I think you might in fact be a fanboy. Which is fine, fanboy all you like if it makes you happy! Maybe he does have people lined up to replace all the people he just fired. Maybe he really was able to ascertain who was essential and who w

Playing Ultimate Online for the first time was incredible. A MUD with full graphics! thousands of people online at once! But mostly just the mystery of that unknown world. Using just the printed map that came in the box I decided to walk

I'm just in the process of moving to Northflank from Heroku for my Django app after trying SO MANY other PaaS services. I really like how they organise things (apps have multiple services, the build stuff makes sense) and their support

That's one freedom I'm happy to see restricted. Let the lame NFT people find some other gimmick for their 1 millionth monkey-based ugly JPEG project.

Reading the introduction section should be enough. It’s pretty clear that they’re talking about Amazon targeting ads based on your interactions with the Alexa and not, as the title here implies, based on just listening in to other things yo

I just can't think why you might have trouble convincing people to try it :p But you yourself bought up convenience in your original comment. If your argument is a purely moral one then no need to specify how little fiddling is require

As someone who uses Emacs for (almost) all my editing needs and has done for about 17 years I just don’t understand how you can have these beliefs. LSP-mode is great and now with things like Spacemacs and Doom Emacs getting setup and gettin

I would love this as well. Finding it really hard to read with everything so wide. But the book does look good!

Boy are we going to look stupid when a non-scam crypto use comes out! Total egg on our collective faces! One of these days! I mean obviously not today, but soon, right?

Good! Nice to see they’ve done the right thing even if it was a little late. I’m sure they got a lot of pressure both from users and from their own employees.

Please do write up and/or share more sensible articles of what “web3” is and what it does. I’ve read a few and they’re always the best arguments against it. Sure it might all sound good when all you have to say is vague things about it

Credential stuffing is a thing. So it’s pretty good if a compromised website just cannot leak your password. But as the other comment pointed out the current situation with web form login is that password is sent to server so it wouldn’t be

It’s funny you should bring up other situations in which people in the know manipulate “less sophisticated” actors for their own benefit. And that you think the alternative you’re arguing away from is investing in gold and silver is kind of

Freenet and Tor have existed for a while and are solutions to these problems for those that need them. You’re not interested in that though are you? No coins so no option for speculation. Web3 as it currently stands (as I said before it’s a

People choose to do that because it’s convenient. There’s nothing in any of the nebulous ideas around “web3” that would change that. You can use a federated social network RIGHT NOW. Or you can just make your own website TODAY. No permissio

Web 2.0 was never a thing. It was just a vague term some people came up with so they’d have something to say in their magazine articles/blog posts. There is no Web 2.0 or in fact web2. Web 3.0 I have a soft spot for. It was a stupid na

Before we mostly had to deal with people emotionally invested in a new thing, now they’re all financially invested as well. It makes for a different conversation.

It’s called survivorship bias. Most things that people called bullshit we don’t remember because they were bullshit so why would we remember. Now “crypto” is a little different because the the promise (not always followed though on, it’s st

Yes it’s totally normal to take a word with no real definition (or at best a definition that shifts depending on what’s needed) and have to “prove” it’s BS. If I tell you that web4 is all about complete freedom and an end to world hunger an

I’m absolutely sure that Putin and his cronies will find enough use for crypto (avoiding sanctions, carrying out criminal enterprise) that they’ll be more than happy about this minor inconvenience.

Of those three things “crypto” is ok for trading drugs, not very good for murdering people (not for lack of people trying but luckily it seems like death prediction markets and dark web assassins aren’t really a thing), and not at all usefu

It’s weird that this article waffles on about PCs and how the author thinks that’s a good analogy. It’s not very convincing because you could easily pick another technology pair and show it the other way (often worse is just worse). But the
