I have very little confidence that human beings can actually create that sort of country — at most we can only aspire to it.

I don't see that normalization as particularly harmful, given that the law is so often merely a tool of state oppression.

It's not "wholly different"! It's distinct but deeply related.

Well yeah but it's not tied to the operating system of your phone manufacturer!

It's not a position you're put into with WhatsApp or any other app. It is bad for your messaging to be made by the same company as your phone. Some really problematic conflicts of interest.

If you are in an iMessage group chat and you switch to Android, you need to create a new group chat to continue talking to your friends.

The point remains that driving provides the most flexibility and choice for families and everything else is a downgrade. As you yourself pointed out, for one spouse to bike the other one may have to drive. Bike advocates tend to be dispropo

No, people are optimizing for things like family over work (which is good and should be strongly encouraged as part of work-life balance). It just so happens that driving is the most flexible way to get to work, so it looks like they&#x27

Ginger actually does have a lot of health benefits though?

We're talking about Something Awful in this thread, not Apple. You're right that a community is not a business. That's ultimately the fundamental rot in capitalism.

Absolutely, but it's even more ridiculous to use that argument as a shield against criticism.

The communities I'm part of now go out of their way to be inclusive. People who can afford it are strongly encouraged to pay more to subsidize people who can't. People who pay more don't get any special privileges either. Tho

If your response to someone explaining how a fee gate impacted them is just a shrug, then I'm afraid our worldviews are so different that communication between us is impossiblr. edit, response to a comment below: people can come up wit

I grew up lower middle class in a poor country and could never access Something Awful because the fee was literally a week's worth of groceries.

Market share matters if you actually care about improving the most people's lives instead of just chasing money.

Mozilla's operating system bombed horribly, so the only leverage they have is with the browser.

"ban cars" is a very popular sentiment on urbanist twitter.

That relationship work you're talking about has some side effects that might be desirable, such as making you a better person.

Using the right pronouns for people in workplaces and schools. There is empirical evidence of improved mental health but ultimately it's based on a specific belief system — you have to believe that trans people are a group to care abou

That's rationalist baloney. There is an objective truth, and in many cases we can asymptotically approach it, but not nearly in all cases.

by damnyou 7y ago
I've always subscribed to the notion that while there is an objective reality, in many cases humans have no hope of finding it directly and instead only have access to it through cultural filters. What this means is that cultural proce

When you are kind to your wrists and use an external keyboard 90% of the time, it's hard to embrace a weird alternative input mechanism the other 10%.

https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/ says that distribution outside the Mac app store is a paid feature. Who's wrong, Apple or you?

A work of digital art is not "obsolete", and trying to pretend that it is is capitalist garbage. There is lots of great modern art. but none of it makes older art "obsolete".

Apple is a trillion dollar company. It can easily support running 32-bit indefinitely, perhaps with a download for 32-bit libraries libraries and/or with some sort of containerization. As a platform holder it has the responsibility to

Totally agreed. Repeal prop 13 and allow deferring property taxes on market value gains until the property is sold.

But the space next to a transit center is more valuable, so why would there be parking there and not apartments? In practice the answer seems to be either (a) be subsidized and fill up early, as with BART today, or (b) be priced at market r
