There is nothing truly "objective", since everything has to be viewed through human lenses that are by their very nature subjective. Just as we cannot actually perceive objective reality, we cannot truly take actions based on obje

Preventing others from using tools that help them focus because you are in a position of power to determine what "focus" looks like is exactly the point the parent comment was making. "Being able to focus on a speech" lo

Modern computers do far less actual multitasking than most users realize. Yet we still call it "multitasking". Sufficiently fine-grained task switching is indistinguishable from actual multitasking. Also, is it really even task

> Humans cannot multitask. Anyone that says they can are lying or are misguided at best. I don't believe this to be axiomatically true. I don't believe it's an intrinsic ability, but I believe it's very possible for h

Some people use bits of time on their phone to ironically help them focus on the person they're talking to. If I have to listen to someone with zero of what people would call "external distractions" I'm barely going to r

The biggest thing that DMT taught me is that time is an illusion, created by our minds as part of the construct that allows us to exist and focus on survival. This is true for all life that experiences an internal chronology, but as humans

Why do we need to stamp out "waste"? A bit of waste is inevitable, and is human . Excessive waste, sure. But I think Musk's DOGE goal is to stamp out all waste to 0, and that is simply impossible. For example, the only way

Because there are far more places to apply leverage, and they know they can get away with it precisely because online is "different". Why? Because they said so.

I meant on the development side, not that end users paid for anything.

You do realize this is Microsoft we're talking about here? Not merely a couple dudes in their bedroom doing this in their spare time? I guarantee you that a non-zero percentage of the code in VSCode was paid for.

Personal backups are at least allowed for software, per 17 USC 117, and I'm not aware that the DMCA altered that, it only added the nonsense about "effective access control" which can legally be as weak as ROT13. Perhaps not

The history of it? Absolutely. The discussion of/against "under God" being part of it? Again, neutral from a historic sense (as in, knowing when it was added). It might not be super easy, but a neutral civics test is poss

It's almost like options are good . Let people have the option of icon-dominant or text-dominant UIs. But we all know many modern designers don't know the value of giving the user choice (or aren't given the agency to do so

I glance at a word and instantly (other than eye-to-brain processing delay) know what the word is. Icons that aren't the absolute most common take longer for me to parse.

Even more unpopular opinion: Require a neutral civics test be passed before allowing someone to vote.

Quite honestly and frankly, I don't consider the DMCA to be just law. Regardless of that view, personal backups are absolutely allowed under copyright law. The DMCA only criminalizes the cracking of "effective" access cont

The disrespect that this administration is showing for the entire governing process disgusts me. We'll be spending decades undoing the damage these clowns are doing.

If nobody watches it, then technically no copies of the video have been distributed.

> i download a file onto my PC. in doing so i have made a copy of that file onto my PC. It's even deeper than that. Legally, you are also making a copy when you load the file into RAM to play it.

"Antisemitic" is also being thrown around a lot towards people who aren't actually saying antisemitic things, but rather criticizing the government of Israel and their actions that take place under color of law.
