Man oh man did I read that title wrong and was completely confused


Do you have something else going on perhaps? The very top item on that FB link was an ad, followed by 2 posts, then another ad


Not that I know of. It is a bit weird that for me it shows the same posts in my normal container with uBO enabled, and in a new container with uBO disabled: no sponsored ones. But when visiting facebook.com straight away I do get ads/sponsored posts. Probably I did go over all FB settings once to disable everything possible. Perhaps it's that.


What do you do when "voting with your wallet" makes you unhappy?

I'm not here to bash Linux, Android, Apple, or Windows. I like windows (10 at least) better than OSX or any distro for desktop use. I like iPhone better than Android.

Voting with my wallet just means I'm not as happy as what I currently have chosen.


> As a comparison point, many people shoot street photography "from the hip", aiming the camera at the rough spot they want to get with a forgiving aperture setting (around 8 or more).

Interesting you say this as I have been on my photography journey these last 2 years and keep hearing the opposite opinion: People "cheating" by using a low aperture so they don't have to think about the entire composition as it gets blurred out.


Because street photography is very spontaneous it’s pretty common practice to set an aperture of 8 and just snap away - it’s a helpful trick for rangefinder cameras that often take some time to pull focus.


For those who want to know the science behind : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field


Its cheating because you don't have to think about focusing your lens. At f/8 you have a reasonable hyper-local distance, and so for instance everything from 2m to infinity is sufficiently sharp.

This kind of advice was given before the advent of good enough autofocus where indeed you've rely on the machine to focus your imagine. But at the same time you delegate the choice of the subject to the machine instead of spontaneously capturing "everything".


Hyperfocal. Not hyper-local.


Indeed, my autocorrect and lack of rereading is to blame.


i'm not sure you can call the ethos of "f8 and be there" cheating when it's how every major street photographer operated


Small F/ number = high-aperture.


A password manager can both take care of remembering unique passwords and allow privacy options


Hard to convince users that they need to be using a password manager if you run a SaaS. Also when things like LastPASS getting hacked are on the front page... imagine advising people to use that one! (I'm guilty of recommending LastPASS many years ago, before their first breach).


Good luck getting people to use one! Even when they do, the UX is a nightmare.


> House after house where no front yard has anything for anyone, and quite long distances before you get somewhere you might be welcome, or have a chair.

This is very bizarre to me. I never once thought about a chair as a child. _If_ you got tired you just took a seat anywhere or just laid down.

An empty lawn was the perfect place to play any number of things. Even better was when 2 empty backyard lawns connected and there wasn't much/any landscaping for some really big activities.


There's a difference between picking a car out of a lineup to play in a game and taking (a lot of) money to buy a Ferrari.

I too would pick fun/weird stuff to play, but if I had Ferrari money I wouldn't be touching this.


I was in web agencies since like 2002-2015, always got PSDs from either clients or internal designers


100%. I was always told to slice the PSD, fireworks never entered the conversation in the agency world I was a part of.


> even Apple's own executives were sometimes surprised by the internal financial reports.

Was this recorded or just people drawing lines between Epic's expert witness claims and the executives trying to down play them?


we take a webcam to keep eye on dogs sometimes. I use a travel router for that


This is a really fair example.
