  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

    Jump

  • There are great songs and albums in all genres.

    There are terrible songs and albums in all genres.

    Listening to an album as it was released, front to back, is the best way to consume music.

  • What it's like to be a developer in 2024

  • This is the real answer. Stop using Google search.

  • US home prices have soared 47% so far this decade, outpacing all of the growth seen in the 1990s and 2010s

  • What does I-4 zoning stand for?

  • US home prices have soared 47% so far this decade, outpacing all of the growth seen in the 1990s and 2010s

    Jump

  • Ok, so then what is the difference in an area zoned I-4 vs R-1.

    And yes, I understand the historical context, but that’s not the topic of conversation. We are talking about their current use.

  • They are purposefully anti-housing. That is the point. And no, it is not to drive prices up but instead to ensure someone doesn’t buy the place next door and turn it into a toxic waste processing plant.

    Zoning laws serve a good purpose in many locations. They also serve to maintain NIMBYism, but that is a second order effect.

  • Small, well-built Chinese EV called the Seagull poses a big threat to the US auto industry

    Jump

  • Ahh yes, when a product advertises that it is “well built” that is a massive red flag.

  • Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira

    Jump

  • This is just the public warning to stop using square space. Once the PE vultures are in, the product will be made worse and more expensive until it shuts down for lack of “profitability”and growth.

  • YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

    Jump

  • That is absolutely a solution. But what I’m talking about is a way to monetize while keeping the service free but without showing ads.

    This is the billion dollar idea. If not trillion.

  • YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

    Jump

  • This just in, people don’t like ads. At all. Most people.

    It is time to find a new business model that works. I’m not smart enough to know what that is so that you don’t piss off users, but whoever figures it out will be a billionaire.

  • The new class war: A wealth gap between millennials

  • Wealth displays on social media

    Crazy idea, so just hear me out.

    What if we all just avoided those shitty apps?

  • Elizabeth Warren slammed for wanting to ‘break up Apple’s smartphone monopoly’

    Jump

  • What monopoly?

    Users have choice. If they want an open system, choose android. If they want a closed system, choose Apple.

    What’s the fuckin problem. Let’s deal with real issues, not this bullshit.

  • When / why / how did "I hope you are well" become a standard email intro?

    Jump

  • 100% agreed. Please and thank you are standard. Pleasant tone and asking to work together rather than giving commands is also.

    It takes so very little extra effort to be nice.

  • In the show "3 Body Problem" (I haven't read the book) the statement was made 'our civilization is no longer capable of solving its own problems'. Would you agree?

    Jump

  • No.

    Humanity always finds a way.

  • Adobe's new generative AI tools for video are absolutely terrifying

    Jump

  • YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps

    Jump

  • This. I always say this exact thing.

    If you provide content for free, expect people to take it for free.

  • Can you separate the artist as a person from the music?

    Jump

  • Yes, always.

    So many musicians and other artists are not only complete assholes, but also complete morons. But, I don’t listen to their music for their antics or their intelligence, I listen for the music.

    I still listen to Johnny Craig and the Lost Prophets even though I know how horrible they are in real life. Because to me, the music is about the feeling that it elicits in me, not about the creator. I don’t care who made a thing, I care about the thing.

    Edit: that said, I’ve not purchased music by those two, and instead pirated it.

  • YouTube is testing a new design that you'll probably hate instantly

    Jump

  • Same. I love it. I go to YouTube home page, see nothing, and then go on doing what I was going to do anyway. It is a nice update.

  • Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites

    Jump

  • But did you even think of the children?

    Sounds like you just want to hurt those precious little ones.

    How dare you!!!!!!!! /s
