In simple terms; lots of competition and much of it is free. If you want basic breaking news, it's all over social media (often from the news sites themselves). If you want sports, tech, gaming, music, entertainment, art or other hobby

Personally I'd say the big change is more that programming has gotten less tedious/annoying rather than easier per se. A lot of older programming languages and operating systems and environments could probably be understood more e

No, they definitely make a society more free. The difference between being able to drive somewhere and having to walk or take public transport is huge. You can go places at your own pace rather than what's 'best for the majority&#

Hmm, I guess working on the website for a company that turned out to be a boiler room scam. They were a client of the agency I worked for, and sadly it seems like no one at said agency had really vetted them too well before accepting them a

Virtually none of them at the moment. Burnout has been kinda common this year so far.

Based on the hordes of AI generated models with OnlyFans profiles, it seems like it might already be having an effect. Wouldn't be surprised if it was being used for a lot of this sort of content on other sites and services too.

That's a super creative setup, and one that came surprisingly close to working. Do kinda wonder if Delta will rethink their system a bit now though, given the barcode based system is seemingly trivial to bypass.

So the difference between killing someone accidentally vs deliberately? If you deliberately kill someone with a vehicle, then that would also be murder and you'd get the same sort of punishment as if you used anything else. If you acci

I suspect the things built on the internet are a mixed bag more than the internet itself. On the one hand, the possibility to share information and learn more about the world is probably a huge positive, on the other hand stuff like social

Similarly, Mastercard and Visa should probably be subject to an antitrust investigation themselves for the same reason. Something as important as payment processing shouldn't be left up to a duopoly of large corporations that seem to b

Cars aren't the terrible thing that many pro urban folk here seem to make them out to be, and I suspect most people prefer driving them to cycling or using public transport. Similarly, the whole idea of automated driving becoming the d

Oh 100%. As the creator of a product, you're always going to find it easier to use than anyone else is. And this makes sense, since it's the unfamiliarity of a product or service that is arguably responsible for 90% of the learnin

This seems a bit misleading, since for many of these games they work fine without downloading the updates. If you don't connect Super Mario Bros Wonder or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to the internet, then version 1.0 is a

It varies significantly depending on the company based on my experience. At my current place, I wouldn't be surprised if Macs were the default type of computer for most staff, and even the execs probably used them as a result. At the j

As someone who's used Reddit for a while, it definitely seems like there's less interesting stuff being posted there, and that things are a lot quieter than they used to be. A lot of the more technical/in depth subreddits see

It's an interesting setup, and I like the idea of the service. But I'm not sure how well it'll work. Captchas have been fairly ineffective at stopping bots for a while now, and they'll only get worse as AI and vision mod

Honestly, it's about time we see a crackdown on companies that act like they're "too big to bother" when it comes to obeying the law and shutting down criminal activity. The problem is that the likes of Google, Facebook

The big change is that news in general has been 'unbundled', since everything you could possibly get from a newspaper or magazine in the olden days can now be gotten on its own via the internet (usually for free). The hard hitting

Feels like half the behaviours listed as low status would also be things associated with autism and other types of neurodiversity. For those of us in that situation, things like eye contact are difficult due to coming across as unnatural. M

Agreed. Apple's stubbornness and clear attempts to retaliate against everyone for these changes are not going to go well for them, and they need to realise that at some point. It's genuinely shocking how petty the company is actin

It's interesting many people mention crowdfunding as working for tabletop games. Seems like the setup lends itself better to those than video games, consumer products or traditional forms of media. Are there any reasons that may be the

That's a really cool story. Nice to see the ZPM Espresso machine actually got made. And yeah, that's another good point there. At least half the time, the problem with these projects isn't that they're intentional scams.

Ah Kickstarter. I see why they tried the blockchain thing, but it probably wasn't the best decision for that particular company given their audience's utter disdain for crypto and web 3 in general. As for this: > The biggest pr

I suspect basic HTML won't change much if at all. We're still using tags like html, head, body, title, h1-h6, p, img, etc after all these years, and I don't see them going anywhere. Of course, unless some sort of weird tech s

The problem is also that standards for what's 'acceptable' discourse vary wildly between countries and regions and subcultures and other groups. This might theoretically be ignorable by saying "well, everything will be r

Seems like a few interesting features to me. Shortcuts and categories definitely improve the PWA experience a bit, so they should be useful there. The switch control is long overdue, though it might be better if they standardised the stylin

Moderation is one of those things that basically cannot scale (properly) without human level AI or an absolute TON of resources. Any generalised system lacks too much context to do a good job, and any specialised one is too expensive/r

Yeah from what I can see, the games industry is going through what the broader tech industry is, just dialled up to eleven. People are being laid off left, right and centre (especially from larger companies), companies are shutting down aft
