    I’m not sure what the solution is here. Personally, in-person college is a non-starter for a number of health reasons. Online classes was a huge boon to people like me, I never wou…

    Also how is gray a male color? If anything I’d say gray is non-binary.

    I wonder what percentage of that $167M will go to the ~1400 victims of this hack (that we know about)

    The risk isn’t that Signal itself will add AI features, it’s more that it will be built-in to your OS that’s running Signal (Apple Intelligence, Windows Recall, etc). These types w…

    Idk why you’d want to get used to it. I’m very lucky to have a job that doesn’t mandate AI use, and as far as I can tell I haven’t been hit by any work AI emails. My social media b…

    In what way is knowing the full legal name of a developer relevant to end users? I work in the App Store analytics space and even I have never once thought “I wonder what the full …

    “People on the left think this is good because it makes giving social services easier” Source? I’d like to meet a single person that feels this way. People on the left in my experi…

    Since when has either party ever cut military spending? I wish Dems were as cool as you say.

    Probably a fine article, but I got halfway through and still had no idea what Gumroad is, or what the “creator economy” is aside from people online making money… somehow

    I know it’s not common but I’ve kept a client-isolated open wifi hotspot on my property for a long time. You never know when someone might be in the neighborhood and need a connect…

    Idk, was diagnosed very young and haven’t seen anyone professionally about it as an adult. Tbh I didn’t know there were different subtypes until your comment. I struggled a lot wit…

    I’m sure this works for some people. Personally I loathe social interaction of any kind, and mixing that with engineering gets me to my mental/emotional limits much faster. On my o…

    It’s free unless you’re rolling in traffic, it’s extremely easy to setup, and CF can handle pretty much all of your infra with tools way better than AWS. Also you can buy a cheaper…

    Good article, although it stresses the need to have trusted friends to protest with but doesn’t explain how to find, make, keep these friends. To be fair, I’ve been trying to figur…

    Non-tesla infra has gotten a lot better over the past couple years, at least according to this one YouTube EV road trip I watched recently: https://youtu.be/ouPiwt5hxXQ

    I would happily pay a reasonable monthly subscription to this site or similar. No problem paying for a service that treats users with respect. Also using this site has taught me al…

    Hadn’t thought about that, you make a good point. However in that case the author didn’t feel it necessary to explicitly say the image is not AI generated, which means they likely …

    Not OP, but it’s extremely easy to tell if an article uses AI images. Are there vague images padding the article for SEO purposes? If so, is there attribution to an artist? If they…

    There’s many good reasons, but for me it’s that I don’t want companies profiting off of my posts that have no intention of profit sharing. When I make a Youtube video and companies…

    I’ve always wondered why heat pumps don’t also have a water line attached. We water cool servers because water is a much better conductor than air, and cold tap is usually colder t…
