This strikes me more as an art project than a commercial endeavour. It can obviously be both. I've worked with a friend on a similar boutique concept, and one of the driving factor…

This was a very significant talking point through most of covid, actually. Granted, there is an orders-of-magnitude disparity between office buildings and data centers regarding bo…

> YOU have become their product LOL behind the curve, and completely missing the point.

I'm only ~5 minutes into that first video and every single thing she has said so far rings so stupid true that its almost painful hearing it said so bluntly. Making things takes a …

Well put; the scope of usefulness of surveilance data lies well beyond what is in that data itself, but how it relates to other data. You don't necessarily need to decrypt data to …

Regardless of the computational needs to facilitate mass surveilance, there are inescapable storage needs precipitated by surveilance. Governments want to retain data because its v…

The perception of what a polymath is is changing incredibly fast, as both the floor and ceiling for being passable or outstanding in any field is rising exponentially. For the last…

The reason that you bought your watch and the reason that other people buy these hand crafted mechanical watches are very, very different. Once upon a time, utility used to be what…

Representation under a union is voluntary, and if an employee doesn't wish to be represented by that union, they may quit. I'm sure there are some other means of avoiding union rep…

Any company is free to hire whoever it cares at its own discretion, and in most (49/50) US states fire them without cause; perhaps due diligence is required of companies that are u…

The rising tide lifts all boats. Denying people agency and power in their negotiation by claiming they are "not as good as someone else" is antithetical to the struggle of labor - …

Arguably, "exceptional" products are not ones that can vanish on a whim, like a great, great many of Google products have. Or they actually compete with other products in the same …

>One of my sites is image heavy and serves 10 TB of traffic per month I can't imagine this kind of traffic without acting as a CDN, advertising broker, pornographer, or part of a m…

Only tangentially related, but I've found myself down a rabbit hole with some ancient BigKeys keyboards (designed/manufactured by Greystone Digital), and a small handful of them ha…

lobste.rs has a pretty decent system with a global invite tree, where users can provide access for other people. it comes with the benefit of creating an association graph of accou…

I was just about to say that my question in regards to this was "what are web browsers doing about it?"

Hypothetically, preemptive market recapture? This could theoretically make foss OSs non-kosher for any suitably large market (websites, games, chat platforms, etc), and serve to fo…

If I counted things correctly, 53,836. I wanted to hook into the THREE object and explore the scene, but I wasn't able to figure out how to bring it back into scope after it's been…

That first photo looks so much like a watercolor that it's uncanny. Glass is such a cool material.

Whats to stop malicious actors (bad extensions, compromised cdn, etc.) from painting over the qr code or injecting their own? This is so incredibly terrible.

> That psychological environment is not conducive to art and fun. It sucks. I think that two significant social conditions that very strongly affect how people socialize online now…

Dojo is such an obvious thing, but its such an obvious thing that there are dozens of software trying to call themselves that.

As much as I and (probably) most other consumers agree with you, I don't think the car insurance industry does. Very similarly to how governments being buyers of data from adtech c…

At this point, I think I would prefer to carry a dumb flip phone for SMS and phone calls, and a smartphone-shaped generic touchscreen linux computer for everything else. It's becom…

The APIs in question are client-side iOS and Android APIs. Most of these apps are just WebViews wrapped in spyware, which is the point. It doesn't matter that most of the content i…
