Devils advocate - there is no evidence that it isn’t already occurring in subtle ways. This isn’t playing the “devil’s advocate” (which-the devil here does not need any advocacy) this is a request to prove a potential negative. Can we p

Yup, "different strokes for different folks" is very much a thing here, and I can't help wondering if we're going to see the wild and varying elements of the individualized-cyberfuture made popular in comics and video ga

I know of exactly two coworkers who have made recordings of themselves in different clothing that they set as their zoom "background" and then join the call from another device while they continue working.

All I want is to have a set of icons in my computer's tray that change color when a given device is done. I used to be here, had goals of "Tony Stark-ing" as much of my home automation as Ic could and managed to succeed in

Haven't read it, actually. Just nabbed the Kindle version to give it a read this weekend-JPod was given to me as a secret santa exchange and like you I've been meaning to read more of his work. Cheers for the suggestion!

Ha! If 1984 were instead of a book about government surveillance, a story about the malaise of working remotely for a nebulous and shadowy but well-paying "platform company" and was instead written in the year 2020, I feel like yo

Politics is how we solve all problems between competing interests as a society. I've been trying to find ways of asking the question of "what do you mean 'political'" and if someone were to ask for my 'elevat

What does "overthrow the king" look like I often hear the “host your own content” but I don’t feel like there is an equally vocal “make it discoverable, too” crowd. That is until I discovered the indieweb. The indieweb’s usage o

can probably get some form of local version control from IT and have access to VS Code. I was trying to plan out how to best do it. You mentioned not coming from a CS background, but a Git provider may be able to help you with this. Githu
