throwaway123x2··on Avoiding Leetcode Anxiety
How do you pick representative problems on leetcode? He says to pick 100-150 and master them... how do you know which ones to master?
throwaway123x2··on Fortnite’s cash cow is Playstation, not iOS, court documents reveal
Tomb Raider Go is great! One of the few games on mobile that were worth paying money for. Can you recommend any others like it?
throwaway123x2··on Prank Windows XP simulator
Oh God, even though I knew what it was, my heart still skipped beats at the BSOD and the reformat
throwaway123x2··on Why Microsoft Wants Discord
That would be a nightmare. It currently takes anywhere between 2 and 5 redirects to log into one of my MSFT accounts.
throwaway123x2··on Ever Given Container Ship Fan Fiction
These are so hilarious. How are people that clever? I'm dying.
throwaway123x2··on Equivalent of 97% of Scotland’s 2020 electricity consumption was from renewables
Blockchain, obviously. /s
throwaway123x2··on Gnome 40
does it have compiz?
throwaway123x2··on Gnome 40
Still no match for Gnome 2's UI. RIP that old interface, the best of the *nix desktops.
throwaway123x2··on How Big Tech Is Importing India’s Caste Legacy to Silicon Valley
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
throwaway123x2··on How Big Tech Is Importing India’s Caste Legacy to Silicon Valley
Does caste matter for Muslims and Christians in India?
throwaway123x2··on Multinationals face pressure to relocate headquarters to Saudi Arabia
I'd love to hear more specifics if you have em! I have a fascination with that kind of incompetence and the reasons for it.
throwaway123x2··on Flutter 2
Oof remember when PhoneGap was the next big thing? RIP
throwaway123x2··on WhatsApp to move ahead with privacy update despite backlash
I'm on an AT&T MVNO in a big US city so I don't think so. VoIP is 9/10 times better than copper for me. Sometimes whatsapp does get weirdly laggy and I have to switch back to cell, but the drop in audio quality is noticeable.
throwaway123x2··on WhatsApp to move ahead with privacy update despite backlash
We do get lag on whatsapp every so often. I'll give signal a shot, thanks!
throwaway123x2··on WhatsApp to move ahead with privacy update despite backlash
Whatsapp voice calls are pretty much the only way I can communicate with foreign family. Actually even locally, sometimes whatsapp calls are much better over wifi than cell calls over towers, it's kind of ridiculous. I don't even bother calling frequent contacts over cell any more.
throwaway123x2··on 1977: Zork
This looks great, thank you!
throwaway123x2··on 1977: Zork
Does anyone know of tools to make very basic text games and publish them to the web... like Choose Your Own Adventure type stories?
throwaway123x2··on Half Doses of Moderna Vaccine Produce Neutralizing Antibodies
Food is highly regulated by the government. All those farm subsidies paid for by taxpayer money are essentially a form of socialism for farmers.
throwaway123x2··on Leaving Mozilla
FireFox is my main driver and I still use it on Android... but I have to say the android refresh wasn't great. It's full on random usability errors, it crashes, and they started curating extensions for mobile.

That said, I do appreciate all the work FireFox devs put in to give us a Chrome alternative. Misfires happen. I hope FF for Android keeps getting better with time.

throwaway123x2··on America's 1% Has Taken $50T From the Bottom 90%
Again, what's the alternative?
throwaway123x2··on America's 1% Has Taken $50T From the Bottom 90%
How do you run the economy without interest?
throwaway123x2··on Don’t Underestimate the Power of a Walk
Good luck trying to muster the courage up to walk in the midwest winters I live in. Summer is so amazing here and winter has got to be from the pits of hell. No wonder most people have seasonal affective disorder.
throwaway123x2··on Google, Apple cave to Pakistan pressure to take down apps by Ahmadiyya Muslims
People say the same about Muslims in general in the west and we get pretty outraged. Why don't we get outraged when Muslims do the same to their minorities?
throwaway123x2··on Google, Apple cave to Pakistan pressure to take down apps by Ahmadiyya Muslims
Pakistan's attitude towards Ahmadiyya is trash. It's ridiculous to me as a Pakistani that a country born to counter the persecution of minorities should so blatantly persecute them itself. I genuinely cannot process the hypocrisy.
throwaway123x2··on Firefox Relay
I have a .family TLD as my primary address that gets refused because of bad regex half the time and consigned to spam the other half :(
throwaway123x2··on An update to storage policies across your Google Account
Heh I remember when they changed the 6MB limit to 2MB
throwaway123x2··on Turning my smartphone into a boring productivity tool
My issue is FireFox. I can't not have a browser on my phone, but at the same time, it's what leeches most of my time!
throwaway123x2··on No More Google
Yup, this is me. There is no alternative to Google Voice, which is sad... it's such a neat service.
throwaway123x2··on The persecution of the Uyghurs is a crime against humanity
Except he actually encouraged China to continue its concentration camps.

I'm very anti-Trump (being a brown guy it's hard not to be) but his China policy is much better than any of the last several Presidents'. That said, I wish he had more of a human rights mindset and less of a money mindset. You can bet that if some aspect of the trade balance hinged on the Uighurs, he'd be advocating for it.

throwaway123x2··on 1000 Years Before Darwin, Islamic Scholars Were Writing About Natural Selection
I mean it predated Darwin by a lot, we shouldn't be surprised it has its faults.
