Is it really worth the tradeoffs of having significantly smaller storage space, reduced screen size, and clicking through way more often, just to not have to move your eyes as much horizontally?

For me seems to be. I keep it in my front shirt pocket, pull it out to read all the time. I've gone through 8 books on it so far this year. That's 7 more books than I read on my Kobo by this time last year given how convenient it is to take it everywhere. Granted I'm usually a paper book reader so my Kobo was always just a travel device, but the Xteink makes it so easy to squeeze reading in everywhere.

The biggest benefit for me is the size of the device. I always have it on me, so I rather read than doomscroll

Just wait until you get older and need to increase the font size. Now you're down to 2 words/line and you get carpal tunnel or De Quervain's from the constant clicking to page. I'm only half kidding.

Why is the government making efforts to increase technological literacy not an option?

A proper course in technological literacy would also necessarily include the fact that browser extensions are quite possibly not safe.

I think he means murder, not killing processes /s

my bad.

Huh, that's what Kiwi Farms says about the people that they talk about online too. And Cloudflare famously retaliated against them, but are retaliating against the victim in this case because Archive.today responded to the doxing in the wrong way apparently

Parents already have full control over this because they make the choice to give their kids a device in the first place

Do they have full control or do they only have a choice between two extreme options?

They have full control. If you're talking about dangerous outcomes, those are reasons why parents don't give their kids things like knives or chemicals. Internet-connected devices should also warrant the same kind of caution

Analog formats are clearly inferior to digital ones, but analog speakers are superior to digital ones?

Digital speakers don’t exist. No matter how the signal gets there, the end result is wiggling air in an analog process.

Clearly I'm talking about the digital signals sent wirelessly here

Krazam is legendary. This first Public Memories episode feels like a cross between Portlandia and Silicon Valley. Looking forward to seeing more!

I get shades of Interdimensional Cable and Black Mirror

This reminds me of a similar project called Hypertext.tv, but instead of YouTube videos, it shows websites. It's an interesting take on channel surfing since each airing is interactive

I built something similar but for podcasts. Swipe up and jump into the middle of a podcast like tuning a radio. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stumblecast/id6758248417

The StumbleUpon days were a truly magical time on the internet.

Worker limit exceeded. Dang even comments get HNed

Thank you so much. Enriching

It's much more simply stated as: "displeasure"

No. The author doesn't like pop music, but that's not a guilty displeasure, because he doesn't think he should like it.

Right. It's not "guilty" at all

I better start leaving higher quality comments on here so I can increase the social value of my account and sell it
