I saw a similar claim in the comments of the tweet. Not knowing any southwest employees, I'm not sure how to go about either validating or invalidating the assertion. It's in the air though, so I'll reserve judgement until we

I'm not happy with it either. If there's another way to push back against corporate censorship that's more effective than boycotting their services and the objectives they're working towards, I'm all ears. But so fa

I have values and principles that I want to see embodied by the society in-which I participate. The vaccination rate is (to my knowledge) the only metric being used to validate these policies that I can directly and consciously affect. So I

Sweeping patent trolls aside, the rapid industrial and technological progression of China seems like a good argument for (at least temporarily) suspending IP regimes in order to facilitate periods of accelerated advancement that permit new

As a light smoker (1 to 3 cigarettes or mini cigars a day) I looked at the probability of cancer or death based on my consumption and weighed it against the pleasure and utility I derived from it. I decided the risk was worth it. It's

Tusky (an open-source mastodon client) has (or had, I hope) an integrated blacklist that prevents its users from accessing certain instances the developers find distasteful. Mozilla could implement a similar feature to block portions of the
