19 Jul 2024, 14:28 UTC≈1,040 views1 reactionsread 6 August 2026 Over a year ago, I decided to push for an initiative to change the design of one of the Linux distributions. I thought it would take just a couple of weeks to create a concept and publish it. Turns out that squeezing in hours of work alongside client projects and managing multiple designers took much longer than expected.
Today, with the world witnessing a massive Windows failure, I thought it would be a good time t…

I really liked the grime take in the article, but in the recent years more and more I hear the second take that can be summed up with "suck it up, users", which I don't really support.

What's better — orgasm or universal basic income? GTA 4 or land tax?
Now you can compare anything. You can also check the leader-board here - currently "universe" has the highest rating and "the Holocaust" has the lowest.
11 Jun 2023, 16:01 UTC≈1,260 viewsread 6 August 2026 I'm a huge fan of Linux and open-source projects. Unfortunately, such projects always were incredibly unappealing for a wider non-tech audience, which felt really frustrating to me. Even during the privacy crisis and whole Snowden scandal the number of open-source supporters and Linux users has barely risen, while corporations kept collecting as much user data as they could through their operating systems.
Lately as…

Shadow libraries indexer. Really glad that something like this continues to appear cause sci-hub’s stability felt worrisome a couple of years ago.
23 Mar 2023, 15:57 UTC≈1,180 viewsread 6 August 2026 Recently more and more I've been thinking about AI governance and I feel like this will be a defining point for the next five to ten years in the AI progress in terms of adoption, as right now we are seeing the product launch effects.
Governance was one of the core reasons to stabilise web3, but at the same time, it tremendously affected the adoption. Initiatives from the big tech players were seized right before th…
14 Mar 2023, 10:31 UTC≈1,030 viewsread 6 August 2026 I rarely find articles discussing the state of design, and even fewer articles do it well enough to consider them seriously. But the report from Float really hooked me with some of the threads pointing to existential issues for the industry that just can't be ignored. In many ways, some of the issues (especially the ones brought up in thread two) are relevant not only to the design field but to content in general.
T…

I believe that "woke-ism" has affected on a different level almost every field in the western world. However, I hold an optimistic stance and have a feeling that we are past its peak. Interestingly I started to notice more and more studies on woke-ism, where it can be quite objectively meas…
10 Feb 2023, 10:52 UTC985 viewsread 6 August 2026 Doctorow gives a very interesting perspective about BigTech (not only). I found that I personally don't agree with a lot of stuff he shares but at the same time I really like his takes and argumentation. Here is just one of his thoughts that I found very interesting to think about:
What that narrative can do is shift the point of peak indifference. But, just as importantly, it can keep denialism from sliding into ni…

In the past years, writing posts as Cynic became more and more strange to me. I don't know whether it's due to the format of the old posts or just a general lack of themes that I wanted to discuss with a larger audience for a while.
Therefore, I've decided to change the format of the channel - from now on posts won't have any specific format, I will just share, brag, and describe what's interesting to m…

Russia started a war with Ukraine that they cover up for their people as a "special task force operation". In Russian media, you are not allowed to call it a war as you are not allowed to call anything by its name and without proper confirmation from the ruling party.
Every day from its start feels fast and slow at the same time. People outside of Ukraine live by following the news and hoping…
Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @egorcentric. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
