The future of the web is AI slop articles apparently.

I'm not sure if there is any use case that could convince me to mount an internet connected device to my head at all times.

To think that previously upon hearing "system so insecure it could be penetrated by a fly" I would have thought it a ridiculous hyperbole

You're giving the government too much credit. They're not even that competent at malice. It's the large companies that control it by lobbying, not the other way around.

There are definitely less in high school, but has college really changed that much? I'm a student right now, and while I'm not involved with it, it definitely seems like Greek life people always have parties going on.

Wait until this guy finds out about htmx

Genuinely curious--what's a country that doesn't have a barbarous cultural history?

Copied from the study

"To determine whether the measured effects were actually due to receiving the basic income and not, for example, to broader societal developments, the Basic Income Pilot Project was designed as a randomised controlled trial. This ensured that the participants in the control group were so-called 'statistical twins' of the basic income group. This meant that they were very similar in their sociodemographic characteristics and differed mainly in whether or not they had received a basic income.

Both groups were essential to the success of the study. Only by comparing their experiences could scientific conclusions be drawn.

To prevent bias, care was also taken to ensure that both groups included equal numbers of ideological supporters and opponents of basic income.

The study focused on people between the ages of 21 and 40 living alone in a household with a net income of between €1,100 and €2,600 per month. We explain why these characteristics were chosen in our journal."

I'm one of the people that uses neovim, a tiling window manager on nixos, and a weird split keyboard.

It's true that it will lead to healthier wrists and more productivity, but thats not the point. I know people with incredibly unergonomic setups and habits (vscode with membrane keyboard and a chronic overuse of the mouse) that get around the same or more actual features implemented as me. There might even be something to be said for more friction forcing you to think more.

The reason most of us do it (at least if we are honest with ourselves) is because it's fun---and that's ok. Jumping around in vim on a split keyboard gives me the same joy that watching my first lines of code execute in Gamemaker Studio 2 did in 8th grade.

It's always worth investing to make your work joyful.

I would argue is that what we need for healing and understanding is more brave trans and gay people in these spaces.

It's a lot harder to hate a group when your kind neighbor is one of them. Debate and rational arguments dont actually convince most humans. Kindness without the expectation of anything in return and possibly even hate does.

Not just for math kids--good for anyone.

I have a "daybook" thats always with me. Each day gets a header with the date. I treat it as a "cache" for what I'm working on. Math problems for school, jotting down ideas for programming, having a dialog with myself while debugging (also a good tool).

When one gets full you put it on the shelf. Fun to look back on what you were working on a month/year/5 years ago

This is probably the worst argument for banning tiktok. You can choose to delete the app. You can choose to not look at your phone.

I use the app "minimalist phone" as well as screen time restrictions. You can do the same.

Linux won't be popular on the desktop because normal people don't change the operating system on their computer. They either dont know how (because they dont need to) or dont care because everything works fine.

I think Chromebooks will continue to get larger market share, as plenty of people just need a web browser, but that's about it.

Took me 2 days or so
