The kitchens are an issue, and the larger point about profits is spot on.
We desperately need more affordable high-density housing in the US. Unfortunately these places are often miserable to live in. Noisy, cramped, and cheaply made.
They don't have to be miserable. There are designs, and construction materials and methods that work better.
Working class people deserve more.
My hope is that a notewothy percentage of health care providers will move out of red states. There are shortages everywhere. They'd be welcomed in the more civilized blue states.
A-fucking-men.
Been bitching about this for years to deaf ears.
Old enough to remember when folks took pride in how few lines of code they could write to get something done. Not unreadably dense undocumented code. Just lean, clean, and efficient.
There's still a place for large complex software, but 99% of business apps that just move text strings, datetime values, and decimals around from point A to point B aren't that place.
Black Box Down listeners: "Well...AKSHUALLY...."
Just kidding, I love that podcast.
Cybersecurity is expensive and doesn't contribute directly to profits. It can prevent serious damages (legal, financial, and reputation) but that requires long-term thinking. Most executives don't look past quarterly earnings.
I mostly agree with you.
But I also think it's important to think of the neighbors we disagree with very differently than how we view right wing politicians and corporate executives. Our neighbors may have some shitty opinions and ignorant positions, but they might be decent people at heart. No right wing politician or billionaire CEO is going to be decent at heart.
I'm sort of the opposite. I liked Joplin but found myself needing the features of Obsidian. I do know what you mean about Obsidian getting in the way. While it's easy to start using it, there is a bit of a learning curve to using it well. And it can be a little quirky-annoying at times.
I think that's one reason there are so many software offerings in this space. There's a wide range of preferences when it comes to features vs simplicity.
For me, Obsidian is just about perfect without any extensions, but I'm also glad it is extensible if you need them. The configurability and customization, while using standard markup, and keeping the vault storage sizes small were the major pros for me.
Some other products I've tried in this space were just too much for me. Huge save files, overdone UXs, and proprietary formats. Joplin and Obsidian were both a breath of fresh air when I found them.
They're like some arrogant grifter couple from Better Call Saul.
Dumb question, will it be possible to create a browser that will trick the shitty new web into thinking you're using an approved non-ad-blocking-browser while you still block the malware/ads?
It almost looks like the art style is doing a reverse Garfield. It's bizarre and hard to look at.
The people who charge $300 for textbooks are surprised people don't want to pay $300 for textbooks. Typical.
So their cynical move is to send more traffic to reddit at the same time reddit's quality has gone down the toilet. Sounds like Google alright.
