No, they are saying that this is #1 barrier for their happiness. So, not stopping the state-sponsored genocide, or getting rid of masked thugs that erode their basic freedoms, or having a healthcare safety net. They just wished they could afford more stuff.

The other day a friend asked me for games recommendation for her young kids, “anything to get them off the roblox”. Having grown up with Monkey Island and Incredible Machine, I really feel sorry for this gen kids and their always-online and ever-screaming lobbies.

The children gaming market is huge and roblox has it all pretty much to itself. The “problem” for their leadership is that the machine must grow. Being on top with no competition, that’s not good enough. Sustainable long term business with clean nose is somehow considered to be a failed business model. Both stupid and greedy, the worst combination to have as stewards of biggest online communities for children.

That tech is not there. The cam has it’s own status display on dashboard that shows"vigilance". On 5 hour drive on Interstate I got 0/5 maybe because I was wearing glasses?

There is so much stuff in modern cars that don’t work the way you want it to, or plainly doesn’t function. Dead-end menu items, touchscreen buttons that don’t do anything, driving “assistance” for collision detection with many false positives…

I’d want the least amount of software in my car, but the industry marches blindly the other way, and they seemed to have inherited QA from Microsoft.

The only important topic.

I don’t fucking care about peeling paint and aelge, or the world cup, or the heat wave (unless we’re talking climate action).

Thank you for using your influence to send this message, and for beautifully putting into words what we all feel.

Not a meltdown at all. Calmly spoken nonsense. Title is clickbait. There, I’ve slammed them.

No no no! The “show all posts in reverse chronological order” cannot be a description of an outcome; it is phrased as a request or a command. The outcome description would be “posts get shown in reverse chronological order”! Also there is no way to show all posts, that’s not really possible with finite resources.

Unless you were thinking of an algorithm that prints out text “show all posts in reverse chronological order”, then you are completely right in that being the outcome.

Article is fluff, just read the source of info: https://www.firefox.com/en-US/whatsnext/

I like built in ad blocking and further privacy protection. I’d like to see more of it, to firmly establish where firefox stands in the big tech war against personal freedom.

Unpopular opinion - for me Firefox is a joy to use. I appreciate that we still have a strong alternative to web monopoly. Sure things could be better but when was this not true? I’ve used it for many many years and there’s nothing on the horizon that I would consider as alternative.

I spent few years using it professionally and mentoring others, but never felt comfortable with it. Small eternities spent fighting the language constructs and solving typing puzzles. My take away is that I could just barely fit the C++ in my head and then there’s no room for anything else. I’m done with it for good.

Being in “this is obviously wrong” category, I have no choice but to downvote this.

This is my 2nd favourite Mac track, but that’s just because the Albatross takes me somewhere out of space and time. David Bennett has a great harmonic analysis video that made me appreciate The Chain even more.

I sense a story? Tell us more, why’d you get it and then remove it?

Thanks! I’ll stick to mobile internet then for now.

Is there a satellite service offering internet connectivity in EU? I spent some time being bounced around the eutelsat web and my takeaway is they don’t deal with individuals.

Do it to have a laugh but don’t kid yourself this will change anything. Your time is limited and precious, the machine can scale beyond our comprehension. It doesn’t feel and can’t be humiliated or humbled.

It’s not even about skill atrophy, it’s more subtle. You can quickly relearn forgotten skills.

Unlearning a habit, on the other hand, is much harder. If you get into habit of reaching for AI anytime something hard needs to get done it’s going to wreck your internal motivation and reward system. meme_historian describes it really well in this thread, I noticed the same thing happening to me.
