I’ve used them the past 3 years for my taxes, great experience and never had a single issue for what that’s worth

They don’t spam my email and phone unlike Intuit (even after I deleted my account)

I’m not sure what the solution is here. Personally, in-person college is a non-starter for a number of health reasons. Online classes was a huge boon to people like me, I never would have been able to get a degree otherwise.

I know I’m in a small minority, and this wouldn’t apply to a large number of courses where online classes don’t make sense, but I don’t think the solution is exclusion.

Also how is gray a male color? If anything I’d say gray is non-binary.

I wonder what percentage of that $167M will go to the ~1400 victims of this hack (that we know about)

The risk isn’t that Signal itself will add AI features, it’s more that it will be built-in to your OS that’s running Signal (Apple Intelligence, Windows Recall, etc). These types watch everything you do on-device by default and learn a ton from your E2EE messages regardless of the intentions of the Signal devs.

Idk why you’d want to get used to it. I’m very lucky to have a job that doesn’t mandate AI use, and as far as I can tell I haven’t been hit by any work AI emails. My social media bubble on Mastodon is extremely anti-AI, I pretty much never have to deal with slop.

On the rare occasion I see some GPT garbage, I either block the sender, or if I know a human is involved I explain how insulting it is and let them know they’re one slop message away from blocked.

Getting used to it is a surefire way to make your communication experience much worse.

In what way is knowing the full legal name of a developer relevant to end users? I work in the App Store analytics space and even I have never once thought “I wonder what the full legal name and address of the app developer is. I’d love to drive to their place physically or mail a letter 1800s style to discuss their app”

The most I’d ever wonder about is maybe their country of origin.

“People on the left think this is good because it makes giving social services easier”

Source? I’d like to meet a single person that feels this way. People on the left in my experience would much rather just give money directly to people, UBI-style. Adding stipulations and verification and administration costs so much money that could just be cash in people’s pockets.

Like, the whole idea of food stamps is that “these poor people are too stupid or deviant to spend money on the ‘correct’ products and services. Daddy government knows best and will restrict the benefits to processed cold food at approved chain supermarkets and gas stations”

Sounds like projection to me

Since when has either party ever cut military spending? I wish Dems were as cool as you say.

Probably a fine article, but I got halfway through and still had no idea what Gumroad is, or what the “creator economy” is aside from people online making money… somehow

I know it’s not common but I’ve kept a client-isolated open wifi hotspot on my property for a long time. You never know when someone might be in the neighborhood and need a connection!

So far, a single client has connected in 4 years and I can’t remember if that was me or not.

Idk, was diagnosed very young and haven’t seen anyone professionally about it as an adult. Tbh I didn’t know there were different subtypes until your comment.

I struggled a lot with impulse control but that’s managed well with meds. I often “zone out” when doing.. well pretty much anything that I’m not very interested in

I’m sure this works for some people. Personally I loathe social interaction of any kind, and mixing that with engineering gets me to my mental/emotional limits much faster.

On my own I can work about 2 hours on and 10 mins off, sometimes for 10+ hours total. If I have a 2 hour collab coding call, that’s about all I’ll do that’s productive that day. I’l literally have to spend the rest of that day mentally recovering from the stress of the call.
