Any speech could be attributed to the N-number of suicides we unfortunately see happening. This is not a good argument for censorship or punitive actions against individuals or entities whose speech was followed by a suicide with dubious &#

I think in order for Threads to be successful and compete with Twitter, they will need to stop policing information so heavily as they do on Facebook. Most of my immediate circles left Facebook because of all the tyrannical fact checking no

Well a lot of times, they do, but it's often insufficient or falsely veiled in corporate speak that doesn't represent the situation, and indicates a misunderstanding or outright bias against the account holder. I'd like to se

DoorDash shows popular items purchased from restaurants along with ratings for each item, plus some form of recency for purchases like "Ordered recently by 20+ others", even down to the options / toppings selected for an item

But sir, that oil change shop offers cheap-ass coffee to its loyal customers and someone told Google Maps to tag that location with "Coffee".

Or they outright silence smaller news organizations that broadcast popular, although controversial, figures who fall under a certain political affiliation. I'm grateful for places like Rumble and Twitter, where real news can be found.

Same with the various web development subreddits as well. Copious amounts of content from "My First Website", to "am I doing intro-level CSS thing right?", and "can I still get a React job?" There's certai

Why is the US government peddling conspiracy theories after condemning true ones for the past 3 years?

Especially with as much emphasis they put on SharePlay in the iPhone presentation. Quite a neat feature. For the few households that will splurge $14,000 for a family of 4 to watch movies together once a month, I'd hope it would have t

Yea, they also added a 20fps limiter in certain cases when the hardware is pushed to its limits. Super unfortunate, and honestly, I'd be hard pressed to believe that it helps. Nonetheless, the game performs loads better than BotW ever

I 100% agree. This is what I was hoping they would maybe surprise-announce just before TotK's release, but my hopes were too high. I'm excited to play it, but $70 for a game with PS3-era visuals at 30fps while everything else has

Thanks for saying this. I suspect I've long dealt with ADHD or some similar neurodivergence as well which, more prominently in my 20's caused me to bounce between so many things that I started to feel overwhelmed with excitement,

I wonder how much imposter syndrome one would have to go through to finally feel comfortable after releasing so many videos, with the potential scrutiny of more academic/formal Linux communities.

While this feels significant, I don't think humanity is doing itself any favors by guilting itself over problems it didn't (or couldn't) anticipate. Hindsight is always 20/20. This is especially true when "don'

It does all add up quickly indeed. Not to mention, things that fall outside of capital / income taxes which increase the overall percentage in sneaky ways in the US: car registration fees, the death tax, property taxes, student loan re

Maybe with this knowledge, we can teach and encourage people to think more critically as they choose to adopt more of these tools? I know more academic/intellectual types who are less willing to, than I do the average joe who seeks ans

When I learned the uses of the three dashes back in design school, I felt like I had learned some new English superpowers -- and the rules are easy to remember, too. It's silly to me that some folks find it cumbersome, rather than an o

I never thought of this as being a deliberate process, once identified. I think subconsciously I do this all the time, but most of the time I feel pressured to have a good answer in any given moment. I'm a strong Extroverted Intuitor (

Not every online discussion has to be a formal debate with months of preparation. Sorry I didn't "have my papers" handy. If you're interested, you'll go looking on Twitter, Telegram, etc. on your own accord. If you&

I'm not sure if Cookie AutoDelete hides or auto-accepts cookie popups, but that was the main motivation for using "I don't care about cookies" -- I don't want to see all these ridiculous cookie notices on every site

Try using the extension "I don't care about cookies" It's excellent. I have needed to disable it occasionally to make basic site functionality work on some sites that I absolutely need to use, though I'm forgetting

Don't forget the power of `as const` and type guards for tricky dynamic types! Especially for function params that accept multiple complex object types.
