It doesn't have to be the artists optimizing. It could be that everyone makes whatever they want but those who happen to make shorter songs are pushed up and those that make longer songs are pushed out.

As someone who was only briefly acquainted with the "buy ugly produce" idea in the first place and thought it sounded vaguely good. I never looked into actually taking action because I couldn't be bothered.

I do think they are being unkind and rude. There were too sides here the "scammers" and the clueless good people who got taken for a ride. Alienating the latter group is a mistake and will just make people avoid you because they will never be good enough for you anyway.

I on the other hand, feel vindicated in my apathy. "Trying to do good is a waste of time, the world is too ungrateful"

My thinking is that people have lossily compressed images in their minds.

I heard chess masters are way better than normal people at remembering legal chess positions but no better than average at remembering illegal ones.

So I think it could be about learning a better representation with fewer artifacts.

Irc has been on the market for a long long time, but slack won anyway.

Maybe the extra features saved users more time then they lost from running bloated JavaScript.

I'm always suspicious when people say something can be done. Why isn't it the default then? Because there is some drawback to that choice. But what is it?

at this point these scam phone calls may be nearing the majority of the phone calls placed in the USA, so it's going to be a huge financial disruption to the carriers when they have to give up their game.

That's a shortsighted perspective. phone numbers will only survive if they solve the spam problem.

Many people don't pick up from unknown numbers anymore. It's just a matter of time before legitimate people stop trying to call as no one responds anyway.

What I like about keypass is that it's not networked and not running in the browser, making the attack surface a lot smaller.

Keypassxc having such features(and apparently the old network protocol was vulnerable lol) is for me a strike against it.
