Right, what we trade in regulating the score, we lose in data privacy since all credit scoring systems have no problem fucking around with your data giving it to whoever asks even though there is a tremendous amount of information attached.

I don't see how an unchecked Playstation is at all comparable to how much Microsoft can leverage ABK across several industries. Microsoft knows this, it's why they're OK with Game Pass destroying software console sales (somet

It was a cesspool, with subs like jailbait and fatpeoplehate running rampant, turning platform into nothing but a hate-obsessed one with lots of porn (mind you, not the type that reddit became famous for around ~2018, but revenge and gif re

There is design diversity, but you're just not going to find it on mainstream sites or apps because they're catering to the everyman. When that occurs, you're tossing away novelty for a sense of expectation. Much in the same

We just rely on layers and layers of cruft. We then demand improvements when things get too bad, but we're only operating on the very top layer where even dramatic improvements and magic are irrelevant. Windows is especially bad at thi

You can't really be stagnant due to competition. Not unless you're deep into some niche that's difficult to get started in or stick around.

It's a little different, Microsoft doesn't care about consumers as they stopped being relevant to Microsoft's financials in the Ballmer era. Even consumer Office spending makes less than LinkedIn for companies to put into per

Yes, also people dramatically undervalue how substantial the absence of data is when it comes to profiling someone. Especially when you compare it to other data points, for example not having credit cards on record is enough information t

I actually believe this is one of the reasons Reddit (and its alternatives) will never reach their peaks again. Too many want to take, not many want to give their valuable information. What this essentially boils down to, is AI will then pr

That's kind of a big if. We're assuming the users are happy, but from what I've seen having to rely on Patreon or other external apps is making users unhappy.

I can understand why both your friends and the company struggled to respect your choices and required so much more legwork than normal, because man oh man you are quite bad with words!

I really disagree with the community building part, but I do agree with the defaults on Discord being horrible. With the community building aspect, forums were not great for it. Due to how fragmented it was, and how subforums were often dra

The biggest pro to choosing the likes of Svelte (or Vue, htmx, long list of newer frameworks that have learned from React/Angular's shortcomings) is how few footguns there are. That's really the big thing. I know everyone lov

JSX is necessary to use React otherwise you create even more footguns in a library that's littered with them.

There will never be a better representation of what's wrong with crypto platforms than this tweet[1] here demonstrating the sheer ignorance at every level (tech, finance, regulation, etc) from its biggest proponents. Also very hilariou

Finbold's reliability doesn't matter much here since this is just a shell article about a tweet https://twitter.com/johnreedstark/status/1666780985189433347

How can you be a moderator on reddit, defend reddit on other sites, meanwhile they still don't have adequate native moderation tools that have been promised for months now? I genuinely don't get such allegiance. At least get paid

I'll also add that some of the state proposals are in general quite nice in where their priorities are. Such as prioritizing working in the open, both in sharing research, working with standards groups, and open source tooling. It woul

Niche stuff has always been economically viable. Niche stuff also tends to get publisher support. Realistically these days the only reason why books don't have an audiobook format is due to not wanting to support Amazon/Apple, or

Yeah I would agree with this, the article struggles really classifying the different paradigms, and due to this the conclusion winds up not holding true. We're still relying on "batch processing".

Yes, but they're not going to pass on costs from not using a voice actor. They're just going to charge what they normally would have, and not worry about having to give so and so a cut.

Yes and it's going to be done through digital IDs. Unless something dramatic happens, we're poised to turn to digital IDs linked to your real ID and in turn validating access to apps/communication.

Would relate to this. Even with normal wear and tear, reassembly isn't a problem. Perhaps the difference stems from how rushed/impatient one was during initial assembly. I do know a couple pieces where that happened and it resulte

Couldn't agree more. Which makes sense, he only experienced life through books in near total isolation. You can't really provide anything of value about life or society that way, you're just stuck in your own mental projectio

The best account I remember of him was someone drawing a lot of parallels between the general gifted/high functioning autistic person and his life. There is just so many similarities that it's difficult to process it another way.

Those are the biggest aspects, but the private aspect is actually an important part of why many open source projects are using it. They don't really want to be having those sort of conversations in github issues or the discussions page

As in the rumor references itself, people are taking the existence of the rumor as proof the rumor is true, but in the thread (when I last checked) nobody actually posted anything remotely usable for even a shallow tech investigation piece.

You don't have to use any animation software with them either. What you're doing on a physical whiteboard is utilizing symbols. So use symbols on the whiteboard app. Change node colors, change node border, add stickers, whatever i

It seems like the rumor is self-referential. Is there anything more substantial here?

Try the ones that try to mimic the whiteboard experience, Apple Freeform, Microsoft Whiteboard, Explain Everything, Invision, Milanote, Miro, etc. It really is such a powerful format, as long as some ground rules are established (not creati
