The question "do you trust this directory?" is a world away from "do you consent to upload this directory and all of its contents to a third party?". My assumption when asked "do you trust this directory?" is t

Forgive my poor phrasing. I used Fable for quite a lot in the time I have had access to it. I mean to say that the only actual utility I have found for it was the final review process. I can confidently say that Opus is the most powerful mo

I have only really used Fable as a final pass on something. A "Take a look at everything we did so far, and make sure we didn't forget something" kind of review prompt. But it is a huge waste of money for most coding tasks. O

I mean, I get that these things are typically matters of opinion, but if you value things like freedom and privacy, these things are objectively bad.

You'd have to industrialize the capital punishment system to handle the demand.

Restructuring the modern lifestyle, allowing people more free time to focus on their health, is unprofitable. Whereas minimizing the amount of free time people spend on their health, allowing people more time to labor or consume, is profita

While I can appreciate the principle of not blindly trusting OTC medicine marketing, it is not realistic to expect every person to be highly competent in fully understanding their medical choices. It is far more reasonable to expect the com

Unfortunately, yes. The American right has looked at Russia as a model for what they want America to be for some time.

At least with a PC you have control over the system. You're even freer with Valve because now have the ease of using Linux. My entire Steam library is backed up to LTO tapes. I can get most everything running without needing Steam. I w

There's an ocean of difference between "moved some magazines" and "helped organize the event and explicitly called for violence". You know that, though; you're just intentionally missing the point.

That's really hard to swallow when the current president, who is responsible for the extreme uptick in ICE activity, pardoned 1,600 people who conspired against the federal government in favor of his agenda, but then that same governme

There are lots of safety arguments for street lighting. For one, as a city dweller, I would be absolutely terrified walking around at night, having to rely on a flashlight to see anything. Not just a "scared of the dark" thing, bu

Why shouldn't someone divest from big tech companies if they think they are harmful? If I found out that my local bakery was funding regressive far-right politics, I absolutely would stop going to that bakery. These are silly questions

Yeah, what's your point? Plenty of us are actively opposing the evil things our tax dollars fund all the time. If we could safely opt out of paying taxes for those things, we would. But Mullvad isn't the government. I can get a VP

What you did say, anecdotally, is that pedestrians would be safer, in direct response to being presented with empirical evidence that pedestrians are, in fact, not safer... So my point here is that, whatever argument you are making, it is a

I'm honestly surprised there isn't more political outcry. The administration has a party affiliation that, typically, insists on free market principles and is against government overreach and regulation. You would think that this

I 100% agree with you, but I do sorta get the other point being made here. Assault rifles have been used to slaughter classrooms full of children in some of the most bone-chilling acts of violence imaginable, and people have such a weird id

Well, the statistics say otherwise, so I don't get the argument you're making. That you would trust the car's sensors over your own observations and judgments might actually mean you'd be a more dangerous driver in a new

So a dedicated team of engineers creates a functional product, and you plagiarize it so you can have all the profit for yourself? Only a "good idea" if you're a thief with no original ideas.

It's so cool to see that some of these groups are still making incredible pieces of digital art as recently as this year! This Razor1911 career retrospective demo from Revision was pretty impressive: https://www.youtube.com&
