I've regularly thought "what's the point of creating, taking photographs or putting effort into [artistic endeavour] if it means that it's just going to be stolen and reposted on Instagram, Reddit, TikTok ad nauseum?&quo

This was kind of the theory of using Brave Browser to earn BAT through ads, and then set up an "auto-contribute" list that took your earned BAT and distributed a % that you set to each person. The adoption didn't exactly happ

I feel like these conversations condense down to "the death of authenticity... if you want to make money/get mainstream." There's plenty of people doing it for free, but there's a melancholy from people who saw the

I think this gets exacerbated with the "we're a family!" culture of employee in-groups. Feeling like a company is your home amplifies the disappointment and feeling of betrayal when the CEO decides to sell.

I think that journalists (or well, "company-owned content teams") are very quick to overestimate the spirituality and necessity of their work. They might think that their work is necessary and invaluable, but it doesn't mean

I don't have a family, but self-hosting Actual Budget via Docker helped me provide a budget app for my friends who I converted to YNAB4, and who I didn't want to point to subscribing to "New YNAB" which is less useful. I

As much as I am thankful for the site for a lot of things, it fostered my "there will always be new content on every refresh" problem, which has stolen so much productivity from me. I don't mean this in the "haha isn&#x2

Big fan of scrcpy from a consumer usage perspective because I can access mobile-first apps (like Hinge, which doesn't have webchat) while still being able to use my keyboard and mouse to input.

If the definition constantly changes, no one gains the confidence to challenge the people enforcing the definition; they can change it at will to suit their needs, and revel in being hypocritical because they know there's no consequenc

I hate posts like this. "You can be a successful professional without spending time on social media. See, look at [those people who've already made their audiences and can self-sustain, and then can afford to longer use social med

I love how this one comment thread and its replies highlights the importance of being a good visual communicator. One bad image, one bunch of confusion.

I think they might be arguing for like, the death of a blog as a personal branding center. Site generators (or even like, better-formatted Pastebin alternatives like Rentry) emphasize "publishing for the utility" instead of it hav

I enjoy that there's just this demoralization of "yeah, I'm not surprised, and it's going to make me sadder to think about how little consequences are going to come of it."

Brave Browser's BAT infrastructure is good for this; even if you don't want to manually tip people, you can set up auto-contribute amounts that deduct from the amount of BAT you earn from seeing ads monthly. I think the habit of d

Trying to search Discord for anything is so bad , and it's hurting communities because they're centralizing their knowledge there. Things that used to be on forums for things like fighting games are now buried on Discord, indexed

No one wants to self-host, and normies especially don't want to learn or care about self-hosting. Discord does what it does, normies like it, and people make bots and utilities for Discord because people use it. It's a network eff

It depends; the gatekeepers aren't just cultural. If someone gets you thrown off platforms and payment processors that you need in order to establish your independence and run a business, you get cancelled that way. Only the already-bi
