Imagine taking your favorite fractal <formula here> and picking a random point in one of its non-trivial regions, trying to explain what happens there. Would you be better satisfied by <formula> or by specific step by step calcu

Sometimes it’s hard to discern the line between judging and sharing a personal opinion, because even an opinion may hurt.

That’s very nice, but why on fucking earth doesn’t tiktok make “longs” already!!! Its algorithm may be wonderful and useful but I don’t want short content in a watch-it-all feed.

I know you’re joking, but this is not true. There’s something short and stupid for everyone, but not something interesting for everyone at all. Last couple years I spent my media time watching trackmania and noita for the most part. These a

This definitely wins by numbers - my local anime site features chinese 3d shows too and there’s a lot of them. But the viewership isn’t that good still, judging by the comments and voting.

It’s a silly world where people who never worked send people who only worked as mobsters to take money from people who work for a living. Then the first two groups share that money in 999999:1 proportion. They call it “taxation”. It has ups

I make interfaces sometimes and don’t like using “frameworks”. But if I don’t use one, all sorts of issues start to emerge. V-scrolls in single line inputs, my hbox/vboxes start fighting over margins when nested, labels don’t baseline

This is not the right answer because people have different preferences, both physiological and aesthetic and contextual. The right answer is for browsers to provide knobs for a user that would control relative brightness, contrast, saturati

I tried to change browser defaults before, but that made some sites look strange because developer’s assumptions about defaults were merged with the design. Today when I want to change the font, I just add a per-site StyleBot rule.

That is my question, essentially. Are cases like this (a year of repeating illusion impenetrable by relatives) a naive mistake or an undiagnosed cognitive disorder? Shouldn't people like her be at least partially taken care of? My budd

Yeah I’m really happy I managed to migrate at all, ignoring these non-fatal losses. It was not the first time I tried. Sadly Vivaldi also slowly breaks things, although I guess I’ll remember my words at the next Firefox “refresh”.

I guess it’s not the same as Watch Later. I think I remember “add to queue” button right on videos, that was it probably. I’m still using Watch Later, but for long videos I have no time for.

We’re shifting targets here. The fact is, it doesn’t happen in Chrome for “magical” reasons, according to a comment few levels up. And regular non-tech users won’t debug this with click to play or whatever. We expect that YT does it absolut

Exactly. It’s amazing that ads-ers send bits regardless and expect them to be consumed as is, as if it was some fundamental law of nature to do so. Simply don’t send, wink . That wink makes them feel uneasy because it breaks that wonderful

And rather than blocking me access, like in “please pay to watch it”, they squiggle and babble incomprehensibly. Note that I’m not freeloading Nebula etc. Your analogy was shallow from the start. Continuing it makes little sense.

The solution is how we solve it. There’s a technical end to every demand, and at the end of the day regulation only can do so much for both sides. The reality sorts everything else. The solution you mentioned is valid too. But you cannot ig
