Granted, it’s one step at a time — but what’s to stop them for disobeying the legal order if it’s against them?

Blessed are the leakers. Though, more seriously, I’m curious how effective anti-leak efforts actually are. I mean, the Nintendo Switch 2 was basically a fully formed product many knew about before Nintendo actually announced it officially.

It’s a bit amusing how lightly Republicans need to walk in criticizing Trump, like they’re navigating a minefield. Surely it can’t be so hard to call a spade a spade.

But there’s really no way to get around it. Yes, you’ll have to put yourself in uncomfortable situations. There’s no one simple trick that’s going to mitigate that and trying to find a path that’ll get you there without discomfort is only d

Depends on how the winds change over the next few years. What I’m seeing now is a backlash to a backlash. I imagine the counter-counter backlash isn’t too far off and, depending on how the midterms go.

I recall Biden getting 70%+ after his speech in 2021. Just goes to show how quickly things can change – and will change again. Can’t say I’m as optimistic as DHH, but I am looking forward to 2-4 years from now

I dunno, I ran my mid-2012 MBP until ~October 2021. In that time, I got it serviced once for a screen issue that they fixed under some program (after the warranty period). I think it got security patches as recently as then. That seemed lik

I've only not bought something at Starbucks when I've gone there once, I think. Always feel weird if I go and don't get anything. I'd go there a lot more if the pumpkin spice latte were year-round. Alas.
