As much as I don't like Google, I'm not sure if Google is the issue here. * Google's autocomplete not having the address is different from USPS not having the address. It depends on who the bank was using as address verificat

Hmm, isn't this just a co-opting of things smaller creators are doing? It's just done at a much larger scale, with the aim of making money instead of curiosity/funny memery

The mixture of the narrator + common elements between each one (galvanized square steel) + the weird corporatized animations and it all knowing it is satire is what makes it so funny. Other people have made their own versions [0], which sor

True, slap a price on it. I'm sure people here get enough utility out of VSCode to pay for it. The problem is when the free offering is actually designed to ensnare you in a tarpit of legal liability and uncapped financial liability. E

Never could I have imagined users wanting apps to have more control of them, but here we are with a pretty compelling use case for not letting them remove an app. Neat

So is down "deeper" into the rabbit hole? Or is down more specific and up is more general? Or is it just a related topic (meaning up and down aren't different in any way)?

What sort of relationships have you seen in the data you've worked with that you'd describe as remarkable? I've explained a similar thing to friends before, but I was always at a loss for relationships/insights that have

Hmm, I'm not sure in what capacity Chromium phones home. I definitely have no ability to setup Google account sync nor did it play nicely out of the box with the Chrome web store, so I assumed not? But I haven't done my own tests

Chromium is still a thing, I use it at work, considering all the corporate-ware that gets installed into Chrome by default now. Waterfox and Librewolf seem to exist, and I imagine there's more Firefox forks out there. No idea on the st

I hate to think of other agencies that act this negligently. Not enough funds/competence to do their task properly but a ton of power to destroy people's lives, the problems too complex to tease out without real focus.

SecretNYC (and all their secret sub brands, one per major city) always sussed me out a bit. They seem to just be blogs about events, but they also host their own, very templated events, like the Van Gogh immersive exhibits and the Candlelig

I mean, I wouldn't mind being taken out to Red Lobster. I've come to find too, partners who prefer whatever instead of having very specific expectations for time spent together are more comfortable to be around.

It might not be unusual, but it does feel wrong and worsening. Wrong because it feels like we should have security in what we consume/how we spend our attention. Worsening because more and more places commodify their private spaces, bo

If it's an ordinance and someone complains (or it's one of those narc-y townships using satellite imagery and drone enforcement) then you get an inspection. If you're found in violation you'll get an enforcement notice.
