A lot of reddit’s most popular content is stuff like TrueOffMyChest from throwaway accounts. Robust privacy protection would result in more of those posts, and more traffic overall, but reddit doesn’t care about making the site work, they’ve dedicated themselves to milking the individual users for all they’re worth. It’s a bit like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Because look, now we’re all here, generating content on a competing platform

Wouldn’t the opposite of an opinion be ignorance of the topic then?

Don’t underestimate the power of executives to make really dumb choices. My company decided we’d create our own ticketing system this year, and now my Firefox tab consumes multiple gigabytes of ram…

Religion exists because it’s a way to control people you can’t reason with for whatever reason. It’s definitely a net negative now, and has been for centuries imo, but back at the beginning it was an important cornerstone of civilization

It definitely can be. It’ll be everything wrong with AAA games, with any soul that the abused artists and programmers previously manage to squeeze in, now completely excised

And yet, when it’s people, there’s a problem. Such a double standard 🙄

There’s no way my ID photo would work for facial recognition. I don’t plan on giving them anything new before I’m forced to

Okay, so that is all it is. I feel like that didn’t need an article lol

Two layers of popups before I even see the page is too many, but isn’t the issue resolved? Do they just mean it’ll take time before all the individuals hosts are rolled off the failed update?

But it’s hard to argue that they could exceed the beauty of the thing that they reflect.

Only if you’re looking for objective value of paint on a canvas, or words on a page. What I think is beautiful about art is the way it makes people feel, and the complexity of the human context that allows that. Just this week, a story caused my fiancée to have a breakthrough in her CPTSD therapy. That’s a unique kind of beauty

Artistic expression is inherent to being human. Our creative achievements are part of the beauty of nature. A painting that can make you smile, a story that can make you laugh, a song that can make you cry, that’s all nature, and it is beautiful. If you haven’t found something that speaks to you yet, I hope you’ll keep looking

And even if you do know about the election, finding useful information on the candidates is a feat

Hey, we’ve still got 2 months to the Bell Riots, and DeSantis was talking about putting all the homeless people in Florida on an island

More than I can afford, unfortunately

Then I have some bad news for you, about calculating the interior volume of a cylinder. You’ve got a lot of hole coiled up inside you

You’re conscious of the decisions you make. Sure they’re the result of a million different variables, chemicles, memories, and predetermined traits, but some of that is active. You are making the choice. Whether you could have made a different one or not doesn’t affect what the choice feels like

I got mine in November

I drive like 20 miles a week, so that would be a game changer for me

I think for was actually the right word choice there, because Black Mirror in no way came up with the concept

This is the kind of work we should be automating
