   The study considers the following "Very Left" [1]: - MSNBC - Senator Bernie Sanders - Elizabeth Warren - Vox I mean, I suppose it is understandable if your political experience is solely American. But I do wonder if one considers

   I mean isn't this bit > "since the passcode is not (necessarily) evidence in itself" a little similar to the courts treating the law as computers?

   Lots of "my bet is that" and "my theory is that" in this thread. It is all fun to speculate but I hope people keep their patiance and wait for clarity over time, before making long lasting opinions.

   IIRC the TikTok (and others) ban had to do with some Chinese incursion inside Indian territory, and the government wanted to appear to be doing something.

   I agree with your overall thesis. Just a nit, "Enshittification" is not what you describe, at least how the original author of the term intended: https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#

    I sometimes see the default YT homepage outside of my personal controlled usage (for example, on work laptop, or on a friend's chromecast). I am always shocked how many of the default suggestions are straight up rightwing nationalists

    Some of these I didn't even know existed, and they do sound like cool ideas. Also I wonder what's the difference between killed services with Gillotine icon vs Gravestone icon?

    Not the biggest Google fan, but this page presents only one side of the picture. Google has some solid services that have been going on for a long time. Additionally, a personal opinion: They are relatively better than Microsoft/Apple&

    I feel they would try to enshittify Gmail (much more) before killing it off.

    If you want /e/OS (instead of Android), looks like the 'easy installer' is not available yet: https://doc.e.foundation/devices Alternatively, Murena are selling FP5 with /e/OS pre-installed: h

    The popular OOP seems to be exactly the opposite of what OOP was meant to be. If you get into the original intentions, it honestly starts to sound more like FP.

    The side effects example is exactly where I put down the book. I briefly questioned whether the book is supposed to be satire.

    Another reason why we shouldn't lose control of our own browsers. Today I can set my own fonts, block elements, basically re-style everything once it arrives at my browser, tailored to my accessibility preferences.

    You make it sound like it's two separate buckets. The world and India can, strike that, have to work together. As an Indian myself, I will accept any help I get to fight rightwing bigotry. And I will help fight rightwing bigotry else

    You demonstrate how important it is to stomp out the rightwing ultranationalism festering in India. It is not solely India's problem any more. There is irreparable damage being done to the Indian psyche, and it is not going to be conta

    It honestly feels a statistical inevitability. I highly recommend the book "The Discovery of India" by Jawaharlal Nehru [0] - I think it is a must read, for non-Indians and Indians (especially) alike. India, if anything, has been

    I feel your complaint is valid, but I your ire should be directed towards people who are supposed to answer this question, not the people who are asking it. My guess is that answering "what am I ever going to use this for" is easi

    "Programming with functions as values" is merely one of the side effects, a feature, of writing your programs functionally. It does not define the paradigm.
