The tech industry spent the last 15 years coming up with fancy new ways to make users part with their data. There has to be a way to fix the damage.

For Christ's sake, it's not like Microsoft-written code is just irreversibly cursed. It's corporations in a monopolistic position that let EEE happen - you know, like what Google is doing with Chrome right now. If Internet Ex

What??? What does this even mean?? We're meant to just sit and watch as more and more control of the internet is taken away from us, in hope that maybe something nice happens? All this "spam" is meant to raise that usage %! W

This is interesting, however I feel like it has the same problem as Jef Raskin's ideas, namely that it does not scale well for tasks that are not text-based or personal organization/communication based (like mail or calendar manag

This is the fifth or so site that Google has broken for Chromium Edge in the past month. It's clearly no coincidence - it's the same constant stream of "oops" that plagues Mozilla, never ending "teehee we don't

My problem is that simple phones suck. They're inconvenient to use. It is that much easier to use maps on an actual touch screen. I really think the problem is not smartphones themselves, but the applications we use.

The small screen is a barrier, but it does not make content creation impossible - but turning the users into passive content consumers sure does. Blame the software, not the hardware - the arbitrary limits on mobile platforms scare me so mu

The thing with Google is that things work well 99% of the time for 99% of the people, but if you hit that 1% of 1%, your life will become an absolute nightmare filled with support site loops, chatbots, automated email replies, and months of

Digital detox - just quitting tech - comes from good intentions, but is misguided. Don't cut out sites and devices entirely - that honestly makes life more painful than it needs to be, and plays right into the hands of platforms compet

The companies themselves created so many of the dangers that social media now poses. If we didn't have all-but-mandatory lack of anonymity, we wouldn't have issues with doxxing, addiction (to the degree that anonymity can break th

From a consumer perspective, definitely, the next billion and the billion after that are all getting online, and that is genuinely amazing. From a producer's perspective, though? It's a disaster! There's a huge pressure to sh

I miss the old internet. Discovery and interaction were the big thing - meeting strangers in strange places. Now, that's basically impossible because each site that you use is designed with the goal of boxing you, keeping you where you
