Not excusing what Harvard and Zuckerberg did. Joan Donovan is not an advocate for transparency and open discourse, either. Google her name and you will find she is quite alright wi…

It's puzzling. Discord is for real-time chat, not static posting/branching. Completely different in my eyes.

It's buried on the site but they also have a fantastic photogallery: https://photolibrary.usap.gov/#1-1expanded To add: a while back I discovered who this guy did a slice-of-life v…

Does not use tag... Worst. website. ever. ;-) There used to be a famous site in the 90's documenting such things ... found it! http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/begin.htm

Just to add to this (copied from other branch) The challenge the profession currently faces is that a lot of people go into it for the wrong reasons and who are not suited for it. …

Bladerunner 2049. :-)

Hard to tell from the summaries. I hope this addresses ISPs too. Comcast, AT&T seem to operate like a cartel.

On mobile, reddit.com/.compact is an option. It's pretty stripped down but has some solid pros: it's fast, it has evenly sized (height) posts, the comments are easy to view. The po…

This just reminded me: does anyone remember Macromedia? Adobe bought them a looong time ago.

I believe this may have been the grandaddy of demos in Europe: Sodan & Magician 42 - TechTech - Amiga Demo https://youtu.be/mB5CujcTN8A

How funny, I've been on an 80s Amiga Cracktro/Demoscene kick this week and it is an image frequently seen and tweaked in many demos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50WWFEBsgfk htt…

Timeless classics include: - "Proud of..." - "Let's take a moment to celebrate..." - "I believe - "Kudos/shout out to..." - "I'm excited to announce I..."

Perhaps its just my network or industry, but I've considered creating a parody account just to mock the absurdity of what people post. Of course my parody account would have - a ba…

I've muted most people in my network. The amount of self and mutual-mas2batory posting is nauseating.

You bet: It's called Timey 3. I got it off the ios app store. $3 USD! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timey-3-menu-bar-timer/id14211...

Though a bit narrow, I have found desktop (menubar) timers with ticking in the background to help a lot. As a matter of fact, I see mine counting down from the 5 min I allocated to…

The website appears to be down. Having said that... I may not be remembering this correctly, but didn't most mobile phones also have a walkie-talkie feature built-in in the 90's ? …

Not a surprise. Though anecdotal, I've noticed an increase in the use of "blasts", "slams", and "lashes out" in U.S. news titles over the past few years.
