I don’t care about keyboards as long as they’re not ergonomic; always screws up reach and increases typos

jit bull transpile posted:all I'm saying is that the response would be better when these things happen if there were actual minorities inside these companies amplifying the signal from outside. it's too easy for someone who will never experience the consequences of this poo poo to file an issue like this under nice-to-have and never implement it. totes agree.

"As a technology, Facebook isn’t neutral. It’s actually changing the way we interact with names. Before Facebook how many of your friends’ surnames did you actually know?" Maybe I'm the odd one out (team sports galore) and not the poster, but if they're actually a friend and not "that girl with the funny glasses who Mike knows", isn't the answer to that question more typically "all of them"?

https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/13/18139009/apple-billion-dollar-austin-campus-us-expansion apple is expanding in austin. they are planning a new campus that will take their headcount from 6200 to 15000. so how many years until tech companies turn austin into a mini san francisco? i checked their rail situation, and apparently they have one light rail line with eight stops. also the place looks like a town that urban sprawled itself into a major city. throw in heat that'll roast a nerd like a chook, and it seems like we're already half way there. bubble is bad, so why not make a new bubble?
