I also ditched my apple watch. Even when working out I didn't really bother using it to track my workouts. Going to the gym is the only thing that mattered. For checking the time and apps? I have my phone in my pocket at all times... C

Software development is already considered a crime in some cases. Tornado cash devs were an example. Satoshi Nakamoto decision to remain anonymous and disappear seems wiser as time passes. I have seen people comparing durov with ross ulbric

You make a good point. I did see a pattern in my friend circle of those that got sun burn and those who don’t. Skin color and sun exposure habits play a big role. The paler you are the more disciplined you need to be in regards to sun expos

My dogs and cats love sunbathing. But they intercalate between shade and sun all day. It’s about balance, that’s what I learned from observing them.

Yeah, I think people forget that when you are employed you are not the owner, you are sacrificing your freedom to serve someone else’s enterprise. I think its very healthy and human to understand people have phases in life where they need t

I think having gmaps is must. Even if you don’t open it, you should have it in case everything goes wrong. I like waze, but sometimes it just fails to find me a certain place.

I agree. Mariadb is one of the easiest dbs i have ever used. Easy to setup and flexible. I prefer to use whatever makes it quicker to build something, which usually means whatever I am experienced with already. Building products is what’s i

I agree with you assessment but I think it’s a snowball effect as well. Mental health is notoriously declining and I myself feel the difference when there are days where I don’t touch social media. I also found that some social media affect

I think the internet has become much more toxic these last few years. I see a lot of resentment and projection in people’s comments. And most of the time the ,comments are useless and don’t represent the general consumer/citizen opin

I used to say the same thing until I tried different types of coffee and different amounts. The average expresso doesn't do much. Also if you are already feeling well, it's unlikely you will feel a big difference unless you consum

9 billion dollares worth of BTC. It's honestly not that impactful as people may think. Note that BTC's last 24h volume was $15Billion (some of it is fake, but it's still alot) The price reaction to this news proves it.

Stuff like this, makes me thankful to have chosen password managers and virtual cards a long time ago... Still this makes the interent scarier. Most people don't have a clue how fragile the web is and how vunerable they are.

I saw somewhere that it was Porn that made the internet popular. I wonder what kind of consequences would emerge from imposing a world wide ban on the online porn industry. I see some comments here saying that people would still find a way.

Without a doubt, they have one hell of an engineering team. After a life on windows and some periods on linux, apple managed to refine their os and hardware to the point where I can say, it doesn’t get in the way and it “just works”, which,

Aside from their spectacular laptops with arm, they seem like they are being left behind. Vision Pro is probably a gimmick along with the whole VR world right now, which will change soon too but overall I don't see anything exciting ab

Never made sense to me. Bitcoin is open. Cash is private and anonymous. If monero was the first currency to come out I would’ve considered that.

Because we humans are more important than them. I don’t understand the issue. We should try to minimize the pain and suffering of these test subjects, in a few decades I am sure we will have better alternatives…

Typical anarchist ideas. Nobody would benefit from YouTube going down, only assholes who want to watch things collapse because they have no self worth. YouTube is one of the biggest pilars of education, entertainment, knowledge and history

People were already struggling before any of those people became popular. The population always did this through the ages. Social media came and came in fast. Today's society is still figuring out it's effects on people and what t

I think you are in a minority. Ff10 was huge leap at the time and they never looked back. Voice acting is something most people enjoy and make the story actually enjoyable.

The iMessage “social pressure” is mostly a USA problem. Europeans use whatsapp and some eastern use telegram. Which is not surprising since iphone is and always was one of the most expensive phones to get.

Most of OS are doomed from the start. It's a waste of everybodys time, except for those that build these systems and learn about OS development. We don't need a new OS, much less one trying to compete with Mac (lol, no chance). Wh
