What's with the fad where articles start by describing how a random person overpacked? It's such a cliche by now, yet I see it everywhere.
We're story tellers with lives, perhaps it allows a person to feel like they're more than a cog in a wheel existing just to please some impatient internet stranger?
I loved my grandmother, we’ve spent such a great time together as we used to do our daily walks in the green park in front of our house and we watched all those dogs running around and birds chirping, while enjoying our ice-cream that we had acquired from the shop around the corner.
Then I wake up, and I go on Hacker News to read about all those interesting and innovative things that happen around me all the time, while my little dog wags his tail and watches me as I click every link on the front page.

Privacy concern is the main reason we still have a local-only mode in our transcription app [1]. It’s a web-app, but we play the audio/video file directly from the user’s computer, and we use local storage to store typed text in users’ browsers.
