I may be a biased Genesis Kid, but SEGA was always ahead of its time.

Blocking Pinterest and those ad-riddled Stack Overflow clones that were everywhere has been a game changer.

Only seeing the `old.reddit.com` domain is also much more pleasant.

The search results page no longer feels adversarial.

The rate of Issues opened on a popular repo is at least one order of magnitude beyond the number of Issues whoever is able to deal with them can handle.

Just trying to triage and tag all of them can still be a full-time job’s worth of work in a popular repo.

ISPs also have different levels of service for different entities, and seem to just barely care about you as a customer.

An ISP (like one that starts with the first letter of the alphabet and ends with a common abbreviation for an explosive compound) might not think it’s worth coming out and marking their fiber lines when you call the city’s 811 number to mark utilities before digging for a project, like a fence.

If that fence ends up cutting the fiber line when digging a post, the company installing the fence can submit a ticket through a different portal than you as an actual residential customer of the ISP can, and that ticket probably gets responded to well before your attempts to contact them and request a call back because they are always experiencing a high volume of calls.

They’ll never admit any negligence on their part for refusing to mark utility lines, and you just have to remember where they buried the new ones, if they ever came back out to bury them instead of just leaving them aboive ground and flailing around.

Sometimes they even try to charge you for fixing the fiber line.

Not another one.

The bears broke my brain enough the first time I encountered that “stain” where my memory clearly had it labeled “stein.”

I hate in-app browsers, too, but there is a Slack setting that will let you open in Chrome or Safari (choosing Safari opens whatever your default iOS browser is).

You can change the Browser Application setting under Preferences after tapping on your Avatar in the Slack app.

This seems to completely ignore, and maybe even dismiss, the lived experience of all the kids who weren’t diagnosed or treated but who developed coping mechanisms to survive school and adolescent life, then found those mechanisms incapable of dealing with the ever-increasing burdens of adult life and finally sought diagnosis as adults after years of struggling to understand things that have been complicating their lives all along.

This kind of dismissive rhetoric increases the stigma around seeking a diagnosis as an adult, which is already hard enough because an entire system of caregivers, teachers, and institutions already failed the undiagnosed person throughout their life and navigating the health care system, especially for mental health, is extremely frustrating - and challenging from an executive function perspective.

This is kind of a ridiculous take.

Not going to speak for the author, but some of us just want to be able to write a blog post and publish it in our free time. We're not trying to "maintain systems" for fun.

Some of those posts get zero views, and some of them end up on the front page of Hacker News.
