I'm not an economist, so I'm looking out for an informed opinion on this. What are you basing this on? I either see the dismissive takes or the doomsayer comments but it all just seems like speculation. I'm not sure if we&#x2

I think the Reddit redesign deserves criticism. The redesign did nothing to improve or unify the UX between desktop and mobile while introducing a bunch of obnoxious dark patterns. But Wikipedia is better for it's redesign. I think cha

I'm on mac for work and use an open source app called Rectangle to manage app windows. I don't know how people manage without it! It's funny how bad window management is with mac. I'd not be surprised if Apple's UI&

Reddit is not a great comparison. It looks like the video elements of reddit were cobbled together quickly and just left in place since it sort of worked. It won't annoy too many users when most content doesn't use reddit's v

Why would you put TOR behind a VPN? That just increases the surface area for attack.

I should clarify. By hard to classify, I mean with same tools that common practice period music is analysed with. Genres like modern rock, metal, rap, and lots of electronic genres are hard to study using those same methods. I suspect it&#x

Interesting, and a great segue into the larger criticisms of music education. When I was attending music school, I felt like there was a strong resistance to anything that wasn't easily classifiable. No matter who went in they all play

Social media gives you that dopamine fix quicker than your other options. It quickly becomes a habit if you've been doing it for long enough. I'm sure if you tried to make doing other things a habit, it would come easier to you ov

I won't accuse you of strawmanning but this misrepresents my statement. It's would be weird to drop in figures about drug deaths in this article or something like that. I don't see why that would be relevant. But it'd be

Or just don't buy an idiot box. I'd argue the TV is one of the most harmful inventions of the modern age. Sitting for hours a day is the new smoking. And the ever more hyper-partisan news rots the mind. All so you can watch the la

Can you not read, or did you just choose not to? There are a range of experiences from both sides of the discussion.

Well said. These drug-positive articles never appropriately discuss the negative side effects of the lifestyle in a way that seems realistic. Several people from my youth never made it to adulthood to regret the things they did as a result

Normally, I'd first go with "So what did they do wrong?". But since it's the security team, I'm gonna go with Patreon is in dire financial straits and this is the tip of the iceberg.

Agreed, I'd even argue that the opposite statement is true. The divide between the top and bottom is wider than ever in the UK. People grow up in insular little bubbles. Everyone thinks they are the bottom rung on the social ladder. Th

Why do you need a queen in 21st century? Frankly, we don't. Can't the Brits abolish royalty, how they abolished slavery? We could. We won't, not yet. I say this as a Brit in favour of an elected head of state. It's p

I'm currently on call. A 5 minute response time means to respond to the call out and start working on it. If you're on call, you should have a suitable WFH setup and it should be on standby, so 5 minutes is ample time. It doesn&#x

I will always assume that any kind of plausible deniability is lost just by design of the law unless they really can't pin it on an individual. The computer misuse act of my country is vaguely defined for this reason, as I imagine the

This is really the selling point of Go for me that makes up for it's shortcomings. I've probably lost years off my life thanks to gradle.

What does the author mean by counterculture? They don't define what a counterculture is, or why it is either good or bad to have one, before listing their suspected symptoms of it. Rather than one monolithic counterculture, there are l

Firstly, job interviews are difficult but they are not dystopian. Secondly, your claim that you can skip negativity by unplugging from social media is ludicrous. While I understand the point you're making, it is obvious why negativity

I always assumed "toxic" means that it affects others it comes into contact with. e.g. You've had a bad day at work: Negative: Being a bit withdrawn and avoiding conversation Toxically negative: Shouting at your wife and kids

This is quite a thin article. Not really much to go on in either direction. I'd be interested in some better reading on the subject if anyone has any. Personally, I think I see a lot more toxic negativity than toxic positivity in the w

I see this snooty clap back every time someone dares give any criticism of youtube alternatives. "Lacking Google" is not a feature, nor does it make up for lacking features most users would call fundamentally necessary.

This is a bit melodramatic. I've lived alone with T1D for the better part of a decade without any problem. I went to uni, alone, without any problems. Frankly, I think depending on other people is a liability. I can't count on my

That is an obscure comparison. Toilets fulfilled a very real issue. When did you last get cholera? Most tech does not serve any real utility like this. Beyond generating money through increasingly deceitful means, what does Google do nowada
