I feel like you read more into this and maybe added in your own biases. I don't think these archaeologists are interested in worshipping society's elites. Maybe hundreds of years ago when you had to be an elite to be an archaeolog

I use Brave. All the same Chrome extensions and other functionality work. But I'd wager someone on here could find a problem with them too :(

I have an Oculus/Meta Quest, I don't use it much though but I used the app mentioned "Supernatural", which right off the bat sounds better than the app the journalist used (protecting a crystal). Supernatural at least ha

I agree with you. I've been in web dev for the past 10 years and none of the companies I've worked at in San Fran use this tech. I'm familiar with the space: Gatsby, GraphQL, etc. I took a Jamstack course on frontendmasters,

Any major issues? I'm considering RN right now. Wondering whether to start from scratch or not. People refer to issues "ejecting" from Expo but those issues are vague and go back years. Any concerns or experiences on your end

Yes, journalists used to speak truth to power. Now they work on behalf of the power. And they don't just work on behalf of power, they are power themselves, and it isn't the people's power despite their claim to being "t

Amazon has gotten too big. Last year I canceled my Prime and am doing my best to use alternatives. But it's become hard, I still sometimes use Amazon and pay for shipping or use the free long-ass shipping if it exists.

Nothing like the subtle bigotry of lower expectations - the best way to keep "those people" in the underclass is to lower the standards. I'm hoping the reversal of affirmative action will light a fire under this issue.

"Wipe out someone else's commits by force pushing to the main branch." Is this possible in Github? I figured owner the repo's owner has this right and it may be disabled by default.

is this still a problem? I had a Roomba 10 years ago and that was the usual problem I had with it. That and having to pick up a rug so it wouldn't get caught.
