Yes, they were everywhere including cereal boxex. But who didn't repurpose these free 3.5" floppy disks to store their stuff back in the day anyway?

Or more pedantically, Google knows where your device is to a sufficiently high degree of precision. They can't stop me from just leaving that shit home or in a faraday cage.

50/50 on privacy. Sure, privacy is cool but I pity the people whom must endure seeing the shapely flabs and curves of everyday people. That's got to have a toll on anyone's psych over time, as an "occupational hazard&q

Twitter seems to obfuscates recycled username creation dates too. I deleted an OG account from 2008 last year and now I see someone has claimed it but it's join date is from 2018.

That is interesting; I didn't know European countries would prefer sugar over corn syrup. Do people there also have the opinion that real sugar is more subjectively superior in it's taste and aftertaste?

This isn't really about the safe dosage of MSG for human consumption but the prolonged effects from folks whom are sensitive (or have developed a tolerance) to such exposure without even realizing it. I have had non-Asian friends whom

Well, most Chinese restaurants usually dump MSG into their cooking. Back before Panda Express stopped claiming they used it, they would dump more than one teaspoons of it for a single entree on the fly. MSG should be used as sparingly as po

This is anecdotal but drinking any soda causes me to pee harshly while tea has the opposite effect.

The real difference is Coca Cola made with real sugar than the more common HFCS.

Yes, the UX deteriorated over the years. DA was my main source for desktop wallpapers and Winamp skins until newer repositories sprang along, such as wallbase/wallhaven and most recently webamp as highlighted by a recent HN post.

Well, some publishers are careful to note the distinction between `allegations` and `accusations` while others do not. Then there's the word `indictment` which I always assumed meant something after the fact but is instead actually d

I don't think it is strictly a partisan issue but the potential precedence where a re-normalization event may occur. What struck me curious was a random quote quote from somewhere that reads: "conservatism is progressivism with sp

It may be true about 10 years ago but I imagine the heuristics to have been improved since; I remember being locked out of my Google account while abroad for a month and all it took was to log back in within my "country of origin"

I think people should recognize the distinction of an artist from their work and know their boundaries. If I said I enjoyed Alec Baldwin's "work" in his numerous film roles, I don't necessarily want to know what they are

This reminded me of Keybase where they signed and published [0] their root Merkle tree to the Bitcoin blockchain, as part of their server security mechanism. It was an ingenious idea at first until when it came to signature revocations. Eve

There is a feature in Winamp (as well as QMMP) that lets you double the size of it's UI making your custom skins more legible. Found titipoco again. I know I have a backup of it on a CD-R but no longer have an optical drive to read the

I wonder if what we perceive as global theater is actually just leveraging concessions in the background, a weird parallel to "informants" being whisked away as if they've exceeded their operational life cycle or purpose; a p

Yes, while the deprecated version is still on the Google Play store. If you were using a chromebook, you would be getting the same deprecated version. There is a way to sideload the F-droid version without going developer mode or compromisi
