Does anyone consider the EU passing all sorts of data privacy laws and putting regulations on American companies as censorship? No, just regular protectionism and it doesn't get too much flack. The problem with China is that they are a

I think it's because the person you're responding to didn't seem to be implying that a single X or a single y would count? Instead, they're probably talking about taking three cells with XY, and then using that to create

I would say that anything using skinner's box style methods to encourage people to repeat an action, and when there is money involved in that process at all, for example if you can buy the results of the loot boxes or you can buy the l

There are so many immidiate contractions in this thing it makes my head spin. Like one section here says "no loot boxes since 2019 and never gambling" Loot boxes are gambling. "We respect our players by making our game pay to

How? Look to that example about Japan. The idea is that the Japanese Twitter population did not shift over to discussing culture over politics. Instead, the tags were being pushed towards politics, and once they stopped being pushed they r

I still don't think the site was neutral, I just also think the current person is also not neutral and is worse.

I use that word roughly to mean that they had their own internal clique, standards that they wanted to apply to the rest of the world, and that small group of people was trying to govern a very large group of people. I changed my phrasing t

I had hopes. Twitter was terribly run and there was all sorts of examples of them being a typical social media platform trying to push various ideas using their control. Elon could have come in, aligned the website to be a lot more neutral,

It's a very different experience if you go to Walmart and try to find smart devices. ZigBee devices are still available, but companies I've seen that used to have them almost exclusively swapped to WiFi over time. Hue is still Zig

In my experience both are dying in favor of iot/wifi stuff. Zwave is still strong in the commercial space ZigBee is strong in the consumer space, especially light bulbs that commercial systems do not want to use. I'm thinking it&#

I'm not being hyperbolic, I'm being quite literal. I tried two or three times to support Safari. I gave up on it and I'm never going back. Not bashing web kit because it's from Apple, I'm bashing web kit because I

You can "do this until the cows go home", but that's about as valuable as repeating "why" every time someone answers a question. People generally value being able to do more stuff. Putting control into the hands of

Every feature has the potential to jump out and be critical, even ones that don't appear to be. Every time I try to use Safari to create something that goes beyond "display text" it's a new adventure in bugs and unsuppor

Are you suggesting that ARM china had so few investors that they had to sell a majority share in order to attract potential purchasers?

I'm very skeptical this is due to safari and not Microsoft style monopolistic behavior by baking the browser into the OS so it's always loaded.

Safari doesn't help the web be diverse, it just cripples the webs ability to compete with apps. When is the last time you said "I will choose to use safari" or seen apple pushing the bounds of what the web can do?
