You probably get/got reactions to that because it apparently mirrors the corporate line that precedes mandated RTO, whether or not there is a frog-boiling hybrid prelude. Most peop…

Accepting the 99% figure, 1% is not a particularly small number. That's about 3.5 million people in the US alone. And it becomes much greater when you consider anyone who cares abo…

Yes, it has. Not "tuning out" the news has helped me mitigate significant problems for me personally, which a delay of a couple days would have meant it was too late. I think your …

You put it there yourself. The community can't be there to maximize engagement.

As retirees. One explanation could be the lack of free time and resources over the course of their life prevented them from developing themselves enough to have something to do. A …

Well, I definitely never saw nearly as many emdashes a few years ago. I didn't even realize it wasn't just a typeface quirk as I'd used hyphens a lot. I don't even know how to type…

A 3-4 second cloudflare wait seems good to me at this point. I had to just block any cloudflare requests because some pages that used it would just rev up a cpu core indefinitely a…

Nah, I don't especially like the logo myself when I come across those sites, but I do like that "brand" people who want to make money off it and not pay dislike it even more.

Many of the people in the US behind attempts to ban "pornography" also classify anything involving LGBT people, including children, as pornographic. It's about the specific definit…

Then break them up or shut them down. They can't just continue to knowingly and intentionally induce addiction and engagement for profit and then shrug their shoulders and say "we'…

And hundreds of different websites are unusable or borderline so. This is one of the negative effects of JS, but at this point the JS of those times isn't even the worst, because y…

Why do you think people refused to enable javascript?

No, you're not. A lot of the web is becoming increasingly unusable for me because of things like this.

It looks like it. There are four images that pop up and start animating numbers, and those aren't visible in the built in reader. I use Tranquility Reader which ime tends to do a b…

I'm that kind of person, but my opposition to the "digital key" things like this is mainly about them being out of my control and not having the ability to opt out of user-hostile …

Nobody? I do, and I've seen plenty others.

Why not use a custom ROM and install what you want?

I didn't say it so clearly but that's what I meant when I said they fill multiple columns. The columns themselves are narrow but there are many of them. I wouldn't mind the narrow …

There is. As for their investments, I don't know: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/about/our-history/

You pay for private health insurance for everyone covered. Usually this is either just for yourself, for yourself and a spouse, or for yourself and a spouse and children. Each cost…

The internet has become so imbalanced in favor of what the website owner wants to run on my machine. I've still not found a reliable way of modifying user-hostile React pages. I'm …

I'm sure there's something going back to newspapers on this (though they would of course, fill multiple columns), but I can't help but suspect a lot of these UX studies are just pr…

If you can understand that some behavior is toxic and should be banned, then you should understand the people behind "cancel culture." Alternatively, if you see "cancelling" "cance…
