I think their point is that you see Twitter and Bluesky links shared to sites like hackernews or Reddit (ie the internet aggregators), but not anything from threads

Well, to be clear, WordPress.com didn’t exist 20 years ago, nor did Automattic. So this domain wasn’t given away to a billion dollar company, it was given to an open source developer to build a platform to bring more users and exposure to o

I ultimately stopped because the trade off is not being able to see web animations (or most any animations in the OS) most of the time, which isn’t ideal as a web developer.

There are loads of successful implementations! Just look outside of the US to Nordic countries or, say, Japan or Korea. The US does a lot of things pretty badly.

The whole thing is about trying to eliminate sources of bias that we can. For example, blind screening of resumes where names and similar personal info aren’t given is a way to avoid racial bias while focusing on what matters. People have p

This is why we need constitutional amendments to make the police better. I mean there’s shit like this, and then asset forfeiture (legalized theft). Shit like this should be non-partisan.

Consumer rights, labor rights, and protecting our shared environment should match conservative principles. I agree with improving these agencies and making them work better for people. But it’s absurd think that the representative governm

No, not kudos! Before destroying an entire organization, it’s important to know their true impact and how much it’ll hurt to have them gone. So far, I’ve seen zero evidence that deep thought or analysis went into these decisions. In other w

Eh. Zip code level location + timestamp is still pretty invasive, even if, pedantically, that’s not very precise. We should compare if there a differences in the data sent in countries with better data privacy laws.

It’s honestly crazy that we allow companies to sell our data — and even financially incentivize companies to share our data like this.

Sure, by 3M votes. Fact is that no, most of the country did not ask for this. In fact, Trump explicitly lied about project 2025 during the campaign. So many may have been swayed to vote Trump, with the understanding that project 2025 was

Plus, a lot of media is owned by the ultra wealthy. There’s a big incentive for them to please politicians to keep on their good side, and to lobby for their other business interests. There’s no incentive for them to be “brave.” Capitalism

I can understand it in general if you truly think that pick would be better for big tech antitrust (not convinced any party is going to do much about it), it seems said pick was the CEO of the lobbying group founded by big tech (the Interne

Part of the problem is that we just don’t have a std lib, or std UI framework for the web. In both Windows and Mac, the basic UI happy path involves using the pre-built libraries and UI components these companies created to make apps somewh

The current president already said he didn’t intend to enforce the ban anyways.

Presidents are allowed to offer legally binding political favors in private?

I think the bigger point is there are a lot of young people making really decent money on TikTok. (I know a few of them.) The result is a lot of push back from a lot of people who are effectively loosing their jobs. This is probably more cl

In what universe does this apply to the president? If the president promises a company to do X, it’s not a contract. I’m not even sure the president is allowed to make a contract with a private entity to give them a political favor.

It definitely had something like this at least in beta within the last couple years, or maybe just based on the title. But you’re completely right, GH search is truly bad

Sure, but this isn’t remotely about that. If it was, we’d get some privacy laws and bans on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Yeah, the ban is interesting because it’s happened before (company being forced to sell or leave), but never to a product used at this scale. There are allegedly 120M daily active users in the US alone. That’s more than a third of Americans

Yep. These make the air quality a lot better as well, since you have control over most incoming air.

You gotta auto hide dock no matter what side it goes or you’re giving up too much screen space. You know it’s there anyways, and it reappears immediately when you send your mouse to it. So the only thing it really tells you is what apps are

Phone remotes do indeed exist! Both Roku and Apple TV (and definitely others; that’s just my direct experience) have them. They’re ok, handy when you need it. So I gotta imagine Samsung/LG will eventually just make apps anyways. Why bo

The article is not optimistic on flying cars. The prediction is that an expensive flying car could be purchased no earlier than 2036, and notes a strong possibility that it won’t even happen by 2050. Plus states that minor success (aka 0.1%
