I was looking for all kinds of sync software and stuff when I realised I could just use a local webserver. It’s kind of funny you don’t see the obvious sometimes.

I am still alone in my digital crusade for better UI and UX. I have been thinking started doing courses on it, because so many times I just proverbially weep a little when I see rookie mistakes in big apps. (Looking at you Apple and Google,

Did you read this line? It says after the domain and site: “That’s it. Everything else is optional awesomeness, you choose.”

This is actually the homepage of my accountant. “Instead of building a big website, we decided to save on the money. If you need accounting done, here is where you can reach us. It just black on white with blue links. I love it.

You could argue this already happened. We all had websites in the early days. It got bigger so shops wanted their online presence. Then we got banners. First ad agencies started proliferating. People started tweaking their sites to be bette

This is really telling of the current vibe I get from Firefox, and why I feel resistant to support them beyond “It’s a bit more private than default Chrome” Companies gonna company and expand in the wrong direction if they forget were they

This structure sounds completely broken. So the people who work on it answer only to the people who hold the purse, but not the people (the Foundation). Do I get that right?

With all respect, this shows a lot of lack of recent history. It was Merkel and other leaders who tried to get closer to Russia, and Russia was part of the NATO accession program up until 2008, when they bombed an apartment complex. It was

I am sorry to hear that and I do feel that. Ukraine is special because it’s so close to Europe, and many countries on the border feel they could be next (the Baltics, Poland) The inequality in the world is staggering, and Trumps administrat

Just imagine for a second that your country is being invaded. Just imagine your friends and family are being killed by an invasion. That your whole culture is under threat. Just look at what Russia does with places they invaded and cultur

Hi dang, I am unsure if flagged entries are still being shown, but this one seems like slam dunk where one party is claiming something without proof and the other is kind of an expert, should that not be visible to most visitors. Of course

But this isn’t very political. Astronauts are on the ISS longer than expected. Musk is lying and calling out names. Astronaut points out the lies.

It’s a disgrace this is flagged, and more so if this gets buried by the admin. This is a clear cut case really. The astronaut is correct and Musk is on a tirade.

Yeah, this feels more like a 25-35 tops type of software, I wouldn’t think twice. At least the beta is still free now. $50 which is the default price, is too much.

I recently was questioning on why GenZ doesn’t have a proper counterculture (Hippies, Punks, Grunge etc.) and the answers I found is mostly that it happens in fragmented ways online now. But there is no physical place for GenZ to meet up an

And the lack of respect for process breaks trust. Some people might not care about this, but you can’t magically summon trust. It takes years for trust to rebuild. I don’t care which party you are from, you have take into account the other

I would love Gimp to succeed but Gimp is made by coders for coders (as you might expect from a open source program) and not by visual artists for visual artists. I don’t have a lot of hope. For years I have been using Affinity and it’s been

So what are the ways people get exploited, or tricked? Is it a lack of knowledge on part of the people, are scammers just really sophisticated, or just one trick ponies that work at scale? Any ideas on how to stop or how we can protect he p

There is a good book by Romila Thapar, “Early History of India” , for the general overview of early history. You probably want her latest edition, they changed a lot over the years. A bit more classical but thorough is a History of India by

You also have to remember the context in which the “chants” were passed down. It is better to see the Rig Vedas and the Vedas as a ritual manual for doing a successful rite. And the success of the rite was paramount. One wrong action, one

I have been reading a LOT on the topic. The date ranges usually from 1700-1200, mostly skewing towards 1700-1500. Mostly they date it based on stylistic reasons and things mentioned in them, that seem to correlate with those timeframes.

Another word that is often used (you can look it up) is emotional reactivity. It’s when you “overreacting negatively to normal or even benign stimuli due to stress, depleted physiological resources, or emotional disorder.”

That’s also an alarm bell right there. If the answer to the question “Does this article/headline want me to feel anything?” is Yes, than it’s emotional bait. If its “boring” than it’s probably more neutral. Emotional reactivity is the
