The common explanation I've heard is that on the east coast the poverty and violence is more condensed into ghetto areas whereas on the west coast the misery is spread around by having poor areas interleaved with rich ones. You might c

There is certainly a difference in either technology or implementation. I've seen LG OLED TVs get noticeable lettering burn-in after a couple hundred hours and on the other end of the spectrum that guy left an unmoving bright-dark patt

Yes, I've seen more than one subreddit who barely had enough users to keep going do the indefinite shutdown thing and it's just going to kill the community.

Indeed. That's one reason the whole "emergency library" thing made me so angry. It's always one stupid decision that ruins it for everybody else.

No, just that there a lot of searchable index sites that maintained huge lists of URLs for material on Megaupload.

Megaupload was much easier to search than Mega. Its loss is a terrible shame; it served as an archive site for loads of material that existed nowhere else. Webcomics, music, videos from dead sites. Putting copyrighted stuff on the IA wasn

I have been already working nearly at a burn-out level for many years to reach this comp. If you have the willpower to do that I wouldn't worry that much. Maybe use the extra productivity ChatGPT gives you to learn some skills that L

A childhood fear of mine was that every time I lost consciousness my mind could be going through the worst torture imaginable and I just don't remember it. I still wonder if I'm having horrific nightmares every time I wake up swea

I don't even fast forward through ads that aren't obnoxious. When it starts with three solid minutes of ads, then has a block of ads in the middle, then more at the end for a half-hour show, I'm either skipping or not listeni

Because it's not bad enough to be a red flag but it does make me wary of the company's priorities. You used a complicated shader to make a scroll bar that doesn't scroll, which may as well have been a static background image,

Your homepage needing a shader is at least a hot-pink flag for the whole company. Pretty janky here on Vivaldi as well unless I scroll really slowly.

I would like a breakdown of Reddit's actual costs vs their proposed fees. Why isn't Reddit profitable? Is there a way to make Reddit profitable without charging for API access?

I'd argue that any alteration to the prose is counter to authorial intent. I agree fully, but for me the difference is between something being groan-worthy and something being sacrilege. I don't object when someone translates a

After seeing what a nightmare it was moving my copy of Mario Kart 8 to my wife's Switch, I don't buy digital console games anymore. There's still a delay every time the title is launched as Nintendo "checks to see if thi

I find it kind of fascinating that this article is fine with the changes made to Ursula K. LeGuin's work, but is up in arms over Dahl and Fleming and Christie It's a case of changing the meaning of the statement vs translating t

It's important to judge people in context. Just as you wouldn't think as harshly of a thief who grew up in a poor, violent household, you shouldn't think as harshly of the ignorance of a historical figure as you would of a pe

Is the Brave shitcoin really worse than all the stupid-ass stunts and services Mozilla has pulled over the years?

Which I appreciate. My biggest worry about the doom of Reddit is that Reddit has replaced forums for compendiums of knowledge and solutions to problems and that will all go away.

Worse than guilty until proven innocent, since "guilt" in this instance is saying something naughty over the speaker system you paid for.

Louis Rossman is not a podcaster. He's the face of the entire right-to-repair movement and one of the most respected people in tech. Also, having another person review the footage is a meaningful contribution over just linking to the M

I don't claim any countries are better. I'm saying an addiction to spending all your time following current events is unhealthy.

I just don't think soaking in the latest US drama is great for your mental health or a good use of your time, unless you actually live there. It's not good if you live here either.

Blaming ChatGPT for making stuff up is like blaming sex dice after you followed their instructions to "spank" + "hair".
