analogdreams··on Why I Left Rust
natural extension of the woke/SJW nonsense. it will ultimately be the downfall of all OOS as people refuse to contribute/engage.
analogdreams··on Ask HN: What happened to Clubhouse?
it got overrun by woke nonsense and no one wants to listen to that.
analogdreams··on Spotify and Google Announce User Choice Billing
truly the innovation the end user has been clamoring for
analogdreams··on Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date
....which itself was a result of the insane overreaction to covid from the same media convincing people they were all going to die.
analogdreams··on A beginner's guide to intermittent fasting (2012)
similar, but i got so good at it i got used to regularly going 3-4 days without eating at all and not really noticing/caring. as a result, my metabolism is shot and losing weight has been a real challenge. everything that went in stayed in for years.
analogdreams··on Reddit blocks posting any .ru links
Why don't we just make DNS refuse to resolve the domain while we are at it? This mass censorship is apparently the new hotness.
analogdreams··on Tim Cook tells employees the return to offices will begin on April 11th
when the overtime is included why not push it to the limit? i once had a contract where deployments were shit shows every other weekend. i signed up for every single one...

on more than a handful of occasions i was able to bill 20 hours over overtime at 2x rate for simply being 'available' meaning my phone was on mute in a deployment support conference call.

they happily paid and i happily pretended to care about their product.

analogdreams··on U.S. firm Cogent cutting internet service to Russia
That requires a lot of confidence that the replacement will be better. I think this is a 'be careful what you wish for' scenario.
analogdreams··on U.S. firm Cogent cutting internet service to Russia
These are not moves to celebrate. Not even the "just build your own!" cries we heard when people like the Orange Man Bad was deplatformed from Twitter apply here.
analogdreams··on Google Docs New Feature: Pageless
so.... a mural clone? currently sitting through a 2 day training class that is using mural and i do not get the obsession/love of this tool at all.
analogdreams··on Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
My domains will be moving from your service as a result.
analogdreams··on Meta shares drop 20% on Q4 earnings miss, weak outlook
i just logged in to my account (i look about once a week) and everything i see that is not an ad is something i actively opted into or was shared by someone i chose to follow/friend.
analogdreams··on Meta shares drop 20% on Q4 earnings miss, weak outlook
don't follow content that makes you uncomfortable. seems like an easy fix any user can implement on their own.
analogdreams··on Facebook shares plunge on weaker-than-expected earnings
Maybe if they spent less time censoring/de-platforming they would have eyeballs to sell those ads to.
analogdreams··on Meta shares drop 20% on Q4 earnings miss, weak outlook
Maybe if they spent less time censoring/de-platforming they would have eyeballs to sell those ads to.
analogdreams··on YouTube permanently bans Fox News host Dan Bongino
In a week or so whatever they claimed to be 'misinformation' will likely be the new talking point of the CDC and another group of users will have moved on to rumble, gettr, etc. Keep it up Google....
analogdreams··on On Leaving Facebook
What would I do with myself? Anything but sit in another pointless meeting or pretend to care about the latest corporate policy. The focus should absolutely be getting out of the 9-5 as soon as possible.

And I've found it gets worse once you realize you are financial independent or within spitting distance of the early-retirement. It magnifies the BS and makes it easier to mouth off. It also magnifies the concerns around inflation and stock market returns that could chain you to the 9-5 longer than planned.

analogdreams··on I am a New York City public high school student. The situation is beyond control
where is your proof of this statement. this is an assumption, not a fact.
analogdreams··on Latvia bans unvaccinated lawmakers from voting, docks pay
That seems problematic and quite the slippery slope...
analogdreams··on Twitter Blue is now available in the US and NZ
underwhelming. now if they would roll out a feature that ensures i never reread a tweet and shows me a true 'done'/'inbox zero' after my feed has been consumed they might have something.
analogdreams··on Nearly 40% of adults from 25-54 are unpartnered [Pew Research]
that number seems high to me when i look at my social and acquaintance circles, but as an unpartnered person in the age range i can certainly understand it...

the way i personally see it, having essentially made my money and now working only for cashflow and to occupy some time the risks of partnering up are 2 great should a divorce happen.

add to that my political views and lack of interest in raising someone elses kids the dating pool is almost entirely empty unless really pushing the 'age acceptable' limits (not looking for a trophy) and what is left is not attractive to me at all.

what i do wonder about for me, and those like me if the #'s are as high as this study says, is what is going to happen in old age w/ the lack of spouse, children, etc. to assist?

analogdreams··on “looks like Firefox quietly added ads into the address bar”
as much as i hate ads, i'm OK w/ this if it keeps firefox going. i personally can't stand chrome -- i don't know why, it just doesn't 'feel' right to me.
analogdreams··on Limits on Toilet Paper and Cleaning Supplies Are Back at Costco
i think it is more likely a foreshadowing of the further breakdown of supply chains.
analogdreams··on Apple's Texas-Sized Problem
good thing we have employment at will then. apple employees will have little difficulty in finding employment elsewhere should they object strongly.
analogdreams··on Apple's Texas-Sized Problem
...part of me thinks the blue side of the aisle welcomes this law and will use it to change the states colour in the next election cycles.
analogdreams··on Apple's Texas-Sized Problem
While I have mixed feelings on the issue, having paid for an abortion in the past, these reactions strike me as being over the top.

Most workers will most likely be remote from now on meaning they have a choice in what state they work in so they can address this regardless of where Apple chooses to locate physical facilities.

Further, I keep wondering what % of females are having 1 or more abortions for this to be such a critical issue for most?

analogdreams··on FBI held back ransomware decryption key to run operation targeting hackers
I think it's fair to argue we are seeing this in real time right now around Covid and refusals by certain hospital systems to even let people try something like Ivermectin or other off label drugs.
analogdreams··on September 11, 2001 media synced in real-time
i think it was CNN that did that.

i have a memory of trying to find out what was really happening sitting in one of my college's library's after an early morning class and trying to get anything to even respond, much less load. for some reason i remember 'relief' when i finally saw the CNN logo.

analogdreams··on The Coronavirus Is Here Forever
you need to look no further than kamala's vp debate video.
analogdreams··on Alphabet reports Q1 earnings
Has Alphabet given up on the moonshot investments? The $50B buyback surprised me; surely they could do something better with the money at their scale.
