From years of being bored, unsatisfied, or struggling in various jobs and industries, I finally feel like I have come home.
I'm so happy to join an industry with such brilliant, interesting, and gloriously nerdy people - I mean this in the best possible way!
I have attended both Beyond Tellerrand Düsseldorf and CSS Day 2024 and, wow. Huge thank yous to the organisers, speakers, and to the many warm and funny fellow attendees I had the joy to socialise with.
@stefan@davidbisset I get that there are some specific examples that might be good use cases, but yeah... like you say, wouldn't some specific solutions be better? Like, a better searchable browser history, better document saving / syncing?
Recording literally everything you're doing at all times seems such a blunt instrument for the (I imagine) extremely rare times a user would resort to it.
Almost all the ads I see on YouTube’s “pretending to be a video” slots are low quality rubbish, but I find it surprising how many are also using the religious angle to ply the grift.
It’s never surprising that the anti-sex ones are always some “tidy, respectable” white guy.
I tried reporting this one but essentially it doesn’t fit any of the categories Google feel are valid complaints.
@sarajw@cferdinandi@mattwilcox I'm always surprised how far the church as an institution is removed from the word of Jesus.
Stuff like "give away all your possessions" is really central to the new testament. Jesus literally says you can't be rich and get into heaven. I don't think a lot of so-called christians got that memo lol. And then the church has a guy on a golden chair in charge? Like... really?
I'm a total atheist btw. But that doesn't mean I don't know what's in the bible.
My first ZakStunts pro podium!
And a win on the amateur leaderboard.
A crazy track this month, full of illusions and invisible features due to clever tile placement. Fully exploiting all the quirks that make this game what it is today. #dos#dosgaming#retrogaming#stunts#zakstunts
The reason why Microsoft Recall attracts huge amounts of hate, while TimeSnapper.com has generally positive customer interactions comes down to 3 things:
Motive Weapon Opportunity.
I don’t have a motive to surveill the world, Microsoft have shareholders, middle managers etc.
Weapon - We both write software that could be used for harm. But we’re genuine about user’s informed ongoing consent, having filters etc.
Opportunity - we don’t have enough servers to spy on people. MS do.
@secretgeek I think a huge factor is also the feeling MS pushes this onto its users without them asking for it, which is very different from seeking out a tool to do the job and finding one, such as what TimeSnapper.com provides.
