I think this sense of cancel culture is overhyped. Harold Bloom’s importance will not be lessened due to his abuse (except perhaps of topical relevance). There is simply a dual importance like we both recognize.

It’s absolutely not an “overly sensationalized piece” when apple does nothing to offer ip-based controls, such as offering the user a choice of which ips to connect to. You have to install little snitch or get super comfortable with packet

I don’t believe I have. What do claims of plagiarism have to do with claims of sexual harassment? Your post seems to defame the alleged victim.

What does this have to do with the accusation? It has nothing to do with his being significant except through the window of his abusing his power.

I think the businesses are ruined—they probably legitimately don’t make enough money to pay a living wage and the necessary benefits with their current business model. I don’t see this as a problem in the long term for the strippers—unaudit

Uhh it’s an extremely stupid question if they’re asking for support about a word processor bug visible on screen. Blindly defending arbitrary practices out of context is stupid. Stop doing it.

Idk, macs are pretty close to worry-free hardware interactions. It’s a plug and forget system. Maybe windows is too by now.

Can’t we just admit all three major OS’s suck badly for various reasons? Why do we need to pick winners when they all have major usability issues? * Apple and Microsoft don’t care about your needs at all and provide no route to changing or

....for people who choose to sell software it might be. For users this might not matter much at all. I’d rather they remove the bad parts than keep old software working.

I use it pretty heavily myself so I might be mischaracterizing the actual rate.

It used to work great on iOS until Apple crippled it.

Like most privacy issues the issue is scale. None of these people ever explicitly consented to the use of their data this way. Change is often sensible when encountering new information or understanding of an existing situation. Hell, I can

There’s no IDE that can compete with unix.

And it would be ludicrous to interpret me that way! The part that implies the dysfunctional organization is “enterprises”.

A more accurate term than “crypto” would be “private currency”. It offers very few of the benefits other cryptocurrencies offer (to non capitalists) except for resilience to the failure of a single state issued currency. “Crypto” is a compl

How is holography any more concrete than string theory? It is just as untestable.

I’ll admit, I don’t see apple supporting the equivalent app for, say, the US.

The west employs this tactic too but calls it a sanction or embargo.
