I think this misses the point. The division isn't within the government; it's between individuals. And I don't think the power of short messages is specific to the United States

I mean, if you look on the privacy.com website, the only 3rd-party request is Google Fonts. Personally, the privacy tradeoff is worth being able to pull a font from the cache, even though I understand that the same doesn't apply to eve

Holy cow. This feels so surreal. I don't think things will stop feeling this way, and I don't really want them too. I still can't believe the moon landing was only fifty years ago.

My understanding is that in terms of privilege, "white" refers to the color because simply being lighter is an advantage, regardless of race https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21069193

> Vine was loved and was shut down by a part time CEO. Yep. Then the community moved to Musical.ly, then to TikTok. Although the company is gone, Vine is still around in spirit. And I think the same applies to TikTok, too

Note that a platform is being banned that's not tied to particular speech. I still think it's wrong for an individual to be able to do this

Tagging along, the TikTok algorithm adapts to which videos you skip. It's unfair to claim that the platform has poor quality content without spending at least some time browsing, much more than 5 minutes

Note also that if you skip a video quickly, TikTok will show fewer of that type of video, which I think is a fantastic feature

The technical barrier. Maybe I'm ignorant, but I think Chrome & Firefox would put up a much bigger fight than App/Play Store. The latter is already a walled garden.

Agreed. Generalizing based on assumptions is very useful. Using those generalizations (e.g. assuming the apple thing is true) to reinforce beliefs is incredibly harmful

Agreed. My XPS 13 also has a 1080p Matte display, and I love it more than my old MBP's Retina display. I know the GP's post is grammatically phrased as an opinion, but I think a lot of its points are more preference-based than imp

Free as in beer, or free as in speech? YouTube is a closed platform (server-side), so I personally don't see much moral use of using a libre client. And I understand wanting a gratis client. To what extent does the cost of YouTube Prem

A good rule of thumb: Centralization has the optimal best-case. Decentralization has the optimal worst-case. For example, Bitcoin, while robust and reliable, is slow. Discord, while sometimes down, is generally fast and featureful.

Another problem is when town square hosts are held responsible for what their participants do and say. Which is sometimes understandable. But it can be messy

Yep. And several of them seem like issues that would be very difficult to reproduce outside of production (e.g. overflowing primary key index), so it makes sense that they were not caught earlier

My interpretation is that "currently" is referring to right now, after that incident. I assume they meant to suggest that the monitoring system was put in place as a result of the incident. Or, I'm wrong. Maybe there wasn&#x2
