This is an actual thing.

Designing: A new social media website.

I see the author is perhaps ironically rejecting a narrative by using another narrative to advocate for their position.

The author is sort of implying that there's harm to society and the individual by engaging in these narrative arcs without any actual evidence to support their position. Merely a "I feel" and "might" and "could even become dangerous."

Way too many wishy-washy phrases attempting to soften their opinion, but then goes on to present a false dichotomy of absolutes vis-a-vis: You either embrace the narrative structure and have it destroy you, or you reject the narrative structure and live a care free life.

And because of the uncommitted weasel phrases this entire article has the hallmarks of AI generated slop that someone had to rush through for publication because they procrastinated. I'm flagging this one as "yawn."

;-)

I kind of like this A1 ebook idea. Time to get out the wallet.

Not meant as a explaining type of response, merely as a "this is an interesting piece of useless information."

ReFS, with block de-duplication and LZ4 compression has reduced the per-workspace footprint to around 10% of what it was previously. Decreased build times by around 5% and decreased archive, stage and package times by about 80% by deploying MSBuild SDK CopyOnWrite. I also moved the DDC onto the VHDX where the project resides which has further reduced the footprint of the project.

Windows 11 canary channel (still in canary I think) has a modified Win32 that supports CoW FileCopyEx. You can get similar gains by other means on Win10 and Win11 by using ReFS CoW aware utilities.

Have used XFS, BTRFS, APFS and others extensively over the years, so I am glad that Windows is finally getting in on the action.

I did some computer vision research, and an unpublished (though posted on a blog) paper in the area of feline toe bean rejection on a multi-touch display in a predator/prey simulated environment, i.e. a touch screen display with a virtual mouse (prey) interacted with by a real cat AKA "an expensive cat toy."

Prior to TimeSnapper for Mac I ran my own little script, and a companion one for Linux. Now I have TimeSnapper on my Macbook Pro too. And if you ever create a Linux version (or want someone to create a Linux version), let me know. I'd be happy to beta test.

I've lost count of the number of times that TimeSnapper has saved my arse, either with accidentally deleted data, finding an obscure web page, proving I did something on a specific date/time, or that something happened in the way I say it did, or recovering the keys to a small amount of Ethereum and Dogecoin stored in a wallet.

Thank you for TimeSnapper. It has been interesting to use it for that length of time.

"Four weeks work in 9 minutes" captured by TimeSnapper where I create a video game (or three) in October of 2012 http://www.otakunozoku.com/video/working.flv

Sorry, it's an flv, along with an onion on your belt, it was the fashion back in the day

I/me/mine literally gave you a formula that works. In plain English. At least for I/me/mine. And you wish the comment were more helpful?
