Pretty interesting how many people are jumping into comments to discredit the source but no one suggesting it isn’t true.

I think they meant that publisher should have rewritten it.

Also, the community rules allow for adding context in [brackets] as long as it is not editorialized.

Yeah, Trump didn’t help, but I think it’s more to do with a decade of private equity dropping trillions of dollars into industries that never return any value.

I think sometimes we forget that citizenship in ancient Greece was reserved for wealthy bloodline males who owned land and slaves, and were able-bodied and politically unproblematic.

Sure, Greek democracy was an important first step, but it was functionally just an expansion of the aristocracy. Let’s not romanticize it overmuch.

Yeah, adulting is hard. But then you do it and you realize that you can do hard things. That feels pretty good.

Or you make a mistake and learn an important lesson; an expert is just someone who has made every possible mistake in an area.

Then eventually hard things stop feeling so scary.

I’ve reported a lot of obvious (but not overt) neonazi content on meta and it almost never gets taken down. Maaaaybe 5% on the high end. It has to be extremely overt to register. Obvious dog whistles like “the Austrian leader was right,” using emojis like 👃, or 🧃 to make hate speech against Jews, 🐵 for African Americans, etc. slides right by.

From an evolutionary standpoint, we have the most advanced pattern recognition in the world. It is, in some sense, what makes us human. It is also the root of our capacity for language, reasoning, music, etc.

Looking for exceptions to complex patterns is key to our survival over great lengths of time.

I don’t get it. What is your fixation on wealthy people?

April 1 - “lol check out this silly thing that Google maps is doing!”

April 2 - ( ˶°ㅁ°)

I had to do the unlimited plan tbh.

It offers AI search, but you have to click it or ask a question - I think it’s similar to DDG in terms of including it.

It really works as a complete search solution with maps, images, video, translation (actually the best translation site out there).

I find that I get good results, without much AI slop, SEO garbage, etc. When I use Google, DDG, or Quant on devices that are not logged in, I definitely notice it takes more effort to get to get to the results I want.

For me, it’s worth it.

Jewish people bless their children to be “like Ephraim and Menashe.” They are two of the sons of Joseph and pretty minor characters in the story, but they are the first brothers who are treated without favoritism and actually get along.

That’s awesome. I’ll check it out.

(Still should be the default lol)

Nope. It’s always safe to ignore any articles about “kids these days”

My middle name, yeah.

I love FUTO keyboard. I think you can set up other voice inputs, but I’m not sure. I do know that you can use the voice input with other keyboards. It’s honestly the best voice input I’ve ever used. It works better than Google or Microsoft. It’s faster than other implementations of the same library.

A lot of people have said that the gesture typing is bad, but I’ve never had trouble with it personally.

Heliboard is also a great choice - I used it for a while before switching to FUTO. If you are an open source enthusiast, it is the best option by far IMO. FUTO has the source available for audit and community contributions, and is privacy respecting, but it is debated whether the license is truly FOSS.

Isn’t it necessary to launch closer to the equater? Or is that not really necessary for modern rockets? They get something like a 500mph speed boost at the equator compared to Nova Scotia.

There is an inherent cost to internet freedom from using chromium browsers. It gives Google, which controls the back-end, leverage to redefine how the internet works. It’s not as though they haven’t already done it on multiple occasions.

People will say things like “some websites run better on Chrome” as though that’s a selling point and not a red flag.

I’m not saying no one should use it or develop on it, but you have to be okay with the real cost.
