It only has to be something I need to be able to do but can't once a month to be a dealbreaker.

Anything movement that requires people to routinely acquire a second phone is doomed to failure (in the “this will never become a mass movement” sense)

It won't though, because there's a ecosystem of banking/insurance/whatever apps that have bought into the android/iphone lockdown mindsete that people will simply be locked out of. Open alternatives can grow when th

One is a lament that the industry average is so low, and the other is… a lament that the industry average is so low. What's the problem?

It's not.

An alternate intuition pump, at least if you're old enough to remember incandescent bulbs: consider how bright a 1000-watt bulb is, compared to how bright (in the visible spectrum) the 2-3000 watt oven element gets.

Look up the emission spectrum for a body at the temperature of a typical oven element: yes, it starts emitting some light that is visible, but the bulk of the energy is still in the IR band.

The feature size of the matte vs shiny sides are much smaller than the wavelength of the bulk of the radiated light in either a microwave or conventional oven.

I think this is entirely plausible lapse for someone with a bad fever, especially if they routinely work from home and are primarily communicating over text-based channels. Personally I'm much more inclined to blame the organization,

A fever can cause altered mental states, confusion, etc. It's not surprising that someone suffering from one would act out of character.

Stop pinning things to the edges of the screen and window. Some sites have literally over 50% of the viewable area taken up by irrelevant static elements. Let the content scroll, like god intended.

@PlatoIsADisease (because dead comments can't be replied): the term WalledGarden has been a term for this and related concepts since long before marketing-speak had completed the takeover of the internet.

Exactly. I like to say that learning feels like frustration. If I'm right, then LLM's eliminate precisely the thing that is learning.

It's the same in tiktok: there's literally a button that says “I'm not interested in any live videos”, but it keeps inserting livestreams into the feed anyway.

And current through a wire stays the same on every point of the wire, more or less regardless of the length, as long as the supply can provide enough voltage to maintain it. This in turn dramatically simplifies the electronics needed to in

“Irrelevant” feels a bit reductive while the practical question of what actually causes qualia remains unresolved.

Nothing is happening “suddenly”, and it remains true that “people who want to work purely on the C side can very much continue to do so”.

Dear god do I not want to be trying to deal with an interactive user manual when pulled over on the side of the road trying to look up the lift point to jack the car up.

I can't speak to usable because the group doesn't use it, but chat is persistent now, at least.

Yeah, that's not a thing here in saskatchewan either.

I'm comparing someone getting off on reporting people to the authorities to people who got off on reporting people to the authorities. It's the same self-righteous attitude either way.

I can stay parked at a green light the entire cycle, and it still will be 100% the fault of the person who rear ends me. As for what I'm doing, it's probably something like scrolling the map to see what road I'll be turning o

You made two claims, and provided no evidence that one is related to the other.
