What do you mean “hung up”? The comment you’re responding to is correcting the headline which is objectively incorrect. Nobody has said that the finding is irrelevant because it’s “only” mice, but of course it matters , and the incentive f

Live chat for support is bad, and live chat from a bot to sell something is even worse, and for the same reason: none of them are actually live. Even in the case where you get to talk to a human, it usually starts with a queue (not real tim

Your comment is suggesting a view of the Iranian elections that is completely separated from reality. Iran is classified as a totalitarian state[1], with only 11 countries in the world getting a lower rating in 2021. The fact that you'

There are different types of companies which is exactly my point, both of you simply talk about "companies" but it's not that simple. There's a huge difference between a company where you have personal liability for ever

I can see both sides of the argument, if you want to protect personal data then that arguably must also include the personal data of the owner of a company. On the other hand, many countries have strong principles regarding freedom of speec

Gaslighting is not an objective term so it makes no sense to try to cast it as such. What constitutes gaslighting depends on terms like "abuser" and "victim" and since these terms are subjective, it follows that the term

Since gaslighting by definition means that you’re invalidating someone’s view of reality and basically calling them insane, I have a hard time seeing how it could be the victims fault. You can disagree with people, and you can say that you

Unfortunately Jellyfin is nowhere close to feature parity with Plex. It may be a perfect replacement or it may be borderline useless, it depends completely on your use case. In general, my experience is that Jellyfin works fine as long as y

I don’t really understand what point you’re trying to make. The way moderation is handled in your example sure sounds a lot more democratic, or at the very least with some fundamentals allowing it to be democratic, than twitter ever will be
