Eh… it depends on what you think is good and bad. It’s not clear to me that surveillance capitalism will be a long term good. Gadgets and social media are fun, but digital feudalism will be (is?) a lot less fun and rewarding.

They do, but then this is an annual reconciliation in case you had other income, or things changed, etc.

This is amazing. Not to be overly cynical, but I suspect this must be related to the global labor shortage. They must be happy to let people do their own labor whenever possible now, if the difference is providing bad service vs letting peo

How does this fall under the definition of satire? “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.”

Instead of being constructive and contributing positively to humanity, ddevault takes his talents and attempts to play scorched earth at every turn in the road. There are constructive solutions to this problem. The solutions do not enta

This is great, especially since the none checkbox can probably be added with minimal overhead on the frontend and no changes to the backend. Great research and post. Would have never occurred to me but makes total sense.

It’s crazy. My guess is they’re trying to tap into the FOMO vibe du jour with all the NFT insanity (“drops” for example) but they don’t even know or understand their own userbase. It’s really, really weird and unsettling.

People can't handle change. It's pretty sad. I'm not saying we need change, or that FF should be investing in changing the UI (I really think the colorways are just a terrible use of resources), but I think all the UI updates

The open source developer of amfora is about as far as you can get from a corporation, though. And behind every cloudflare reverse proxy connection is a human. Blocking them for nothing other than their choice of Internet route stands antit

SourceHut and its founder are the promulgators or a never ended stream of strong opinions and principled edicts that do little but alienate people. Drew’s solution to every problem is blocking and blackholing [0] which makes him seem weak

That's right, amen. Too many people on this planet to deal with people you already know. Why bother going back when you can move forward. Burn all the bridges.

There is a Russian (Eastern European? Slavic?) superstition against kill spiders. You can kill insects all day, but you don’t kill spiders. You just leave them be.

Rejecting someone three times from something is pretty brutal. How bad could this candidate have been? Is Codeacademy like the Rhodes Scholarship or something? One of my luckiest breaks was when a college that rejected me the first time ar

Everyone's experience is different. My conclusion has been that I didn't learn anything from gaming as a child. I wish my parents had done a better job (they did try) steering me from gaming into pursuits I belive (emphasis on I
