- My reflex is to call the website useless because the problem isn't usually software produced by individuals. My problem is the buggy messes that trillion dollar corporations produce.
- I definitely don't disagree there! I think I am on the same page as you as far as goals. I just am unfortunately a bit more jaded and pessimistic about the unending reach of these platforms.
- This is something I've personally explored and lightly researched. I think the general population generally prefers recommendation algorithms (they espouse how great _their_ for-you page is on tik-tok or how spotify suggests the best music).
You would also be combating against ad and social media companies with extremely deep pockets. You have to keep in mind that algorithmic sorting also would impact search engines like Google and a ton of shopping websites.
I personally think the way this has to be done is something more fundamental and "grassroots-like". Similar to how a significant chunk of the internet are against "AI content" I think that same group of people need to be shown that this algorithmic recommendation brainrot is impacting society considerably.
edit: To take this point further, as an American, I have been wondering why people would disagree on basic principals or what feels like facts. The problem is that their online experience is completely different than mine. No two people share an exact same home page for any service. How are you supposed to get on the same page as someone when they live in a practically different world than you?
- Supply and demand. Selling via grey markets is an option, but many white hats don't go that route due to risk. There's plenty of people that will also find vulnerabilities without any money attached.
- Wow, I was under the impression that these were selling incredibly well.
I started to appreciate Ford's strategy recently after they lost my faith after they killed off sedans in the US. I'm now confused again by the company's strategy
- It is a very significant consideration for every one of those tools. The introduction of the "ribbon" in Excel was moderately controversial in 2007.
The default tools made available in Photoshop is why it remains on top to this day.
- What scares me about Claude Code (and ai developer tools in general) is that a small model update could change how I interact with the tool entirely. There's no freezing the communication style that I need to use for good results.
- What do you mean exactly? Some people like being able to watch YouTube and Netflix without utilizing a third party device.
The tv also has a microprocessor to upscale/decode content. Most tvs also have the ability to connect to a variety of sound systems through Bluetooth.
If your concern is additional cost for the bundled features, I believe the ads subsidize and offset the cost. (I'm not pro ad. Again, I do not connect my tv to the Internet, but let's not reject the benefits entirely).
"Non smart" TVs are prohibitively expensive in my experience. They are large format monitors. You can also consider a projector.
- I need people to give this sort of idea more serious thought.
I honestly don't think it's an insane proposition and we've let ad companies go too far. Anything they stick their hands in gets worse, full stop.
- I never understand this type of refrain. Why connect the TV to the Internet?
I have yet to run into a TV that doesn't work entirely offline at any pricepoint
- I love how both MacOS and Windows users are reaching a point of no return.
Last week I finally decided to jump to Linux. While I realize that I have a few nits and annoying bugs I run in to, its hard to say if linux has any more than the mainstream offerings.
- I think the market forces that is supposed to constrain these companies are broken.
Users don't have many other options to switch to. Even if they did, the b2b/advertising revenue they get makes up for any losses they may take on the consumer side.
- I think disengaging from social media is a big part of this. These advertiser and engagement fueled algorithms promote all of the insane takes as well. You find much more fulfillment engaging with people locally or people in your close circles.
- Its a great idea, I'm cautious to install this because I don't know how to monetize this for the long haul. I'd love to hear your thoughts on local models vs something hosted for this.
- It's pretty frustrating that every release is IOS first without any timeline or expectation for Android
- Google has all of that and more, right? They control the browser and devices that you use to access an AI app. They control the content shown to you in leisure and work. ChatGPT doesn't have that much exposure and surface area yet
- Wholeheartedly agree, however The Changelog Podcast helped shift my perspective on this. It's really about not having the responsibility of storing and maintaining passwords.
- Sorry, may be wrong about chrome, but you can definitely do it in the Google app on Android.
I just disabled the setting recently. Here's a link to a Reddit thread talking about the feature
- You can generate share.google links on chrome for any arbitrary url.
- This sort of competition drives every goal I have. Identify a rival to benchmark myself against and to hold myself accountable.
I am surprised to see that he turns it into a "true enemy" relationship where the other party is "taking" something for you. I think that is perfect for sport rivalries, this sort of thinking probably wouldn't be the best for most readers of this.
- Now I'm wondering why did chrome change the behavior to use share.google links if this will be the inevitable outcome
- The BBB complaints list is a glorified internet post. It's not keeping a business any more honest than posting a review on Google or Yelp.
- Every immigrant being destined by ICE isn't necessarily an "illegal" immigrant.
- I _really_ dislike this marketing site, but I really appreciate this effort from shopify.
constructive criticism: It looks cool, but it took far too long to get my bearings on the site
- To respond to your second part: I don't need to cope. Motorcycles are sold to meet noise pollution standards just like cars.
Something about this generalization rubs me the wrong way. A person who modifies their motorcycle to be extremely loud does not care.
- I've recently noticed that the thumbnails on the homepage are higher resolution than the thumbnails on the subscriptions page
