But who is making the technology?
Circles. Circles everywhere.
Perhaps you should not anthropomorphize technology.
Anything we can do to make it easier for them.
“let n is 10”
Tear some hair out every time, as I can’t get my brain to stop
I’ve lost dozens of friends and family to alcoholism and drunk driving.
I can’t really get behind the cherry picking; society is being damaged in other real ways to a much greater extent than heroin, yet we find the ennui to overlook them; freedom of choice, speech, too expensive to bother, political authority...
Portugal has the model we should adopt and let this be as solved a problem it can be.
The middle ground you seek is already defined clearly. Are you sure your perspective here is as informed as it could be?
Text has all the same properties as an image.
It’s a composite of elements of varying height, width, and meaning to the whole.
Some sentences can be longer, or shorter. One element can be overloaded with meaning more than another.
I’m not really sure if there’s a point here at all.
Insert line about smelling their own.
This blog post is yet another confirmation for me that similar to how we can have infinitely big small numbers, we can have infinitely verbose rambles around small ideas.
How about dust and smoke? How can someone be allergic to both! The temerity.
It’s less about chemistry of the materials, more about the sensitivity of the squishy, arbitrary human body.
At most I want a prompt for my unlock password when the password manager sees I’m on a site or in an app it has a password for.
We still externalize way too much orthogonal effort on users.
One of the reasons I like 1pwd is their cli tool. I can put such a call to it in a script, authenticate and stop giving a crap about 1pwd
SV is just this generations Gold Rush and Hollywood Star chasing excuse for moving to California.
What we disagree on is the level of complexity.
It’s cli commands and text editing regardless of which method is used.
There is no iron clad hierarchy for organizing computers files on top of the OS, only personal experience. What may seem more complex for you is still just cli commands and text for me.
I do not see config as having weight, heft. Data, sure. Config is arbitrary.
I dunno about you but I don’t download Ubuntu’s package repo. I have to run an install command and then customize nginx. What’s the real logistical difference to the user if they run this command or that command? Or set config values in this file or that?
Why are you using Linux at home? Unix is for servers!
Nginx “replaced” Apache. Did we expect nothing would replace it?
Forcing people into the office isn’t about producing useful output.
It’s about embedding an expectation, and routine.
Kegerators, snack bars, they’re not about motivation. But embedding buy in.
Of all the failures in the system that could have prevented lives, this seems like the least egregious.
What people need to realize is politically inclined or no, restricting political involvement to an election every 2-4 years, letting it optimize for fiscal efficiency, not resiliency and reliability, has killed a whole lot more people than extra caution over dosage.
None of the general public control drug companies. They could control the government.
I’m all in on being a big corp sycophant because the general public are clearly incompetent political agents by enabling a bigger mess than necessary in the first place.

Cities should start suing on behalf of their citizens.
Science, direct experience, is about as concrete as it gets.
I wonder if they’re less trustworthy or you’re more aware of their untrustworthiness?
My reply was to a post highlighting when we’ve been lied to. I was just piling wood on the fire.
Fears of MSG were started in a food lab as a racist bet/joke.
Propaganda research during wars was gifted to University rather than let the spending “go to waste”. We’ve been indoctrinated by advertising, marketing, as the move from fear of sky wizards to fear of national economic collapse became the new cudgel.
The Greeks wrote about hoping the masses never tried to check the top of Olympus. It was easy enough to keep the non-technical masses in check over C02 and the rest.
Let’s build more data centers for our start ups. Surely that has no environmental impact!
I’m hopeful now that our fear based flock management has shifted from complete nonsense to at least economic nonsense, making it tangible, we’ll start to collectively accept reality. All that energy doesn’t vanish it just goes elsewhere. All that debt isn’t real; it’s what we’ve been told to believe by the latest system of social control.
