They're building their own little world, a parallel reality where owning submarine garages and yachts and island hideouts is appropriate; but helping the rest of humanity isn't. I hope we — the People — realise this faster and dec

Many countries have their variation of the USAID. In fact the UK, France, Canada, etc. have such programs. I'd argue that these are an investment in the future and end up being positive for the countries investing in them, in the form

WhatsApp is infuriating about this on iOS. If you want to share your location in real-time, it needs the full always-on tracking permission. Why not keep sharing but only when I unlock the phone? The other person usually doesn't need 1

Landlord bought a Samsung smart oven that requires Wi-Fi to keep track of time. We manage without, but requires (re)setting the clock every day.

I agree with the sentiment of the post, but sometimes it would be too ‘expensive’ to implement a solution to some of these problems. E.g. on user accounts: nobody likes them, but when Uncle Fizz asks customer support for his data because he

Honest question but how is hemp competing with weed? Are these different plants?

It's waaaay more complicated to download ADB and side load a random APK. This is either a move towards tighter control of the platform or a government request. And somewhat ironic, given that iOS is being pressured to be a bit more ope

These types of posts make for excellent karma farming, but this one does present all the issues you've mentioned. Heck, Scaleway has managed Mongo for a bit more money and with redundancy and multi-AZ to boot. Were they trying to go as

Duplicati was easy enough to convince the family. And for our home server, I set up Restic. I agree that this later one is tricky to set up properly and grandma would definitely struggle.

I find your arguments hard to relate to, given that I buy CDs/on Bandcamp because I want to pay musicians. I usually can't afford concerts, so I won't be there as a channel for merch. If you release all your work under permis

I think GP is criticising how ‘wasteful’ that is compared to better uses of the money in $/employee. It's really not creating that many jobs for the amount of cash we're talking about.

Can you suggest a middle ground that works? JetBrain's pay-to-upgrade but keep the fallback license? I'm genuinely asking. I'm (finally) making my own app without the VC crap, and my best-case scenario is to sell for a fixed

We finally reached critical mass on seeing money as an arbitrary construct, so now we're converting it into real, physics-based heat. Entropy at its finest.

I've bought a former partner very expensive earrings cheaper than this bag. What is riling people, I think, it's that we're being crunched by inflation and dwindling purchasing power, but here's a mass-market company put

Oh, I get it, I've worked fashion retail at H&M. The nonsense designer collections would sell out fast, even though it's a) still H&M and b) made in the same sweatshops. People like status items. But come on, this is some

There was a commenter some time back showing that browser statistics were easy to skew. Safari and Firefox are less likely to show up in analytics, so website owners think they're less important than they really are. Conflating client-

The price is incredible. Many phones on the market are cheaper than this accessory. Maybe the true market need is “people don't know how much disposable income I'm willing to throw at nonsense”.

In many European segments we're finding them comparably priced. If we factor getting to the Ryanair airports, luggage, etc., sometimes we're better off flying, say, Brussels Airlines. And I'd happily buy food in Ryanair fligh
