With the decline of Instagram, and Facebook's like of vision and product, I wonder if it's time for a new site to share pictures (and specifically not video since it seems to be cursed) with friends. I see people uploading picture

Have you looked at Tumblr lately? It always sounds just like what people say they miss nowadays from social media. Its feed is chronological by default (for now), and it does allow you to customize your own page in a lot of ways. I feel it&

Yeah, likely you won't get as many tools to help with structured GUIs and expected hooks to the operating system commands that your user will want to use, but if what you're looking for is unstructured, quirky, or artsy content, p

It's a nitpick but I wish everyone stopped spelling it like that and call it Actually Portable Executable at least. That kind of spelling really messes up with my reading comprehension, and I think it does for many people.

What motivates me is having a clear large goal (like say, adding a new core functionality to an app), and then break it down into small tasks that can easily be done in regular days of work. You end up with an ever increasing list of "

It took me a while for no good reason but I finally got an unofficial extension to add a "block" button to search results. It immediately improved my experience, I can't recommend it enough. No more Pinterest, SO clones, usel

I had deja vu and was about to check the date to suggest adding it to the title but whoa, it's a different one with the exact same title.

There's a library called rematch that's been implementing most of these ideas for a long time, but sadly it didn't get popular enough and it seems to be somewhat lacking maintenance. It was such a pleasure to use (in comparis

I'm sure this is already happening. I've caught some acquaintances' kids running around watching YouTube on their phones and the funnel gets them watching the most bizarre, awful, poisonous content you can't even imagine

This sucks because it also means no one is making add-ons for mobile, it's more of an accident that we even have ublock. There's use cases that the Firefox team will not work on for decades that could be filled by add-ons if they

At first Facebook seemed to eat up Fotolog because of novelty and being able to do just a bit more than uploading pictures, but right as it did it decided to bloat and destroy the feed so people had no way to share pictures and be seen. Tha

Not necessarily, there's some examples in that thread where the stairs are in such plain view that you'd feel exposed to the whole room. But even then, you'd need to confront people playing dumb hanging out below such stairs,

Thank you so much for sharing that! I had no idea how much I even needed this, my classes tend to get incredibly messy and it'd always bothered me.

Coming from a very cashfull society, this comment terrifies me about Sweden. Everything can go so wrong with electronic systems in everyday usage, it sounds very limiting.

I'm not able to tell you why it is that way, but idioma (as well as the similar sounding idiota, and the similarly ending bioma) is a masculine word, so it'd be "el idioma". I wish it were easier to rationalize.

I find it hilarious that every time Eve comes up, a comment exactly like this is always around the top. It should be codified into an Internet law.

And with no roadmap to reopen for the rest of the year at least, and considering they've always treated immigrants and descendants of immigrants a second class citizens, it does look like they just don't want foreigners at all and

It is what it is but it's so awful it's actually illegal to make contractors work as employees in most of the world. I'd wager it's got to be illegal in at least some American states.

That would certainly change things. Did they fire him pettily because they felt he didn't appreciate the party enough since he left? Or did his panic attack cause him to, say, punch someone in the face? There's so little detail in

When you go down to regional variants of Wikipedia it gets even worse. In Latin America the editors that fully control political articles are hilariously aligned with government entities. You'd get unsourced phrases like "the arri
