I think it warrants caution that measuring bot usage as a correlation to narrative truthiness might also be wrong? Something like “I stand with Ukraine” has become such a ubiquitous feel good signal on social media among the masses, that I

It’s not just Reddit, either. This same story has played out for me on Anime News Network’s forums, some gaming forums, etc. Ultimately I just take my toys and go home - they don’t want me there, and it’s their legal right to say so. But it

Sorry for not being clear, but my post was more so addressing my anecdotal experience with small to medium sized companies, not big tech or FAANG type companies. I can’t really comment on whether Oracle’s culture is more or less repressive

It’s unfortunate, but there is a strong link between company culture and their remote work offerings. At this point, companies that are “office first” tend to be of the poorly managed, tech-debt riddled, low trust variety, while remote firs

Actually, I totally meant tenant in a metaphorical sense, in which the precepts of a teaching takes up metaphysical residence in the soul of the —- alright, fine. Yes, tenet is the word I was reaching for. Thank you. :)

And was, and still is, frequently mischaracterized by critics as “all the bacon you want”, failing to mention the core tenant of “healthy natural greens and unprocessed meats”. I wonder if the people spreading what may have been deliberate

And if a population doesn’t like it and/or wants access to the original, then the corrective action is less destructive, more equally available, and more quickly realized. I.e. “stop subscribing to the censored service and back any com

Moreover, there is evidence that Google (along with Twitter and Facebook) frequently take actions to suppress opposing views on behalf of, and in collusion with, one side of the US government, including removal of information from one side

This is something I’m struggling with at work. If I take the initiative to build something that I think will be helpful, or fix something that’s broken in someone else’s project, then I suddenly “own” that thing. Which is ok, until I get 20

That sounds very one sided. The compromise (as the poster to whom you replied mentioned) should be “as members of society, we should occasionally compromise our needs to help meet the needs of people who prefer a more social office atmosphe

Not everyone has other social activities they enjoy. Or the social activities they might enjoy, involve some skill prerequisite they don’t have, or time commitments they can’t keep. Essentially, if someone was already a social person and

I will start off by saying that I have a messy legacy project that I work on and try to improve where I can, and I also would prefer to rewrite and start over. I haven't been fully successful at either approach yet myself, but I have

While TUI apps are not new, and I’m not inherently against them (I very much like them), I am worried that the recent proliferation of frameworks is going to give a lot of developers a shiny new toy to build fancy apps with that will now be

This is why I think things like Stadia are targeting a very small market. You have casual gamers, that are perfectly happy playing natively on their phones or laptops at low settings. Then you have “serious” gamers, that tend to be happy sp

I can confirm that, anecdotally, this is a fairly accurate portrayal of the reasons for my burnout over the last couple years. The past several years at my company have been particularly focused on “quick and dirty results” that I predict w

In my circle of friends and family, I’ve been warning them every time I hear of someone unjustly banned somewhere that: (a) big tech has too much power (b) you should probably not rely too much on Facebook or Twitter for photos, groups, etc

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing on its own - it's actually quite reasonable that one person's focus when "building a text editor" is going to be lower level along the lines of "how do I write a bu

I've considered myself "not a morning person" for a while now, but maybe just making sleep the priority at night and attempting to trade that time for a movie or TV show in the morning might be worth a try.

I was being partially serious - now that you mention it, between this project's ability to show my time spent watching something, and my phone's app usage, I could probably figure the difference to be the time spent browsing vs wa

Good advice - I think if I approached streaming apps as a means to watch something that I already have chosen to watch, and less as a means of finding something to watch, it would be a more purposeful activity and thus wouldn't feel li

Interesting ideas - if I understand, essentially the "browsing" phase is a distinct activity from the "watching/reading/playing" phase, and the browsing phase can become its own form of "unwinding" as

I might need something that tells me how much time I spend browsing Netflix only to not watch anything. My Netflix habit consists of aspiring to actually watch something as a way to relax before bed, opening the app, scrolling through a bun

As per usual, fat asses like myself are left out. Was all set to buy one to support them. I know, I know… “lose some damn weight, fatty”. I will, I’m trying, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to rock one of these in the meanwhile.

Honestly, I find it more than a little ironic that the author is arguing against single-page web apps and then praises native apps as “doing it right”. Native apps are built and run in a way FAR closer to how single page web apps work in th
