This is really cool. Old school video game developers were really creative with their usage of technology. Mildly related, in high school back when Power Point was new (yes, dating myself a bit), I used it to create an interactive tour thr

It is funny how often history repeats itself. Facebook learned this same lesson when they were upset at not being able to control devices that were running their software. OpenAI is going to learn that same lesson. No one wants a second dev

Just wait until advertisers can get in on your real-time mental stream of thought. This is a Black Mirror episode coming to life.

99.99999999999999% of all people take a job for the money. Sure, they may choose job A over job B because of some mission or overall objective, but if job B proposed a 50% higher salary, most people would take it. Sorry not sorry. I work fo

It may be lazy, but that doesn't make it any more accurate. Take a writing by someone using the tone of Kevin from The Office, “Me think, why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick.” Would you read an argument written in this

I suggest doing this everywhere, not just your phone. On your laptop, disable Teams notifications, remove email notifications, etc... Leave on Meeting notification if you need the reminder to join. Notifications are absolutely abused by ev

No. But framing them as such is setting the stage for them to be involved in the upcoming midterm elections. That's the whole point of this fishing expedition.

My guess is the fraud they are looking for vs the fraud they find will not at all be related. If they find the fraud at all, it will be entirely the current administration at fault.

This may have been the origin of the quote you are remembering, from Gabe Newell in the context of Steam. "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.

I'm not the right person to give feedback here. I'm not in your target market. For me, social features are a negative and I don't want to use an app that makes them center stage or even promotes them. Live activity, haptic

Workout trackers are especially at risk. Every single one I’ve tried is terrible. They are either really poorly thought out, bad UX, or charge 40/mo and still suck. I built a simple workout tracker/planner in an afternoon using an

> where should these very smart people work then in your opinion? Anywhere else. Ads are a net negative to society and provide no value. ANY activity outside of pushing ads is a better contribution to society as a whole.

If I found a random comment on this topic on reddit, didn't read the comment, and then just copy pasted it here, would you feel respected? This is the same thing. Stop.

No elected politician to the American government should be "Israel-first". Anyone stating such should be tried for treason.

I do know. I do not want to live in a society that is under 24/7 surveillance. Of course, if the cops can watch everything you do all the time, there will be less crime. But that is not a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

A few friends and I did this during Covid. We'd do 10 pushups at the top of the hour all day long. Each effort was pretty easy, but overall we'd end up doing 100ish pushups a day. After a while we'd increase the number per

I agree with you, but the reality is... >people won’t pay for timely and accurate news. This won't be changed by forcing payments through API contracts or other microtransactions. I don't pay for news today. I won't pay f

Just opened https://old.reddit.com/ in private Firefox on Windows and did not get a login wall. Able to click into comments and view links. What platform are you using?

I would argue a nightmare for most. Turning everything into a microtransaction / subscription is destroying what was good about the internet.

100%. I couldn't hate this more. If this catches on and is widespread, the internet as we know it will be completely dead. No, I don't want to pay for links I click on, ever. Sorry.

This practice was perfected by gallowboob years ago. He would spam a link/pic/post and monitor, if the post didn’t gain traction, he would delete and post again as to not trigger protections against the same link being posted. He

It is widely reported and posted around the internet that Jonathan Ross murdered Rene Good while acting in official duties as an ICE agent. There is no conspiracy here.

Ads are inevitable. Enshittification is inevitable. Interesting how those two sentences are directly aligned. I hate ad culture.
