Also competitors would leave shit reviews and Googles completely brick walling any way to rectify or moderate reviews made it a shit service in true Google fashion. Google and service live in two different worlds.

Or just leave the pile of crap behind. The more we do, the less the whole system matters. Never been happier since I left last year. And yes I can already hear the reply the “we need it for…” , sure as a company if you feel you need it. As

This sounds like it was “designed” by an actual idiot. Maybe vibe coded on a Saturday.

I like Obsidian for note taking and it does have an infinite canvas, but it feels bolted on. I would love to have a more canvas first note taking app, maybe with folders for visual declutter. Navigation in default Obsidian is one of the wea

Honestly I am not sure, it’s an interesting theory that matches our evolved right handedness as the “right” way to do something, and the other as left. Maybe left handed people were seen as different? And it seeped into language. There is a

Ah fun fact, why do we use the word “right” and “left” but also use the word “right” as correct/lawful and use left as thing that is well, left? A linguist theory says that people always been predominantly right handed, so the way you

And we learned nothing of previous hype cycles. Enshitification in this area will be shift. And there will be grand articles here on HN “nobody could possibly have seen this coming.” Yes we did.

Hear hear. It seems so innocent. “Just an ad” but the whole influencing industry is kind of a nice word for “manipulation” When the cost of manipulation is so low, and the repercussions for lying and cheating are not there, everything gets

It also sounds like people with little ability can use this argument as a way to say “look how difficult this is for humans” While it’s just a “you” problem. Some folks have better skills, knowledge and comfort with difficult subjects. And

I have been going back some times to flickr and dropped insta, since it’s a crap place these days (like most of the big socials) The elegance of flickr is just nice and browsing is fun. I wonder if there are more sites like it.

Welcome to the aesthetic world! In the western philosophical and certainly scientific discourse there has since centuries been this drive for objectivity and universals. This has led to great discoveries and thinking. But it’s not the only

They try to make it feel like an “us” browser, but it just comes off as a corp trying to talk cool. You have to walk the walk too Mozilla! Saying that as a FF for years.

The post yesterday about the teacher who gave students an Apple II and taught assembly was very enlightening and example of how to go forward.

I worked in a creative shop, so we sold a lot of colors of ink, paint, crayons etc. It’s interesting to watch people trying to pick “red” when there is like a whole gamut of red. Not only that, but it depends on the lighting around as well.

Don’t know if this is an annoying response… but how about just going through the code and check and grade the quality yourself?

Well, on the 2nd paragraph, I have no illusion they’ll figure out more as they are being trained. I am more thinking of the custodians (as coders turn into that) Say you are a good coder now, but you are becoming a custodian, checking the l

I also can’t wait for the time when few know how to code. Just like how many folks don’t know html from css when the homebrew website went away. Their might always be llms, but the dependence is an interesting topic.

Something I was thinking about was a simple tip jar system. You can add credits to a tipjar system, and if you like a post, site, or whatever you can gift credits. Completely gets rid of ads that nobody likes anyway. You could maybe automat

These are usually multi billion dollar companies, they’ll be fine, stop worrying about them. Start worrying about the erosion of your rights as a consumer.

We need a law that a human representative can be spoken to within 24 hours or directly when something critical happens. Also “there is no appeal possible” should be plain illegal.

If I was in art school, I would make a program that prints a generative image as fast as it can. Maybe add a few of those large ink printers that can print thousands of pictures. Add a fan to blow the paper around. Then watch as it complet
