Why would you want to do business with someone who prefers your content being used and monetized without your consent?

I don't subscribe to his belief system, but logically if you enjoyed life, why wouldn't you want to prolong it?

Meditations isn't good, and the advice that people should read it before reading Discourses (Epictetus) is often what creates a misleading view on stoicism as they never get to Dis…

Reminds me of those tedious recipe blogs that require so much scrolling, but even worse since there's no easy print on X.

You've made the experience more tedious to create now. If we adhere to the article's advice, you work from the novice upwards. You create more and more freedom as you go up, you al…

Most operating systems have a lot of really useful shortcuts that most people don't use despite it potentially making their lives 10x easier like Ctrl/Cmd+C. Swipe to undo, holding…

Definitely in agreement, also a big proponent of gradually increasing taxes to incentivize certain spending to speed up that process. They're not popular but very effective. The go…

>And what exactly is the solution there? For most Americans a car is literally their ONLY option for transport. The administration has already earmarked substantial amounts for var…

Nobody wants to sacrifice anything, and yet that's exactly what is needed from humanity. Can't even change the small things, as we see through outrage over plastic straws still, ne…

On one hand, the rule is good, on the other a loss for everyone else who enjoys influential figures demonstrating how petty and childish they are behind the layers of image craftin…

They can keep padding their resume if it means little fixes actually happen. Even typos and little translations, they affect the general reputability of the software. Sounds like a…

Closed doesn't mean resolved, it means closed. Closing issues just shifts them to another tab, doesn't remove them entirely. What you propose, a filter to hide these, is exactly wh…

They can upgrade hardware to bleeding edge faster than consumers can get their hands on remotely comparable products. Most consumers also don't upgrade every year to stay on bleedi…

This has very little to do with animations, as most OS use of complex animations tends to be handled very effectively (ie mission control on Mac or the task view on Windows 11). Th…

It's a monumental case, but hard to get people to care without intense clickbait and there hasn't been much that can be used as clickbait.

They still wouldn't be a monopoly engine-wise, even excluding Unity you have Godot and O3DE as popular open source options. Ignoring that a lot of studios are now sharing internal …

USB C isn't legislated that strictly, it provides a sane baseline, exactly like USB 2 was. Easiest way for you to understand it is C is an official baseline, 2.0 was an unofficial …

Despite USB 2 being universal once upon a time, it didn't stop tech improvements at all.

Epic will never have a monopoly as long as Steam exists. They aren't complete fools here, they realize this but are aware that even having a slice of that massive pie is enough to …

It's not just graphics, it's everything. Look at Frostbite for example from EA. While a good shooter engine, they had to make significant changes over the years to adapt the engine…

You would be right, they have informally stated if developers switch to ironSource/Unity Ads, they would have their runtime fee slashed.

Likely depends on the scale of the company. The likes of Google (I know they aren't specifically on the line for this law anyways) will have more than enough resources to ensure yo…

A lot of this stuff is super easy in webtech, no idea why it gives you heartburn, maybe you're just more used to the native toolkits (or Swift in general)?

This is a super fascinating comment, because why wouldn't you just want better advertising regulations across the board instead of trying to justify one form while proclaiming the …

For now. The same thing that happened to GoodReads will also happen to Letterboxd. Nobody wants to pay for a service like that to stay true to form in the long term.
