kylesellas··on Teen's tweets from her smart fridge go viral after mother confiscates phone
hahaha agreed
kylesellas··on The Internet golden age that wasn't
Great read, very insightful on the golden age that did not exist for the internet, which I think says so much about the internet especially today with social media.
kylesellas··on The Book Behind Sim City: Jay Forrester's Urban Dynamics
I found this article extremely interesting, particularly when one user said she felt she became a republican within the game through her desire to continuously grow her city.
kylesellas··on Jony Ive: 8 hits and 8 misses from 20 years at Apple
I was wondering if that was the decision. it is well known that apple products should not constantly stayed plugged in and I think putting the charging cable in this location allowed for the battery on the mouse to stay consistent over time.
kylesellas··on Amazon offers $10 to Prime Day shoppers who hand over their data
I am not, just shared my perspective on the matter
kylesellas··on Amazon offers $10 to Prime Day shoppers who hand over their data
Let me clarify - I think massive companies should not have the ability to sell data, i think data has already taken such a massive role on our lives that it is bound to lead to some major incident.
kylesellas··on Amazon offers $10 to Prime Day shoppers who hand over their data
Thats true but I still think it is ridiculous how loosely data is given
kylesellas··on Amazon offers $10 to Prime Day shoppers who hand over their data
This is honestly frustrating to see whenever massive corporations are responsible for creating a deal in which users will be given away data in order to receive a small compensation. Data, especially personal data should not be a means in which anyone can make any sort of financial compensation from. personal data is stolen every day and used against individuals - and by creating a means in which more people will give you their data, the larger target you have from individuals who are seeking to steal others data.
kylesellas··on Twitter Suspends Alex Jones for Seven Days Over Tweet
I'm all for freedom of speech even if that speech includes ideas I vehemently disagree with (even hate speech). However, when speech incites physical violence and can be viewed as a legitimate threat, then it needs to be shut down.

Parents of children who were lost during Sandy Hook received physical threats and death threats because of Jones' comments. That's the line where free speech should be censored.

kylesellas··on Thinking of yourself as an insomniac may be a part of the problem
I've had this exact problem especially on nights before important or stessful events the next morning such as job interviews.

At first, the anxiety of the interview is what keeps me up. Then, as it gets later and I check the clock, I get stressed about the lack of sleep I'll have the next day.

Sometimes getting up, going to another room and getting a glass of water before returning to bed and resetting the process has helped.
