This kinda reminds me a bit of Retool, a SaaS tool I've used quite extensively since a coworker used it to build analytics and customer service data dashboards. It's great, but the…

Roku became adware and most of my friends/family switched to AppleTV

Slashdot was somewhere between a well curated tech subreddit and Hacker News. It had its own in-jokes like: This is finally "the year of the Linux Desktop" and Jonathan "CowboyNeal…

Thanks for posting this. He definitely made a big impact on the community and very relevant.

The iPod has less space than a Nomad. Lame.

I wouldn’t say that. JetBrains is incredibly bloated and has significantly less community support. I’ll agree on Teams being crap though, mostly for how dumb it is that they’ve rew…

the military gets what it wants in DC, and the pilots were too comfortable and on different radio systems (helo can’t hear airplanes and vice versa, air traffic control is their in…

What’s your method? Having had some former coworkers that ended up at various dating platforms, dating is fascinating, I still think dating is something that needs a better modern …

Agreed. I was a longtime listener since I had fond memories of my dad listening in the car growing up, but it’s borderline unlistenable now. Emblematic of the drastic change this g…

You’re still cherry picking, though. Leukemia and certain cancers were often a death sentence as recently as 1990. Now the survival rate over five years is like 65%+ You can cherry…

A few things: - I've had an electric car for 5 years now. My car has been significantly less maintenance than any I've owned. How is that throwing it away in a landfill? If you're …

Sounds like the same thing to me. Incentivizing something that is unintended.

Not true. They were definitely intended to plow right through cities. That’s why they built highways/freeways right through urban cores, or planned entire metro regions around them…
