Attractive and somewhat lazy ideological opinion. The world is so complicated and the group most susceptible to conspiracy theories in most cases also happens to have the least access to the type of education that prioritizes critical think

It has been an especially tough time for DJs who as you can imagine are severely affected by Covid19. A game of copyright whack-a-mole has been going on across other platforms for a few years now (SoundCloud, MixCloud, etc.), exacerbated no

The irony that maybe our ancestors escaped Mars eons ago after similarly destroying the planet to seed earth and start afresh. Untrue but plausible based on how we've handled things this far. Self-interest and the tragedy of the common

Personally I created 256 bit encrypted disk images for sensitive stuff and put them on Dropbox. this has worked for quite a few years.

I am quite happy to pay 1Password for the same. The benefits of biometric access on my phone and auto filling forms is too hard to pass up.

The United States loses the moral high ground moving forward and Microsoft gets a blemished gem. The machinations of this deal are unsightly. Just because this is how the game is played in China doesn't mean we have to do it too.

As much as I agree and being from a "third world" country myself, I can still remember China banning Facebook and Google in 2009/2010. Everyone has had to bend over backwards to gain access to the Chinese market while giving

As a consumer I love Apple's commitment to high quality apps - a side effect of their review process. As a seller on their marketplace 30% is extremely high. 30% of every sale! For context Amazons referral fee averages about 15%.

This. There are some features I decided to turn off in my car or the battery would just die every time. 70 amp hour batteries used to be way more than enough, but cars today have unbelievable battery draw that manufacturers have not taken i

I absolutely love Spotify, but for some reason I just can't get with it on podcasts. I'm not sure if it's the interface or maybe I just like to keep my music and podcasting separate? They're both audio yes -- but complet

FYI I tried this feature out a few months ago and found it to be useless for build folders. Extended attributes (xattr) get lost everytime you recreate a file/folder - think 'build', 'node_modules' etc. Additionally

@tobiaswk - good job with your apps! I completely agree with Android and UI design which is painful. Flutter is far from perfect but a non designer can create something pretty decent. Users appreciate the experience.

I've been on the fence about iCloud for sometime. Dropbox made the choice easy for me.

Politics aside, I have Huawei phones and tablets and they're probably the best bang for your buck you'll get.

I work on both a MacBook pro 15 with 32 gb and a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 32gb everyday. Apple is still light years ahead. The inconsistent UI on a Windows machine is infuriating, but Office is unsurprisingly powerful for teams. 8-core? I'll

Impossible burgers are awesome and I've had quite a few. It also really depends on how it's made and how it's dressed up - as with any burger. My only lingering issue is that it is a highly processed food, and psychologically

You can't have it both ways. End to end encryption or open groups with censorship by moderation, pick one. This is a side effect of private clubs and private online communities. While I don't condone the behavior, we need to get m

As a remote worker of over 12 years I'm definitely enjoying getting back to in person interaction, especially during the colder months when people socialize a lot less. A mix of going to an office and working at home is hard to beat.

I've been using Flutter for a little over a year and I absolutely love it. Hot reloading, Dart tree shaking, Static type checking, etc. What's not to love? Dart widgets are consistent, making UI design easy peasy. UI widgets are d

The GitHub acquisition feels like losing a piece of ones "coding" childhood if there's such a thing. When we grow up, find out how things work and the innocence is lost because it feels like there is a malevolent undercurrent

I have a Huawei Mediapad M3. Lovely tablet that I use more than my iPad. Huawei is on a roll with hardware.

Unfortunately this is one of those American traditions we love to hate but are for the moment powerless to change. Your significant other may not care but societal pressure and expectation is hard to get around. She has a mother, sisters, f
