Give me a mandatory field and I will give you a latrine.

then a few years later suddenly everyone’s anecdotes are praising China, or capitalism, or offhandedly mentioning some product or influencer.
There used to be a satire sub called Church of the Current Thing that made fun of this phenomenon. It eventually got banned around 2022 thanks to a cohort of bad faith actors mass-filing dubious reports of subs they didn’t like.
(I believe there was also a sub devoted to cataloging all such subs that got paved over in the name of le brand safetyTM, but it may have also gone the same way. I don’t keep up with the place)
It’s worth noting that investment in community isn’t the problem per se. People’s digital lives (indeed their digital personhood) are arguably more important than their corporeal ones now; the ability to sustainably organize online around everything from hobbies to political goals matters. The problem is we collectively keep picking the corporate-run shitware to build on, like Reddit - platforms over which we’re excluded from any sort of influence, where the only real currency is perverse incentive.
Notifications are overrated. I turn them off for the bulk of apps.
Devote one or two small time windows each day for life admin. Outside those windows it shouldn’t be seen or heard.
When is the company axing search?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the average consumer does more for the environment by reducing consumption by 10% and not recycling anything, than maintaining normal consumption and regularly recycling.
2023 turned web2 platforms into the Thing, and turned us into MacReady.
(Instagram: I was always the Thing! blargghhhgalzklgrkffz)
What is the total airport traffic over the same time? I’m interested in getting a sense of the likelihood of a search request.
In any event I’d buy a post office POS for the purpose and use an inflammatory password. removed those funts. Call it part of the cost of travel.
The cost of paper and plastic recycling is passed on with the co-operation of government. Their interests are aligned with those of industry. The cost is handballed (‘externalized’ if you want the slime term) first to individuals and ultimately to the environment. With moral hazards like this I wouldn’t expect substantial change to be driven by authorities. It’s going to take technological breakthroughs.
Whenever I see Harris, all I can think of is the Backpage . com miscarriage of justice.
In today’s screencap: failure to recognize the weapon being deployed against your enemy can easily be deployed against you.
HN reckons https://www.showsonsale.com is where the price collusion happens.
With respect OP, blow it out your ass. Think twice before posting paywalled material or at least kindly run it through a cleaner (the source can be gleaned by including the original URL). Alternately you could spend a few moments pasting important sections in the post body.
The Nazi bar idea is bullshit.
Would it not have been smarter to subtly alter them, in order to not trigger database rollbacks? Plenty of ways to ruin intelligibility with minor changes.
The fillip to retailers is incidental I suspect. The aim of plastic manufacturers when they engage in the lawmaking process is probably safeguarding their ability to produce plastic at an uninterrupted level. They’re happy to reduce total units provided the units are heavier. The environmental impact doesn’t matter: government and industry will continue forcing the recycling meme so it looks as though the conservation angle is covered. Once their part of the problem is solved, the problem no longer exists :^)
It makes you wonder why Google pursues initiatives like Web Environment “Integrity”, given that proprietary mobile apps for the most part have already completed the hatchet job on user agency and privacy.
If the employee is frequently on sick leave and is required to produce paper, that’s a trust issue. But if the manager can’t recall when the employee was last ill yet still demands one, then they’ve shown they cannot distinguish trust from compliance.
An open app simply is another type of browser tab, in my books. From a ‘screen cruft’ perspective I consider them roughly equivalent. At any rate it’s an interesting aspect of software design psychology…
Context is king. If there’s vital/time-dependent correspondence you’re waiting on, notifications can matter. But email in 2024 is pretty darn transactional, in which case a daily check is enough for most. Notifications for something suggest that I need to drop what I’m doing and attend to whatever arrived. That just doesn’t apply for service provider marketing, purchase receipts, etc.
And then the opsec angle comes into play: https://www.axios.com/2023/12/06/apple-google-requests-push-notification-data
