I'm fine with the courts deciding what is misinformation. That's a huge improvement.

I'm not a fan of Elon Musk, but why would we celebrate Jack Dorsey rebuilding the same flawed system that went too far towards censorship in the name of "misinformation"? https://reason.com/2023/03/1

I would expect companies that might say they care about things like climate change to understand the benefits of repairability towards that end.

So you have a data point of 2 Chromebooks versus the school I.T. admins in the article that manage thousands, and you think your sample size wins? How about the pointless bezel changes illustrated in the article? Drop your Chromebooks on th

The whole system? Does the whole NYC system run? That's impressive. Chicago has 24/7 operation on the red and blue lines but the others are generally off from roughly 1-4am give or take a bit.

Well it's nice to know that organizations such as the Trump Presidential Campaign and Exxon-Mobil will never have any difficulty recruiting any task-bots, I mean, employees.

Well I guess it doesn't matter if code ships either. Work hard coding it, and if it gets thrown out and never used despite your hard work, that's the way it goes. As for not making arrests, isn't that self reinforcing? Of cou

What about prosecution? I agree the police aren't defunded, but aren't prosecutors and judges becoming more lenient? This has to be demoralizing for police. Combined with housing costs and you have a vicious cycle of a recruitment
