   It might just be nostalgia, but Windows 7 did look good. Be it 7, XP, 2000, etc. I get the feeling the main advantage is a consistent UI. So many apps try to mix both desktop and touch oriented interfaces, or create their own "style&qu

   The point isn't to say VCS is pointless, just that some use-cases (in this case a website) doesn't always fit well into a commit-oriented workflow, where I prepare a changeset, create a commit then push it.

   I have tried maintaining a todo list in Emacs, but I just never got used to it, even though I "live" in Emacs. Instead I hung a whiteboard next to my desk and just write down everything I have to do here, and it seems to have been

   Yes, but newspapers are not in a position to generate an image of your psychology, that could be used to manipulate you. Imagine any belief you currently hold dearly, be it social, personal or political, that you could be manipulated into b

   My feeling is that (public) social media doesn't work in general. This is not a technological problem, it is just accelerated by technology.

    Correct me if I am mistaken, but I heard that he used to call himself some sort of an Anarchist up until his debate with Foucault.

    One should also note that he is usually better known for being a Linguist than a "Leftist" (also AFAIK he abandoned the Anarchist label a while ago). Any computer scientist has encountered his work if he has ever engaged with the

    One aspect I find frightening about interpreting prositution as a "real job" is that women could be denied unemployment benifits if they reject a job that would involve them selling their body and their consent. > The same argu

    Exploitation is not an ethical question, it is necessary for societies that a discrepancy exists between the value of labour invested and the value of the return. Otherwise you'd have a society where only those who work would be reward

    I am not interested in descending into an idealogical argument here, but most (serious) anti-capitalist criticisms will acknowledge that capitalism has brought the hitherto highest quality of life, just that it is self-constrained by the ne

    Unless your opposition to capitalism is based on idealistic notions of morality, you have to accept that it is the predominant mode of production that society involuntarily finds itself in. Marx was financed by Engels, a factory owner and c

    This reminds me of the saying "the best design in the design you don't notice" (or something like that). Just because it seems authentic, doesn't mean it is not curated. That is not to say that curation is an issue in it

    My impression is that TikTok is the most shameless exploiter of curating content to maximize attention. You resign all the control and hope to petition "the algorithm" to change what you get to see -- like some kind of a god that

    How do people react to information like this? Personally, it just makes me feel bad for myself, especially when I don't know the person in question. Most people usually react positively, but I am not sure if this is some kind of a &quo
