> I like motion, I wouldn't have set this myself! You sure about that? “Turn on Reduce Motion” was a common bit of advice for people who were looking for ways to make Liquid Glass livable.

This seems deeply delusional at this point.

How was any of that incomprehensible? They gave a list of some actual things they shipped. The hand wavy dismissal where you pretend they didn’t say anything just exposes your bias. You don’t want to hear a success story so you don’t.

> They are kinda famous for systemic cheating at this point. Is that really a Norway thing or a professional sports thing? Think of all the disqualifications in the Tour de France spanning many nations.

It’s not incompatible with open source. It’s incompatible with free software. If Apple or Google or Microsoft or the government needs to “bless” your build, then you have no freedom to actually use your build.

Indeed. Lending without expecting any repayment would not be lending. It would be giving. This could be interpreted as a call to generosity. Plain reading seems to rule out interest though. (The more nuanced reading seems to rule out lend

Two of these snarky, hand-wavey responses in a row is sufficient to establish that you have nothing valuable to add here. Take care

I don’t know what this means. You’re hand waving “based on consumption”. There is no magic deduction that turns an income tax into a consumption tax. Also you seem to have reversed your stance and are basing deductions on consumption. So

And what about this? Luke 6:34–35 - And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them

You’ve gotta squint each hard to call an income tax with deductions a consumption tax. That’s what we have in the US right now.

That article spends most of its time explaining why a progressive consumption tax is obviously the right choice, then basically decries liberals as too dumb to understand it and conservatives as too evil to want it, but spends zero words to

This is not an expert consensus. It’s one random npr story. Switching entirely to consumption tax is a billionaires dream. Dropping corporate income tax is a CFO’s dream. (Whoever wrote the line about how reinvested money shouldn’t be taxed

I’m curious what you mean by this. Leviticus is specifically included in the Christian Bible.

My point here is that all Christians are “cafeteria Christians”. They all pick and choose the pieces they agree with and want to follow. They discard the inconvenient stuff as no longer relevant and claim the things that they believe are

This claim hinges on the idea that homosexuality is a thing you do and not a part of who you are. You can love someone while hating a thing they do. You cannot love someone while hating who they are . The conservative Christian notion that

You missed the point. > If you haven't used your $whatever in a year, why do you want to use it now? Replace $whatever with whatever you want and you'll see how absurd this question is. This is a silly statement specifically

I would personally not want my account recovery tied to an account I rarely use. That seems full of unnecessary risk. What if you forget that Gmail password? What if it’s compromised and you don’t even notice for almost a year? What if Goog

That’s a very narrow reading. The parable was in response to the question “who’s my neighbor” in the “love thy neighbor” statement and Jesus basically said “even those you hate”(i.e. the Samaritans).

This feels like you just have that retort in your pocket waiting to use it because it didn’t seem relevant here. What does this even mean? Why have the junior engineer if they aren’t irrationally invested in the code the write?
