i'm not confident they know where i am at all. i routinely get ads on social media for places (super random US states, cities, etc.) nowhere near where i live (SF Bay Area).

there are plenty of positive things that can come from using a platform like Instagram.

Discord for sure has way more features and use than IRC. On the other hand, IRC lets me /ignore a user and my client renders channels without ever showing a hint of that user's existence. Meanwhile, in Discord both ignoring and bl

you missed the fact that most people either aren't signaling or do it right as they're already cutting in. that's hardly safe when it's already tight with a safety buffer as it is. provided they use a signal as required

Is this something you could add as a hot fix yourself and submit a PR for?

Today was the second time in a year I went into one and my crotch got flagged because of my pants zipper. nothing in my pockets. no belt. nothing hidden. etc. I was then subjected to full pat down and a shoe chemical test as a cherry on top

There was a tool I used some time ago that required typing in a word or phrase to acknowledge that you know it's doing the run for real. Pros and cons to each but I did like that because it was much more difficult to fat finger or abse

my phone is always on silent. i've drastically reduced what apps can send notifications over the years. new apps don't get notification permissions unless i know what i'm going to get.

Unrelated to airtags but last year a couple wheels were stolen off my brand new car. My city in California falls under county sheriff jurisdiction and they actually assigned a detective to the case. Sadly even once he got the subpoena and o

The way Youtube (and I've started to notice in other platforms) does recommendations, for every 5+ that are nonsense, I'll get one I like. Youtube will then start showing me more of that video's channel content and similar ch

I've been on teams that tried various methods of estimating and the issue I always encounter is that everyone estimates work differently, but usually people will side with the person with the most context. For instance someone says a t

Eh, I've definitely had issues where Claude can no longer easily do what it's previously done. That's with constant documenting things in appropriate markdown files well and resetting context here and there to keep confusion

I probably didn't market it enough but I specifically made an iOS game last year to be premium, $2.99, as a one time purchase to try and get around the obsession with subscription and freemium/ad-supported models but pretty much d

Now I'm wondering if I should've accepted an interview with them. For a while Brex was spamming me with recruiter emails like no other company had done before it.

Clean? I took a waymo in SF a few weeks ago that smelled extremely strongly of cologne or perfume and I almost couldn't breathe. I've also been in one with like hair and stuff on the seats and door. It's not like humans don&#

I feel like the idea social media prevents socializing in real life is a bit of a straw man. I've made many friends over the years through platforms like Instagram, some in countries I don't even live in, and we've met many t

I've done similar while debugging an iOS app I've been working on this past year. Occasionally it needs some poking and prodding but not to a substantial degree. I also was able to use it to generate SVG files based on in-app desi

Was just about to make the same point. Even cash could be tricky if you got it from a bank because you'd be using your debit card and obviously the bank knows all your info.

honestly the issue i hate the most is how bad the keyboard has gotten over the past 3-5 years/major iOS releases. on top of the bug people mention a lot where types are miss-pressed, there's a problem i get where if iOS considers
