Why would you hold opinions that you don't think would benefit from your strongest advocacy? Why believe things yourself that you don't think other people should believe? To be clear, I'm not saying that you should strongly a

I actually do use a Pixel phone. I still think it's a bit hyperbolic to describe something as "sad" and "really poor" on the basis that it ranks slightly lower than another top manufacturer's previous flagship.

Expecting users to remember individualized passwords and maintain separate authentication factors for every service is placing a lot of trust in the user! I think this is a case where it's reasonable to think that automation might actu

But even before this, Alma was using the same model as Rocky, Oracle, etc, weren't they?

Why does this announcement make that question any more relevant than it already was a year ago for example? Regardless, I think the answer is basically that you'd face an "xkcd 927" (i.e. "15 competing standards") p

Here's a hot take: I think this kind of pride in ignorance of social happenings is just as bad as pride in ignorance of math/science. They both seem like attempts to paper over feelings of exclusion from one group by using feeling
