I think there are valid concerns, generally speaking, but I for my own selfish reasons prefer to have the option of keeping my information private. I have no interest in being a public person, to any degree whatsoever. Not because I want t

This is a bit tangential, but now might be a good time to experiment with raising the price of your product. It might extend the time you have until you have to stop accepting new users entirely, in case your migration is taking longer than

Bitcoin sure does and I haven't used it in half a decade. It's not a great benchmark for crypto as a whole.

I have not visited the homepage other than by accident in many years, FYI. I am talking about results being omitted from the sub feed. This is related to the whole "notification bell" thing. Unless you turn on notifications - manu

This may depend on the amount of channels you're subscribed to. I've got a lot of subscriptions (423) , split mostly between music and educational channels. Some of the channels that post less frequently just don't show up in

Last time I checked the API was very restrictive towards building custom clients that are somewhat complete. There was no endpoint for getting the subscription feed and the discussion about it had been open for years already. So you have to

For an entity that keeps posturing how they want to organize the worlds data, Google is really falling apart at the seams when it comes to making all that information, knowledge and content that people entrusted them with available in a bas

The way I think of it is that if you are already concerned about the future due to climate change etc., then you are not the target audience for this sort of action. The whole point I take from it is that it is an attempt to raise awareness

This is pure conjecture of course. Maybe he is beginning to feel like he is overstaying his welcome in the US, and is beginning to hedge his bets.

I am assuming a large part of that influx was from people who made extensive use of it because of its limited nature. If a similar option was always available, there would be a lot less pressure to squeeze every opportunity into such a shor

I'm still at the beginning of figuring this out for myself, but I am currently having some success just using Obsidian and markdown checklists. I make the list, and as I check off tasks I move them below the unfinished tasks. I always

The problem is more nuanced than that and just throwing out "Population control." is completely meaningless. You could cull three billion people of the lowest emitters and it would have as much of an effect as halving the CO2 emis

Not a site, but it may be worth a mention anyway. Minecraft has done an incredible job getting the younger generation into coding. Creating your own server starts off fairly straightforward, but gets very technical very quickly if you allow

Yup, and as you automate some tasks, new ones keep popping up. I love Factorio and have had a similar thought, but no idea how it could be made to work. Definitely something I would be interested to see, though. At the same time, I enjoy th

No, I don't think that. I do think there is still a lot of room left to level the playing field between institutionalized financial schemes, and personal ones. Crypto is a small step in the direction to level the field.

The only thing crypto does is to make these things available to regular people who aren't rich already. They're happening either way.

The website linked in the description is down, and digging up the Twitter account, the last tweet is from Feb 7 saying the marbles are "nearly ready". Looks to me like that niche is not filled yet after all!

Exactly. The qanon conspiracy nuts have been pushing DDG as an alternative to Google for a while now, and they most definitely don't have that awareness. In fact, they tend to get ridiculously defensive when offering the thought that R
