For software, the subscription model makes sense to me. It costs money to develop a working product, then it costs money to maintain it, and, in the case of cloud-hosted software, it costs money to serve it. The subscription model benefits

Here's a quote by a person: > And make no mistake: irony tyrannizes us. The reason why our pervasive cultural irony is at once so powerful and so unsatisfying is that an ironist is impossible to pin down. All irony is a variation on

My perspective is that "nobody wants to work anymore" is another way of saying "I want workers but I do not want to pay the market wage." Unfortunately for the workers, they tend to get blamed for the issues related to w

I'm surprised C++ is still prominent. I thought Rust would have taken its place by now.

YouTube has a culture: clickbait, mean comments, and ignoring users.

Though a bit extreme, the individual components are definitely there across various webpages. Certainly it is annoying. The fact that we can control whether or not we see them is somewhat remarkable, considering conditions under the dominan

I resent news media relying heavily on clicks. Simultaneously, I understand that news organizations must generate profit somehow, and that many people are unwilling to pay for news. The problem, as I see it: I pay for a news subscription. N

I realized I don’t like to program practical things. Also, everything useful has been made. What else do we need to program? Most of our problems now stem not from lack of tech but from a lack of social will.

As a relatively young person, we will be fine--changed subjectively, sure. In the vein of Heidegger: Human + TikTok = TikTokHuman. As we learned from Prohibition, artificially restricting consumer freedom never works. The market does not an

The fact is that TikTok is currently superior to other apps in terms of user engagement. As a consumer, I understand that a business simply exists to generate profit, and while I can and do benefit from this pursuit of profit, our relations

I welcome this trend, since it gives workers more leverage to negotiate higher wages. The whole reason serfdom transitioned to capitalism was a massive reduction of workers due to the Black Plague.

Seems neat, but is there any research to suggest that this works? I'm skeptical because I'm given a claim, "This will help you read faster", and then asked to test the claim, which primes me to think I am reading faste

I think most software has stagnated because we have hit a wall in terms of user interface until AR/VR/Brain interface improves. I have a few assorted goalposts: * Where are the AR glasses? Google dropped the ball. * I need to be a

I will be editing this on an on-going basis. To my understanding: 1. Russia declared two regions of a whole country--Ukraine--sovereign. 2. Russia is moving its troops into those regions on the premise that the citizens of these Ukraine reg

Torrents are hard, too. To avoid getting sued one needs to pay a VPN subscription (Paying a business for a service, kind of ironic for a pirate). And even then, people have been caught because they use identifying information to sign up for
