I agree, I think it's also likely that in many scenarios bad faith communication is more successful in the short term. You can appeal to a persons emotions, disparage the person making the argument, exclude nuance to make simple memora

Thanks for the Cryptomator recommendation I've been looking for something that can encrypt cloud backups more easily than uploading encrypted 7z files. Not sure whether it would work for your use case since it doesn't support hand

The 'without weapons' implies it wasn't violent, which seems a stretch to me when a police officer was beaten to death and plenty of others were injured

You could limit the free trial in some way (number of connections, ability to connect to other services) that makes it less appealing for abuse, however you may just end up playing a cat and mouse game on that front Personally I'd be o

I don't think many businesses think of their dark patterns/retention schemes as predatory is part of the problem. Outside of the app stores, my experience with subscription services is that a significant number of them engage in w

That's fair, although there are so many other products available that do the same thing, run by organisations much less cooperative with governments. Perhaps the scale of a company like Apple providing it changes the equation, but it s

The arguments they're making are a mix between nonsensical and absurd to me. The only vaguely legitimate point they make is that some users have experienced worse browsing experiences (because it's beta software/because some

I think if you include the cost of an iphone then it's probably more expensive then the alternatives (unless you connect it to your own iphone/account in which case Apple will happily give your details to the police if the Airtag

Isn't it more likely that 90%+ of people leave their devices on factory settings and don't want/care to understand or change them? I'd guess if you asked most of those people whether they'd want to be more likely to

Have the options for making and installing images on windows improved? I've looked into some a while in the past for work but they always seemed to come with enough caveats that they wouldn't quite work for our case. E.g. very few

Definitely, getting rid of them pretty much requires an OS reinstall too which is incredibly annoying when it feels like I've had to waste an hour or so of my time so that the hardware vendor could make an extra buck. I occasionally ge

I wasn't saying the Quest out of box experience is bad, more that they're holding back wider market adoption through exclusivity deals and throwing up arbitrary walls that may put off potential consumers and competing headset manu

I've been using the LG C1 48", it's a little too tall so the upper portion of the screen rarely sees use outside of full screen video/games, but otherwise it's great. Although my opinion may change if it starts burn

Personally it's a mix of principle and practicality. On principle I'd like to be able to put code up on Github, tell people they can use it however they like and to credit me if it suits them, but otherwise I don't want the c

I think VR is already there unfortunately, and that it's one of the things holding back wider scale adoption. On PC there's Revive which lets you play Oculus games on other headsets which is great, but it requires a little setup s

You can find some white supremacist/neo-nazi fuckwits pretty much wherever you go, there are probably more then a few in most western militaries (and I wonder how many you could find in the Russian military). It's not grounds for

I strongly agree, mental health only seems to be a consideration until it has any affect on output. It's now talked about more openly/included in health and safety courses/etc. which at least seems to be a step in the right d

The points in that post make sense to me, I'm not too worried about the major players breaking away from the app store (although if it's anything like streaming/TV some may try it). I think the more likely scenario is that so

While I mostly agree with you, I think there are some reasonable arguments for why allowing alternative app stores could degrade the iOS experience, for example: - Security, no matter how many warnings you throw up/hoops you make u

It depends where the lines are drawn, given pressure from religious or other organisations I could easily see websites being put into these kinds of categories without much cause to score political points. I also doubt it would make the web

Even if the laws aren't intended that way, that is often the results they have. For example parental control apps are more likely to classify and block LGBTQIA+ websites as adult content [1] [1] https://www.forbes.com/s

In many settings professionals can be fired, lose their credentials/licence for giving bad advice or not doing due diligence. Compared to Rogan most of them have much less impact on other people, why should he be held to a lower standa

I used to listen to Rogan quite a bit until I realised what his format was, if he has reasonable guests on he'll find something to challenge them over (great), if he has 'controversial' guests on he'll let them mostly ta

I'd imagine for these companies the hardware is a necessity to get customers into their payment processing business, could even be a loss leader rather then a profit centre. If a lot more people now have a potential POS device in their

There's also a lot of overlap between these jobs and ones that were essential to keep society running during various lockdowns, so the value these jobs provide doesn't seem to be reflected in the remuneration. What I don't un

I agree this kind of consumerism moves the needle, however I'm not sure that this mechanism can be relied on at the scale required to help with problems like climate change. Millions of consumers in many countries would have to be conv

Are there that many industries where consumer choice would encourage companies to make those kinds of pro-humanity choices? I'd like to buy electronics that aren't manufactured in part by children but it isn't like companies

Consumers obviously see enough value in remote control for it to be added as a feature, I'm not sure putting the cat in the bag is a great solution at this point That said while I do disagree with the above consumers, I don't care

If you're connecting to one device most bluetooth headphones will work just fine, the biggest pain point is when you have multiple devices to switch between. I've got some nice noise cancelling headphones I like to switch between
