I would say that setting aside a tiny bit on top of “pay your rent” for savings is necessary. It doesn’t have to be a ton but you shouldn’t be in trouble if the company doesn’t work out. Startups can take years to play out and you need a sa

> Some people have zero self preservation. I wouldn't go deliver something to a terrorist group for any amount of money. Is this victim blaming, or am I misreading it?

I played occasionally on a counter strike source server years ago and despite being a scrub would often get 10+ players spectating me to figure out if I was cheating. I wasn’t even playing well (and never have played cs well), it was just a

I don’t know how to read that chart. How do we know the levels increased? What did they used to be? who operates that site? What are safe levels?

Russia has predicted that the wests sanctions will be mild because they depend on Russia for oil and wheat. Everyone is more afraid of a recession than of future wars. Are they right? Would you be willing to risk your retirement investments

I’ve made it to the top 5% in a few competitive games, top 1% or 0.1% even. Once you get there, it’s surreal because of how sloppy you know you are: everything you do is still so clumsy and you still have so much uncertainty. It’s just that

Property values in Canada are quite high. That free free squatted on non-free land for 150 years before you got to chop it down. How many dollars per year did the land cost for those 150 years? Just saying that the free tree isn’t free

I’ve used downpour for years and it’s a great service. Drm free downloads as well if you don’t want to use their app and a massive selection

I like downpour a lot for audiobooks. As a bonus, you can download drm free audio files for all your books too

A Twitter thread is not the way to reveal research like this, it’s terrible for discussion and the character limit prevents your going into proper depth.

There is a very short list of hardware they do endorse here. I’m not sure if it uses those loopholes or not https://ryf.fsf.org/

In Ux, you often optimize systems to help make user error as close to impossible as you can, and to optimize to be able to complete tasks quickly. However, in many video games, user error is a core part of the experience and you often don’t

The librem costs more than a pine phone iirc. Does it offer things the pine phone doesn’t? Eg, I heard purism has better microcode access to their chips so maybe drivers will be easier to write?

Those click-through terms being ubiquitous removes 99% of peoples rights to the legal system, which seems a bit fishy

Also, are click through agreements really binding? Imagine if the terms said “by visiting, you agree to pay us $100,000 in 12 months”

Do you use any 3rd party software piece that collects data without your knowledge? Even if not, does your policy need to mention any data google collects about their use of your app? I’m not sure

It’s not one person on a throne making decisions for the entire industry. Many different organizations are all making tv shows and movies, so you tend to get a mix even if the large companies focus on bad content The things in decline imho

Pop music, Hollywood movies, and book publishing have done this for years. There is just more data than before. It is about as soulless as it ever was, but maybe less so: there have been some great shows in the last decade (not as many grea

Great content is x% of all content. If you want more great shows, the industry will need to make a ton of shows and most won’t be great. We’ve had a decade of really amazing tv, it’s no wonder there is some mediocre work in there too. We al

I guess somebody should point out that “the primacy of individuals and/or the self” is itself an ideology. Maybe the author only means certain ideologies Is a better title: “ideologies involving self-sacrifice involve self-sacrifice”?
