Good. I always enjoy seeing exploitative employers get what they deserve.

So he’s either paying for a $43 billion distraction or a $1 billion distraction, depending on whether or not he actually wants to own Twitter…? If the idea was to throw money at these allegations until they go away, Musk could have just pai

I think the quote on the app page says it all: bikes, not aircraft carriers. I use Obsidian, and really like it, but it’s an aircraft carrier. Bike is, well, a bike. I might, after using it, find that it’s just too simple and I need an airc

Yeah, I wouldn’t have considered this for a second if it was subscription-only. The pay-once-and-pay-for-upgrades model is very fair; I’d impulse-buy something for $30 once, but I don’t impulse-buy recurring payments. This is a very cool id

That would require involving themselves in the less fun aspects of raising a child, and people exhibiting this degree of self-centered entitlement—which, and I’m using the term clinically, sounds downright sociopathic to me—have no interest

“Lower-priced”? Haha, nope. Anything with ads should be free. The idea of paying—and still being harassed with garbage—is so sociopathically stupid that only a marketer would imagine anyone falling for it. I hope they fail. And it goes with

I’m very curious to hear more about this. Do you own undeveloped property that you live on, or are you mostly nomadic? And also, what renovations did you make and how long did it take to do this?

I think the circumstances here were so blatantly, unignorably stupid that even the union realized they couldn’t credibly fight for these guys.

Just so I understand—because this is pretty incredible if I’m reading it properly—you are saying you are currently employed full-time (or part-time) at fifty different companies, and you’re able to get the work done by outsourcing it and ha

Thank you, cormacrelf. Your gratuitous, utterly unwarranted nastiness here is an excellent example of why communities like Radiopaper sound particularly appealing right now. That kind of overtly obnoxious response is generally discouraged o

Thank you! This is happening on iOS 14.5.1, in Safari. I’m on an iPhone XS.

Looks like a cool idea, but I'm having trouble signing in. Clicking the link in the email just bounces me back to the website, where I'm still logged out. I like the idea that messages only appear after they've been approved

No, I think you were mostly correct. Submitting a form on a Web 1.0 site—typically search or guest books—was hardly an experience you’d call “interactive”, especially today. Every form submission required a refresh, and sites were usually v

Um—“Netflix is unwatchable because of woke mind viruses” sounds more like a meltdown than anything remotely resembling the truth. There are millions of people who think Netflix is very watchable, and strongly support shows that acknowledge

This kind of lapse in composure is why people think he’s unhinged. Netflix’s problem isn’t that they’re unwatchably woke, it’s that their competitors are getting better and their streaming offerings—which, beyond the originals, have always

Good. Like I always say: if people request you to stop something as soon as they find out you’re doing it, it’s very likely you shouldn’t have been doing it in the first place. Facebook—and everyone who relied on their shameful, creepy busi

First thing that comes to my mind is a site like https://thegreatdiscontent.com/ . It’s fascinating, and honestly pretty simple in concept: they find interesting people—typically artists—and talk to them. Given some of your

Just tested it with an address generated by my go-to disposable email service, and that address got a 10/10. I’m not particularly sympathetic to marketers so I’m not going to reveal the service, but where there’s a will, there’s a way.

I think this would be the absolute perfect time for Netflix to start being assholes about people sharing passwords with their parents

I don’t think that’s what he’s talking about. You’re describing industrial-strength professional therapy; sounded to me like he had more informal counseling/advice/community in mind.

by _zzaw 4y ago
That’s definitely a place I would visit, although I’d probably be more lurking than talking, at least at first. It might sound simplistic, but if I were starting a community like that, I’d start with a WordPress blog or forum; maybe BBpress

I wouldn’t pay that much for what this is. I’m sure most of my friends wouldn’t. It’s a neat enough idea that I’d try the free tier, but it doesn’t offer anything compelling enough to make me want to pay for it. I’m not trying to be mean or

There is nothing remotely interesting or thought-provoking about this article. The writer is just as shrill, self-righteous, and whiny as the people he’s railing about. Nobody who sounds or thinks like this has ever changed any minds, anywh

This looks really good. I was a major fan of Coda, but I’ve been disappointed with Nova, so I’m looking for something else. The fact that this isn’t saddled with subscription pricing is a huge plus. I don’t even consider software I can’t ow
