It's because it's addictive, and we live in a capitalist free society. Bad things can be stimulating, fun, and addictive, and so people will still partake in those things to their own deficit. We can't just ban things because

This is just a shitpost as far as I can tell. Spin left Seattle a long time ago, so if you happen to find a scooter somehow, I guess there's a RPi4 in it...

Google has the money to take a loss if it means getting product out the door faster than Apple.

I was speaking more to the ethos that arose as the internet was opened up to the public and began to evolve in the late 20th century. You are correct that this is a far cry from its initial conception as a military communications network (A

The internet was conceived as a democratic haven, a realm where every individual had the potential to influence and shape their digital experience. However, a pervasive dip in technological literacy and a rising dependency on heavily-guided

While nutomic is definitely known for being a lefty Socialist, and you're free to disagree with them on that, I am not aware of any noteworthy extremism. Unless there's something I am not aware of, he seems like a pretty rational

I use Edge at work because it suits my needs best. I can log into my work account in the browser, letting me save my work passwords to a trusted account, and search internally using Bing. It also has decent Outlook integration, which is hel

Since when was hostility to imperialism suspicious? Like, you think we were right to use military force to defend ourselves against a country that was defending itself against invasion? That just sounds like justifying an unlawful and immor

I don't think "He didn't say that, but if he did he didn't mean it" is a great argument, especially since there is proof that he did say it in the documents linked to these articles... It's also clear that that

If you have significant assets and marry someone without a prenuptial agreement you don't get to blame feminism for your lack of due dilligence. The default marriage contract is 50/50 of everything, and if you want different terms

I think the front page might be a little too exploitable from the looks of it right now (currently plastered with The Thing).

From what I can understand, and I'm probably off-base a little: Government: "We are sanctioning these known criminal wallets." Tornado Cash: "Anyone receiving deposits from these criminal wallets will be blacklisted.&q

I think that if we have to choose between letting hundreds of thousands of additional people die, or having a healthy economy, we utterly failed our priorities as a society long before the pandemic started.

We get it, your socioeconomic status makes you confident that you'll never be affected by this problem, and you have no interest in improving the world for the people who are.

We are talking about Matthew Yglesias. Confirmation bias is basically his entire brand.

I think there's some nuance to this terminology, but overall I prefer to use the term "bad faith" when people are saying things that they know are untrue. In general, most people I hear using the term "willful ignorance

There's literally nothing I can do with my phone that I can't do with a laptop. Most people here work in tech and know what I'm talking about. You could carry a laptop and a flip phone and be fine. There's literally n

Shutting down roadways into and out of cities is a little bit more than just a disagreement. These people are criminals.

Shutting down routes in and out of a city for such a selfish, delusional cause is well beyond what any rational person would call "civil disobedience". There is no basis for allowing the intentional permanent disruption of public

This is the standard right-wing strategy. Speak of your opponent exactly as you deserve to be spoken about. As long as you do it first, it makes accusing you of what you're actually doing less impactful, and sows doubt. Basically, th

I'm pretty sure that they were implying that it does not, but that the way this whole thing is framed, its Apple vs. App Developers, and the end users don't appear to be included in the decision making process.

This is a little bit overdramatic, given that they only exert that kind of control over the frameworks that they wholly own and control. Nobody ever accused Microsoft or Sony of "getting to decide what games were allowed to be made&quo

The USA does drone strikes all the time, not only against minor targets, but with egregious collateral damage. Listing examples isn't even worth the energy because this is common knowledge and a simple google search would reveal hundr

I'm not worried about most people, I'm worried about the people that the USA does go after, because the USA usually goes after good people who rightfully criticized what they're doing.

Taking this to the logical conclusion: This is the fault of US Intelligence Services for overreaching to the point where it impacts general trust in US companies, and should be solidly blamed on them for being legitimately untrustworthy and

I don't think these concepts are comparable. My First Amendment rights cannot be violated by a private website, because I can always go to another website, or start my own. Being deplatformed isn't the same as being silenced, be

It's sad but predictable that the top response amounts to "Forcing companies to act ethically and legally would just push them into the USA". That's not exactly a great argument here, given that this French court has obj
