The dimension knob doesn't have user-select: none; and you probably have no idea what that means and why it's annoying.

I would LOVE general extension support for NewPipe. It outclasses the Youtube UX on many fronts but it really needs things like filtering by title to make your frontpage/feeds the way you want them.

What do you mean? It's stock Android. Other manufacturers are putting much more effort into UX in my opinion. Do you mean something else?

> The situation described in The Egg replaces morality with a direct reason not to harm others, because you are the person who will suffer because of it.

Or you've already been said person, in which case it won't harm you anymore. Not to mention that it's inevitable that you will hurt the victim because it already happened from the victim's POV, who you've already been. The egg is in a fundamentally contradictory realm anyway because it's asserting free will and same-universe time travel at the same time.

> the story's premise kinda eliminates our usual ideas about morality

Allowing for psycho maxxing, yes. You can take "I should be a good person" from it, but so far you haven't made a compelling case. There's no reason why you shouldn't be an exploiter in 1-10% of your lives, living off the direct and indirect suffering of the 90%. Kind of like within a modern life you can choose to suffer 90% of the time (work, gym, studying,...) to get a halfway decent 10%.

Re 1, why?

Re 2, yes and in 300 BC you're also expected to already have been 50% alive there.

Your egg can't explain consciousness or the arrow of time either. How is the person in egg limbo, the fetus being developed I mean, conscious? How does the egg limbo work at all? You're gonna need a big hand to wave the (meta-)physics of your little egg universe away.

I probably should have phrased it "do you have a moral right to self-harm"? The starting point is usually that you're allowed to do anything you want, total freedom, and then we blacklist everything we deem immoral. You don't have an explicit license to breathe either, it's just not blacklisted, not by your gov, nor morally. As far as I can tell, many people refuse to morally blacklist self-harm, because there's no victim other than the perpetrator. This is doubly true in the egg scenario where you are also everyone who suffers any secondary harm from the self-harm, like also being every saddened family member. To make a long story short, I'm not asking about goodness of anything here, "ok" just means "granted."

Assuming the premise of the short story is true, of course. Otherwise, what's the point. I can't simultaneously grant the premise and pretend that I didn't just grant it, by denying my knowledge of the rebirth mechanism.

You live on Mars?

Seriously though, for 2k you can get a good gaming PC even in today's market.

Would probably push the engineers to deliver three-way foldables like the Huawei Mate XT from two years ago. The two-way folding phones are wasting a screen and will go down in history as an abomination. The weird 1:1.4 width:height ratio wouldn't be necessary if you could 3x the screen size instead of only 2x. At 3x, the ratio could be 1:1.73 folded, giving you 3:1.73 unfolded (which equals 1.73:1). 1.73 is much closer to 16:9 (1.77) than 1.4 is.

Sounds like a complex question. On average you'll visit like 1.5 sites. Those SQL queries are peanuts compared to an LLM burning through tokens. Besides, for hard questions, the LLM itself might download 30-60 websites to find the info on your behalf, e.g. checking the state of RAM prices.

Do you want to know how many identical questions ChatGPT gets asked every week, recomputing its answer each time because people stopped sharing results? I don't, but I'm sure it far exceeds 3 billion. "How to center a div", "how to install this and that package", "what is this pop culture reference", "who is this famous person",...

even the whataboutism is slop

"Show don't tell" has been a disaster for mankind. I'm sick of authors turning every scene (especially openings) into a puzzle because just telling the reader what's going on would be too low-brow for them. If telling, or even summarizing, your story in a straight manner makes it bad, you just have a bad story. Part of the reason why Harry Potter was so ridiculously successful even before the movies is that it broke this rule. Intended as a children's book this was probably deemed necessary, but in reality it's just better writing, period.
