The slippery slope you're presenting doesn't hold water. There's a pretty clear difference between abortion and pre-pregnancy contraception. Republicans' stance on the former is not a strong indication of their stance on

I don't know where this is coming from. I'm aware that a significant portion of conservatives are very religious and some religious people object to contraception. But I'm not aware of any concerted effort by Republicans to b

They ruined Bethesda? Did everyone forget about Fallout 76 already?

As a long time Age of Empires 2 fan, the RTS genre feels stronger to me now than it has at any point in the last decade. But I'm definitely down for MS to release another great RTS title.

What monkey are you referring to here? Doesn't look like the FTC has even a remote chance of successfully appealing this case.

It is. The court is basically saying here "We'll accept your argument that the Switch isn't in the same market because it doesn't matter. You're wrong either way." They do this again later on in regards to the

Guess I'll just have to start using NewPipe on my desktop if ad blockers stop working.

Still using Boost with the ReVanced patch[0]. No telling how long that will last though. Regardless, I'm massively scaling back my use of Reddit. [0] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLk

Sure, but GP was talking about religion. I've never heard of a religion encouraging its followers to eat meat. The biggest ones generally discourage at least some kinds of meat.

Windows 10 was released in July 2015 and is currently set to receive updates until October 2025. That's a little over 10 years. And with previous generations of Windows there was nothing really stopping you from upgrading to a newer OS

Yeah, it's just a basic 24" Dell office monitor from 2014. Actually, I have two of them. The primary appeal of the VR desktop is that you'd effectively have infinite screens which can dynamically adapt to the content. But I s

Let's see... my 1920x1200 monitor is about 20" wide and my eyes are usually about 20" away from it. That's 60 degrees of vision. I don't know what the horizontal FOV for the AVP is, but found a claim of 110 degrees

No kidding. I'd love to see the bigger company loose their logo in one of these petty trademark disputes someday.

Sounds like this would make for a fascinating read. I don't suppose any of them recorded their progress as they went and published it somewhere?

It's not about price. It's about implementation and lies. 30 days is not enough time for Christian (or any third party app fev) to build, test, and release a solution to collect payments on behalf of all his app's users for A

Do you have a good link? I think it's an interesting subject, but all I can find are posts made by SO mods and admins which are generally positive about using bots to detect bad posts. If there is a controversy, I suppose SO would prob

I wasn't trying to say ML makes an algorithm any less opaque - just that I don't like when such algorithms are used to populate content feeds. I avoid content feeds that aren't driven by algorithms with simple, understandable

IMO, I'd rather see ML used to improve moderation rather than another opaque algorithm picking content for a social media feed. I wonder how accurate an ML algorithm could get at picking out moderation-worthy comments.

There's a big difference between apps that "work on" a platform and apps that are "built for" a platform. Consider Android tablets, folding phones, or basically any Android device with a large format display. Basica

That would have been completely fine with me. But it's obvious at this point Reddit's goal was not to effectively monetize third-party apps. The goal was to crush them.

Idk what subs you hang out in, but in most of the subs I follow one of the easiest ways to farm upvotes is to simply trash on the USA. I see one of those "Stop complaining about your life. There are literally people living in The USA.&

The upcoming API change seems to primary affect three use cases: 1. Moderators used many tools (including bots) which relied on the API to improve their moderation abilities. This indirectly impacts all users to some degree. 2. Users with d

Is there any way Reddit could support mods using the funds without paying them for moderation?

Many platforms have recently shown how you can monitize an audience without ads. It's weird to me that Reddit hasn't pursued something like that. Discord and Twitch have a funding model that would probably work great for Reddit. A

5G is definitely a cool tech. What's not cool is how carriers trick people into thinking they're using "5G" (or even "6G") just because their phone's cellular data connection is operating on the 5G spect

What exactly is the metric for "best" here? I consider MS's record under Nadella to be a mixed bag. Azure is probably Nadella's biggest success, but it's hard to come up with any other significant market in which MS
