Originally I had grayscale mode on and it reduced my phone usage a ton, but I stopped because it got in the way of photos and camera, things like that. I changed to using the tripl…

I live with my older in laws and it’s not just affecting the younger generation. The older generation will also happily doom scroll whatever slop the algorithm feeds them. Usually …

I hear this all the time but where is the explosion in people learning art, music, increased time with friends and family, etc… instead it’s all the opposite. We’re using all our e…

When I got laid off I got 0. The company I currently work for generally gives 0 severance as well. 5 months is extremely generous

Seriously the anti user algorithm auto play slop is insane. Even Spotify now has endless scroll autoplay videos on their podcast section.

My attention span is greatly reduced for example. I have a much harder time reading physical books than I did as a kid. It should be the opposite as you age

Yeah I agree that there are big negative externalities and this is one. I’m more talking about is someone with insider knowledge but not the ability to influence - is that a bad th…

Unironically yes. Someone bet a mid sized amount and now we all share in that potential insider knowledge. A small scale example is my spouse said that the election odds from her h…

Isn’t one of the points of betting markets is to incentivize this? Now me, as someone who doesn’t have access to insider knowledge, can know that there’s a noticeably increased cha…

For iPhone I use an extension called shorts blocker that does the same thing.

I started reading it and within a few paragraphs thought the same thing. Constant em dashes, bullet point lists, “not x, but y” type phrases.

I’m a user of omarchy and I like it a lot. I wanted a Linux experience that I didn’t have to set up myself, and this one was designed specifically for devs who are used to a macOS …

Also the bad times can be a great time to build good habits. I’ve tried and failed to develop an exercise routine many times, but it wasn’t until I was laid off for 6 months that i…

I’m pretty sure there was a shot of curry in the video

Oh okay, I see. It is wild to see how much things change because amongst my generation your analogy makes sense, but at the time prop 8 was passed by a majority of Californians.

Are you referring to his donation to prop 8? Im a younger dev and a bit out of the loop but how would that be anti-miscegenation? Wasn’t that more related to gay marriage?

I don’t know the finances, but I wouldn’t be surprised if their margins are low enough that their profit comes from advertising and data gathering post sale. So all this bloatware …

Yes that’s correct. We didn’t cover things such as Locke or Hume, Adam smith, etc… Also we didn’t directly cover Marxism or atheist philosophy, my point was that the selected philo…

One example is in high school I had an excellent literature class that also covered a lot of philosophy. It wasn’t until later that I realized that the various philosophies we stud…

I hate that when I see this many em dashes, as well as statements like “it’s not x, it’s y” multiple times, I have to assume it was written or at least heavily edited by AI.

This makes me incredibly concerned for the great salt lake

His stuff is so incredibly high quality. Really stands out in an AI slop filled internet

When I got laid off from my first job, I used the extra time to start going to the gym. Years later the habit has still stuck, and I actually think I was so incredibly lucky to get…

Child rape is morally grey now?

One of the example games that was banned was “daddy twins incest BDSM” and similar titles.
