Considering South Africa is strutting about in the ICJ, a body with no enforcement power whatsoever, claiming Israel is committing genocide, and yet has imposed no financial or even diplomatic sanctions on Israel, yes. Yes it is. It’s the A

The U.S. needs a lot more rail. The government should go the EU way. Build the tracks but lease out the actual operations to private companies that can bid for track and station time. For example, I suspect if Amtrak was forced to compete w

And before the Apple fanbois come and tell you how Apple is a multi trillion dollar business so they know what they’re doing, a reminder that Apple didn’t want the App Store in the first place, and wanted 3rd party apps to be web apps. It w

It’s really unfortunate how every few years “influencers” (today’s term, but celebrities and hucksters of all stripes have been doing this for decades) will come around and promote a new extreme diet that will revolutionize your weight loss

This comment is almost entirely ahistorical. India as a country is about 75 years old. It’s ridiculously young. India is the largest democracy in the world despite having half as many official languages as American states, and an order of m

OpenAI is literally not a word in the dictionary. It’s a made up word. So the Open in OpenAI means whatever OpenAI wants it to mean. It’s a trademarked word. The fact that Elon is suing them for their name when the guy has a feature “AutoPi

I think this is what a lot of people don’t understand about the EU. The EU is, rightly, seen as fairly far right on the economic spectrum by most in the EU countries. Which is not surprising considering the EU is a neoliberal project (altho

This can clearly be shown to be false. People said the exact same thing for decades for why they preferred Macs over Windows. The Mac was an extremely open ecosystem. That did not stop it from “just work”ing or “getting out of your way”.

Any evidence it’s because they prefer being prevented from installing certain apps they can get on Android? IOW, is there any evidence that if the apps that are currently unavailable on iOS became available on iOS, iPhone sales would drop?
