Some people don’t like when it’s too quiet. For some it’s uneasy, for some it makes it too hard to stop your mind from wandering. That can make it hard to sleep or hard to focus on a task. White noise is noise that makes it not quiet, but isn’t so loud or too full of meaning to be a distraction on its own. Most people use something like ocean waves, running water, rain, wind noises, the warp core noise from Star Trek, etc.

Enshittification

Hiring someone that OpenAI chose to fire is pretty clearly fair play, but how does this declaration not directly run afoul of anti-poaching laws?

So a plumbing business which books appointments via their nothing-customized Squarespace page, that’s a tech company? And you would think it appropriate if a news story about that plumber causing a water main break being posted to a technology news feed?

Having a website does not make a company a tech company and you are objectively wrong if you think it does.

Is the implication that any business you access via a web browser or app is a tech company? Boy do I have news for you about literally every business

He’s not even the main character, he’s a sidekick and not even the most prominent of the sidekicks really. (Despite the fact that he appears first in many character lists for the movie, the protagonist is Searcher)

The sentence in the article, even if linking to an older article, should still make sense as a sentence on its own. Without the word “supposed” as the older article has, it just doesn’t.

And if I could get a ride in this service today that might be relevant

Hating Musk is okay but this comment betrays a serious lack of knowledge of how Starlink works. They operate on the verge of losing orbit at many times (especially right after launch) BY DESIGN. This is so that malfunctioning satellites will deorbit quickly and not turn into long term space junk. The fact that hundreds have been lost this way is literally just SpaceX being responsible stewards of orbital space.

No, that would actually be worth the money. This sounds like a subscription to feel like even more of a loser when you still fail to get laid.

lol 400%?

Try 27,200%. That is the actual ratio on publicly traded companies.

I have been a developer professionally and exclusively using Unity for 17 years. Yesterday, I installed Unreal Engine. I’m doing as many tutorials as I can this weekend.

I have no faith now that there will be enough studios willing to use Unity to sustain a career based on it.

Trying to claim the term “Web3” is a futile battle. It is already widely understood to mean crypto and blockchain. If I see a job posting that says the company is built on Web3, I know immediately that the job is built on scams and grifts without having to ask further questions. Web3 as a term is ruined already.

For this to work it must be a different term than Web3. Maybe “Web 3.0” is different enough?

Ironically, the text on this meme is so small that I had to zoom in on it on my vertical phone to be able to read it

“We won’t use your calls to train AI without your consent, so it’s a good thing our new TOS includes you giving us your consent.”

There are a lot of valid reasons not to do a screw in plug, but hoses solved this problem decades ago. The top turns, the cord doesn’t

Letting discord take over IRC’s job was a mistake.

“Final”

What, again?

Nebula is making good inroads. It’s well positioned to (eventually) make a shift from “YouTube parasite” to “YouTube alternative”.

The real victims here
