  • wouldn't that have all the bad things about not having personalized recs (ie: seeing only popular clickbaity videos) while getting none of the benefits (ie: making harder for google to track you)

  • interesting. i did a test before posting and Heartstopper was showing, so I assumed all Netflix shows were there. But Avatar: The Last Airbender only says Paramount+, despite being available in Netflix too

  • religious belief is a mental illness

    religious belief is a coping mechanism. it helps people cope with uncertainty and the unknown, creating a community. It has been in decline because there is much less unknown now that before, although it will probably always exist; since we will never know what happens after death, there will always be some unknown

    Organized religion like Catholicism is a instrument of power, and it has definitely enabled genocide

  • As soon as a company sells shares it takes the route of infinite growth which is impossible

    yeah, the stock market makes that a company that is stable and generates a reliable income each year is seen as bad, but a company that has large grow in obviously unsustainable speed, which doesn't have plans on how to ever become profitable is good (i am not specifically taking about netflix here)

  • from the article:

    Black and Latino people are “much less likely to get arrested because the stops are bogus from the get-go,”

    so, no. the disproportionate number of stops is not because of differences in crime rates. but also, it should be pretty obvious that white people (who are around 30% of the NYC population) should account for more than just 5% of crimes, even considering that more crime will be committed by poor people, and that poor people will be disproportionately non-white.

  • it is. quiet quitting is a bullshit word that corporate created to make people feel guilty for just doing their jobs, because you are supposed to live for work or something. it is all bullshit

  • details in implementation are not and it’s impossible to support all nuances

    what are you talking about? modern web development is hardly a problem (because of the standardization). i am a front-end engineer, i deal with website development every day, and i can count with one hand the times i had browser-specific issues in the last 5 years.

    you know the times that I had to deal with technology-specific issues? with 3rd party vendors for screen readers, which is not as standardized as the web.

    the issues the web had in the past, where it was impossible to support all varieties were intentionally caused by Microsoft creating their own implementation of stuff for IE (sometimes because there was no standard yet; sometimes against the standard). there have been attempts from google more recently to add extra incompatibility (like making Google Drive offline only work for chrome), but nothing as bad as what Microsoft used to do.

    Good luck creating new browsers that can run Vue or React

    what does that mean? vue and react are just libraries, as long as you implement all the required features, they will work. it would be a ton of work, which is why there are only 2 (3 if you consider webkit and chromium different engines) implementations

  • are you arguing that he shouldn't be sent to prison if he is found guilty? or that having him in jail until trial is a mistake?

    the first one: yes, if he is found guilty, he definitely should be sent to prison. he is accused of committing fraud for billions of dollars.

    for the second: yes. his bail was revoked because there was reasonable cause to believe he was attempting to tamper with witnesses

  • modern web doesn't relay on a monoculture of browsers, it relies on an open standard. The monoculture is a consequence of one single company getting too much power in the internet. Flash and Java also weren't open source and standard, that is why the web standard was created

    i do agree that the modern web is a bloated mess, but that is not a different topic
