I'm the opposite. I think website = sanboxed, native = pownage so whenever I can use a website version I often prefer it over a native app.

I use photopea all the time now. it's available on every machine, even machines I don't have permission to install software on

And they absolutely love that you, and every other user, sends them every original image you choose to edit

So when you make a meme or whatever and repost it somewhere else, guess what, they know who did that!

That's... a long way from what I actually said, which is that it's fairly unusual for a Western ally to be dependent on infrastructure provided by a company lead by an-unstable-seeming guy whose screechingly bad takes on Twitter include an obsession with endorsing their enemy's talking points.

The takeaway that everyone is failing to appreciate is very simple: nobody should be paying any attention to what is being said on twitter.

As in, a person can be a screeching lunatic on twitter yet have two companies that are hitting milestone after milestone.

The achievements are what's relevant but everyone is glued to what's tweeted.

It's not a hard lesson to learn.

Good call. The author of this book is a marketer and "media strategist," with an obvious focus on social media. He was great at plastering subtle ads all over relevant threads and subs over on reddit. Nice to know that he too has figure out reddit has gone to shit and is also looking for greener pastures..

Internet 'stoics' are ruining stoicism as they are ruining most other forms of philosophy by bastardising it and regurgitating it in the form of easily-consumable self-help pablum

A huge amount of which appears to be consumed and re-re-gurgitated by adolescent gamers

Is there any way to disagree with this comment without being disregarded as resentful?

Disagree? It's ad copy promoting a self-help book.

I visited US a couple of years ago and to this day I still think of how smooth all the websites felt over there.

15457345234 · a year ago

Yeah it's a 60Hz country, it affects perceived vehicle and pedestrian/animal movement too - everything's noticeably a bit smoother to the eye, it takes a while to get used to it.

The first time I went there I spent about half the day in the park tossing frisbees to dogs just to marvel at how smoothly everything seemed to move.

It's sort of like the twist at the end of Soylent Green. The real twist isn't that "Soylent Green is people!" the twist is that you can see this with your own eyes, shout it in the street, but ultimately no one really cares.

15457345234 · a year ago

I think a lot of people do actually care, but you'll never be able to determine that from the internet because on every social platform the discourse on every controversial issue is 1000 bot comments for every real comment.

The vibe on today's internet when it comes to weird tech bros is 'we made this space, applaud us on it or leave it.'

Many people have chosen option 2.

I wonder how does he actually work as a digital nomad. Internet on DB trains is massively unreliable, there are entire patches of country that are not covered by mobile signal.

> I wonder how does he actually work as a digital nomad.

I suspect the secret here is that a lot of people adopting this type of lifestyle produce really mediocre output and some way or another fit into the gaps at a large company that doesn't conduct aggressive performance reviews.

Everyone is different but I find it hard to believe that high quality code is generated from working consistently in that type of environment. Perhaps lots and lots of boilerplate.

Heh, we've went from "they were no angel" to "surely it will be proven they were no angel".

I think there's more going on here than merely a piracy investigation, it just has that smell to it.

But now that I see that RCN was acquired Nov 2020 (a pandemic acquisition) I'm back to agreeing that it's about RCN, not this Mr. S.

I question the credibility of people that use broad hyperbolic generalizations like this.

They're looking for any and all publicly declared interactions between this person and their ISP that indicate their ISP had knowledge of them using public trackers, warned them against using public tracking torrents, and did nothing when they continued to use them.

ie. Evidenced of ISP knowledge and lack of follow through.

15457345234 · a year ago

Could be, I guess.

Still intriguing
