I've been feeling this for a while. There's a performative sort of aspect to people's personalities now as though they are mimicking a character playing out scenes. There's always been jokers or people who quote lines fr

People working from home for the first time over the last few years are still in the honeymoon period where it seems 100% positive with no downsides. After 10+ years of working remotely I can tell you it's not as great as it seems. Fir

One of the reasons I got out of network engineering was how frequently the work I was required to do would cause unintended consequences. You can do all your due diligence, get your work blessed by vendor support, and still get blown up by

One of the greatest flaws of modern society is how we systematically beat this natural childlike enthusiasm for bending the rules out of people. I'm just old enough to remember when 'it was just a joke' was a legitimate excus

Jordan Peterson is completely wrong though. Monogamy is part of the problem. We should normalize as a society that there are indeed people you just want to have sex with but are not interested in marrying/reproduction with. It shouldn&

There should be a feature to request an unlock request to the owner. I accidentally re-sold a locked iPhone once and luckily was able to work it out with the buyer but only because they had my contact info. That being said this is a known r

It's a flawed system now that people most often use downvotes as disagrees. In the process of disagreeing you are also suppressing alternative opinions and information. It's the modern day version of shooting the messenger. Slashd

Seems like all this trouble and risk could have been avoided by simply leaving a note on the car with a warning about cameras/police. That's going to discourage most people who think they are 'getting away with it' to st

The simple satisfaction of successfully installing software from a stack of magnetic disks is part of what made computers fun back in the day. I remember installing software I didn't even want just because I enjoyed the process and the

Some products/service are really hard to quote upfront without knowing the customer's exact use case and needs. You don't want to scare everyone away with sticker shock but at the same time you don't want to mislead peop

Personally used about an even split of ECC vs. non-ECC RAM over the last ~30 years and can't say I've ever encountered any problems with non-ECC RAM. If it happened it was no significance for me to notice. Professionally yeah I&#x

Probably untrue but the general trend of Apple throwing in the towel on privacy has made me start seriously thinking about the logistics of moving away from macOS in the near future. I know it's going to be super unpleasant because I&#

If you're able to horde in a healthy way it's no problem. I just think for a lot of people it tends to become an unhealthy obsession of relying on obtaining media to self medicate. Chasing the dragon trying to obtain more and more

There is some value in consuming a mix of both push and pull content. In the modern world we've gone way overboard on only consuming what we want exactly when we want it it. News letters are more like a magazine or newspaper subscripti

Alternatively consider reducing your addiction to television/movies and stop worrying about where your next fix is coming from. In the golden era of piracy I used to be a huge media pack rat spending hours a day obtaining more media to
