    Really enjoyed this read, but also couldn't help but feel sorry for the author still trapped in the labyrinth. "Just one more CMS and I'll be free..." The jewel in the post is the …

    It's a group that took statistics from Wikipedia articles of famous people to then run the headline "rock and rollers twice as likely to divorce." That headline is misleading. They…

    Rather than swallow the headline, ask yourself what a church-aligned think tank has to gain out of smearing online dating in the press? Some of their other research: "Rock and roll…

    What content blockers do people use alongside Safari on iOS? I've been trying Firefox Focus but it's barebones, ad-centric, and doing nothing for cookie popups. Now with these Goog…

    I also got a chuckle because the author is a professional AWS architect and still couldn't avoid accidental charges. Well, architect isn't salesman! Thankfully the mistake was corr…

    This is my thought too. We are reading articles like this at the onset of a new law because it plays well to crowds who want to have Online Opinions about government oversight. If …

    Kitchenaid, Cuisinart, these are the kinds of brands I'm talking about. They had their moment last century but the brand has been transferred to a new owner, or they've switched to…

    I just don't see it. My pens and my matchsticks work fine. My gloves are still gloves five winters later. Potato peeler, peels potatoes. I think the author doesn't understand that …

    Don't make your goal to be accurate state across the internet. Game making is all about lies, cheats, steals, and fudge. In this situation you can stream movement waypoints from re…

    The Leftovers is indeed aware of the show formula I'm critiquing, it's even in the theme song: "guess I'll just, let the mystery be." This is Lindelof indoctrinating the viewer to …

    I avoid anything by Abrams or Lindelof at this point because they are emblematic of this writing formula. You can see it in Lindelof's The Leftovers, Abrams' Star Wars, and of cour…

    That's not how Microsoft historically operates. Programs I wrote 20 years ago still work on Windows using ancient apis that they carry, because they care about backwards support. W…

    The thread is about removing the label, not the whole search box. Which is a sort of silly thing to complain about, but Windows 11 has a lot of taskbar feature regressions. You can…

    CSIS has published data on the rise of domestic terrorism. [1] NYT has published data about the growth of CSAM due to tech companies. [2] Would you engage with the point of my comm…

    I've always thought that TiVo was way ahead of its time. The company is still alive but it feels weird to talk about it in present tense when we've got Roku, Chromecast, Firestick,…

    Social media products have been critical to the exponential growth of domestic terrorism and CSAM. So I definitely want the FBI being proactive on these platforms and to have a muc…

    The post is about the economics of eSports. One of the big revenue sources is advertisers. The viewership numbers are inflated with low value incentived users so that the gaming co…

    eSport viewership numbers are untrustworthy because the games incentivize players to tune in with special in game rewards. Also for reference the last Superbowl was watched by 100M…

    The extension would need both the all_urls and webRequest permissions to do this, since you can only spy on requests to origins your extension has a host permission for. The review…

    I think you missed the point of my comment. I don't believe the author's premise at all, that population will decline. The population is still growing as it always has. Why would i…

    Kid-having emerges. This (western biased) article is blaming the victim. An entire generation bled dry by student loans for useless degrees, unable to buy homes that their elders v…
