I agree with much of what was said. My point was that they didn’t stick the landing. They overshot the mark. They did specifically use the word “incidental” so I don’t see how I could be misrepresenting anything.

He’s not arguing for less tech, just that big tech shouldn’t monopolize AI. Are you saying they should?

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, hopefully if there are enough disincentives, that can protect you. This is all uncharted territory, though. Kudos for trying it out.

Thank you for making this a public benefit company. We need more companies to follow this route to protect against future enshittification. But with public benefit corporations, I’ve been wondering, is it possible at some point for the boar

Looks like the work of a product manager changing shit up in order to justify their salary.

Agreed. Everyone forgets how awful it was and even though USB wasn't perfect, it was a huge improvement over the status quo. For that, I can forgive the inventors for making a mistake. Nobody's perfect. The travesty is that it too

You make two statements that you seem to think that are at odds with each other, but I don’t think that’s the case. > The hypothesis is that the patient generates information as a compensatory mechanism to fill holes in one’s memories. I

Yet, on other topics, people have “trust science” drilled into them, and are made to feel like heretics when they’re skeptical. They can’t win.

Could this be said for just about _any_ intrusion? Once you’ve been compromised, is there any way to know that no back doors were installed? Is this situation different than others?

I’m always confused why conservatives tend to support the death penalty. The conservative ethos is to reduce the power of the state to prevent abuse, but giving the state the right to kill a citizen clearly goes against that. How can you m

People are living longer, but anecdotally it seems like almost everyone I know has at least one chronic health issue, and many have multiple. And medical science’s answer to most chronic issues is “We don’t know what causes it or how to hel

But the article says that they have no value now. Someone is still buying and selling some of these things, for some reason.

I read those two percentages as not being added to each other. In other words, the 26% is a shittier subset of the 44%. At least that's what I think they mean.

This looks much better than B612. B612 just looks... awkward. It has these weird little cut-out areas at the intersections of some of the lines. I don't get it. Makes it looks like it's awkwardly pasted together from disparate pie

It succeeded for a long time without becoming enshittified. It was the front page of the internet and it was great. Then they took VC funding. That changed everything. That was the driver for all the enshittification that followed. The VCs

There is a huge amount of empirical evidence that adverse childhood experiences disrupt the HPA-axis as well as other biological systems. It's also well-known that people with PTSD have low cortisol. These aren't controversial fin

VCs need their exit. That's why they buy in. That's how the system works.

Interesting that it’s backed by Sam “remote work ‘experiment’ was a mistake” Altman. As an HSP, I can say that remote work is essential for me. I think many other neurodivergent people would agree.

Like I said, it kind of builds on GTD, but it is not GTD. I would call GTD about 10% of it. And it is a completely different methodology than zettelkasten. He is very much about hierarchical organization — not the free-linking world of zett
