency, I'm done with death by thousand…
Anybody knows the business reason for this feature to exist? most people here and in other places are incredibly frustrated with auto-translate and the inability to turn it off. I include myself in that bunch. There are…
Very impressed. As a programming impostor (never formally trained, and not working as programmer) I find the program 1) helped me to understand the basics of a full blown IDE dev cycle end to end 2) helped me to refine…
I've been using LibreWolf as my daily driver for a couple of years. Highly recommended! Available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Ranked as the highest for privacy protection in a 2022 study:…
https://ceh.org/latest/news-coverage/do-your-workout-clothes... Looks like plastics can enter the body through sweat glands. I threw away all my polyester workout clothing (which I loved to use) because of this concern.…
So many comments get caught on the wording 'deanonymization'. Is there a standardized definition of 'deanonymization' accross industry experts, privacy-conscious people and hackers? For many commenters, it looks like…
You're absolutely right it's dangerous. It's likely that I gave myself cancer by adopting this 'simplistic truth'. A decade ago I read about the keto diet and thought "why not?". Lots of positive stories about dropping…
Exactly... the whole point of the post is to elaborate on the problems of the modern internet (addiction, fakeness, shallowness...). It's not a subjective nostalgic rant but a good analysis of everything that's wrong…
I get what you're saying. It has character, that's for sure :) But have you tried to actually perform a task? Ie "I want to buy an animal-shaped robot". Your eyes don't have anchor points in such a chaotic layout, it's…
Beautiful writing. It comes at an interesting time for me. I'm in a full blown mid-life crisis where my state of mind fluctuates between full contentment and wishing I was doing more with life. This article made me…
And we all know how things go from there. First, eID is implemented as "just another, more convenient way to log in to your online services". Then, private organizations get pressure to implement eID (through soft power…
Thanks for your feedback. It's brave to judge a moral position as wrong, as that implies the judge is some sort of omniscient god :) Thinking more about it, in my case it's the number of people what would push me to…
If I flip the switch, one man will die because of my actions. If I don't flip the switch, 5 people will die because of bad luck. I'm inclined to let destiny decide the outcome and save the one man. Am I alone here?
To me, it's your thinking that's unhinged. You seem blind to the reality we live in. In your country, Nigel Farage had his banking account cancelled because of having the wrong ideology. What you qualify as impossible…
> It's amazing how much damage these cargo-cult UI/UX morons have done in the past ten years. They threw out several decades of usability pioneered by real HID experts for something that looks pretty but doesn't fucking…
I wouldn't blame the people who sold out. That team created a strong and delightful product. To me, blame goes to the people who took over and started to make bad decisions.
The way I see it, you have two routes: - Accept reality and the fact that this is a crude subject. Use psychological tools to feel less weird over time (ie get a lot of exposure to the stuff that you find unsettling).…
Good tip, but to offer a counter-point: I skip a lot of text when reading job descriptions because 99% of the time they are packed with marketing nonsense. It's so dull, meaningless and repetitive that it's sometimes…
In the article, the sentiment from many people is: companies already own my data anyway, so at least I'm getting something this time". In other words, the malicious actions from data predators (FAANG et al.) and the…
The threat is so broad that giving examples is trivial. One that immediately comes to mind: Imagine science discovers that 99% of people with a certain feature in their iris is likely to develop colon cancer. The…
I know I'm in the minority, but I dislike the fact that they count me as a Windows user just because I bought a Dell laptop. First thing I did was to install Linux and ditch all the crapware that came with my machine.
No, I found an exception: cheesoisseur - that is, cheese appreciator. At least in my experience. From years 0 to 25 I kept my taste in cheese simple. Then, one day at 25 I went to a wedding and tasted a couple strong…
Thanks for the effort, this is a fantastic resource. I installed 5 RSS reader apps in my Linux Mint machine to test the OPML. 4 of them failed to import the file: Thunderbird, Lifera, Quitrss and another one I forgot…
