Is it fair to assume most mouses have a scroll wheel? Hover and use that? Do they do that?

I cannot possibly oppose this take more; you're perfectly embodying the "slow frog boiling" mentality that must be fought everyday. Curse, yell, fight. Never accept things just because they've grown to be common.

OP, pay no attention to the haters. Brilliant idea, especially given the slop out there. For my journaling, I've been experimenting with similar. That being said, whatever I do I'm going to keep completely in-house, as in offlin

Meh, false; the cost of the disruption will almost certainly be comparable, if not outweigh, the money paid.

Good for them.

Systematic of so much clown techbro thought; idiots only see the obvious nicks and problems -- and even occasional absurdity -- in large institutions, and think they can come in fix everything. It's just an extension of good ol' C

When I saw the headline, I genuinely could not picture what could possibly be meant by "A Golden Age Of Software In Which We Currently Reside." So, I suppose it means SaaS-as-viable-income-maker. Which, well -- I suppose is fine

There is no such thing as a "hallucination" that could be isolated from "not a hallucination" in a provable systematic way because all they do is hallucinate. I'm extremely comfortable calling this paper complete an

You and I can, yes. But, network effects.

Hot take: IPv4 might be techinically worse, but it's "politically" (in the classic sense of the word) better. IPv6 essentially enables "universal internet IDs" for every device, which could streamline a lot of thing

"Yo dawg.." Or is that finally a lost to time meme? :)

Thank you, op, for bringing sanity to this whole thing. Relatedly, this is why I think every "new" social media service that isn't Mastodon is barking up the most wrong tree with "take everything with you," you&#x27

Why? Genuine question. What's to "celebrate?" This is like "celebrating" a ketchup company removing the rat hairs.

Oh, as a lawyer, I must insist that you should never do piracy and its wrong, which is why I try to inform people as much about this thing so that they can avoid it. :)

No disrespect to op, but I'm baffled as to how people keep coming up with ideas like this as if they are viable. Google is never ever ever ever going to "pay to scrape." I'm genuinely baffled as to how people think it wo

Haha, what a headline. The internet "allows" ePub and PDF downloads for ALL books. Adjust yourselves accordingly.

As an old guy "System: The code is currently tested only on Linux." :)

This is going to be very true right up until it isn't. Yeah, I know that sounds fake-deep but we've seen this before; I'm old enough to remember when WordPerfect was the standard that wasn't going anywhere. It will just

Ever read something that's so mind-bogglingly stupid that you have to pause and wonder (even now) if you're the stupid one? That's me right now. Okay, let me walk through it. I think what's going on here is an extreme do

Any SaaS consumable by AI probably deserves it, no?

by jrm4 10mo ago
Oh, AI could hurt the concepts of "apps" badly and still be good for people. Strong chance that the push in innovation in this space doesn't get reflected in "apps sold or downloaded," and in fact hurts this metri

Right - I'm wondering why this article is so important and maybe I haven't seen enough intrusive "smart" TV's -- but is it not the case that for the vast majority of smart TVs, you can still just connect whatever

Sorry, I do have to say "touch grass" here. It's not about "me being personally offended." It's about professionalism. It's a tradeoff. I see both sides of getting rid of e.g. "master;" but GIMP

If I have to "wait and learn about it" then it's not the same, now is it?

I think it could have been -- which is to say, I think a better name earlier on could have well been what could have gotten more contributors etc etc. Network effects and such.

While we're here, let me go ahead and once again give much praise to https://zim-wiki.org , my daily driver for most things in my life. It was really interesting to see the sort of "second stage" discovery of thin

I'll die on the proverbial hill that the absolute worst instance of this has always been GIMP, which could have perhaps eaten Adobe's lunch MANY years ago. It was and perhaps still is, a solid competitor to Photoshop, but any unfa

I don't think it's too reductive to suggest that what you're liking is also "a feeling," just a different one than you were thinking about?

That first sentence feels like one of those fake-deep things that sounds important, but can effectively be used to justify about anything? Which is to say, in a world that's -- you know -- a society; not screwing over the other guy is
