The actual malice standard was first defined in a case involving media (the NYT, as it happens), but it applies to anyone , including you.

With Karabiner, I never have such issues. Caps Lock becomes a normal key. The light is never on. Caps are never. actually locked. It's a key that's drastically oversized compared to it's barely measurable amount of regular us

Oh, don't underestimate the longevity of the no-floppy and especially the no-ethernet complainers. Just as one data point: there are non-ironic gripes about those decisions in this very thread .

That's a lot of emotion for some decision I wouldn't even have noticed. (Not a single 32bit app, as I found out). But, anyway, if you want to use decades-old software, why are you so keen on updating to the latest MacOS?

I do know where the keys are, but don't know what the Function keys do in 90%+ of the software I use. Even where I use keyboard shortcuts frequently, such as VSCode, the Function keys are not really involved because they are rather far

It really doesn't seem like the EU membership of, say, Portugal has anything to do with these problems. That organisational chart may appear overly complicated, but it's no different than any other chart for any other project of

Because Brave is a fraudulent attempt by some egotists to insert themselves as middlemen between you and people actually producing whatever you're reading on the web.

There's nothing wrong with switching to FF, but I feel Google is getting an awful lot of somewhat undeserved accusations. Specifically, lots of people interpret all changes in Chrome as attempts to (directly) bolster Google's adve

Funny how you seem to be tortured by even the idea of Safari, while I (and millions of other people) use it every day and haven't even noticed these supposed atrocities.

Apple really doesn't care about those $100/year or even all the hardware all developers in the world together buy. So you have to wonder why they require people to jump through these hoops, and a wish to focus on native, high-qu

I don't think they are even hiding their motivation. It's basically why Chrome exists, as well: Google needs the open web to stay competitive with native apps, because they only earn money on the web. There isn't really anyth

It's been a while, but IIRC at the time Rails got started MySQL actually did not even support foreign key constraints. Since that was the DBMS of choice, it wasn't much of choice.

> Foreign key violations are 100% data corruption Sure, yes, of course, who cares? These are self-imposed rules, so breaking them is wholly up to yourself. And there are trade-offs involved that may often make it acceptable relax them. Y

Did you even read your own quote? 2/3 of the attacks it mentions were perpetrated against muslims. If you check the Wikipedia link above, the tally is 13 to 1 in 2018, as but one example.

"Yet more loopholes" is what happens when you refuse to think for yourself and instead need to cram everything into tiny, generalising, categories. A better framework for evaluating policy is to ask if their objective is worthwhil

Two stereotypes, each about a decade old. The rumors about the impending doom of freedom on MacOS is as old as Mac OS X. At this point, it's the slowest conspiracy in history. People don't prefer MacOS because they are idiots who

Or, to be a bit optimistic, they lack agency . I've noticed in myself and others that when you're stressed/inexperienced/otherwise not-at-ease at work, people start behaving defensively. That often turns into this sort

Google rewrites URLs to track clicks and improve search, which is mildly annoying but not quite nefarious. The links obviously works, but if you want it to look nicer, why not just click and get the URL from the browser? That might even be

That theory (with a different group of people) has been a favorite of racists for at least two centuries. Yet, somehow, it never really materialises. In your specific case, it is bound to fail because the children of religious parents are r

You can't just advertise whatever loony accusations your link goes to (I didn't click) and absolve yourself of responsibility. That's the old "I'm just asking questions..." shtick.

Activity Monitor does decent tracking of power consumption. If you can remember to switch browsers at regular intervals, you should be able to get meaningful measurements.

Most abortions are drug-induced, these days. And the surgical methods obviously also involve a variety of drugs. So you're not getting around the drugs, even in your (somewhat insane) scheme.
