- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use a standing desk.
Personally I’m waiting for someone to come up with the laying desk. I want to be fully reclining, with a couple of monitors suspended above my head, and the two halves of my split keyboard on little tables under my hands - Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 2 weeks ago:
Students who think they are chatting privately among friends often do not realize they are under constant surveillance
This is the problem

The shape looks like a Darth Vader helmet, so maybe they could try leaning on the Star Wars theme?

It doesn’t even try?
People are right, this AI thing is overblown - Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals 4 weeks ago:
Maybe wearing a different tinfoil hat every day would mess up a person’s “fingerprint”

I’m not sure how much it would make sense for me as I don’t use Nextcloud for anything else
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I just want a self-hostable open-source alternative to the shitty closed-source IM systems I’m forced to use
I’m sticking with Matrix for now, hopefully some of the issues I’ve had will get ironed out
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 1 month ago:
I wonder how you haggle with an AI
Actually this reminds me of the story a while back about how LLMs give better results if you threaten them with physical violence. Maybe that’s one way to get a cheaper ticket?
- Comment on matrix is cooked 2 months ago:
As long as most rooms of the entire matrix network are replicated on the matrix.org homeserver
Is this a dealbreaker for people though?

- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 2 months ago:
Started running a homeserver recently, trying to get non-techy friends to join, can confirm this is difficult (the main one right now being people using old software on their phones, one friend was running iOS 14 for crying out loud)
Once set up I find it OK as a user
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 2 months ago:
This story marks the loss of another revenue stream for Mozilla. Their business is increasingly reliant on Google’s search deal for money, and if that money stops, they’ll have to face that same reckoning. For example, they won’t be able to afford paying their CEO millions of dollars a year any more.
I think they should start repositioning themselves now as an activist organisation that is fighting corporate interests trying to control the internet. If they can do that, I think a lot of people would pay to use Firefox
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 3 months ago:
Enough internet users are familiar with the adage “if a product is free, you are the product”, through personal experience
I’d be OK with paying for Firefox if it meant that it was stripped of all association with advertisers. And presumably, if Mozilla were freed from that association, they’d be able to make a stronger case for how they’re protecting a free internet
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 3 months ago:
Mozilla should fire their non-technical staff, strongly make the case for how they’re fighting for a free and open internet, and use a subscription model for Firefox to pay the bills

- Comment on YKK’s Self-Propelled Zipper: Less Crazy Than It Seems 3 months ago:
I like the idea of automatically fastening zips in places with limited access (like the tent example in the article), but unless the failure rate is very low, you’d always need a backup fastening technique on hand

I haven’t searched about this so I don’t know, but it’d be cool if there were a way to import/export markdown tables into LibreOffice

Huh, I thought it was called the Mandala effect
- Comment on Looking for ... inventory management, I guess? 3 months ago:
I use markdown too, except I keep the markdown file in a self-hosted wiki (wiki.js)
It’s versioned and accepts git as a backend
- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads 4 months ago:
Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.
I can’t speak for anyone else but no, I would not be fine with that
