A question I've had about OpenCollective: Do they have any relation to the commons project? Their logos are virtually identical, and the OpenCollective logo has a similar colorway to that of their CommonPass project ( https:/&#x2F

You've succinctly listed many of my complaints. You're head of the NHTSA if I ever become president

I love commuting in my car. It's one of the only times I'm guaranteed solitude, and an opportunity to listen to or think about whatever I want in an enclosed space without interruption or surveillance (older car).

You can't convince people anymore. All that's left is resignation, anger, and used screens from the oughts.

The framing of people as prospectors looking to stake out their plot of a mine. I'd have framed the analogy in the terms of a tick climbing a tree for the opportunity to latch onto a large, diseased animal. A prospector might go on to

Oddly enough, this is the most optimistic way I've seen the state of our institutions described without agressively veering into the realm of fiction

The comments are already pretty low quality, and can be aggressively moderated by the company's algorithms. I doubt it'll be an issue.

Decades of research have illustrated the consequences of tobacco consumption. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive. The actions individuals and societies take based on that information are based on their own subjective values.

This sounds interesting, do you have the title?

I wish we had a tiered set of safety requirements for vehicles. In my opinion, occupant safety should be much more negotiable than it is. A good example is the column thickness on modern vehicles. I'd gladly trade some roll-over protec

We're moving towards a state where simplicity and privacy is the province of the affluent. A simple, reliable product doesn't make for a repeat customer. If you buy what the Bollinger claims to be, you'll probably take care o

All these awful people sound dangerous What do we do with them once we've successfully identified and separated ourselves from them?

Yeah, I liked that one.

I'll preface that I really did enjoy Dune, because what I'm going to say about the book will come off as negative. The first third of the book reads like an encyclopedia article with a slow moving plot tacked onto the side, and si

There was a brief period where a police officer was reported as having been murdered by rioters at the Capitol [0], and iirc many people on social media conflated his death with footage of a riot officer being struck on the head by a fire h

I hadn't realized that this was the case, but if so it would absolutely track.

Fastmail's been great for me, I love it. Unless I can find a similar premium domestic (US) offering that's near feature parity, and not a trillion dollar megacorp, I couldn't imagine leaving them.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I posted this yesterday in the Mastodon discussion, but the thread had long since lost its steam, so I'll put it here in hopes of an answer: Are there any actively maintained Activitypub/Mastodon clients that don't integrate

The Discord itself has no explicit purpose, but it was a companion to a now defunct constellation of facebook pages that were designed to give leftists and rightists neutral ground to discuss their criticisms of society and the media landsc

A solution to slow this that doesn't involve chat splitting is introducing friction to onboarding in an otherwise open community. A Discord server in-which I'm active routinely executes arbitrary kicks on new members (not bans) as

Similar experience. Amazon warehouse guys I know shrug it off as 'just another warehouse job'. That doesn't mean warehouses are pleasant to work in, even in comparison to similarly paying positions. But Amazon isn't quit

Are there any actively maintained Activitypub/Mastodon clients that don't integrate their own blacklists? Someone recommended Husky to me, but it's been dead for a minute.

This is what drove me off the platform. Searching Bing (primary), Yandex (rarely turns up gold), and DDG (generally useless for the news) each seems to mitigate these issues. But you really shouldn't have to check three different searc

Do you have any links to presentations or documents about Huawei's management and development methodologies? It sounds like a different kind of beast, and I'd very much like to learn more.
