I wasn't familiar with either Oink or What.CD - fascinating to read about them. I spent tons of time on Napster and LimeWire roughly between late 1990s and 2005 when I graduated from college. A few things stood out as related topics: 1

Thank you for this reply. I thought the parent comment was blunt, and perhaps honest. But perhaps it could have added some positive and constructive commentary rather than saying what not to do. I hardly think these things are so binary any

Is help narrowly chemical here or is help in general? Someone else replied suggesting psychiatry - curious if that is what you meant.

You are spot on. I see all this in me, too. Very interesting to encounter your take. I try to turn what-ifs into actions. Instead of a what if rumination it is a small task, or a small trial of something, or a move in general forward rather

And Substack to that list too.

>This is how you behave when you think you're so much smarter than everyone around you that consequences don't apply you. Spot on perfect. I see this too often and not just in tech.

Few things annoy me more than the 5 minute convo followed by “let’s connect on LinkedIn” I grew even more skeptical over the past year when a VC dude connected to me (during a conversation) and then later removed me. No harm done as we bare

Is Kepler what you're looking for? Not sure if I am pointing in the right direction but curious. https://kepler.gl

What an outrageously cool and informative website. Love it. I'm back to mostly wearing analog watches. Had an Apple Watch on my wrist for quite a long time, but something about analog appeals once more. No smartwatch beats an analog in

Right there with you on unexpected tear-stream moments, fears, but also all those happy moments you can't anticipate. In past year I've watched my older (8) start competing on a cheerleading team. Immense tear-streaming joy watchi

Dad of 2 girls. 8 and 4. Not saying that life couldn’t have been equally great without them, but they are amazing. Rewired me in best way possible: to appreciate non-work life as much as anything else (perhaps more). None of us really know

The podcast I listened to the most: Dithering. Primary reason? 15 mins. Sometimes listened to Stratechery Interviews if/when the guest intrigued me outside of the Stratechery ecosystem. My problem is part style, and part content. Strat

I recently canceled my Stratechery Plus subscription. Don’t miss it to be honest - once a week free is plenty.

I don't think of Show HN as quite the same. Nor Ask HN. I know that otherwise there is plenty of "advertising" within posts/comments/etc. Where I think the argument that it's not social falls down is aligned wi

HN has plenty of social media components. Think a better version is: HN is not an advertising-controlled social media website. That specific version makes most sense to me.

Stopped immediately by the Medium content wall. Sorry!

I assume parents. Not actual schools. Same situation here on East Coast. School uses ParentSquare but so much coordination is over iMesssage and WhatsApp.

I'm probably not alone in this: feel caught (somewhat) in a vicious cycle where I favorite many GenAI posts thinking I'll come back to comments and posts to learn and build more AI skills. That happens, but the system is not balan

That and my god the odors! The interaction is so much worse in my 40s than it used to be.

Curious how many folks subscribe to external calendar feeds? My school system publishes a calendar feed. I don’t see any for her various other activities, all with their own apps and ways of organization (or not). Right now I feed everythin

Totally fair. Hard to decipher from social media - I stand corrected and I’ll go anyways!

Fair points all around. I am now flashing back to jam/funk shows that occurred in smoke clouds.

by grvdrm 4mo ago
I agree with your points. That said, my view is now (not novel, or unique) that I am not the customer in so many cases. Any app or platform with the slightest hint of an advertising end-game restructures my usage as the product. The custome

So fun. Long-time fan of electronic music and am heading to my first DJ-centered concerts this year. I think that scene is overrun with influencer types and various types of recreational substance use. Maybe I'm wrong. Bookmarking for

Right. That train distance is ~20-25 mins walk. So, I save some time driving - and use that time elsewhere. Also, putting aside dense cities like Boston, NY, Chicago - I think most folks wouldn't describe many others in the U.S. as wal

Thank you for the laugh. I knew I saw those lights somewhere and that they didn’t require millions and millions of design prowess from Ive.

I ... it's growing on me! Odd. Very odd feeling. I like the front. I like the interior. Controls and touches look great on video. But rear is awful. So far anyways. Reminds me of this Chevy Impala model family: https://www.r
