I think you left off figuring out how to connect a floating data center to the internet without making that aspect as expensive as powering the thing in the first place.

The forums I keep an eye on have been bought by aggregators who redesign them for maximum ad-suck. It’s a shame bc very old threads contain massively valuable information and conve…

I’ve applied for several jobs outside of tech or only tech-adjacent. I’m not happy to give up significant income and benefits, but you don’t get everything you want. What AI-first …

Dangerous, addictive drugs played a role in me meeting my wife. Do I wish the same for my children? No.

I can relate to a certain type of reluctance, in that I live in a part of the US that has never needed air conditioning. I don't look forward to the hassle and expense of installin…

The two matches for my name are hallucinated athletes. For now.

It’s the opposite of obscure - it’s commonplace. It’s a skull and crossbones. It’s not a swastika. It’s a nothing burger.

He didn’t have a nazi tattoo, full stop.

Gosh he's not behaving as if he wants to make a deal.

My worst interview was decades ago where the building was a walk-up and the office was on the 8th or 9th floor, something absurd. It was winter, I had layers of warm clothing on, a…

I'm sure you've heard a few. Thank you though!

I feel differently. Like the author of this article, I attended an expensive, quasi-prestigious prep school in the American South _and_ went to Columbia. Kids in both milieus were …

This is like a person-sized Roomba. Even if it might work, within certain strict constraints, it's essentially unnecessary.

I went home from a bar in 2003 knowing only the first name of a wonderful girl I chatted with that night, and thanks to Friendster I was able to locate her in a city of over 8MM pe…

Update: watching YT in a browser on iOS is completely enshittified. I am giving up and actually looking into sideloading an app that kills shorts.

The disappointment needs to be directed at Craigslist, which sat on its hands and let FB eat their lunch. And while FB marketplace search kinda sucks the algorithm is supremely eff…

Stealing an idea is different from lying to people in order to steal their actual business, which is more like what Zuckerberg did.

If you consider Marketplace its own product it’s a massive win but they haven’t monetized it beyond some very ineffective post boosting and advertising. I honestly think they could…

Came to request the auto-hide feature as well!

Really hard-core, old-school Charleston accent missing: https://youtu.be/rxNZrFyl2DA?si=VV7OWi-fY2m3twIA&t=1835

Why isn’t a MacBook Air M5 on the hardware list?

I know what you mean, but I am willing to lose that content, in that form. Similar to the way I have used Instagram for a decade but have no idea what a reel is and ignore them.

I've deleted the app from my phone. When I want to watch YT I open Brave, which blocks shorts and promoted videos in search. As an added benefit watching videos feels like a slight…

I have done similar grafting experiments, although at present I am navigating a change in motivation. I got into apples through cider, but gave up alcohol this year. (As an aside, …

More importantly I feel like federation is a reaction to a problem small social networks don’t have. I want a Tumblr for just people I know. I don’t want it to metastasize and inte…
