As someone who gleefully followed along as the Web3 hype train derailed, an important distinction is that crypto turns every believer into a salesperson, by design. There were some…

I agree that it will increase Firefox's market share in the short term, but I'm concerned it will decrease the number of people using adblockers in the long run by adding friction …

I use Firefox, but I'm concerned that this move will change the narrative around the use of adblockers. Chrome is so dominant that if you have to go download a browser like Firefox…

> There was a bone-chilling moment when my (very young) kids were playing with toys together and when asked what they were doing, they responded with "role-playing." If this was bo…

Yeah, Valetudo is the way to go. I have it on a couple of Dreame L10s. Integrates well with Home Assistant via MQTT, too.

> “There definitely shouldn’t be a law against allowing people to do what they want within the framework of the rule of law,” McGeehan told WSAZ. Well, technically true. Making ope…

The Simpsons episode was spoofing The Twilight Zone.

What sort of issues? I'm also running NixOS on mine.

I used to use Chrome for Google stuff, but recently I found the Multi-Account Containers Firefox extension. Works really well for splitting up a work profile, accounts tied to your…

Isn't that where we currently are with centralization?

In terms of software, Signal and Jitsi are great alternatives to WhatsApp and Zoom. People don't use them because of network effects, not because the incumbents are inherently supe…

The parent comment didn't say they couldn't, it said they shouldn't.

Not sure what the parent was talking about specifically, but the ACLU has fallen into the trap of pursuing partisan politics. They have leaned hard into anti-Trump rhetoric to the …

Impostor syndrome is when you see yourself as an impostor but are actually competent, not vice versa.

There are relatively inexpensive Z-Wave thermostats on Amazon, if you'd like to avoid the internet-connected requirement in the future. I have a couple of GoControl's.

While this works, at a certain point it starts to make more sense to use something like Nextcloud.

Providing invitations to random people on public forums is strictly prohibited, and can get the inviter's whole invite tree banned. Googling "RED interview" should provide you with…

Censorship is a concept broader than government.

I'm not convinced that online dating is quite the effective learning environment you're making it out to be. You are much more disposable online, and people tend to have less empat…

We haven't run into issues with a self-hosted instance of Jitsi Meet. Might be worth a look.

You might have disabled some of the default filter lists.

After doing about a month of research (The Mattress Underground is a good forum) I bought a latex mattress from SleepEZ. Had it for a couple of years and been very happy with it. O…
