Most nerds became collateral damage from society's attempts to contain something much darker: something we mostly forgot even existed, and only fought through outdated traditions. …

This is true, but there's an extra nuance: mogging isn't just dominance, but effortless dominance (or at least seemingly effortless). Incels use this to justify their aversion to p…

Excessive ChatGPT usage is cringe, yes, but I feel like this may be taking things just a little on the far side.

Yeah, after the appropriate layers of VPN/Incognito/Tor/muted phone/etc I braved the link, and it turns out it's actually real, but that is still not a hostname I want connected to…

Yes, we already know techbros are trying to normalize workaholism within the general populace.

Humanity is having to learn all over again that you cannot expect good results from people who do not understand the work that they are doing. But instead of expecting these things…

No.

How do you know that they do? How would you know if they didn't?

In this case I'd say it's more like 99/1, only even more so, to the point where using numbers doesn't even make sense. Spies are way more trouble than they're worth, except when th…

Mostly the same places they always did. Inertia is strong like that. Most of them miss a simpler time, just like you do, but hey, so it goes.

This is true as far as it goes, and yet, there are people in this world who will not grow up and function except in the face of overwhelming social pressure. They will not be taugh…

True, but honestly, with so many people clearly after him, I'm not sure we can assume any of them got him. His psyche had clearly been cracking for many weeks now: I got as much sa…

What a waste. May none mourn this creature's passing, but his particular case represented too many valuable opportunities for him to be allowed to die before trial. Whoever allowed…

When it comes down to it, nothing ever entitles you to face time. You put stuff out and hope for the best, but it's always a risk. Nothing is guaranteed.

Give the TLD to an NGO trust fund benefiting the peoples of the Amazon river basin, funded by a 99-year lease on the TLD paid by Amazon. Any problems with this arrangement?

Welp, that explains it. I stand corrected. Thanks.

I didn't propose replacing the GPIO, or the camera port, or the other display port. I'm talking specifically about the other ports around the sides of the device, which are already…

If a Pi is capable of this already, why not replace the Ethernet, charging, micro-HDMI, and USB ports with a boatload of type-C Thunderbolt ports (plus support for the HDMI 1.4 alt…

This makes sense to a certain degree, but "just ignoring it" only goes so far: even seeing it is corrosive to a certain extent, and by the time you've even registered it enough to …

I really wish I could stop seeing this everywhere I went. I get that there are people who need this kind of advice, but for someone like me, this advice is poison. For everyone who…

Not too shabby. - Performance is great. I'm already using it pretty much everywhere. - Ad blocking is about to become Firefox's killer app, and it was a major PR mistake to release…

To some extent that's a matter of perspective and context. Keeping a Great Dane or even a Border Collie in a small apartment is a very different thing from keeping a Chihuahua in o…

Good luck to them, assuming they stick to their principles. But IIRC, experiments with paid browsers have typically not ended well. What makes them think they can pull it off?

As long as all of the source is available under FOSS licenses, yes. Free as in speech, not free as in beer, remember? Question is, will Mozilla actually stick to that? What the pai…
