Third party read-write NTFS drivers took FOREVER to become really robust. I remember hearing horror stories not infrequently up until maybe a decade or less ago.

I had a Firefox OS phone for hobby development. The initial release wasn't amazing, but 2.0 was actually surprisingly smooth and snappy on the anemic-even-for-the-time hardware! Great little device, genuinely. EDIT: It was a ZTE Open

The majority of non-city dwellers I know are now so propagandized against cities that I think they would be neutral to outright supportive of a kill order. This is a dire situation and I'm not sure how this country crawls back out of t

I'm not sure which group was behind it, but login.gov is a genuine delight and I'm always chuffed to run into a government website that uses it. EDIT: It was a joint effort between the two!

It was incredibly fun reading and was very cathartic to see the explosion everybody knew had to eventually happen. At the same time, I don't see any way it all shakes out in a way that betters the country. I think it's likely we e

Yeah the censorship is overbearing now. I've since deleted my account of a decade but just using the word "cis" got a post of mine immediately auto-moderated. I think people talking about how new-Twitter is somehow a bastion

> Aren't employees saying anything against these features? Likely, but it's just demoralized workplace grousing. Tech employees are statistically sycophantic, and the exceptions get burned out or tossed out by executives who sa

Since reading about cephalopod intelligence, I cut calamari out of my diet cold. I quip that I have a policy against eating anything smarter than me!

Avian cognition is so darn interesting. We associate the mammalian neocortex with "higher intelligence" (which is hand-wavy), but that structure arose after any common ancestor with birds. The avian pallium is thought to be the an

This is an incredibly common and frustrating bit of bad theology. There's no textual or archeological basis for it, and the really interesting mystery is where exactly this myth even came from. https://www.cambridge.org&#x2F

People have been talking about "education and retraining" to make up for jobs lost to technology since I was young. It's a nice idea, but I'm curious if that actually happens at scale rather than in isolated pockets. R

We should. But even small baby step measures with no downsides like plastic bag bans are wildly contentious. I live in a county that's enacted one, and it's been unambiguously an improvement for the area on top of the core goal of

I was happily paying for Duolingo Super, despite being unconfident in its pedagogy, until they announced they were replacing their human curriculum writers. Dropped it instantly. I get the bargain-basement cost-cutting appeal from a (bad) C

I'm curious how you figure a language whose central verbs and nouns are logic "isn't math".

Are we recovering? The knock-on damage you list seems to be accelerating if anything.

Generating a bad LLM summary of articles is poor form. (Especially since all the markdown is just visual noise)

There is something to be said for, to date, nobody on the right wing in the US managing to even partially recapture Trump's particularly inexplicable brand of charisma. Everybody who has tried has just flamed out (e.g. DeSantis crateri

This is an old pattern going back a good decade at least in conservative circles. Everybody ingests at least some of their worldview and opinions from external voices. That's a reality of humans trying to navigate a complicated messy w

If I'm reading the user right, and I'm not positive I am, they're more framing the people who support the administration's (reprehensible) agenda as being on a revenge kick for losing a small amount of their original pri

Sure, but I don't think I've called for aesthetics at all costs anywhere here.

This is exactly it: I know people who, whenever they see something funded through taxes that is anything beyond the absolute bare minimum, start grousing about money regardless of any actual underlying costs. People wildly overestimate th

I moved from a place that puts at least some effort into beautification to a place that slaps everything as cheaply and minimally together as possible. Both with significant freeze-thaw cycles. I'm pretty pragmatic in general. I get th

I realize this makes me very unusual and this is probably not a good business idea, but I'd be happy to fly pod-hostel style. I don't mind being stacked as long as I get to lie down.

I still think it's possible we'll have free elections still, assuming the SAVE act fails. If it passes, as a democracy we're probably failed beyond repair in my lifetime.

This is deeply detached from reality. I assure you, private R&D is voraciously reading published publicly funded papers. It's a significant PR issue that this misconception about how R&D works gets propagated ad nauseum.

Consumer Reports is great. I love them. They inherently have a limited testing capacity, and are not even able to look at a quarter of current products in the categories I'm usually looking at. They're just no substitute for thing
