I dunno, with the constant firehose of debate and disdain for AI this is a joke I'm too burned out about to feel like laughing at.

This is the "video games cause violence" of the current era, except this time it actually did come to pass.

Thank you for the kind words. It's less blame/resentment (though I admit I'm still working on it) and more that pretending my childhood was just fine and my parents were absolved of everything just because they tried their ha

I will continue to judge my parents for abusing me throughout childhood until doing so no longer contributes to my own healing. There is no single right way to respond to a hyperactive child but there are plenty of permanently life-altering

Should 4chan or something similarly extreme be recommended reading for children/adolescents to understand the horrors of the world then? I would bet that some young people will be as reflective and independently minded as you were to

I strongly believe I was misdiagnosed with autism when in reality the traits were caused by traumatic backlash from those I was supposed to trust towards ADHD traits that would have calmed down after adolescence. The diagnosis was largely a

RYM genres would be extremely useful to have as a beets autotag plugin and I've been waiting for years for their API to be opened up specifically for them.

I like beets' functionality but don't as much like "babysitting" it for long sessions when I have a bunch of new music to import. Especially because crashes are frequent and sometimes make it lose all incremental progres

Why did it take this long? Why did so many prior solutions ultimately fall flat after years and years of attempts? Was Python package/environment management such a hard problem that only VC money could have fixed it?

Quetta is unusable for me from how much they redesign the UI for no real reason. What I wanted was just an up-to-date version of Kiwi Browser which this project seems to aim for.

I tried installing uBlock Origin but the web store says I have to sign in and enable sync to download it. I didn't want to do that so I tried unpacking the extension .zip from GitHub and loading unpacked, but then the app just crashed.

My understanding is that separating children from their biological parents has wide-reaching consequences, even if done in a non-traumatic way, and even if they are ultimately raised by a different set of parents. I would imagine the trauma

Touchscreens on older cars used to disable themselves if the car was in motion. I think how the safety of in-car controls is perceived has changed since then.

It's fascinating, since I don't get the impression that UI elements needing room to "breathe" was an ironclad rule during for example the era of Windows 95. It sounds like folk wisdom for everyone on the same bandwagon o

I don't think they'd be interested in fixing this. I suspect YouTube is trying to create a double bind for users of adblockers by pitting them against creators' incentives. People in the thread were discussing ways of disabli

My understanding is this is 100% true for dogs but not for cats, and the reason for the difference in level of obsession is unclear.

I can unfortunately think of some fairly recent counterexamples to "why not reach out." They didn't justify keeping imaginary fences up, rather they justified cutting those people out of my life entirely, because they just do

In my opinion "we need mandatory age verification" is an admission that we can't really address the overarching issue of parents that can't/won't parent at a good enough level. Narcissistic parenting without an

I'm wondering how these changes in behavior compare to the "video games don't cause actual violence" result, seeing as the output of games are far more lifelike than a mere chat log. Maybe it's because fictional med

And the causality is the opposite in my experience. I view my smartphone as a maladaptive way of self-soothing. Locking away my phone just means I'm left with unchecked anxiety I can't think myself out of, and I've only depri

I guess it matters what "shitty" parent means. You can give all the financial/material support in the world to a child and still cause irreversible lifelong damage with the wrong parenting style. You don't need to be a &

I owned one and the build quality was pretty bad. The plastic tab holding the door to the dust holder snapped off with barely any force. The exact same thing happened to someone else I knew.
