You mention your intense, close connections are with your immediate family. Do you think your method would still work for you if you didn't like your family and were single? Unfortunately, that happens to many lonely males.

Your comment was an interesting read, though. I never before got into the mind of someone who prefers the "feral pack" over individual, more intense connections, and your description worked well with that.

Best of luck to you and also to your daughters and wife.

> Of all the things I mentioned above, the one that bothers me the most is custom scroll behaviour on websites.

While I don't necessarily agree with the entire premise of the article - in particular, a well-designed range date picker is superior to two separate browser-native date pickers - I completely agree that custom scroll behavior needs to disappear.

This one is really nice. Imports in the middle of a file are very ugly but sometimes necessary. This fixes it in a nicer way.

However, it kind of goes against the principle that “explicit is better than implicit.”

And why should they, individually?

It's a tragedy of the commons.

I would expect it to supercharge them at first and become commoditized later on.

It is just like how a digital calculator affected the role of the human calculator, or how an automaton that can code would affect the job of a human programmer.

I understand you don't mean this in bad faith and are just trying to protect the internet from slop.

I just want to say that there is a human behind all of these articles. My intent is not to "spam," but to share what I think are the best practices for better privacy and security. I hope I am helping some people, at least.

Being named John Smith is such an underappreciated superpower.

The fact that you shouldn't use your real info online is clear to many. That being said, is it better to leave the fields empty, call yourself "anon," or create an imaginary online persona with inaccurate data to throw OSINT investigators off?
