The industry is still learning how to even use the tech.

Just like blockchain, right? That killer app's coming any day now!

as someone who never really understood The Big Deal With SPAs (aside from, like, google docs or whatever) i'm at least taking solace in the fact that like a decade later people seem to be coming around to the idea that, wait, this actually kind of sucks

During the interview, Kat openly admitted to not being productive but shared that she still appeared to be productive because she gets others to do work for her. She relies on volunteers who are willing to do free work for her, which is her top productivity advice.

Productivity pro tip: you can get a lot more done if you can just convince other people to do your work for you for free

For real though, we must have reached Peak Ad at some point, or at least we're deep into the realm of diminishing returns. This can't go on forever, right? I mean there's a finite number of things that need to be advertised and a finite number of people with a finite amount of time and patience to look at ads. How long until it all collapses?

I like how the assumption seems to be that the thing users object to about "websites track your browsing history around the web in order to show you targeted ads" is... the "websites" part

The whole "autogynephilia" thing has always kind of struck me as similar to the "you gotta stay constantly vigilant because the devil is constantly trying to tempt men into having gay sex" thing. Like, yeah, if you conceptualize it as pathological, you're gonna feel like there's something wrong with you. But it only feels weird when you're feeling it from the "wrong side," so to speak.

(later edit: it turns out maybe I don't actually know what autogynephilia is, so I might be confused...)

I think this blog got posted to sneerclub before though and yeah it's kinda too sad to make fun of. This post is a couple years old now but it looks like they're still blogging in this vein... I hope eventually they're able to come to terms with their true feelings.
