I'm probably thinking about this backwards, but I'm embarrassingly well trained to search for anything I need on Amazon. if I want to support Shopify at Amazon's expense, is there a straightforward way of breaking out of this

I'm not a dad, so these are but grains of salt. What I meant was not that you have the power to force your children out of social media - they're gonna do what they want. More a lead-by-example life where you present an example to

Indeed, one generation breaking the loop can support the next. Perhaps the antidote to social media is regularly sharing with your children: it doesn't matter what Alice or Bob think of you, ignore them and do what you enjoy most with

While the risks you bring up are valid, many of them are not new but amplifications of preexisting ones. In the past, children have largely managed to navigate these on their journey to adulthood. An unsolved problem with social media: it&#

Twitter's gambit since its inception has been the ability to magnify your audience more than a blog. This is _despite_ its counterproductive format for actual discussion and debate. All the critiques for how broken Twitter is now bemus

It's compelling to me that the Earth and its moon are so tightly linked that their relationship is projected to outlast a life-providing sun. I believe this is moreso than any other moon-planet pairing in the solar system? Given what w

Whoops. I missed that you mentioned higher PPD is available. If your workflow was improved to accommodate it, I presume it would produce more, for lack of a better phrase, life-like terrain? Would a much higher PPD be required to reach a th

Fascinating. Are there upcoming plans from any space agency to improve that 64PPD with upcoming or existing satellites or Earth-based capture of moon topography?

I believe consensus is that the moon will eventually drift away from the Earth. Do such impacts, predominantly on the far side of the moon, apply enough force to change that prediction? Are such projections of whether the moon leaves Earth

Do we have an idea of what percentage of impacts were prevented this way? What likelihood is there that the moon saved humanity (more than once?) since the time that we descended from the trees?

Engineers, do yourself a favor and add to your CV/resume: I will not work for companies that use Atlassian software.

I'd agree this one takes too long to get to its thrust, but I'd argue the majority of articles I read gloss over nuance in an attempt to capture Twitter-soaked brains.

This is uncaring towards those working hardest on the challenges of education. Teachers more than those in most occupations are driven by care for their customers - their students. The low pay and hard work drives many of them away. Righteo

Ideally management is not dogmatic about 'take from the top' for several reasons, but I like your suggestion to account for mood as well. There are definitely tasks that are mood-swingers one way or the other. Choose work based on

Thanks. Love hearing stories like yours.

This is a minority situation but an important one for the exceptions. Under the shadow of the rise of Proton it's getting harder to surface that sometimes you want to force Steam to use the native version. Something something the turn

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll have a look.

Valve has recognized this is a threat to the success of the Steam Deck and helped Proton support at least two prominent anti-cheat tools (EAC and BattlEye). But it remains to be seen if we'll see widespread acceptance from developers.

Thank you! 2022 is looking really fascinating for Linux gaming. The two biggest factors: - For typical gamers, anti-cheat support will be a big factor. - Then there's the Steam Deck, which ships in February. I'll soon be building

YT is certainly levering up the ad annoyance lately. It drove me to look around and I discovered not only is it better without ads, it's better without any social component at all. CloudTube uses YouTube APIs for what you actually want
