App used by public library systems reveals new features that fill the role of a librarian in a reader's advisory conversation. Wonder why they're shocked at the pushback /s

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isnโ€™t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
