Genuinely curious, why? This doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

I agree. I run a small community organisation and we've come off all social media and created a single website. You want information about us? That's where it is - the website. Nobody should be relying on any social media company

I've always been a fan of BetterMouse: https://better-mouse.com/ Either way, anything that isn't the stock Logitech software is going to be an improvement.

It's not new though. LLMs make it more pervasive, but hackathons have always naturally preferred shiny, cool-looking things. At least, in my experience.

We'll agree to disagree on that one. Feels more like a CEO trying to absolve himself of the human cost of a strictly business decision. Instead, he should own that business decision openly. Being told I'm "special" and &

This is so weird. I was in the process of trying to build something almost identical! Congrats, and good luck! I'll have to buy one now.

A lot of the replies to this are, predicably, disappointing. For what its worth, I entirely agree. AI is good at a lot of things, but it genuinely sucks at anything that requires real creativity. The human at the heart of a creative endeavo

I don't know why XCode gets the hate it does. It's a solid IDE which I've used for years with only minimal issues. It's certainly no more or less buggy than anything JetBrains releases.

A year-long restructure, where over 1000 people could lose their jobs is beyond disgusting. There's zero justification for it. Ever.

Using the Ryanair website makes me feel icky. The whole thing feels like you have to be constantly on guard not to get tricked - and I'm relatively wise to these things. I dread to think how much of their revenue is generated from peop

Absolutely get in the bin with this ridiculous take from a newspaper with a vested interest in getting people back in to expensive office real estate. Juniors cost more to train, take more effort, and time from seniors who are otherwise &qu

Wait, I'm paying and I still get targeted ads shown to me? But I do get "super reactions"? Come on.

One of the best things I've read this year. Also one of the worst things I've read this year, actually. But also, I enjoyed reading it.

I _think_ it's the best we have right now, right? Excellent UX research speaks for itself, there's just not much of it. As an industry, we've done a realllllly good job of devaluing high-quality UX research and those who do i

This is a distillation of what we used to (still do?) teach junior SWEs. "You are not the customer for the thing we're making, nor have you ever been. You don't know what they want/need."

> "Can I tell you one more thing from your X,Y,Z results which is most doctors miss ? " That's actually gross and would result in an immediate delete from me.

Oh man, I'm so entirely sick of this. Why are billionaires so allergic to using capital letters at the start of sentences? You're laying people off, it just shows how little you actually care about the detail. "i'll own

> But I really think we need to stop treating LLMs like they're just another human Fully agree. Seeing humans so eager to devalue human-to-human contact by conversing with an LLM as if it were human makes me sad, and a little angry.

Turns out you're not buying the storage and compute required to store your video. Google can afford that regardless of whether you pay. They're licensing your own video back to you.

So I choose an entirely chronological one, containing only that content created by my close friends and family. Except, I'll never be given that choice.

In reality, us thinkers will have to find other things to think about. Maybe not right now, but in the not-too-distant future we'll have to find other things that make us think and scratch that bit of our brains that need itching from

I guess it depends on which spaces they're banned from. Before Facebook, online communities were bulletin boards and chat rooms. They weren't hyper-addictive social media platforms designed to suck as much attention as possible; t

Get in the habit of tapping "Don't Allow" when apps ask for notification privileges. You don't need them. Open the app when you want to.

Being a nuisance is not illegal. In the eyes of the law, someone being a nuisance is, indeed, innocent - and to say so is not dishonest.

I get that this is cool, but I also feel grateful that my life just isn't busy enough to justify this as a thing beyond "oh wow, that's cool tech". I'm able to juggle the competing priorities in my life without the

I'm not a fan of Palantir being involved in the NHS, but this is just political campaigning. Polanski is head of a political party with, currently, almost no power in the UK. This is symbolic campaigning. Which is fine, but don't
