The most annoying thing I've found is that they always assume I'm right. If I ask a question, they assume the answer is yes, and will bend over backwards in an obsequious manner to ensure that I'm correct. "Why of course

The entire point Jay Graber is making with her shirt is that BlueSky does not want to be the next Facebook or Twitter. I don't understand how you misunderstood that so badly that you came to this conclusion.

Agree, but they're still building great hardware.

Perfect is the enemy of good. BlueSky is an iterative improvement on the other viable platforms.

I've also observed this issue and I wonder where the industry is on it. There seem to be a lot of claims that a given approach will work here, but not a lot of provably working use cases.

I think the previous poster's point goes beyond that. The argument is that the stock market is going down not because of any standard economic factors, but because of rising uncertainty about US policy. Businesses and investors love st

The worldview where "both sides" must have valid points is also extremely problematic. There's no need to give equal time to fascists. Sometimes one "side" is wrong and the only appropriate thing to do is say so.

Why not just abandon everyone that I love to suffer?

Ah, but you're wrong. The "Nobel Prize" for Economics is actually not a literal Nobel Prize but one established by the Nobel committee after Alfred Nobel's death which has some distinctions making it different from the o

I was able to reproduce this, but only by following your very specific set of instructions. Never in a million years would I have found this on my own.

I used to feel that way in my 20s. Things changed a lot when I hit 40.

How exactly does one get a prescription for that without any apparent need for it?

I just don't have the words to express how ashamed I am of my country today.

I liked Elon until about 2018. Since then he's gradually degraded from "interesting founder" to "guy who picks fights about weird topics on the internet" to "absurdist oligarch actively working to destroy insti

People have been upset about the direction of Twitter, for a variety of reasons, since Elon bought it. BlueSky was simply the best alternative available when people began leaving Twitter in droves. I don't think you can assign intent t

I enjoy phind.com if I want an AI to summarize a topic. Because while it will give me a nice LLM summary, it will also cite its sources . Whatever particular aspect of the summary intrigues me is what I'll then go look at the original

While I don't disagree about bloat: I like the podcast features, but I hate audiobooks. My wife doesn't listen to podcasts, but loves audiobooks. I understand appealing to a range of users. Some configuration options might be warr

Well, good. But also: build better software.

This post feels like it was written 10 years ago. There are plenty of excellent dependency management systems for Python these days. Honestly, the biggest problem is that there are too many ways to set it up.

An amusing side-story: > Normally, trolling and sadistic glee over a person’s death are relegated to the margins on extremist sites like 4chan or X ever since Elon Musk purchased the platform. Media outlets are now outright referring to

TV pundits are compensated based on their ability to keep audiences engaged. The people who decide that anger-based engagement is acceptable are, like Brian Thompson, executives. I don't think any of them deserve to be murdered, but th

That's an absolutely insane characterization. I can certainly agree that the healthcare system in the US is broken, but I don't think applauding the slaughter of healthcare executives is a reasonable reaction.

I kinda doubt that. Suppressors aren't that hard to come by.
