Architects of this tragedy like Anthony Blinken should absolutely not be given the opportunity to whitewash their involvement.

Paying $10/yr for a domain is well worth the cost just to be free of attaching your entire digital life to a gmail etc account that can be easily taken from you with no recourse. But beyond that self hosting is a hobby. It’s not nearly

Profit for the founders and the shareholders is the only definition anyone cares about in the states. The idea that a business could be considered successful by just providing a living wage for its owners and employees or contributing to th

I don’t personally see AI as replacing a significant portion of workers any time soon, nor our government implementing UBI if it does. But should both those things come to pass then sure, the devastating effects of population decline on our

A false dichotomy. I did not suggest rampant population growth. Not that I agree with your characterization anyway.

Have you pictured what that will look like in practice?

Even if you believe AI will eliminate a significant portion of skilled labor do you honestly believe that the increased productivity will be used to support our aging population?

Population decline is an economic issue not an ecological one. How do we support a larger population of non-working elderly with an ever decreasing population of workers. I don't see how without a restructuring of our economy and socie

Well population decline is a very real threat and with the conservative scapegoating of immigration (the only thing keeping the US growing) they need to get labor somewhere. Plus it fits right in with their anti-woman and anti-lgbt sentimen

I would consider the capture of journalist outfits by billionaire capitalists who kowtow to authoritarians to be an erosion of our democracy. They call it the fourth estate for a reason.

I wonder if that makes up for the money they are losing as I continue to abuse their service with ad blockers and sideloading modified ad free clients.

Well in my case the value is not there at their price which includes YouTube music as a separate service that must be maintained and I assume separate licensing as well. I’m not interested in paying for access to that side of the service. I

I would pay for YouTube premium in a heartbeat if they didn’t also include YouTube music, which I have zero interest in paying for.

The one place i feel faceid is better than rear fingerprint reader is when i need to auth multiple times in quick succession like filling with my password manager.

Agreed, I honestly couldn’t tell you what the lockscreen on my pixel 3a looked like, I almost never saw it. 100x better than faceid.

I don’t know about the UK but, In America I never hear Czechia, just Czech Republic. To my ears it sounds no more formal than “United States”. I understand that’s not the case in the EU though.

No, it’s unreasonable for end users and non technical managers to simply dictate to IT what software is to be installed on corporate devices. They can submit requests to IT with a business justification which should be approved if can be ac

While OP’s usage of elucidate was accurate, your definition is off. Perhaps you were thinking of “to shed light on”? “To make light of“ would be to downplay the significance of something.

Ro khanna extending a fig leaf to such a disgusting character as musk is at the very best an utter embarrassment. Let the party who defended his salute keep him.

“Kabuki Theater” usually cynically implies some political posturing. That someone is putting on a show for the audience. It doesn’t imply rehearsal. E.g. Someone might say that politicians arguing energetically about gun violence are playin

Higher calling might be the wrong phrase, but generally I find that people who work for the forest service etc feel more responsibility for their charge than people making widgets.

The public sector is about service. It’s not emotional attachment that keeps these employees there to the end, it’s a sense of responsibility. There’s no higher calling keeping you at your B2B SaaS company.

Yeah if you’re already a competent runner using traditional shoes then switching to Lunas or similar will absolutely blast your calves if you try to maintain even a remotely similar pace or volume at the start.
