I also think it’s cool, but it traded away the basic usability of knowing if swipe down is doing anything or not.
A simple page progress indicator along the side would restore that, and plant this firmly in cool.
(And it did!)
Great info. Awful website design. Thanks for sharing this.
Edit: My usability complaint is fixed!
Maybe Russia thinks she’s unwilling to sell them her country’s national secrets…
“American journalists”… We used to have those.
Return to Office Mandates are trying and failing to mask poor company performance.
I used to buy a lot of stuff off of Amazon, and subscribe to Prime, and Kindle Unlimited, all while their service got a little shittier each year.
But they couldn’t stop there, and decided to go union-busting, which changed it from a personal choice to a moral one, for me.
(And some Sarcasm:) I didn’t think my behavior was enough to cause them all this trouble, but I guess I was buying waaaaay too much shit at Amazon.
Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.
Yeah. I think that’s happening now. The public will discover the Fediverse, but I’m not sure if they’ll be welcomed into every community here.
History tells us there’s also a release valve of a swift brick to the side of the head, one brick per billionaire.
It sounds messier than paying taxes, to me. But I’m not a billionaire, so I can’t say I understand their motives.
This is particularly interesting, since modern organizational theory tells us that Boeing’s primary customers would be much better off with a shift in power toward Boeing’s workers, away from it’s current leadership.
Purchasers of huge airplanes cannot afford to purchase airplanes built under leadership that cuts corners the way Boeing’s leadership lately has.
The striking workers may have an unusual ally here - in Boeing’s customer base, which notably includes the US Government and parts of it’s Armed Forces.
I wish my government would not glorify war in a field of it’s own doody.
Feels like their real goal here is to degrade the rule of law by stretching definitions until words no longer have meaning, so they can do and buy anything they want.
If your software can save lives, I guarantee the people whos lives you saved didn’t forget you.
I appreciate that thought. I don’t believe it. But I appreciate it.
A lot (if not all) of the lives my work saved don’t know anything about the part I played, or even that my software had anything to do with it.
I’m okay with that. I know that there’s families out there that are more whole today, thanks to my work. That’s more valuable to me than any footnote in a history book.
Someday those families will be just as dead as if I had done nothing. But I did do something. Millions of extra moments happened with family members who could have died.
Beautiful things that are eventually forgetten are still beautiful things. To me, that’s enough.
I’ve been on the other side of this, too.
I have no way to thank all the people whose medical engineering work extended my grandfather’s life by decades. I don’t know any of their names.
But, I hope they know that people like me revere their efforts as sacred. (I’ve made some effort on that front, but I know I’ll never thank everyone who deserves my thanks.)
I was going to build some kind of long lasting software that improves everyone’s lives.
I’ve built some genuinely impactful stuff. Some of my work has saved lives.
But that long term worthwhile project hasn’t materialized. Everything I’ve built is now either tossed out and forgotten, or has long overstayed it’s welcome.
I take it as a zen lesson about the ephemeral nature of all things. All we are is dust in the wind - including the stuff we make.
Now I mostly make whatever someone is willing to pay for, and just however well they’re willing to pay for. (Edit: Lately I have the privilege to select employers that I think do some genuine good. That helps how I feel about it. I did a lot of ‘meh’ work on my way to where I am.)
I do make a few handy little things on the side, but I’m no longer burdened with my past delusions of grandeur.
10/10. Would give up the dream again.
Just to make sure the word stays out about the thing some folks are trying to suppress:
Brooklyn Library is offering digital access to all kids aged 13 to 21
Make a budget, each month.
Write down your expected expenses. Keep it simple. Use paper and a calculator.
Rewrite the list, in order of priority, to you.
I’ve met so many people who are scared to do this, yet would be pleased if they did.
Yeah. That’s definitely a bot.
I do like how cheerful it is after being told to fuck off. Hitchhikers Guide’s asshole cheerful doors are becoming reality, but with much more sinister purposes.
And priceless artifacts… All made solely of wood and straw.
I think that I was being fooled - that I was being made to work on a project for free
Yep. Sounds like a scam to get free work.
“the analysis revealed that RTO mandates are more likely in firms with poor recent stock performance and have had no significant impacts on firm profitability or stock-returns.”
I appreciate the good work done in this Lemmy.
The part of this that I find hardest to believe is that it has taken this long, and only come back at him
twicethrice.“Someone is stirred to violence by the loud angry man who constantly spews loud angry rhetoric” is a relatively easy prediction.
