The vast majority of iOS users appreciate the security, safety, and stability provided by Apple’s restrictions. In fact, at this point I strongly dislike MacOS for how poorly it manages resources and security- even tho it does an outstandi

They were in their early 20s trying to build a company not knowing if they would succeed, and the downside of social media is still not well understood. People who realize their past actions caused harm should be praised not denigrated.

Roughly no, if you’ve followed this topic, it will be the same drumbeat. It still might be worth watching since it’s an important issue and this is the most high profile exposé.

Battery life and look-feel of paper. I love my kindle for reading because it doesn’t do anything else. Mostly I agree with you. If combined with kindle I would definitely want one.

You obviously don't have much experience with China. China is an authoritarian state and all companies are subject to secret control by the state, essentially branches of the military. There is no legal recourse or protection from such

This is neat atho I would agree it isn’t the right tool. The reason is that the time until a second message with the same content can be sent is indeterminate, based on how many intervening messages are sent. If your app does want to send t

I am a developer and power user. I am incredibly happy with every update from Apple. Unix with good design is exactly what I want from my OS. Sure I can't disassemble my laptop and change the hardware. I have no desire at all to do t

Not at all. As the page says, you can’t block pawns, which entirely changes the game. You also don’t need to move pawns to develop pieces.

UBI has to be universal to work, or at least phased out slowly to avoid an income trap where working doesn't lead to an increase in income. We have to accept that some people will accept free subsistence income and not work.

Part of the reason for ubi is that a lot of work is exploitative or underpaid. Ubi puts people in a negotiating position to not work and demand higher payment, or to not work and contribute to society in other ways.

This looks awesome, especially with the e2e encryption feature. Unfortunately it’s a long way from competing with Notion, my current everything app. I don’t think I will be able to use a a note app that doesn’t also include database and spr
