You can have work theater or work surveillance, take your pick. Someone has to make sure the money is being spent well and if you’re not good at making that case you’ll get canned. All these “I work better from home” folks never mention how

> Hayao Miyazaki can't release a movie with zero marketing and expect no effect... He doesn’t care. He won an Oscar and didn’t show up. The Oscar is still at Disney.

That’s only your take away because you read the entire post where the author negates all of these points and reaffirms his belief that blogging is worthwhile.

“Although the saying tells us “If it’s free, then you are the product,” that is also incorrect. We are the sources of surveillance capitalism’s crucial surplus: the objects of a technologically advanced and increasingly inescapable raw-mate

Overcoming 'natural human responses' is key to growing as a person. Just because a response is 'natural' doesn't make it 'right' or 'healthy.' I get that the person who said this to the student i

Not just “others,” but other people who have no business whatsoever making such a judgement. If a person comes up to you on the street and, out of the blue, says “you’re ugly!” Do you care? Surely not! You don’t know them, you’re not attemp

>”I think if someone takes more than 5 years the student is the problem,” the speaker replied tersely. I was devestated. I’m always shocked when adults give any fucks at all what some rando thinks of them. Got a problem with my work? Let

It pretty much evens out, given what being pregnant does to someone. You could always just sleep with men if it really bothers you that much.

Calibre is great! I’ve donated a few times. Alas, I simply don’t have the time or patience to maintain a library like this. It just isn’t worth it to me. I am grateful that the option exists.

I agree with everything in this article, but I also gave up. I accept that when I buy an ebook, it’s not mine, I’m just renting cloud storage for it until the company decides I can’t have it anymore. This is mostly because the value I extra

Reminds me of the famous double feature in Japan: Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro. Totoro was paired with Grave because Totoro was considered a risk, Grave being an historical picture.

It’s not that Meta didn’t release an app, it’s that Meta releasing an app and having it get 100m users isn’t a clear signal of anything other than what we already knew — that Meta is a massive force in social media. The “fastest growing” me

If we’re counting people using a feature of an account they already have as “growing,” WeChat has surely done this faster many times, and many times over. They regularly release apps. Or iMessage, which was released in 2011 when there were

If you did not enjoy the Apple Store experience you should absolutely not go there again. You are in charge of your time and attention. Only you get to decide how to spend it. I don’t have the same negative experience as others in this thre

It’s clever. They’re essentially hacking your attention by taking advantage of the fact that you already signaled you have money and are willing to spend it. Getting you in the store and putting the hardware in front of you is the hardest p

The comment I'm responding to asked if either the customer or the company were better after the merger. Google's (and YouTube's) customers are advertisers. Advertisers are certainly better off with the scale and reach that Go

Yeah. The other day I got a stale donut from Tim Horton’s, so I cancelled my doctor’s appointment at TGH. If Canada can’t even serve fresh donuts, how can I expect them to provide competent medical care? It’s the same people.

BlueSky isn't launched yet, and Mastodon is horribly confusing. I'm glad they exist, and I hope they fracture the social media space to challenge the monoliths, but I'm not hopeful.
