If I read this right, Discord needs to own the content you upload because it makes a technical copy of it in order to create a thumbnail. I'm not sure they are right. Google never asked for any rights when they display thumbnails in searches or doesn't it matter since those images are already published online?

I want a Reddit like search engine so I can down vote all the sites that throw up full screen email subscription overlays or confusing cookie consent forms.

You could put "I hereby willingly and informed give the Company full conservatorship of all my estates and financial affairs" in there, and 98% would click a green button labeled "I have read this, agree and love it".

A cookie consent is the same as any lengthy software license. It's something you click on to remove.

Games should have a grind slider in their settings. People have very different thresholds for it's so easy it’s not even fun and too much of a chore, I'd rather go and scrub my dishwasher.

The solution to too many tabs in a tab bar is here – a second tab bar in Vivaldi.

At first I thought that "no ... no, that's not a solution. That's like giving a person that has maxed his credit card a new card." But ... then this:

You can organize Tab Stacks any way you like while keeping a full overview – drag, hibernate, mute, and even rename as needed

Named stack of tabs, you say? Now I'm intrigued.

You might not have heard about these “real tech” companies—like Zscaler, Anaplan, and Smartsheet—because they mostly sell business-to-business software or cloud services. But all of them are trading more than 100 percent above their listed IPO price. The problematic firms, Cemablest wrote, are those that aren’t pure tech. Either they sell hardware plus software (like the stationary-bike company Peloton) or they own a digital marketplace for humans to transact goods and services in the physical world, like Uber, Fiverr, and Lyft. All those companies are trading below their IPO price.

Just installed Edge Chromium on my work laptop. It's way less clunky than Edge, with faster dev tools and less ... eccentricities. But this makes it really easy for corporations to remove Chrome and say something like there is nothing of importance in Chrome that you don't also get in Edge.

Awww. YouTubes auto caption thing interpreted "Doom Eternal" as "due maternal". That's cute.

Oh, there really is a limit to how many tabs Chrome will try to show you. It will keep opening, but the new ones are out of view.

Slack hasn't, and wont have, the ability to block people since it's a work tool. Discord does have the ability to block people because it's a community tool. So why are so many communities still using Slack? (I'm guessing it's because it's what the members are already using at work)

I click Skip on YouTube ads automatically. So today when I saw an ad that I actually wanted to see, I was so disappointed when it suddenly disappeared!
