How on earth did any of this make it through a code review and get merged in? It seems absurdly careless, unless I am missing something.

Can't say I've used pocket, but I think the newsletter-saving (generated email addresses), open source/selfhostability, and api were differentiators that made me actually start using Omnivore - I wouldn't trust closed so

I believe it saves a reader-mode version of whatever you feed it, by default? I also pull a copy into my Obsidian vault using the plugin/api, but it's easy to implement with the api if you don't want Obsidian too. Makes it ve

https://omnivore.app basically entirely filled that void in my life. 100% recommend.

Last I checked, I believe using the Spotify API for a player (or, explicitly called out, a music quiz app) is against their terms

I suppose the question is if you have a "right to bear arms" or a "right to bear arms that shall be unhampered by the government of the USA" - and either way, you don't have a "right to 3rd party app stores&quo

Isn't that pretty consistently what studies show - that right-leaning individuals are less likely to act/communicate with empathy and compassion?

You can already read Signal messages using the API directly, if you want to, so depending on how serious you take that issue, it has never been something you could be "sure" of.

Someone at work in a customer-facing role is less free to handle these things like they want to, potentially at the risk of very real consequences to their job. If you work at a bar, or a mechanic's shop, or in the grocery checkout, a

I'm not proposing anything, just noting that Youtube ads are not providing a relevant direct incentive to a lot of creators. Obviously "keeping Youtube running" also matters to anyone using the platform as a part of making a

The creators I watch aren't making their income from YouTube, even when that is their only main platform. Patreon and video sponsorships through direct deals/ad networks are the bulk of it, in a lot of cases.

Less truthful, really. There are good reasons we've moved on to "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide" by now.

That rule seems like it would lock you out of pretty much all modern technology pretty quickly, to be honest. What do you use for daily computer/mobile use? What white goods manufacturers do you go for? A company will make user-hostile

What you just wrote makes more sense applied to LLM output than podcasts! You'd just as easily argue that "radio" or "news" is all bad if you don't want to differentiate between different forms of expression an

Listen to better podcasts. :P

Every mistake you don't catch as being wrong in your inner thoughts simply become a part of your subjective experience/existence until challenged again later, if not forever.

Books and movies predate the internet and discussion forums, podcasts are generally discovered near platforms that they use for communities already. Also, books/movies usually being published more properly (ids, canonical credits, comp

As someone that worked in an EEA tech company when the GDPR was actually being implemented, it absolutely did a ton for improving how much focus there was on privacy and PII security. That has seemed to be true for the places I've work

I believe the SSB (Statistics Norway) numbers are more like ~10% for food and non-alcoholic drinks [1], it depends a lot on what you look at. Culturally the Mediterraneans have a very different relationship to food - but looking at Eurostat

Are subsidies not inherently valuing something highly? Except with some safeguards to prevent "Well you're poor so why are you worth keeping alive". Maybe it's better to shift ag subsidies to things like food stamps&#x

As a counterpoint, it takes a lot less effort to keep a file preserved. A fire-and-flood-proof document storage solution would certainly be a lot more work for me than setting my google/govt. data up so people in my life get access to

To be fair, just because we can generate text well doesn't mean we're any closer to actually knowing how to influence people subtly like that. Anything that makes content can be used for vague general propaganda/lobbying, but

If you think HN is less fake than Facebook as far as personas goes that is probably more about your Facebook feed - HN is more homogeneous, certainly, but you don't become cultured because you've build a country club and everyone

Seems like "a desire to be publicly accessible at all times" is the outlier as far as history goes, surely. Social media use isn't exactly a known positive indicator :b.

We're talking about the set of people that actually weight lifting exercises, though, not the population. Someone that goes for regular long walks is better off than a powerlifter, I doubt you would consider that a convincing argument
