The answer is in the article. What if your peer has it activated? All your communication, screenshots etc will still be monitored.

I am a heavy user of spotify and their "station/radio" feature. Like a song? Go to it's song-station and explorer other songs like it. It's this kind of discovery that keeps me usi…

Such news always remind me of the great filter hypothesis [1]. They also remind me on how ignorant we all are/were. Now "simply" stopping high energy consumption is not enough anym…

I feel like many of the points are complaining about the parsing side of JSON. Not the format itself. You can argue that a format is useless when "everyone" parses it "wrong" but n…

Depends on the type of immortality. If we can fight typical aging processes, then a big part of the problem you state would go away. Old brains don't learn and think as fast as you…

If you want to use powertoys run, i highly recommend the plugin for everything here. [1] Everything [2] is an indexer that will make finding your local files super fast. If you cou…

Komorebi is quite good, although it has it quirks with some applications that spawn child processes. Make sure to make yourself familiar with application specific configs, there's …

This is worthy of some sources, no? People on HN, technology professionals, might hate office. But we're not majority and I've never seen researched/polled numbers about hating off…

Where i work the only way to get a noticeable jump in salary is promotion. I call this "horizontal scaling" of salaries. I believe the "vertical scaling" of salaries would be a bet…

There are still issues with density not working well with some angular Material controls. This forced us to do some hacky css stuff. Some of the github issues have been open a long…

You'd think that the progression in computer technology brings you faster apps that need less ressources. But instead we tend to waste them in ever growing tech stacks. Browsers ar…

The AAA game industry has created this problem themselves. They need to milk gamers and satisfy investors alike. Most of the arguments in the article fall apart when you think abou…

Well trees are a technology to capture co2, are they not?

I've been thinking a lot about what my problem is. It's the talking itself. and talking and talking. It's this instagram-twitter good-riddance "i spread the message for karma" thin…

I agree for some of us, Greta is not doing good PR for this topic. I like the more calm, scientific approach. That being said i think that many people really don't care UNTIL it hu…

They cannot be serious saying that now law enforcement is better than a bad one. The latter you can at least try to change by joining and being a good guideline on how to be. I kno…

Yes. Professional use requires licensing. Too bad as our workplace forces the use of OneNote, which imho is lacking.

The great thing about Obsidian is that it still uses plaintext (it's not obsidian exclusive, i know). In case of issues with the tool, you can view and edit files in an editor. It …

I second this from a German road observation. The times I see people behind me looking down on their phones is sparingly high. The issue is that these people believe they can text …

On my Samsung galaxy, with FF the site runs horribly. Scrolling is not smooth at all. Loading takes "long". Is this a me problem?
