FWIW: the Care Credit Card is legit. Having one has been a boon to me a few times by helping me cover unexpected medical expenses with reasonable interest rates.

It’s not the managers that are pushing for return to office, they’re just the messengers for senior leadership who have spent millions buying real estate and want the return on inv…

I find myself thinking more and more frequently how nice it would be to go back to the carefree days of the early 90s. What a sad state of affairs that is.

> Improving people's ability to competitively argue for things they don't believe in seems a hilariously bad idea. I disagree with this so very much. High school debate was foundat…

All the recommendations for Kagi. I never imagined I would pay for search, but after using it for free the value proposition was abundantly clear.

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable take. FWIW I kind of feel like “no js” may be a pipe dream today. I see a lot of talk about it but very few sites actually do it; there just seem…

Yeah, thanks to Kagi I haven’t used google’s search in a long time, and I’m happier for it.

The very next item on the page is another huge graphic which says “unless you want it”.

I can’t seem to view the videos embedded in the article on iOS, which is disappointing because I really want to see that mosaic mode.

TIL that Opera was rewritten to be based on chromium. That makes me kind of sad. Not super sad, because I haven’t used Opera in a decade, but still a little sad.

The design of “passwords” on the Mac and iOS doesn’t make it seem like anything is a “safari” password. You save a password to the keychain in safari, and then you go to the “passw…

No? Where did I say that? I just don’t blame people for bypassing that paywall.

Hot on the rails of multiple government agencies pushing hard to erode end-to-end encryption. Seems like things are going to get interesting.

Honestly the best part of troubleshooting is when I find out I was just being a massive dumbass the entire time. I go tell my team, friends, wife, etc, “I fixed it, I was just a du…

There are laws against anti-consumer and anti-competitive practices, I’m not sure why you think we don’t have a right to purchase what we want without the market attempting to coer…

Then you didn’t read what I wrote? I don’t like anti-competitive, anti-consumer sales tactics. When that is all that is offered, I don’t blame people for finding ways around it. Wh…

The problem with subscriptions is that you don’t have unlimited means, which means you can only afford a certain number of subscriptions. A subscription is always more than the cos…

The pizza place doesn’t require you to sign up for a monthly pizza subscription to get a single slice.

> …on the other never ever pay for any of it. How do you know that the parent comment here doesn’t ever pay for journalism? For all you know they pay for literally every publisher …

The problem with paying is that there are an unreasonable number of publications out there to subscribe to. It would cost an absolute fortune to support every journalist for every …

I am a rather extreme introvert myself and also a people leader. The people who report to me often have no idea that I’m introverted because I am a strong communicator, and I genui…

The article doesn’t say it, but the pronunciation is identical to Japanese, which I am fond of in general. In college Japanese class we were taught the phrase “ah, we soon get old”…

Probably because your assertion doesn’t mesh with reality. You’re pretending that there is some imaginary standard about how websites must work, we’re saying our personal experienc…

Yeah, this site isn’t bad; the comment I was initially responding to was more a general commentary on a trend that admittedly doesn’t really apply here. It’d still be nice to get a…
