Articles like this one accelerate the politicization of conspiracies like anti-vax, rather than help address the underlying problem. To attempt to make this a 'right wing extremist' problem, one has to ignore the fact that one of

That’s a very long, thoughtful, and detailed document. Linking to it without any context at all isn’t super helpful. What exactly are you referring to when you claim Apple ‘spies on its [sic] users’? Every bit of data Apple has about me is

Give me a break - there’s no developer that anyone could reasonably trust to write even the simplest program and maintain and modify it throughout they year for less than $20/mo. Maybe I spend several hours finding someone online who

Why would I pay someone hundreds of dollars to build something that I don’t know how to maintain, when Zapier can do the same thing for free or $20/mo?

I’m not surprised that people on a developer focused forum would find little to no value in something that enables automation without programming. Y’all can probably automate interactions with hundreds of web based services in your sleep, u

One aspect to this is that cultural norms, and those in power, change over time. There are tons of people who said or believed things 10 years ago that would get them fired today. And that’s in countries with freedom of speech. I’d be shock

You’re arguing about naming conventions for a product that hasn’t been released, and where names are all speculative. What you think is an m1x may be called an m2, or a m2x or a dp2fgh.
