Who are you people glazing this functionality? The term doom scrolling came about, in large part, because of infinite scrolling. I have never, in nearly two decades of smart phones being everywhere, met someone who liked infinite scrolling

This is a false equivalence. I don't use a product _because_ it's got an endless scroll. I use a product and then they add that "feature" without giving me an option. I would, and have, turned it off when possible. But i

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this story sounded completely fabricated. It reads like a Flock ad.

This should go without saying, but the person you're replying to obviously wants you to prove instances of scientists receiving grant money because they know someone or are part of a group. They are not asking you to prove the support

Turn off your watch history. It stops all shorts except from your subscriptions. If they remove this, I will surely be done with YouTube. I was so desperate to disable shorts and ready to be done with the app, but then I learned that disabl

I'm curious why it seems so many on this site still have Facebook accounts. I'd deleted mine before and it didn't stick, but I deleted it again earlier this year and haven't one single time considered creating another. I

The person you responded to didn't say anything about harm to themselves. They said there's nothing stopping them from donating even though they're aware of the PFAS contamination in their area. And from what I understand, PF

I'm curious if there's been any evidence Novamin actually repairs enamel or "repairs" in some other way. IIRC, it's not allowed in the states because it's not economical to prove that it actually repairs teeth,

Shhh! Don't let Google know about this trick. I've gotten stuck in approximately 0 doom scroll loops since disabling view history and I'd like to keep it that way.

B&W mode is great until you're trying look at photos or watch videos. I wish there was a setting in the operating system to remove color from UI elements and not videos or images. Or turn B&W on/off for certain apps, like

YouTube is like 10% of Alphabets profits and there are thousands of creators relying on it for a living. Anecdotal but the creators I follow all talk about YouTube giving them a much better monetization strategy than any other platform. So

I rather disagree and think this discourse is both beneficial and necessary. This comment really feels dubious and is the exact definition of the Noble Lie.

I suspect it might be complicated by the fact that most of their content isn't owned by them but leased(?) from record labels, artists, podcasters, etc? But I agree it seems like they use this API as a free launch pad for ideas, which

Their complete lack of interesting custom games is what killed it for me. Halo, for me, was about forge and messing around in fun game modes people came up with. Releasing Halo without forge and with bare bones custom game tools is like sel

This is a privileged opinion, no? Not everyone has the resources or means to leave the place they live.

Coming from a smaller town (<30,000) I was pretty much taught this. I couldn't go a month without someone wishing I would move away and leave the town behind. I live in a bigger city now and I'm glad but it took effort not to f

MKBHD recently shared the same sentiment in a video. He feels, anecdotally, that 5G is worse than LTE. I feel the same way and recently switched my preferred network to LTE. You might find a better experience doing the same. I've found

I haven't used it for nearly a year now, but in my last role we used ES for user-facing search. We had to turn to documentation, forums and support for a lot of problems we faced and I got the impression ES was mostly being used for lo

I think 1x is baseline. If you can buy two for the original price, it's 2x cheaper. 10 for the same price? 10x cheaper. The parent you're replying to seems to have things confused. 100% off isn't 1x cheaper -- it's infin

Why would someone elected to office, who knows they can't run again, have any concern about the will of the people? At best you would have the same outcome that you get from politicians at the end of their terms, and it's not like

I want this as well. I loved Runescape as a kid and OSRS is fun, but it really doesn't feel like I'm the target audience anymore. One thing I've loved is their concept of Leagues. I would love a game like OSRS that has a pers
