I think this is a key to the argument for ad-block. If it was literally just banner ads without tracking, sure, go right ahead. Modern web advertising is so much more than that (aggressive tracking, data collection without consent, or worse).
I miss getting those banner ads for decreasing my mortgage rates as a 14 year old who doesn't even pay rent yet
This is an interesting argument. I own my computer and network, should I not be allowed to control what content is or is not allowed in my network? I guess the corollary that would follow from MY argument is that they should be permitted to block me from accessing their site if they see I'm not permitting ads
I will give this a shot. So far it seems like a planning app that includes tasks that i think of. I need something that alerts me of calendar events or upcoming things so that I don't forget about them. The app tells me it can set reminders and notify me but I don't think that is true from what i can see here.
This is probably a holdover from arcade games - many score boards would check for "no no" words like ASS, SEX, DIK, etc and would change it to the initials of a developer or acronym for the company
I get what you mean, but to me that's a bit like avoiding using a shovel because you can dig with your hands. IMO learning these tools, how to use them well, and properly is going to be really helpful. That said I do already feel that dependence creeping in
Love seeing more research done on LSD. Hopefully the more we can prove its positive effects will lead to broader acceptance and safer use by all who are interested. I feel that most "bad experiences" can be avoided by education and ensuring the proper "set and setting", and the more we know about the substance's effects the better.
There's increasing demand for less potent cannabis. Low THC CBD flower and high CBD percentage flower is kind of secondary but you're right that for the most part customer demand is for stronger flower.
Evan Collins and Froyo Tam's work in identifying and labeling modern aesthetic trends is one of the coolest areas of internet research I've come across. They have done loads of scanning of old catalogs and magazines, uploading work to internet archive, etc. and formed the 'consumer aesthetics research institute (CARI)' to catalog it all. Tons of modern internet aesthetic trends like "Fruitiger Aero", "Y2k aesthetic" etc have largely been the work of these two and the CARI community. Their work and research gets constantly copied or shared without source, so I always try to point people back to the community that has done the hard work finding these trends.
yeah even asking for common node library/sdk implementations has been off for me, calling functions with options that are not accepted, or what it thinks they should be
god, the quoted text suggestion thing is really the nail in the coffin. Used to feel like a wizard showing people how to get exact search results, now... well, that's why we're having this discussion
Things that i *know* were parts of the internet, that I could find via google 5-10 years ago are no longer possible to find. I get single page search results sometimes, with not even the capability to keep browsing 'more' pages to see things that may be tangentially related. Google has just decided to not show them at all. Remember when the bottom of the page was "Goooooooooooooooogle" and you could click each "o" to go to that page? Haven't seen that in a while, right?
Very interesting project, It's interesting to see trends coming back to bundled BE/FE. What would you say are the biggest issues you have with Redwood?
right, google plus failed bc it was a platform problem. Who would prefer to use that product over facebook, twitter, etc that duplicate the functionality 90%. ello was another hilarious example (that somehow... still exists...)
The worst offense is that the taskbar, which now is forced into removing labels and forcing grouping of tasks. Gone are the days of clicking Firefox(Window 1) and Firefox(Window 2), they've just copied the mac dock.
Yes you can use registry hacks/tools from github to get the functionality back... but this is just unacceptable.
Bro please stop shilling your stupid terminal replacement. Nobody here wants this. Almost everybody here believes you need to get comfortable working in the STANDARD TERMINAL
