I think it should be fairly obvious to most here, but it bears repeating that any service which requires a phone number for 2FA is to be avoided like the plague.

Do you guys think there's any realistic hope today (not accounting for what kind of horrible stuff might be possible in the future) of being able to keep your 'genuine' online activities separated from your public facing, san

I don't think this is about competition. It's about a belligerent foreign government posing a threat to national security. Now you could argue that's a classic Dubya style ad hoc excuse designed to mask the government's

Ok. That's an argument for why this is unconstitutional, but not for why congress would be unable to declare it so.

Why would congress struggle to pass it through a constitutional review? Plenty of Trump's EOs have been ruled unconstitutional. He may feel that his authority extends beyond checks and balances, but it doesn't. His attempts to abu

I'm more worried about the effect this will have on the overall public perception of the TikTok issue than anything else. During a time of such intense civil unrest, when people are letting strong emotions and groupthink guide them in

Well, I can think of at least a couple examples where Microsoft or a subsidiary tries to do stuff like that. The big difference I think is that they almost always fail at it, due to how out of touch the higher ups are with how people actu

I think this would probably one of the better outcomes for this situation, outside of somehow convincing every teenager in the world to stop using garbage spyware apps (good luck with that). Microsoft and the US government are at least more

I bet Apple's really banging their heads against a wall right about now.

Antitrust nowadays is just a buzzword politicians throw around every couple years in reference to household names like FAANG in order to get reelected. Unless your average grandma knows the name Nvidia, don't count on those in power to

I'm not defending the mob. I'm just trying to make the best I can of this shitty situation we all have to deal with.

I think people generally give a lot of undue clout to what Elon says, just because they pattern match "Elon Musk" with "smart guy". Granted, I think the hate bandwagon against him is just as silly. I just think he's

I could be wrong, but lately I've been taking the approach that as long as I state my beliefs with as much reasonability and clarity as I can possibly muster, and am willing to admit when I'm wrong, I'll ultimately be vindica

I agree. It seems to me that the best course of action at this point is to continue aggressive safety measures. I'm not a virology expert by any means, but it kinda makes intuitive sense that natural herd immunity will build over time.

I find it interesting how this situation is beginning to feel normal to me. I'm only 20, so I've never really consciously lived through a world event of anything even approaching this magnitude before. I'm finding that my who

I disagree that Windows is the only platform for gamers. Obviously wine isn’t perfect yet, and getting banned from online games can certainly be a problem, but it’s gotten to the point I can say that Linux is viable alternative. The comprom
