TW, possible depictions of loving families & depictions of unwanted contact: Nobody should be arguing against any kind of trigger warning in those spaces. If someone is pushing bac…

This is an excellent comment. Thanks for sharing your perspective in such great detail. >Their existence is defined by mental turmoil and acute pessimism. I’ve been trying to find …

If you’re not already, try using nutritious food formulated specifically for pigeons or doves. Seed-heavy diets, even if formulated for pigeons, are very fatty and may not make the…

It’s transphobic in the “hydrophobic” sense. I don’t think he merely pushes back on activists; I find he delegitimizes the movement altogether. Which, disclaimer, I do think anyone…

Fascinating! While I’ve definitely heard “brackets” used in the midwest occasionally, “parenthesis” is the standard term by far.

In my lifetime, “parentheses” has been the canonical way to refer to () in the US. “Brackets” is an umbrella term that can describe one or all of (), {}, and []. If you’re in a con…

It looks like you can specify the value type per property, for those cases where it matters.

> No competition at all. > Owner is so far ahead of the competition, impossible for anyone to catch up. :)

I think the 1.0 magnitude is there as a placeholder. The advisories say to ignore it: >Please disregard earthquake parameters

You're living in the shadow of someone else's expectations! Of course you're going to feel this way -- You don't deserve that, and emotions are going to ensue. That is the human in…

Not a great example. This bug was in one of the weekly snapshot releases, which regularly and knowingly have some unplayable element to them.

Liquid items are funny in the game. When you look at an item listing and you see something like “Mead”, that is truly all the item is —- it isn’t a cup of mead, it’s just a vague a…

The FDIC-insured nonsense alone perplexes me. There is no web to spin here that favors them. Did they really think they could get away with this? Or did they have a severe cascade …

The drama is pretty ridiculous sometimes, it’s true :) This aspect isn’t unique to Depop however. Other buying and selling platforms that allow negotiation are full of people tryin…

Anecdotally, this platform gives liquidity to your otherwise unsellable clothes, and that is the big appeal. If you have a dress you’ll no longer wear, you have a few online platfo…

My partner is a top seller on Depop. We send and receive packages pretty much every day, it’s been great for them during the pandemic. Depop has done a great job fostering a more h…

>isn't that a result of your relationship with your isp? Any ISP is allowed to sniff and manipulate packets, so this isn't just about my ISP -- it's the server's ISP as well as any…

Dodged a bullet for now. I’m worried this is their extend-embrace stage, and the extinguish is yet to come. I truly hate to be pessimistic, and I’m not trying to start a flame war.…

People also expect their postcards to arrive untampered. ISPs, Comcast in particular, inject ad-loading javascript into HTTP pages. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/why-…

Acknowledging the damage inflicted by an abusive past partner. I'm able to say "this is something that happened to me" and address it as such -- It isn't a thing I push to the back…

I get the impression that the job market is very saturated right now. I'm on a private slack group for a tech recruiter company; it's well-discussed that the platform is seeing les…

It is far more unpredictable to litigate based on intent and public perception. If an app displays a phone number but doesn’t say it belongs to the restaurant, is that making the c…
