Just don't watch YouTube. Everything became junk when primed for 10-12, or 26-30 minutes - a race to the bottom. AI's a further nail into what YT was.

The world was very pious then. To have written that paragraph a century earlier may have resulted in ostracizm. To have written it like that was enough given the limited backing th…

Dyson always struck me as scammy. All the way back to the 19990s. More proof.

MacOS hasn't evolved. It sticks with old paradigms because it's stuck in its ways. With keyboards, that includes mappings that give RSI and finger strain for the sake of not adding…

REGEX that's incompatible with Office doesn't win users. > powerful spreadsheet functions like TEXTSPLIT and VSTACK... ...won't matter to almost anyone when you still can't right-c…

You seem to be chatting down some perceived tangental competition in order to chat yourself up. That kind of self-promotion's no good. Especially when picking ethereal "your writin…

If they are not conscious, does that make them unconscious? And if so, do they snore?

Back in the day there was a browser plugin for ICQ that let you chat with anyone else on the same webpage. That was ～2000. I'm convinced the web has not only gone nowhere but regre…

How edge. As a human construct, prices are also entirely made up. Treating them as a positivist 'given' akin to 'facts' from natural sciences misses the wood for the trees.

Three bars means... the exact same thing the thousands and thousands of times it's been seen before. People have no inate understanding of 'menu'. We don't even read short words li…

I'm curious what's cognitively loading about three horizontal bars arranged in a square located in the corner of an app or website. Screens, somewhat counterintuitively, used to be…

Unfortunately you were voted down for answering OP. SSL for websies, TLS for email, tunnels, XMPP, etc.

The irony of their cookie wall.
