Eh, for all the talk about a generation, this feels like it could apply to every generation on social media. Doesn't matter whether they're boomers or generation X, millennials or generation z or generation alpha, they've oft

Eh, I've found LinkedIn moderately useful as a way to apply for jobs and share my CV. A few application forms have a field for it too. Still have no idea how anyone can even hope to use the news feed there though. It's just a seem

I feel like they'll always exist in some form. Regardless of how likely it is to get jobs through them, people are always willing to spend money on the unlikely hope of an easier/better life. People are still going to university a

It definitely shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, and should be the obvious choice to make on Nintendo's side too... But it's probably worth noting that it's Nintendo we're talking about, and the games industry

To be fair, it kinda makes sense. The person best equipped to criticise a game or work is probably often someone who's experienced it for the longest. That way, they get to know all the things that don't add up, get repetitive on

Feels more like a potentially useful testing tool for folks planning to convert their site to an SPA or something. If I wanted to say, convert my CMS driven site to a React SPA, this could let me get mockup versions of the components there

It's a pleasant surprise for sure, and one which seems to provide just about every feature you can want from such an app. Favourites, extending music, playing it offline, creating playlists, hiding songs that'd be classed as spoil

Would definitely be interesting to see the results of this. I suspect quite a few people use the view count as 'social proof', so it'd make sense that smaller channels and less popular videos would see a bit of a boost here.

Yeah I'm confused as to how it could solve these problems too. All the issues listed in the article come from the challenges inherent in moderating a large wiki used by millions of people, not from centralisation or technology. It does

The job market is an absolute trainwreck right now. Been looking for a few months or so, and despite a fairly decent number of interviews, it's been miserable finding anything resembling a good job as a web developer or software engine

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. As many large tech companies have found out the hard way (see also Alphabet, Amazon, arguably even Meta and Microsoft), the games industry is not like the tech industry as a whole when it comes to succ

Yeah, these are definitely points worth noting. Especially as in many cases, the way something is taught can have a huge effect on how well you do in it/understand it, and students will end up not liking subjects that they could have l

Sadly the reality for 99% of blogs and news sites nowadays. Makes me wonder whether this is part of the reason why social media sites, YouTube, etc have taken over as a source of information for many people now. Those sites are nightmarish

To be honest, you could say this about capitalism in general. Everything has to be huge no matter what industry it's in or what the product is, just because shareholders demand that impossible infinite growth.

It's mostly summarising the same points everyone else says about Google's search quality, but they're points worth remembering nonetheless. Google's relentless drive to get ad clicks, bring traffic to their products at t

It's probably worth reiterating just how big this leak/data breach is: 1TB of files were extracted by the hackers, including source code for at least Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black 2/White 2. Given the other reso

Sounds similar to most major world/cultural issues today. You can make the exact same argument about climate change for example. But at the same time, part of me wants to ask... why is this a problem? Why shouldn't we just use sci

Sadly I don't do very much online privacy wise, despite knowing that I should do way more. At best, I avoid cloud storage (I avoid any system that requires a continued fee for access/use where possible), use adblockers on every br

Hmm, perhaps the law should be that any business selling to the public has to provide a way to get human led support/contact someone at the company? Not sure how it'd work for companies whose entire purpose is "ultra cheap pr

The thing with captchas is that they're basically security by obscurity; the less sites/services use one, the less spam will get through. That's because if you're someone like Google or Facebook, the payoff for writing b

Yeah the more dedicated fans have usually gone off to the independent wiki instead, leaving the Fandom one a hellscape of rumours and outdated information. Just compare the versions of Nintendo wikis in the Nintendo Independent Wiki Allianc

Well, this wasn't on my bingo card for 2024. Then again, if the last couple of years should have taught me anything, it's that trying to predict Nintendo's decisions in advance is a fool's errand. It's the same comp

It's crazy how much this drama has seeped into every aspect of the WordPress ecosystem, and how Matt/Automattic have tried to make it everyone's concern by tying it into the .org site as well. Should raise some serious worrie

Makes perfect sense. If public transport is the most convenient method of travelling, then most people will use it. You get the society you design for, and most of Europe is designed for public transport first and foremost.

The technical solution is the only practical solution. People aren't gonna give up a large percentage of their lifestyle for the sake of some greater 'good', especially not if their leaders and influencers seem to have zero i

Quite possibly. The internet's existence means it's a lot easier to have hobbies and interests and friendships that your real life friends and family don't know about, that's for sure.

Because most people aren't that aware of their friends and relatives' hobbies and interests, nor the specifics about how they work. So if that person doesn't speak openly about them (and let's face it, most people won&#x

I would probably add more features to make it usable as a CMS, rather than just a blogging platform. At the moment, custom fields are basically unusable without a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields, and the same is true of custom post types

I don't make videos about technical topics for the most part, but I certainly do have a YouTube channel, where I talk about speedrun tech, glitches and video game mechanics, among other things: https://www.youtube.com/c
