Ok while superficially great news but the supreme cynic in me is starting to think: what if the RIAA et al go to ISPs and saying they will pay them to continue monitoring this stuf…

it doesn't mean the local tech workers will be replaced. You're right because that totally didn't happen to varying degrees in various industries in the US...

It's not just newer unsustainable companies. There are plenty of businesses that have been around for decades that are now engaging in these enshittifying practices (for dearth of …

Mobile-first design. Get used to it, we haven't even started to see the worst of it

The fact that this has a promotional image from someone using one of those One Laptop per Child laptops (which was an abject failure) just says to me this is another misguided "whi…

This is 100% a political issue. Instead of introducing privacy-violating software, we could instead institute massive policing campaigns to curb speeding. But that would require ac…

How is this different to driving around with a mobile phone on? Are you serious? I can choose to leave my mobile phone home if I want to. I can't do that with my car.

Read about this singles dating event in Russia where they took cotton swabs swiped underneath each person's armpits and put them into little glass jars. Everyone then went around s…

their purpose is not to start artistic movements or liberally think for themselves and no one is claiming it is. your "spark of ingenuity" is not lacking because of some issue or l…

does it really matter if it can be described as cognition or not? Yes...it does. "AI" aka modern flavor LLMs as we understand them today are just doing certain things thats humans …

Yeah I see this kind of paternalistic condescending style of writing in many left-leaning circles. It sounds like it's geared for children but no they're actually writing for adult…

Jason Fung is probably the world's leading research expert on obesity. If you want videos to watch on it, it starts and ends with this guy. He has done a ton of lectures and blogpo…

I remember when presidents used to divest themselves of their private holdings. That went out the window in 2017

All bullshit. Apple loves to make a big stand on privacy but quietly folds just like the rest of them. Remember that big stink they rose over the FBI needing access to an encrypted…

Chaotic neutral take: they're Ruby devs that have a vested interest in gatekeeping newcomers from the language so they have better job security

Yup, we need to start bringing back the idea of the village on the Internet. There is no good reason why I need to know what someone on the other side of the globe thinks about stu…

I hope Mozilla realizes (and still cares) that they have a huge opportunity here to be the power-browser where you can get awesome extensions Don't worry, they won't. They have mor…

It's not the future we need but it's the one we deserve. This place is heavily complicit in the popularity of AI. It creams its pants any time a new LLM is announced.

Chamberlain all over again...

What is wrong about raising chickens in your own backyard and giving them a full eventful life?

30+ years ago, Christian thought was the dominant force in society. You wanted to piss off your elders and society? Say something bad about Christianity (I should know, I was there…

I don't see any kind of schism/balkanization in our future. The federal government has its tentacles in all states and the states in turn rely heavily on it for big parts of their …

but did you just equate autism and being far left No, more so it's at the root of crippling all online discussions.

Great post. The increasingly insane purity tests that the far left levy upon others they deign as less woke (in the original sense of the word) has gotten completely out of hand. E…

Barring some revolutionary new material where we can get EM waves to travel orders of magnitude faster through it over current stuff, I don't think we're ever getting around the la…
