Really only finding a way to match almost every negative US stereotype possible here. I feel like I lost brain cells just reading it. This is that famous education system in action. I genuinely laughed when I read this. Like you had set up

I always thought Google had some interesting insights and ideas when they were playing around with the now abandoned service weaver project: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/03/introducing-servic... ? More ac

That was genuinely some of the worst analysis I’ve read in a long time. Almost every single point you made is fun house mirrors.

Yeah anyone who’s worked at meta in the last ten years I would not hesitate to label as a creep.

It’s just not actually a very good language for writing UIs in compared to say Dart, Swift or Kotlin.

I suspect this may not feel super helpful at first but I thought it worth mentioning, my first reaction to something like that was strongly negative and my guard went up immediately, it’s quite a weird dynamic that you’re stepping into of p

Literally had this conversation this week with my parents. Weird fucking times…

Just checking a real basic assumption here. Is there a scenario in your mind where a government says that legally its citizens can not consume certain material that ISN’T authoritarian? Because I don’t even know where to start with a premis

I think you’re actually just incredibly unfamiliar with history to be honest and might be mixing up a Reagan quote about border control and extrapolating that into something very different. Even in incredibly recent times what do you think

I don’t think there is any way in hell the US is going to be welcome back on the world stage as a partner to any of their former allies again unless among many other things they put themselves under the ICCs jurisdiction.

Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day. Among its respon

More about accepting that they are never going to vote for you to begin with and that you’re very literally wasting both your time and killing the support you do have in trying to reach them. They are entirely unrecruitable. How many genuin

Actual security / privacy person here. The iOS ecosystem is much much much worse than people currently think of it as. This is primarily due to adware SDKs and in-app browsers that Apple has done absolutely nothing to address.

Only in a quarter to quarter sense. I’ll never give them another cent. I’ve watched large numbers of people go from fans to haters in the last five years especially. I also think at just a fundamental technical level their moat is quickly d

Just to be clear we are currently in a thread talking about someone who won against all odds and stupid amounts of money by not sticking to the supposed “centrist script”. Also we aren’t talking about your personal preferences here in terms

Yes, that was the sad joke unfortunately. The hospital was genuinely world renowned but what good does that do you if you can’t afford to use it. You die… hence the difference in survival rates.

What on earth are you talking about? I’m asking why you’re scared of losing magic internet points and need to hide behind throwaway accounts and you’re here talking about the inner fortitude of the American character. For what it’s worth, n

The majority of Americans live pay check to pay check back in the real world. It’s the only country I’ve seen outside of a war zone where people are regularly trying to crowdfund money for basic things like food, education, justice or medic

Real land of the free and home of the brave stuff here with a throwaway account to offer such gripping commentary. Just talk like a normal adult with your normal account and accept that maybe some people think your opinion is bad and you lo

Counterpoint: The country really needs to learn how to have a grown up conversation and not allow the dumbest people in the room with the least generous interpretation of everything possible who were never going to vote for you anyways to c

Only because American discourse and thinking is so utterly poisoned by the absolute bullshit that is “American exceptionalism”. In terms of almost any possible quality of life metric you can think of Europe is ahead of the US. That combined

I think there’s some real value in WANs that are independent of both the internet and existing telco infrastructure but I don’t think I would put a specific transport at the centre of its design. I think you would be much better off with so

I don’t think you have any rights whatsoever to tell other people what they are allowed to discuss. I understand if you personally want nothing to do with the conversation that’s your right and that’s what the hide button is for. You should

Which let’s be honest is what you wanted to do all along. This was never at any point about you personally wanting to not read something but about you making sure that nobody else could. Congratulations, you’re exactly the kind of person I

They had no navy, no army and no airforce to defend it. I think the criticism is entirely valid.

There is literally a hide button right there if that’s your actual wish… somehow you clicked on the one to read the comments and then accidentally clicked on the button to reply multiple times to it.

It’s the difference between getting an education and learning a trade… so yes.

People WERE happy to do the Wikipedia model but you won’t find anyone who is willing to do it now purely to make someone else rich and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise..
