Write code. Play video games. Go walking. Eat food. Breathe.
Here is a fun thing. I work for Vivaldi Browser. Load any of our websites and you see no cookie banner and no mention of partners.
"But wait" you say, "didn't those terrible Europeans mandate the cookie banner!?"
No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because we are not selling all your shit to every company under the sun.
Also those sites with cookie banners are just doing malicious compliance. This was never about the EU requiring cookie banners!

@danhon @pluralistic Why has RCS not been mentioned here?
Nicholas C. ZakasI’m like 50% convinced that JavaScript needs native YAML parsing and serialization.
I find it hard to argue against anything you've said here. I also find it worrying and saddening. I think our relationship with the internet will change dramatically over the coming years.
My feeling is that we'll be communicating more with our real-life contacts and that the "golden era" of meeting and talking with strangers on the internet will come to an end. I would feel duped and like I'd wasted much of my time if I were to engage in conversations with AI. I mean, I stumbled across your post here on Mastodon and I don't know you, but felt I wanted to reply as it's an interesting post. But what if you are a chatbot? I'll have wasted the past few minutes of engaging with you.
On a more philosophical note, perhaps I'm wasting my time anyway, even if you're human? Maybe we could become close friends, but the chances are slim. It's these kinds of thoughts that people will be grappling with. I'm already engaging far less with social media than I used to.

This is interesting. My experience of "pair programming" has been mostly positive. I find working with a partner towards a shared goal more motivating than working alone. The sense of not wanting to let your partner down provides a good incentive for doing good work.
Mapping this experience across to a job-share, I can see how this could benefit employers as well as employees.
It does, of course, depend a lot on who you partner with. In cases where you don't align well with your partner, it can definitely prove a less positive experience. And I guess that's where these apps come in...

Alex RussellThe principles and vision behind this are exactly why we developed Web Components to just *be* HTML. Increasing access, interop, and view-source-ability are precious to those of us who build the platform:
