And the amount of connections and friends the average person has has been in free fall for decades…

I followed some YouTube tutorial to rearrange all the stuff that can be to make it more like photoshop, which did make things somewhat better

A very successful one with a large extension ecosystem to boot.

Turns out reCAPTCHAs aren’t actually ‘tracking the way you move your mouse’ but just trying to match you to one of the billions of statistical models held in Google datacenters that represent the device fingerprints, personalities, locations, and preferences of every Internet user they track.

And when they fail to match you… then they presume you’re not a real person.

I don’t think phonics are the most critical part of why the kids can’t read.

It’s proven that people who read primarily books and documents read thoroughly, line by line and with understanding, while those that primarily read from screens (such as social media) skip and skim to find certain keywords. This makes reading books (such as documentation) hard for those used to screens from a young age and some believe may be one of the driving forces behind the collapse in reading amongst young people.

If you’re used to the skip & skim style of reading, you will often miss details, which makes finding a solution in a manual infinitely frustrating.

Anti-imperialism should not wrap around to supporting everyone and everything fighting against the imperial core. You can theorize about the social conditions that inevitably led to Putin’s existence or share statistics about development in China, but you shouldn’t ignore it when either does something bad just because “the US is also doing that/something similar!!!”

If only running an appview didn’t require VC level money… I mean it’s still way better than twitter, twitter would have never allowed fed.brid.gy or alternative clients and whatnot but it would still be nice if there was more than one service on the protocol

I think that maybe losing his job at fox news phased him more than he let on

Wow, the emerald mine heir that wants to go to mars is getting support from the ex-KGB agent with a penchant for poisoning. I honestly don’t know why I expected anything different

RIP Cohost

Totally unexpectable!!!

The opposite is true as well! Some people literally can’t read white text on a black background.

Including both light and dark mode is a matter of accessibility!

If you have arachnophobia then it’s understandable 😔

I can block instances myself instance admins, thank you very much.

Ah yes, free trade, the thing that improved the economies of ex-communist countries after the USSRs collapse and is on the path to fixing almost every African nations poverty.

Ah yes, NATO, the “we will only call for (and maybe possibly do something to enforce) human rights if it’s convenient for us” alliance. And I’m sure all it’s member nations have squeaky clean track records when it comes to international politics.

We must ban anyone against these things! That’s dangerous extremist ideology

Ooookkay,

what

Wow, who could have guessed
