The art of doing nothing for things that do nothing for you
There is a special power in doing nothing as a protest when you experience injustice. Not complaining, not watching, not buying things, not worrying... Just protesting by just doing nothing. But important to note, the effect is often only felt properly when it is done en-masse, although individually...

Private companies suspending service to Russia post-globalism will create a troublesome precedent
I first need to make a thorough disclaimer in opposition to the terrible actions of war that are occurring in Ukraine at the moment. Innocent lives are under constant threat, and there has been devastating results to actions taken by officials in the current state of war on-going in Ukraine. I would...

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...

"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.
