This has driven me so crazy it’s about to push me off Google maps. If I’m driving upstate, I want to choose a nice straightforward highway route and stay on it. No, I don’t care if…

I have not used it yet, but this project looks interesting to me: https://docs.searxng.org/

The word “obnoxious” does not carry the connotation of smug superiority that “midwit” does.

I didn't see the appeal of bespoke PR stacking tools when it was the headline feature of Graphite, and I still don't see it now. Stacking PRs is useful, but I haven't encountered i…

What's the point of Dark mode on an eink screen?

Saying you value “ideas and progress” is an empty platitude. What ideas? Progress towards what?

> On one hand I want to stay YIMBY here As far as I'm aware, the YIMBY "movement", or whatever you want to call it, is pretty squarely about housing development. It's not about say…

Wow, I could not disagree with this more. What’s valuable about a novel is the social relationships it fosters, both in relation to the author, and also all the others that have re…

If you are leasing a car they would certainly also require you to obtain insurance as part of your lease agreement. Same deal with an apartment.

Should car insurance be included in the price of a car? You have the freedom to purchase insurance from whoever.

Well, some of those examples are instances of not being able to prioritize a good thing. That can be due to an unethical decision, but can also be due to needing to prioritize othe…

A requirement to obtain renter’s insurance is not an example of the type of fees this legislation is targeting.

I don’t know what standards you are referring to, but yea I would call it flagrantly unethical for sure.

Wait, someone actually brought N64 Dinosaur Planet to life? I gotta check this out...

That’s a bit of a dramatic way to describe opening a window.

Still, reuse > recycling

> but every time we do that we also take from the artist No, every time we do that, we do not give to the artist. But not giving is not the same as taking.

Ew

Haha I was obviously being a bit tongue-in-cheek, and it’s not true every time, but yes I do generally appreciate the wacky convos with cabbies when I land, it feels like a warm we…
