I suggest the other way around: Don't work at all. Zero hours, seven days a week. I call it the 0 Model. It's a huge blessing.

I support this for the same reason I want scripted reality TV shows to be labeled as such. Anything that claims to be reality but isn't should be clearly marked as such, unless it's obvious from the context.

If Uber knew but did not warn her, then it's certainly correct that they were convicted.

I actually don't even care too much if they try to detect, that I am the X from last time. The issue is them selling the data, or using it in unrelated locations, or trying to detect me as a person. And their programmers are not enforc

Right you are. Making it "simpler" at the cost of removing possibilities is not usability. That is dictatorship disguising itself as a service to the alleged "uneducated user". The Gnome people do / have done that,

Your taste is not different regarding usability but regarding tools. Usability just means making that what you use as usable as possible: * Window managers are wisely preconfigured and the user can one-click-switch between them, like

Yes, especially as the company could just implement a button "Delete your data" on their website. An automated task initiated by the user. No work for them. Companies could also make clear before any registration, on one page, whi

> Counter-example: many times, what I find more usable is what others find less usable. Unless I'm objectively stupid, usability is subjective. Hard to argue with you about that, unless you get more concrete. Can you give an example

Stop using languages where strings are callable :-p

You are making a philosophy out of it, but I claim that usability is not a philosophy but an objective value. The more usable a tool is, without losing anything else, the higher it's value.

Disagree. It is good for users of all operating systems, if Linux becomes so usable that it threatens Windows. Then Windows has to improve and we have a race to the top.

Useful! I like that it does not produce crude floating point numbers, but keeps the clean integers.

Interesting, that was what I had on Win 10. Seems they still have not fixed it.

The Start menu now allows me to do what I have been doing since, like, XP, using shellinks and folders in the taskbar: Sort the Program icons in categories (like "Coding", "Sys", "Tweak", "Web"), to f

That's terrifying, as I currently have no boot stick. Does someone know a reliable free system backup tool for windows, in simplicity comparable to Timeshift on Linux Mint, which I can start from an USB Medium to restore a broken syste

Also interesting: Start with an empty board and let the players place their pieces and pawns however they want in their half of the board, as long as the piece does not attack an enemy piece.

JQuery is cool because it does not try to replace the HTML. Progressive_Enhancement / Graceful Degradation is possible with jQuery, something which the new Frameworks, Svelte, React, etc., have forgotten / never learned.

I guess my "I still don't care about cookies" add-on prevents the pop-ups, but one of the other add-ons prevents the video from playing. Or the site is just broken.

That said, there need to be some new laws regarding miserable people using AI in a miserable way, like, claiming something real happened that never did, just to get attention and money. Also, the fact that AI is used has to be documented, s
