I think I see where you're comparing the two, (I think) your claim is that both systemic racism and mass censorship are two nuanced topics that aren't observable directly. Which is (maybe) true. Where your analogy falls apart is t

I think downvotes are due to your claim that it's obvious that there's coordinated censorship. I don't think it is that obvious because, at least me personally, I haven't seen any evidence of this. Now there are websites

Sure, fair enough.

I think you're making an unfair generalization. As a person who lives in the south (in a strongly blue city), I've never encountered this.

I mean, Texas is home to the largest unzoned city in the country. It’s also the most successful red state in the country, so it’s favorable amongst some groups, especially those with business leanings. I don’t think they’d enforce parking m

They keep saying things like "arid, parched" which leads me to believe they are looking at land in West Texas (it is very cheap land). These things do not apply to South East Texas, which is mostly subtropical. However, even in th

I see plenty of complaints from devs about Apple dropping their app because it runs unverified code, and that’s enough for me to know that the system is working.

I do not want the option to install other apps, because it gives me plausible deniability when my employer or someone is like “install this app or you’re fired”. Or if someone gets a hold of my phone and now I have a brand new app with all

So where can I go if I want a device that does not allow sideloading? I want a device that has a single trusted root that takes a hard stance on all apps to make sure they’re not abusing privileges, and signs the apps that are validated. Is

Well, so they're still nothing more than a way to negotiate collectively, even if the employer is a weak negotiator, or if the union reps make poor judgement. As long as the employer consents, and the union reps consent, and the majori

Unions are nothing more than a way to negotiate with capital as a single entity. There's more to negotiating as a union than wringing more bennies out of the employer. Things like "hey is sustained 60 hours a week really acceptabl

How do you think hypotheses are created? An educated guess is a belief that something is the case, which you then test and adjust your world view.

by chomp 5y ago
Do you have any supporting evidence of this? Unrelated to the topic, from your comments and post, you seem like you are a rather smart person, but you are also accepting a lot of negativity in your life. I really do suggest you disconnect f

Yeah, it's not impossible to get good speed on dark mode; my parent suggested that reader doesn't work well if you have a ton of JS/CSS and I replied that I do not have JS and not-quite-a-lot of CSS for reasons, so reader wor

It certainly is, for my personal site though I made a conscious effort to reduce js to zero and css to minimal (no bootstrap, etc.) I clock in at a 94 on web.dev, and could get that to 100 if I removed the single web font I use. It's a

At least in my opinion, they can either put up with it or keep walking. My website is my personality on a page, and if they badly need dark mode, they can use the reader mode built into their web browser, which I make sure is properly forma

A couple reasons, one is that Amazon made that weird denial tweet with "You don’t really believe the peeing in bottles thing, do you?", denying that their drivers ever peed in bottles. Most companies just put out a statement &quot

Gotcha. I don't want to sound combative or defensive; my entire day job is just double clicking terminal icon or the web browser while connected to a couple monitors, so I don't really put the OS to its paces so to speak. If you h

Yes and Docker for Mac is terrible, I'm sitting with a quarter of my RAM in kernel_task with no idea what it's doing and my system stutters every few minutes while who knows what pages off of the SSD, I've had MacOS releases

Layer 4 doesn’t have any way to understand layer 7 though without some sort of deep packet inspection. That’s outside the realm being reasonable in a lot of cases.

GCP. I don’t know what it’s doing under the hood but it’s such a slog loading it up and waiting for the UI to settle before I can actually do something.

I upvoted you but I think you and I might differ in our definition of friend; I think you're right that you have the opportunity to "cast a wide net" so to speak, but an internet search turns up numerous quotes from celebriti

Does fame really give friends? It's been my understanding that a lot of famous people are chronically lonely.

It is not, however for some of us, there was an implicit “I let you datamine my images, you host them” relationship. Having to pay google tips the scales, so why not spend your $2 on a more privacy oriented service?

Does it mean that the government now gets to start whittling away the first amendment because a minority of the politicians can no longer shout hate speech to the country?
