Great examples of how letting these private companies act however they feel like will ultimately lead us down to a worse experience and quality of life. Apollo and Tweetbot were great software that made those platforms much more useable and

I got dunked on. I casually commented an opinion without thinking of how to put my feelings and thoughts into words. I made the legal option too upfront. It is an eye catching controversial topic to jump on. I am just enjoying myself for no

It is not pushed; it is a right. It is just a difference in culture. We americans have a strong legal system that is made for small and large cases. On top of that, we are allowed to do it privately by settling matters outside of the legal

that is what the previous owner of the twitter x handle said. No compensation or warning. However, Twitter(or X) was exercising their trademark policy. Github just changed OP's username without any warning or breach of any policy. htt

This is the main issue I wanted to bring the conversation towards. instead I got flamed for making it seem like I am a "sue-aholic." Some people use their Github for business use and allowing Github to change a username without no

If push comes to shove I would play ball and enjoy it, even if undesirable. I would like to say that I suggested OP should speak with Github support before court however people skipped that part because my comment mainly talked about the su

True, which is why it should be a considered a fun activity. Not everything is a hobby but a tool to exercised when needed or wanted. I mentioned in a different comment how Github's policy and terms of service has no mention of changin

It will be done in arbitrage before anything like that. It is perfectly ok to sue a business for inappropriate actions that are not clearly stated or wrongfully done. After closely reviewing Github's policy and terms of service. They d

I am unsure how society is "made worse" On the contrary, this is playful, it is not evil or abusive. also helps keep companies on their toes. Changing someone's username without notifying them AND consent should be frowned o

Speaking directly about the title, it is true. Once you start something, it is the most important thing. It can be dropped at any moment if desired. However, the optimal path is towards completion. This means that you are unable to do some

You are correct! We may be dismayed by how fast we approached new information (and thereby the speed of action), however, productivity has been steadily rising. On top of that, we are able to act and learn more variety than ever before. The

I guess they are just min/maxing their real world personality and connections. Very similar to how people play MMOs to the highest level.

This is the biggest benefit reddit provided to the user base. Google search has been lackluster and appending the word reddit allowed me to see plenty of good anecdotal and informative focused discussions without fluffing up the content for

The ethics of how to properly allow users to send both encrypted and unencrypted emails was an issue. Sending encrypted messages and plain text at the same time will defeat the idea of security and privacy. if there is a thread with many me
