Digital book burning 2.0. “But it’s ok, we’re the good guys and doing it for the right reasons”, says every tyrant ever. Never let speech get censored no matter how good it makes you feel in the moment. It’s the worst precedent you can ever

I believe you’re being downvoted here but I think this is the core problem. The internet is bland and boring and screwed up precisely because of big tech getting into the censorship game. It’s a shame but Mozilla seems ideologically driven

Before human industrialization, was there not various types of erosion and droughts? Was temperature also completely static and never rose or fell? This is a poor article. I don’t knock this author for caring deeply, but those of us who ar

Am I incorrect in assuming that Mozilla’s goal was at one time to expand access of information to the world? I don’t see any other likely outcome of this “research” other than a fresh new media hue and cry detailing chains of “wrong-think”

Given that the US is basically in a non-shooting war with China, I wonder if this is something technical or part of some kind of attack. Something that I’d keep in mind.

I find Chrome infinitely more pleasant to develop in: those developer tools just rock. As a user though, Safari just feels smoother, seems to render pages better, and feels more native. If it had webm support it would be close to perfect f

My favored strategy would be be to put Harriet Tubman on the penny as the best path forward. This puts a wanted social change into the culture (Putting a black person on US currency) without removing any president from existing bills (Linco

My general opinion is that much of the web probably doesn’t need to use secure connections via https, especially if a site isn’t interactive in the slightest, but there’s one major benefit. With a secure connection you can have some reason

Please fact check me on this, but the ostensible initial justification for AMP wasn't decentralization, but speed. Businesses had started bloating up their websites with garbage trackers and other pointless marketing code that slowed d

I’d love to see some action here but I’m skeptical. It seems like attacking payment processors is the main avenue that the thought-crime-police use to attack alt-tech sites that don’t play ball with censoring. If there was any mass protest

Maybe this is good and useful for some people: but to me it feels like a continuation of the dark slide that frontend tooling is going on. Way overcomplicated, likely brittle and buggy, significant barriers to just sitting down and building

I think the various builders and tools out there actually made the market bigger. * Building various themes and designs and plugins for various platforms like Shopify and Squarespace and others are a major business, and can provide recurri

* For what it’s worth in terms of context, I’m not an “incel” and I’m in a pretty decent sexual relationship. * I think whatever brand of red-pilled you want to call me is the polar opposite of what an “incel” would be defined as. Most “inc

What I’ve been impressed with following Blender for a long time is they communicate their development well with their users. They provide demos, give discussions, give example files and videos, and make you realize that the donations are go

I don’t know if Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, was the first person to really write about this concept, but he originally wrote about the concept he called the “talent stack” with the same exact arguments in his books years ago. I thi
