Not OP but guessing: easier to build/test/debug in Chrome for starters, and if it gains traction try to fix cross-browser bugs. Especially if this is a 1 person show.
We teach kids that lying is wrong.. not because it hurts people (it does) or that people care (although they do) but because it tells you something about the morals of a person. You don't have to prove the individual social damage of each lie. We've accepted that lying has bad enough consequences often enough that "lying is bad."
I get that we now live in an age of trolls, but this isn't a "whoo hoo, I trolled the world!" post. This post is using the language of morality that it's wrong to lie. The post itself is saying what he did was wrong. And yet, not apologizing for it. As you say, it's just another troll.
Exactly. It's also pretty disrespectful to the honest people who spend years mastering a craft or skill that is appreciated for the process rather than just the end result.
It's an interesting topic in light of generative AI art. In many cases, the generated stuff can look nearly identical to some really talented artists' work. So are the artists themselves irrelevant? Is their work more or less valuable, given that it took much more time and effort for them to produce?
Why do people line up to see the real Mona Lisa when they can see essentially the same result on their smartphone or tablet?
Without clear communication from Apple, people will assume that the change is a strategic move by Apple to not cede ground being lost due to the Digital Markets Act.
First they need to slim down the hardware offering. I can't even recommend an iPad to family members anymore, because there are so many of them with minor differences. Same for the phones. Even the MBP line is now convoluted with MBP14 getting the baseline M3 processor.
I can’t picture objects or colour, but have vivid dreams. Also it’s normal for me to hold conversations with myself in my head. Post-covid I had a few days with no inner “voice” and it was terribly lonely.
I recently set up a new Win11 laptop and all it took was download Node and install it via the installer. You’re up and running in 90 seconds. Yarn was another 30 seconds (npm i yarn). Even Ruby works well with RubyInstaller, and you can normally develop Rails without WSL if you really want to.
This is obviously not a popular opinion, but: I think this is great news. In the world of Meta dominating social media (+ TikTok now de facto in 2nd spot), we need diversity in the field.
Twitter (X) definitely changed in the past year, but I see it as a positive change (maybe it's my bubble) - my tech feed is no longer polluted by people fighting about left vs right, Trump etc, my feed is now tech people sharing tech-related content and I love it.
Yeah, its definitely your bubble. I'm seeing much more racism, trolling, and abuse. And from talking with other folks (IRL) I don't think this is my own bubble either.
Interesting, it’s the opposite for my feed. For 10 years I came to twitter for the exchange of ideas, learned so much about tech and business, developed friendships and connections that changed my life.
Now every time I open my feed it reminds me of trash tv. Ads for weed gummies every 8th tweet, crazy rhetoric and political content from extremist politicians I’ve often never even heard of, Elon musk himself - who I don’t follow - pushed into my face, forcing me to see his angry tweets, first, every time I load the app.
Beyond the drama, I used to get a lot of value in reading threads and now the comments are all garbage? Finding anything useful requires me scrolling past a long list of reply guys and often what just seems like spam.
It genuinely makes me sad to lose such a useful product :(.
Twitter disrupted the ability of mobs to self organize and some of the most toxic culture warriors left for Mastodon. So the people left there are the ones that can live with the idea that wrongthink exists and there is no need to be extinguished.
Conversely, I can only find that now on mastodon, where it only shows me who I've explicitly followed and not some algorithmic feed.
Just took a look at my Twitter homepage. It's hate speech, aliens live along us, flight tracking (?), various conspiracy theories and weird American right-wing crap (I'm not even American), and a couple of tech posts. It's become complete garbage.
