It does not strike me as a legitimate case to strip people of their human right to free agency and will by forcing people to do things they don't want to or may even be dangerous to their health and safety. It should be anyone's r

I thought we were all about equality? Are we now not about equality? I can't keep up. And if a woman for some sexist reason can refuse a fare, why can't a man refuse a fare if, e.g., he does not like the destination area because i

I find that claim rather ironic, because I feel like the primary reason that PDFs are "unfit for human consumption" is a formatting issue, not as much a technical or practical issue. The reason they are unfit to read on line is th

I don't find it shocking at all, when you consider just how much farther advanced Apple is in so many different ways including disability accessibility (please let me know if you have ever seen a blind person that uses anything but an

It is curious how something like this gets published with inaccuracies like that Command-L will create an alias in Finder, when it is actually Control-Command-A.

Although it does not surprise me one bit that you express such a sentiment as it is likely the most common one from that perspective; it is the result of the whole tech industry and even economy that is and has long been a kind of extreme m

You are being pedantic and a know-it-all. You know very well what was meant by that. Just consider the comment to apply to all the the monopolistic cartel technology world dominating corporate companies. They are all part of the same world

Ironically, the dynamic has shifted; we've all voluntarily installed microphones all throughout our houses and carry around tracking devices. They have no reason for you to leave and would prefer you stay at home where they can monitor

You are fundamentally missing the point. That mentality though perfectly exemplifies the inherent and likely existential flaw in Mastodon or any other alternative technology that says "diversity" and "equality" and &quot

You are unfortunately describing things that are separate from any "social network", they are unhealthy and detrimental behaviors that have metastasized and are manifest in society today in general, mirrored and amplified online w

"Just do more of this, but broaden the categories to include posting…" and here you are already thrusting yourself down the slippery slope. You went from "gore, rape, and torture", all of which inherently not easy to pro

I suspect there is a certain interest group that has emerged and grown around this subject that has been elevating and promoting this issue in the public's mind. It would not even surprise me one bit that especially overseas contractor

I think what you are expressing a difficult time with is more of an effect from the uncertainty and operating under a state of what was supposed to be a short term emergency measure to "flatten the curve". Unfortunately I think th

This strikes me as a kind of leading or promotional/industry/PR wire story. This whole virus thing has only really been a thing for, what, about 4-5 months in total? None of the developers would have been able to find land, make

This is a bit off topic, to put it lightly, but seriously, please read your comment again and reconsider how you talk to and about people. It is clear you have supremacist disdain for the creator out of a self-generated sense of superiority

The oddest thing about this whole topic, especially in light of the current social unrest in the USA is that people seem to totally miss the fact that Universities, American tech corporations, and the whole American economy is a cynical hum

Is the complain about the DB of the website or the raw data is inaccurate? The former I can shrug off as insignificant, the latter is mildly terrifying and makes you wonder how the hell we can trust anything the government does when they ca

With what seems to be nothing but criticism of policing policies, I would love to know what the ideal or even acceptable policing policies are, presuming that any policing will be accepted. The most simple minded can be critics, but what is

I believe you are immensely discounting the totalitarian duopolistic nature of the system, a facade of "competition" between two not only ideologically aligned, but even essentially colocated centers of totalitarian and supremacis

I cannot quite discern whether you intended it, but "law enforcement wants to be able to use digital communication to discover criminals" sounds quite ominous, even if someone has never read 1984. That is primarily a problem even

I think you are just dismissing the fact that people have genuine grievances, even if they are not only not expressing themselves properly because they probably feel utterly powerless, but also because they likely don't quite understan
