We simply stopped the process of innovating new things that actually solve problems.
Remote work life during quarantine has been stressful for many. The problem is that we're still clearly not past the Covid threat, and a rush to bring everyone back together to spur economic activity downtown (based on tax revenue it will generate) will create a lot of technical debt, unexpected hea...

Your frustration with the Internet and modern business is real from every angle; It's not you that needs to fix it.
People are gaming sites and web-based apps now more than ever for profit. Even apps that were traditionally based on increasing productivity are now susceptible to the cash-grab race as the publicly traded companies behind making them are in a scramble to codify investors each year because of the ve...

Now Promoting Untrustworthy Content From Opportunistic Sources If You Have The Money
The ones of us that interact ritually with the Internet know the term "Repost" all too well. We see reposts regularly now (content that repeatedly gets displayed despite having eclipsed public awareness multiple times) because of many reasons. Sometimes it's from a person trying to generat...

Recalling lost principles from the “.Com” era to save modern app development
Hi there, I'm usually a straight to the point guy but there's really a lot of important stuff to discuss here with you, so bear with me... I have also posted multiple times here and probably even on your platforms before concerning your moves as you dug us all deeper and deeper into the very limited...

"Big Brother" is now slightly less scary than "Smart" Brother with our data
Due to the current state of inescapable tracking imposed upon all of us online by "The powers that be" I have been reducing a lot of my normal interactions online to the dismay of many of my friends and family. I fear this may lead to more desires to avoid the Internet entirely as time pro...

The harmful myth of "Individual Exceptionalism"
When you're a kid, everything social tells you you that the world is "exceptional", "magical", and that "anything is possible" but I think too much of that exact ideal is what has gotten us to many bad places historically and especially in current times... Praising norm...

According to many modern search indexes, the past doesn't exist... Unless it was popular or promoted
A funny thing happened today. I wanted to look up a record of promises a company made to me in the past. I tried searching my email and noticed all of the terms of service were embedded with image links that were now long gone. I then went to the WaybackMachine, and could not find any screen shots, ...

And with the blink of an eye, my 8 year old reddit profile was completely gone...
So this month something unexpected happened... After about 8 years of using Reddit, my access to post on Reddit disappeared, and nothing I tried would bring it back.

The reason why you see undesired & emotionally triggering content more often online & why it's a bad omen for us all
If you've ever been online and seen videos of pimple popping, people hurting themselves or each other, cow hoof trimming, or one of the many other categories of undesirable, triggering, illegal behavior, and or gross things that you've never searched for, you may begin to feel a desire to turn off t...
