Just went back to sublime from Obsidian for note taking. Nothing beats the speed of sublime (aside from CLI text editors). Obsidian is cool but too slow and filled with micro-annoyances that I just dont experience with sublime.

Is unreal any better on linux or do you expect foss platforms like godot to significantly increase in useage?

I would say the person is not necessarily a bastard until they put on the uniform. Always exceptions, but we all have to work and unfortunately most honest people's professions today are ethically dubious to varying degrees. Especially in tech.

You just described what is known as "user testing". They can happen in person, like a focus group, or remotely. Companies reach out to the public for "random" users that fit the given criteria and are paid for their time. You can also use a 3rd party service who will pair you with random testers, for example https://www.usertesting.com/

Same, via a Raspberry Pi :]

The argument is that self driving vehicles set a false expectation that the driver can relax-- bad design

lesswrong.com maybe

Hn is a great forum for it though, all things considered.

The amount of research that needs to be done to purchase even the most basic stuff online is beyond paralyzing. I hate shopping irl but I think I hate online shopping even more.

Scruff isn't too buggy but also insanely priced for basic features. Very gameified, "pay more to interact with better men".

It's practically extortion considering a substantial chunk of the gay male population no longer go to bars to find dates anymore because of the apps to begin with. Another big tech bait & switch

Why should Americans care about "economic performance" when they are seeing little benefit of it. The .1% etc.

I'm so jealous, I cannot get SHIT done at home. Can't focus nearly as productively without the cold clinical and fully equipped office enviornment.

Accuser could be guilty of malicious intent (lying), Uber assumed their innocence in that respect.

I agree with you.

>Companies far too commonly assume guilty until proven innocent

Company assumed the rider was innocent until proven otherwise. Two way road here, being a middleman-as-a-service.

I couldn't disagree with you more. That employees must work (yes, this is work by your own admission) outside working hours is at the very least ironic. It's an insidious form of exploitation.

Team building happens by relying on each other while doing your actual jobs. That is the extent of a relationship needed among colleagues in a professional context.

>Not even Apple has support periods that long, and they sell $1000+ devices.

I wouldn't use that as a model for comparison, it's particularly despicable

Honestly still much better than asking a forum. The hostility from forum regulars always seems more intense--less masked as a "terse down to brass tacks" attitude and more-so blatant laziness, misplaced frustration, etc. Also, forum posters tend to waste much more time as every other post is likely to be a joke or a tangent idea, as if it were casual dialogue in a chatroom.

The same mechanisms that make SO kind of brutal have also helped revolutionize asynchronous online Q&A.

Can we define automation then because my understanding was that it quite literally means sans human labor. Are you saying it's merely a political buzzword?

>subsidizing the price of their products until users couldn't live without them

A good, more succinct way to describe the bait and switch scheme uber, airbnb etc have performed in their respective markets

The great thing about emojis is that you can still use emoticons :). Don't even have to worry about its skin color. Ambiguity is a feature. It also doesn't try to steal your attention like everything else on the modern web.

Wouldn't that be a good reason not to spend money on ads?

>It's impossible to verify

1. Determine sales rate 2. Deploy ads 3. Determine delta sales

Am I missing something?

I would say there's a huge performance gap between the most powerful Pi and even a Nuc mini from 6 years ago. Hard to consider them in the same ballpark, use-case-wise.

That's weird. Twitter has been the worst offender. If you let a page sit for a seemingly random period and come back, the page will reload and leave you back at the top. Doesn't happen to you?

>You could be reading a post, it randomly refreshes, and you will never find that post again due to the search being unusable.

I experience this with every platform that utilizes infinite scroll. Infinite scroll seems deliberately unsearchable in favor of slot machine style "who knows what's next" scrolling. Pretty degenerate.

Ebay's platform has a seller/buyer protection system i.e., seller ratings etc. CL is a hands-off platform.

Anyway they're a little different. I don't think you'd purchase an item to be shipped off CL? It's more a local community board.

One doesn't even need to observe all this to recognize the simple fact that craigslist is much nicer to use than twitter, reddit, tiktok and craigslist hasn't changed in decades I dont think.

There also needs to be a person/people on standby to support riders or pedestrians in case of issue. Last thing the world needs is another supportless automated monolith where you're simply fucked if anything happens

If I had to pay for all of the web platforms I use (on top of paying for internet access to begin with) on a daily basis I would have no disposable income. And I'm not ready to live in a world with even more micro micro-transactions. I don't think the world is economically capable of supporting the web the way big tech companies wish to be supported if they couldn't continue just selling our harvested data alone.

Sorry but why are these people still putting their dollars in the hands of Musk at twitter at this point in time? You're asking for trouble.
