Even Vulcans can't quite manage this level of emotional control. Complete personal responsibility for one's own emotions is a nice ideal, but humans are not stoic robots. People are responsible for their behavior and its effects

We already have ubiquitous surveillance capitalism. Allowing a little more of it so more people can be part of fighting it is good.

Beta readers/listeners. Sometimes I just want to have someone take a look or listen at something I made to see if my familiarity with it obscures a glaring flaw. Getting people who say they want to to actually follow through is often a

I wonder if Apple would be as concerned with backward compatibility if they had Microsoft's reach in governments and enterprise. Enormous organizations are probably not receptive to "it's your own fault for using undocumented

That sounds useful. The problem I had on Tinder was most of the guys used it to look for friends, so I'd get a match and see pictures of someone clearly in a relationship and no indication they were looking to add anyone to it. And the

All waves are made of sine waves. DC offset is when the signal is too much one way or another.

These days all browsers offer to generate and save a syncable password for you and fill in the email, so it's almost as easy to make a normal account as it is to use OAuth. It feels like OAuth/SSO is a tool for a different, less u

I stopped using Dropbox when they stopped allowing bulk note exports in Paper. Paper is so good , but it's ruined by their moat-building. They seem to be headed down a path of increasingly dark patterns.

The raw files off my D5600 are roughly 30MB each. If I took 100 photos a day, I would need +1TB every year to keep all of them. The battery is good for about 600 shots. Someone who does photography professionally can easily blow right past

I liked Dropbox Paper a lot, but then they took away the ability to bulk export notes. There is no good reason to do that. Only bad ones.

Seriously. There are pictures of National Guardspeople sleeping and resting on the floors of the capitol building. https://twitter.com/DaniellaMicaela/status/13493525298685788... They're there to protect the

Something much more pervasive than a response to a real and imminent danger.

I forget which podcast it was on, but Automattic's CEO (Matt Mullenweg) talked about how they use blogs internally for much of their communication, so there's a huge searchable archive of information back to the early days of the

I think the events of the last week will give a boost to things like ActivityPub. It has over a million active users, and two of the big projects (Mastodon and PeerTube) came out of EU countries. They have their problems, but if I were an o

I suppose that takes "blitz" out of consideration. I see your point, though.

Storming is just a term for what they did. It doesn't come from any particular movement.

It wasn't hard when all the big apps and most of the big instances blocked it between the announcement and launch. The instances that didn't block it mostly looked like Gab anyway.

The line between establishing credibility and bragging is easy to cross even for someone who's trying not to cross it.

The channel with an average of 3 million viewers at peak times? Cable news is not big. There are YouTubers I've never heard of who do a multiple of that on their videos. Don't mistake noise for influence.

It's been interesting to watch Trump signs vanish a few at a time with each post-election milestone. Most people seem to accept the results even if their lines are different.

Getting a Simple account in 2015 with its envelopes helped me get my spending under control and develop better financial habits. I'll miss the envelopes, but the budgeting habit already moved out to a spreadsheet.

They did a strike to get paid for streaming back when most people thought it wouldn't go anywhere. I think the industry is better off with them getting paid for what is becoming the default way to watch stuff.

And disproving a theory with lots of research backing it would be great. Imagine if someone found a huge hole in general relativity. There would be a boom in the grant writing industry.

It's possible you don't see random toolbars and malware now because Defender works. Microsoft could be smarter and offer default exclusions for some things.
