Sure, but it's been amazing how quickly some outlets have gone downhill, chasing the buzzfeeds and gawkers into clickbait and moral outrage land. The Guardian comes to mind... Not too long ago they had Greenwald releasing the Snowden l

Yup. SEPA wire transfers are amazing, and it's scandalous how the credit card oligopoly keeps the US in the dark ages when it comes to banking. But America lives off credit, so nothing's going to change any time soon.

Huh? How is a localization being tied to a browser bundle vs OS remotely the same as a website offering the ability to view content in different languages? I can change my OS locale settings just by opening up a panel. Firefox wants me to i

>You cannot think with images I disagree, and I think the way computers have made us regress to a purely textual interchange format as the common denominator is an unrecognized tragedy. My notes in school used to be richly layed out, mix

Why is this read off the firefox locale when my system has perfectly decent localization capabilities set up just the way I like it? (US English, 24h, YMD) This seems like another case of the browser becoming an OS within an OS.

>Major outlets like CNN, WaPo, NYT etc. publish fact-based news that contains inaccuracies as a component of intrinsically imperfect reporting and a business motive to publish quickly. Funny, I'd swear they told me that some dude at

The Air strategy was imo how they should've handled the new Macbook Pro. You've got a new product that has some experimental novelty (emoji bar) and makes some very future oriented design decisions (usb c only) that most people ar

If the issue is truthfulness, then they should complain about that instead of labeling things as "problematic". The word is terminally underspecified, and its usage should be avoided for that reason. The fact that it's so pop

A big part of confusion is that the left is no longer interested in the common man and elevating the lower classes. So no, they won't advocate seizing the means. They are instead obsessed with identity politics, which seems to be anoth

Isn't it obvious? Twitter is a dopamine pump combined with a misunderstanding machine that has gamified the cult of personality. Familiar readers feel a reward for their constant interpretive skimming of aborted thoughts, outsiders pro
