two $30 hard drives. many of us handle this sort of thing as a matter of course in our daily lives, and the walled ecosystem chases us out.

if we're aiming to present fiction, we should replace phrases like "not 100% accurate," with "not accurate."

too many dummies read a line like not 100% accurate and assume the content must be something like 90% accurate.


perhaps "Delete pages/general-information-and-resources/psychological-safety.md" will inspire a less ambiguous response


on occasion the distinct shape of a rare uppercase word like SANCTIMONIOUSNESS is just alien enough to trigger the first effect, though you might not realize why


i agree with the nibling comment that this name works precisely because it provokes curiosity about its relevance.

i can't be the only dev who saw this headline and wondered whether some entity was pushing for a csv standardization (e.g. guarantees about encoding, escaping, etc.)


youtube is clearly able to treat music tracks differently from ordinary videos. its android app won't allow you to play music in the background (a dark pattern driving sales of youtube music premium subscriptions)


A huge problem is that YT allows users to enter their own hashtags, which turns into a complete cluster of spammy tag use, They also allow users to upload their own thumbnails, instead of only using actual thumbnails from the videos, which also feeds bias.

There are very clear solutions to problems on the platform, they just choose the wrong direction so much because it feed their constant need to increase YOY profit, and it's annoying users off the platform.

An empty home page is not a good idea at all, and it forces users into opting into tracking, which is not kosher, and likely going to become a legal issue if anyone authoritative is doing their job any more.


Using PlayTube allows playing music in the background. It works reasonably well too.

uh huh, they need to hop to it

it isn't controversial that a company would rather destroy a resource than let someone have it, but some of us strongly oppose this


Don't subscribe to the service if you don't like the business. HP certainly pushes instant ink, but afaik, all of the instant ink printers are also usable with customer owned cartridges (although some printers won't use 3rd party cartridges).


I mean, I don’t. But I don’t think they should be allowed to something so senselessly wasteful at all. If the business doesn’t work without trashing perfectly good ink it shouldn’t be a business.


They are not destroying any resources, you are free to cut the cartridge open and use the ink or electronic components as you like.
