It sounds like you are saying that this is reasonable in any kind of way, it's not. This is like Gmail deleting non-spam email after 30 days to prevent your inbox from filling up.

Do they always do this? I never had to present my passport as far as i can remember.

Telegram had always impressed me for the same reasons. They have constantly gotten worse since about 2022/2023 though. Dark patterns, pay gate, they lost chat history for some of my closest contacts including 15k+ lost photos, no suppo

Cost of a car is extremely hard to predict, not just because of unexpected repairs but also because the price of gas is literally political. The train experience in Germany is as bad as it is because of lobbying by the car industry and corr

Fantastic comment, thank you! I am going to dive into several of those sources and ideas.

Maybe not as extreme but I also always took great care of my hearing, wearing protection whenever I went out dancing when I was younger and never turning up my music to be nice and loud like my friends did in high school. Now in my mid 30s

I don’t see anything indicating criticism in op’s comment, seems more like an expression of surprise.

They have this as an experimental feature (which is opt-in and I won't try it)

The article mentions `.vimrc`, which matches the format of the lines starting with `set ...` but that does not result in smooth scrolling for me.

Funny enough, OpenAI to this day violates EU requirements on price advertisement by charging VAT on top of the advertised price. They still owe me and every other customer in the EU ca. $3 VAT for every month I've had the ChatGPT subsc

If you don't care about transparency your web app will not be transparent today. It takes effort. Same can be said for Wasm-based projects.

I would be interested in everyone's opinion on that 1 to 10 ratio ballpark number. What has your experience been like?

My fridge has pull-out shelves. They are very nice the 2x per year I use them.

I recently tried using Sony's (frustrating) Imaging Edge app to transfer photos from a camera to an iPad and gave it limited access and it refused to transfer images! When I changed the permissions to full access it worked. So there mu

Look at TikTok for how it can be done. It's not perfect but it's used very widely and ties context together across videos.

This is how Reddit started. In the very beginning of the site the founders had a couple of accounts they would use to put content on the site. It's in Reddit's DNA so to speak.

Legally, yes. Morally, no, they can't do what they want. Users have invested time and effort over literally decades to build today's Reddit communities. Therefore, Reddit needs to give good reasons for substantial changes they mak

Mastodon's account migration implementation has some serious issues. AFAIK you can't migrate without access to the original account, so if that instance shuts down you're out of luck. I think it's also not possible to mo

For now, the modcoord subreddit functionally takes on the role of a union. I know that there have been times in the past when moderators were unhappy about the state of tools that Reddit provides for them to moderate. If I remember correctl

Email has terrible thread navigation and I consider old.reddit.com with reddit enhancement suite the best in class.

Public networks are a lot more hostile than we realize while we have moderation armies at work. That may not be a sustainable model. I think the way forward is building the right tools to help communities self-manage. It will be more like D

If any kind of common URL is established, it should not be served from root but a location like `/.well-known/{ai,robots,meta,whatever}.txt` in order not to clobber the root namespace.

There's only so many few letter combinations and we should reuse them.

You build what you want but when billions of people use a technology our governments should most definitely get involved. With scale comes responsibility.

Oh yes, but again, that’s actually very similar between how humans and llms think. Both can use notes to improve coherence and increase the complexity that can be handled in a thought process but there is no strong guarantee that these note

Which is the same as what humans do? How would you tell anybody what you are „actually“ thinking? People are not very good at understanding their own motivations, thought processes, ulterior motives and on top of that we routinely fabricate

Can anyone recommend a book that discusses in depth all the peculiarities of timekeeping, time zones, historical efforts for measuring time, etc.? I would love to read something like that and I feel that there are many stories to be told.

I see you are getting a lot of negative comments so wanted to let you know I agree this is a good thing. Creating chaos is the only way to take away power from digital bureaucracy and surveillance systems. Make multiple conflicting linkedin

It’s a good chance to use your Bildungsurlaub allowance (education vacation?) where for 5 days a year you are being paid by your employer for educating yourself in a way of your choosing. C3 is recognized for that program almost everywhere
