- tene80iTrue, but feature parity isn’t required for competition. Plenty of subscribers will just be listening to what they know they want to listen to, and for them a giant DB of music is absolutely sufficient.
- Not even in the “providing a way to get music” way?
- Fun idea and nice design. How does it work?
- They have the legal right, similar to the federal government in the USA. You can disagree with their judgement, but they clearly have the right to enforce it.
- Interesting idea. Nice design. But usability issue: on mobile I hit your yellow chat CTA thinking it was submitting the app text input. You might want to move that out of the way.
- You don’t think there are any noteworthy differences between a motorcycle and an aircraft in the sort of damage it can do and where?
- It’s not a misuse - it’s exactly the intended meaning and it is perfectly common in mainstream usage.
Allowing yourself to be vulnerable means you are indeed open to attack. But it is also a large part of emotional connection. The alternative is being a fortress - with all the relationship problems that entails.
The very fact that you see vulnerability as “bad” is a perfect example of what that language is intended to highlight.
- “Nannying” as a pejorative is a thought-terminating cliché.
Sometimes, at scale, interventions save lives. You can thumb your nose at that, but you have to accept the cost in lives and say you’re happy with that. You can’t just say everybody knows best and the best will occur if left to the level of individual decisions. You are making a trade-off.

- It’s possible to be overly dismissive of mental health issues, and it’s possible to ignore the need for resilience. The report itself looks at exactly this, despite the focus of this headline. It argues employers, employees and government all have a role to play.
- He definitely has horrible product instincts, but he also bought insta and whatsapp at what were, back then, eye-watering prices, and these were clearly massive successes in terms of killing off threats to the mothership. Everything since then, though…
- “The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
- Which of Elon’s dumb ideas are masterpieces?
- It's a website UX issue. If it were an apple issue, every website for apple software would have this problem, and they don't.
Anyway, three equal priority options for Windows is also very bad, from a UX standpoint. Two is bad! The point is that there should be a recommendation. Unless it's fine to send many users away confused, in which case no problem!
- GIMP is a perfect example of how the plot has been lost.
Go to the download page: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ - A mac user has FOUR equal priority download buttons to decide between, depending on chips and whether you want direct or torrent downloads. That is an absurd decision to put in front of 99% of computer users.
For power users, no problem. But if the objective was ever to be mainstream, this is among the reasons why it isn't. There is just not enough focus on making it easy.
- Whataboutery. But also absolute nonsense - there was endless scandal about Hunter Biden.
- You prove it’s waste. Go right ahead.
- hmm… I don’t think you’re tying this closely enough to your average person on the street and their daily life. I mean I get your point but it’s very abstract. If you want to convince people, identify a problem they are having. “Peace of mind” only works if they don’t already have that.
- This is a great question but let’s reverse it: why should they care?
I don’t mean they shouldn’t, but you have to start there.
Consider the things people care about: friends, family, finances, their career, health, hobbies, their local amenities, the avoidance of hassle and, for some, living according to a set of ideals.
Why should they care? What does open source give you?
- The legislature hasn’t collapsed - parliamentarians still have their position. There is no stable government able to command a majority. If a government can’t command a majority of a legislature, it can’t legislate, so it can’t meaningfully govern. You could proceed bill by bill, but that’s a different kind of instability.
- A 0% chance of fair elections? That’s quite a claim. Care to back it up with any evidence?
