I thought the blog was pretty reasonable until I came across "One caveat keeps the speed numbers honest" which was the one obvious tell for me. Otherwise I thought it was pretty straightforward to read. Curious, what were the tell

I see where you are coming from but the argument would be stronger is Google Chrome refused to open illegal streaming sites etc. AFAIK, there's no such restriction. (I dont agree to this but ...) using your argument of " If you us

Two things can be true at the same time. 1. It is clear that many people, including the person in the video, has strong identities tied to a certain skill that they have spent years honing and perfecting. The sudden loss of agency and democ
