There are entire communities and prominent influencers on every platform specifically dedicated to explaining leftist positions, just as there are on the right. It turns out a lot of people love debating on the internet.

I'm glad the free speech platform is here to protect us from speech it doesn't like.

Press mentions are generally considered "organic".

I have multiple apps which require a login in the Store, and have never had a rejection for this reason. Either a reviewer made a mistake (it happens, and honestly, DHH's language here implies a conspiracy where a cockup is more likely

I don't think what looks like abuse changes. I think what abuse we're OK with changes. Domestic abuse was always abuse. It always looked like abuse. We always knew it was abuse. But, for a very, very long time, society was totally

Web applications are only ever capable of being "as good" as native apps could be a handful of years ago. It's a moving target.

Twitter/X hasn't traditionally been cheaper than other brand-awareness ad spends, and has performed worse. The best argument for Twitter/X was always that the audience size mattered less than the audience influence. This is w

Maybe, but it's fairly rare that a person is restricted in finding work in their walkable geographic area.

I've got a lot of friends in Portland, and the life they live, and the city described on Fox News, are so vastly different it's almost a comedy.

But the reverse is also true. There are people who think it's bad everywhere, when really, it's bad in a few places.

It's incredibly hard to explain this disconnect to people who haven't lived in high-poverty/high-crime/dense places. Chicago, even the south side, never felt dangerous to me while living there. But here in Texas, people

I tend to treat crime as a trailing indicator of the economy overall. Lower-crime rates correlate with lower unemployment, and vice-versa. Of course, every police department is going to pretend they've developed some novel new crime fi

Google has Bubblwrap, which will take any PWA and create an Android wrapper for you: https://developers.google.com/codelabs/pwa-in-play#0 There are tools like that for iOS too, but you absolutely have to have a Mac.

If iOS reaches 90% market share, I'm sure more companies will push the DOJ to go after Apple to open up iOS more. I don't think Apple would care too much if they were forced to allow other applications to be designated as default

Microsoft didn't get dinged for shipping IE by default. They got dinged because, to promote IE, they engaged in a lot of fairly nefarious things, forcing their OEM partners not to install other browsers, for instance. It wasn't ju

There's no violation of antitrust laws here. Apple does not have a monopoly on messaging services and has taken no actions which prevent their competitors from existing or thriving. All competing messaging services are available in the

The key phrase in your comment is "Apple could allow". If Apple wants to strike a business deal with Beeper, that's Apple's call. If they don't, they don't.

by etchalon 3y ago
Beeper is not a competitor though. Signal, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, etc. are competitors. Beeper is a free-rider. If you're a grocery store, it's anti-competitive to try and shut down the store down the street. It's not

The big change with the iPhone was the entire concept of how a smart phone looked and worked.

"Stolen" is meant colloquially, not literally let alone precise legally.

Threads is absolutely generating more content, at least in terms of volume. Quality wise, I think it depends on what type of content you're interested in.

by etchalon 3y ago
Like the author, I never fully understood the EEE argument. The assumption is that if Meta convinces a large section of Mastodon users to use Threads, and then makes Threads incompatible with Mastodon, Mastodon, as a network, will suffer ha

It continues to be weird that anyone treats this as a technical battle when I'm sure Beeper will get a cease and desist at anytime.

And my comment was about M1 comparison articles, of which this was one. And which exhibited the property I mentioned.

The shocking thing about these M series comparisons is never "the M series is fast as the GIANT NVIDIA THING!" it's always "Man, the M series is 70% as fast with like 1/4 the power."

And a non-addict could leave the stove on. People do dumb shit. Keep in mind most "housing first" initiatives don't literally provide "homes". It's usually apartments.

1. They can generally be "trusted" with a house. It's a house. You sleep there. 2. The idea they need constant monitoring comes from the same outdated approach that believes we shouldn't help people unless they deserve i
