"Work from home is the tits. But lack of whiteboarding sucks."

Literally the only thing I miss

I think it does all of this really well... Especially as someone coming from the dystopia of permissions management that is Atlassian, I really like notion.

You can also just not use these services.

I suspect we will eventually bifurcate as a society - those that are inextricably online, abstracted away from reality, and those that say "to hell with this, I'm looking elsewhere" and hit the power button.

I think this is more a data point towards the quiet disappearnce of community / the steady march towards pervasive isolation

I will try my best here...

Near every thought in your head is an abstracted away primal urge. Hunger, fear, security, etc - We justify and express these urges with our actions and thoughts and interactions each day. This mesh of impulses eventually creates patterns of behavior that form our identities.

We go about our lives viewing the world through the lens of this identity, with even our most selfless actions being driven by a reason derived from the rule set of the identity. This rule set is the "ego"

Ego death then is the temporary dissolution of the guiding ruleset of the identity. It is a self, without the self. You exist, but, often for the first time in your life, your mental and emotional rule set does not.

Often, without the blinders of the ego blocking a view of the world, a person experiencing ego death feels the unimportance of their existence - not in a bad way - but in a universal matter of fact state, shared by everything else. This is often the "awe" of ego death

>But zoom out and what you had was just an enormous machine converting human ambition into noise.

Ah, the story of a generation

Silently screaming "Why?!" As a scroll

Whoa there fellah. Maybe take a breath your self.

Hopefully we come full circle back to game lobbies. Game lobbies and fixed servers were the micro communities this article is dancing around. It worked remarkably well in the early days. I know I certainly miss it

I think to OPs point, we keep hearing that same line and I've never once seen a productionalized version of these

Kneejerk contrarian response

This is hilarious

I found it on the front page...

It's a potato. Don't give them your click.

It's interesting that we're so afraid of cancelling projects because it's seen as wasteful...and yet deeper we march into the swamp.

Whoa, forget the train, folks check out this website. This is active??

Right but why not a specific carve out instead of a loop hole? If it's called "men's" the intention is clear.

If it's called "mixed league" the intention is clear

I always thought the more elegant approach to all of this was to add a mixed sex league. Keep the traditions, add a novel new one, and let people consent to who they want to compete against and watch

I call bull shit. Sorry this guy had a bad time but this sounds like a nonsense story

Just give people the option to turn off algos. "I do not consent to suggested content"

My friend, I assure you there was a lot of shitting at the beginning as well.

Was real stoked for them at first, ended up tossing the bag midway through

It's really hard to discuss this without making overly broad statements.

For my personal expense, I have found a lot of men view other men as competitors to be guarded against. You can't begin to work with the building blocks of trust and communication without getting past that first barrier. So we often just stop at the gate.

Just bring back bulletin boards with mods

I think this is a carry over from the early 2000s boom and bust mindset. That if you jump in early enough on nearly any technology, you'll become a billionaire. So hop on board our burning platform!

In general, we as a society have not adjusted to technology. We've gone through to much change to have any stable base lines. So we're going to float in insanity for a while until things finally settle down. Probably 2 wars, a famine, and several periods of resource scarcity away still, but we'll get there one day...

There was never a demand for this, but a lot of paid hype being blasted into confused faces.

How are you using Gemini in HA?

This man is a cartoonish bond villain.

I left fi because the service was bad outside of Metro areas and didn't trust them to not arbitrarily shut down. It felt stagnant as a service which implied it was coasting along with no one at the helm

I like the idea of this. This teaches an at-a-glance perspective which I suspect is useful when you're standing next to the pile of rocks thinking on your next rock. I'll probably futz with this going into this summer.

In general I really like the idea of physical skill simulators like this. There are people who want to learn, but can't find a teacher irl for one reason or another. If we want to preserve these skills we need to start connecting the curious to effective training methods

The general themes here are correct. There is, at a minimum, a derth of intelligence and responsibility both in the white house and across the country's leadership. There are no guards rails, no one looking out for anyone but their billionaire backers.

The idolization of billionaires as paragons of leadership has led to average men with above average income convincing themselves they're an inch short of god.

We'll need a correction, many corrections even, to put this fad to bed.
