Yeah, I really do think "edutainment" is the correct classification for this type of content. A lot of tech influencers have figured out the formula for success on YouTube. In order to hit the sweet spot, the content has to be a m

The point is, you can replace "Cursor" with "hot new dev toy" and it's exactly how his channel functions.

Yeah, I dig what Casey is doing. Subscribe to him instead of these other clowns. I like how his stuff isn't glossy or overproduced—he just gets down to the content.

There's no doubt the Primeagen has a popular channel (459K subs at last count), but his videos are super annoying to me. Many of them are just him reading a blog post and adding some light clowning to it. To me it feels like a waste of

Some general feedback after trying it briefly a few minutes ago: I suppose I'm slightly more geographically aware than average, but certainly by no means that good at geoguesser type games in the past. Even so, it felt way too easy for

I don't make any claims as to the level of his involvement, but the bad stuff happened both before and after his departure. Many of the moderation decisions discussed in the Twitter Files took place while he was still CEO.

I don't use Lobste.rs anymore because the owner irrationally blocked the browser I'm using, and I refuse to switch to a different browser just to read Lobste.rs. The owner seems like he has some issues to say the least.

That the CISA works with the EIP isn't Kool-Aid, it's a fact, no matter how much it upsets the apple cart of established big media narratives. You know what else isn't "Kool-Aid"? The FBI was having monthly and even

As an owner of an Amiga 500, I remember watching the 600 flop even though I was mildly interested in upgrading, but he's right that this was the point where a lot of users like me threw in the towel and said "Right, I'm just

There was this open protocol (that still exists!) called IRC. Also: Usenet and email.

Sorry not sorry, but that was no "nothingburger." The fact of the matter was that Twitter under Jack Dorsey had become completely bloated and abusive. You had people working there whose only job was to do things like manipulate pi

The only time I use Safari is when the MBP is unplugged because it improves the battery life. I have the AdBlock extension but I'm looking for something better.

In Safari, how is AdGuard better than AdBlock?

Yep, I absolutely will not play these stupid games with retailers. If you want my business, don't expose me to malware.

I don't doubt your claim. The only thing I'm maintaining here is that Apple is quite popular in many countries outside the US. Go to Australia and NZ and notice how many people have iPhones.

Is 850W really "overkill"? I don't know. I suppose it depends on how likely it is you will expand and add devices.

As someone who was very active on IRC back in the day and is now forced to use Discord (because that's where certain communities are now), from a design and user perspective Discord is so much worse. It's like looking at something
