It's not a world-enveloping thing like the major social media platforms (and it's not going to be) but it has a good number of active users and I enjoy it more than the alternatives.

Even granting all those things (which I think are pretty unrealistic), there are a couple issues: 1. An uncensored onion-based video sharing network would very quickly become filled with the kind of content that gets the FBI knocking on you

The biggest reason is disinformation coming from social media and conservative media outlets. That can't be fixed while respecting the first amendment.

Vaccine mandates are good in concept* and will probably spur a lot of the "I'll get it if it's required" or "I'm going to wait and see" people to go ahead and get it. But they're kind of weak as imple

Why would this be any more trusted than the misinformation warnings Youtube and Twitter already put up automatically for certain subjects? And also, I don't know how anyone can even float the possibility of making something like this a

Navigating code using Vim keyboard commands (in Vim itself or another editor with a Vim plugin, like VS Code) is actually efficient and comfy once you become fluent with it. I also use a Vim Firefox extension to minimize my mouse use browsi

Is hCaptcha less of a pain for users who block tracking (with Brave, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, etc) than reCaptcha is? I'm not sure I've ever solved an hCaptcha, but I find reCaptchas to routinely be incredibly time-consuming

If you love Google then you're not the target audience for this. It's for people who ~~acknowledge the obvious fact that~~ believe Google is evil and want to minimize their interaction with the company.

I feel similarly. Liberal ideals would say that everyone having a global voice is a good thing, but we haven't really seen things play out that way since social media became so dominant. At least not in the US. Though it doesn't h

I buy digital music from Bandcamp whenever possible. (Otherwise I buy it from Amazon MP3 or pirate it from Soulseek.) I like to build a collection and I can't stand the notion that some streaming company or copyright holder can just de

Most people are wrong! By any defensible ethical system, it's wrong to kill sentient beings when you don't have to. This goes double when it's terrible for the environment.

Investors who consistently beat the market are a small minority, and their existence does not disprove the EMH. Obviously the market isn't 100% efficient, but it's efficient enough that even most professionals can't beat it.

That's pretty ironic coming from a company whose main value proposition is "we aren't assholes like other tech companies are." That and the annoying crap you have to disable when you install Firefox to get a blank new ta

Mastodon is federated, so you already get to choose who your content moderators will be when you pick a server. Blocklists are just an informal and spammy-by-default version of that.

I use VS Code daily (because it seems to be the only full-featured editor that Just Works(TM) with WSL), but it can get pretty sluggish, especially with the Vim plugin.

If you're trying not to sound like a fascist, downplaying Yarvin's neo-fascism as "ideas you find distasteful" is a bad way of doing it.

It's still quite lame to try and get the article deleted based on that. Libertarian socialism is an ideology which exists and is noteworthy enough to get an encyclopedia article, whether or not the name is self-contradictory.

>Adoption rates are low, but perhaps that should tell you something about what users actually want. I think it tells you that everyone who wants rich chat (which is most people, btw) already left for Slack or Discord.
