Not merely my opinion, rather my interpretation of the results in the article. This is an opinion: everyone who tries to squeeze more out of their knowledge workers is a moron and/or malevolent and should be demoted or fired.

A year ago I would've been ready and willing to pay double price for a fully US-made phone. Purism's liberty phone seemed interesting. Now, I will not buy american products at any price. It feels totally ridiculous now to even tal

More accurate conclusion is that the upper limit for efficient working hours is far less than the standard 40. This underlines how ridiculous the people who claim to work for even more than that already too high amount.

I'm also one of the people who have tried Nix(OS) a couple of times and found it too much of a hassle, but nightmare is exaggerating a bit, I feel. Nix's strength and weakness is that it wants to take over everything, and if you w

Perhaps China should get Taiwan. Seems like a much better option than remaining allies with USA.

Seemed like an interesting concept, but these days I'd much rather just buy a chinese higher quality laptop, like Lenovo. Being an american company is a huge minus right now.

I need my phone to write and read Signal / Matrix messages and to use MFA. Unfortunately, dumb phones are generally too dumb for these requirements. Perhaps an iq100 phone? Punkt is kinda close.

Communicate? With whom? Why? Stop gatekeeping.

Is it possible to calculate how much wealth they are saving by not having to create a profit and other kinds of free market deficiencies?

I can recommend Sam Harris's meditation app. His practice is groundes on tradition but without any of the mystics. You should strive for regularity. Twice every day. Don't skip without a hreat reason, and when you do skip, immedia

As an architect, I fix bugs and do other kinds of maintenance. I don't ask for permission. It's a part of the job. If you are in a team where the management doesn't allow you to fix bugs, it is your responsibility to lie to y

Being an idiot in Twitter has never meant anything. That's the crux here, really: Musk has proven quite recently that his Twitter persona reflected his actual being. People accusing me and others of "you understand this only now?&

He did deliver on several fronts for a long time and seemed like a serious person. But people can change, and not always for the better. But yeah, like Sam Harris says now, perhaps I didn't know the real Musk.

I would have been skeptical of news like this in the past, but the last 6 months have shown that Elon Musk doesn't give a fuck about human tragedy. Or truth.

This right here, despite the obvious brigading done to it, is the correct answer.

Your last paragraph is evidence how nobody in the smartphone sector, including Huawei, has innovated in the last 6 years.

How are you doing MFA, or don't you need it?

Everything vaguely anti-Trump/Putin gets flagged here now. Does the flagging hide it from any feeds, though?

What are you referring to? Pointing out ways one's language is better is not necessarily arrogance. It's just communication.

>The golden prize for America's enemies is to remove the US dollar as a global reserve currency. At this point, who is *not* America's enemy?

That's not the problem. The US now effectively has a system where you don't prosecute presidents for any crime. You should note that the ongoing criminal investigations against Trump were mostly cancelled when it became obvious th

That's easy. It's false dichotomy.

Moot point as someone like Trump ignores existing tools and just makes his own. Also, Trump could have been stopped by the processes in place in USA, they just were not properly used. There were several cases open against him, they just fai

Why wouldn't they just ban her for life? And why not include the whole party in the ban? She certainly did not act alone.

We all know that American democracy is a sad broken joke, but this piece of news is about France, which seems to have a functioning one.
