I know a few sites, one of them being Spotify, that will lock your account based on "suspicious activity", lie that your password is invalid, and force you to reset your password.

Yubikeys are useless when someone can reset your password or 2FA using personally identifiable information that was just leaked. A lot of us who practice good security will be PWNED through large scale data leaks. Whenever I sign up, I sign

I would recommend https://logseq.com/ As an outliner, and being block-based, I think it's more suitable for Zettelkasten and generally atomic notes. Progress on the `master` branch is a bit slow because there's a

Proton does not care anymore. Maybe they never did? Their new wallet wholeheartedly cements any skepticism I've had previously about them.

Reminder to everyone that Roam Research is still in business, still great, getting updates, and most importantly worth the subscription cost. While I don't use it anymore, it has served me extremely well.

It's frightening how many HN users will trade their freedom for just a bit of convenience. The dystopia is closer than you think. At the very least I hope the lurkers reading these comments are just shaking their heads in frustration a

It is such an essential part of my life that suddenly losing these abilities would be devastating. Aphantasia should be considered a disability. I feel as if you're losing an essential part of human experience.

"Drawing from imagination" should not be taken literally. It's a blueprint, a thumbnail. By the time you're done, what you have on paper is significantly different, if not totally different from what you were imagining.

Reasonable individuals would think of the food I've described as pig feed, if not worse, of course with some hyperbole added. The reality is that most people are not knowledgeable enough to even tell "AI slop" apart from regu

The regular person will never get these terms right. Most people are not aware of this game of telephone they're unwillingly being part of. It will never ceases to annoy me. I still shudder at seeing "Troll" being misused.

I think it's pretty obvious that the term "slop" has food origins. When you think of "slop", you think of oily, greasy fast food, or disgusting amounts of sugar, syrup, icing, etc. The food allegory strikes again. W

For fast writing, I'd say shorthand is probably much better. Gregg and Teeline are the more popular variants, with a more simplified version of Gregg called Gregg Notehand.

I think it's possible that machines could become conscious in the future. Do I think it matters? No. A lot of people mistakenly try to empathize and think ethically. I think it's the Effective Altruism brainrot. If you are a physi

Interesting take, but I have a purely physicalist viewpoint. I don't think the religious aspect has anything to do with it, and can be simply explained by them literally believing things have souls and are conscious. I believe there is

I believe consciousness is on a spectrum of self-awareness. It just exists, perhaps even without evolutionary need. Even if you act mainly on instinct or even purely you could still very well be conscious. You will continue to exist as long
