That's what people always said: if you don't like Twitter's policies, build your own. Turns out if you do that, you'll also need to build your own AWS, your own DNS, your own payment systems, your own internet providers.

Funny how the media only mentions that the SWIMMING POOL DID NOT COLLAPSE somewhere in the ninth paragraph.

Hmmm. Imagine for a moment that someone argued: "this is such a cold winter! See, I told you global warming is a hoax!" That would be laughable. Yet people have no concerns about cherry picking anecdotal evidence when they say &qu

Okay so we can't ask today's 30 or 40 year olds about their feelings growing up? This makes your theory conveniently unfalsifiable.

Windy Maps is a pretty good fork too, and from a company with good engineering resources.

Interesting point of view. Have you ever sold a product? I assume not, otherwise I can't imagine how you would conclude that ads don't contribute to sales and don't bring value to customers.

Why do you want to disable it? Isn't it nice to see ads that are interesting and useful to you rather than looking at some useless ads you're not interested in?

If you were starting a business, like a software company or even, I don't know, a bakery, would you start it in South Africa? No. Some countries have a shortage of people. They're hiring, but they can't find people. However,

This got flagged by our pentest vendor as well, but to me it sounds like a very unrealistic attack vector. If one can steal a token from your browser's storage or can intercept your HTTPS connection, then sure, yes, you have a huge vul

I am also upset by the lack of elections, but looking at the US politics from Hong Kong, I see a lot of similarities. The attempts to silence and stigmatize opposition, to close opposition media outlets and deplatform them on social media,

Even better, these autogenerated summaries should give most weight to paragraphs at the end of the article. I often find that New York Times and other media put important details that sometimes contradict the headline or challenge the main

As a hack, if you can't use a uniwidth font, you can simulate bold font by having a `text-shadow` of the same color offset 1px to the right. This is helpful for UI elements that need to become bold when selected.
