Do you maybe have a graph of what the overall picture of content control by a handful of companies looks like over, say, the last 50 years?

Roll20 has done OK with freeform text, I think. I'm not a UX expert but... what if the pulldown menu displayed the top 20 systems for the previous month, with an Other submenu that displayed everything else?

They should be solid houses, yes. They aren't always, obviously, but that's the goal. The term of art for this is permanent supportive housing, which is handy if you want to look for more research and documentation. Seattle curren

Insofar as they're tied into the online advertising markets, yes. You need to collect the data for good ad revenue, and in-app purchases don't typically pay the bills on their own, so there's an incentive to collect data. Sin

I love the idea of a Ulysses Pact. Something like https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491 would be good. I note that while right now there’s no way to override the malware safeguards, Apple's promising to fix thi

I think it's smart to be concerned and smart to make your own decisions about what you're comfortable with. For what it's worth: Mac OS doesn't phone home on every app open. The result is cached on your computer for a fe

I'd argue that it's rarely been decided by a public debate. It's traditionally been decided by (for example) the small number of companies who are in the business of publishing textbooks. Or the small number of people who tea

I think we're still learning. E.g.: deplatforming individuals works pretty well. Milo Y isn't relevant. On the other hand, there's some evidence that deplatforming movements is less effective: right-wing extremism shifting to

I agree that different drugs have different danger thresholds. However, I noted that Columbia's already legalized personal consumption of cocaine, so in terms of personal danger I don't think the proposed law changes anything. On

I think we tend to neglect senses other than sight when talking about AR. In my opinion, the Apple Watch (and other smartwatches) are AR devices; tapping my wrist to tell me to turn left is an example of AR behavior. Touch is much easier th

French unions bargain on behalf of the entire sector, and the government enforces the deals even for non-union workers. Comparisons between French unionization rates and US unionization rates are not entirely valuable.

Yep, ghond was part of the Tiny* community. I think you've nailed the distinctions quite well. There was a strong academic bias in the Tiny* world -- James Aspnes, author of TinyMUD, was a CMU professor. "Fuzzy" Mauldin was a

The link you've characterized as an admission discusses internal bias, and doesn't say anything about bias in moderating.

You couldn’t do this with Telegram, but if you were using Hipchat or Teams or Mattermost or Discord as your backup, you could just keep the instance locked down most of the time. Open up permissions when Slack is down.

I don't think all of them will -- it's probably significant that Twitter was already thinking about this. However, I know my CEO never would have run this experiment without the pandemic. Now, he has data he didn't have befor
