Conversely, you could look at that as a mistake on the West's half for letting themselves become so addicted to a foreign power they are ideologically at-odds with. We could have learned this mistake when we sold Pakistan weapons they

If American democracy can be subverted by a fucking iPhone app then we deserved it. I'm not going to accept the "psyop steal" accusations this time around any more than I tolerated it in 2020. Misinformation is a perennial is

I like the tacit implication that all 335 million-odd Americans might be subject to requests pursuant to court orders, but none of us can ever really know for sure since those records might be sealed, expunged, vacated or classified. It&#

At this point I'm convinced Apple deliberately manufactures small anachronistic design decisions that will cause minor controversy as a lightning rod for their actual criticism. I am also convinced that 90% of these decisions will be r

What ruined Dorsey for me was the crypto nonsense. I didn't use Twitter but it seemed like he was the typical asocial self-loathing nerd for a while. Then he went full on savior-syndrome and tried to use Twitter as a marketing tool for

There is no personal responsibility to take. The algorithm is deliberately tuned to present as much inflammatory and incorrect information to users as possible[0]. If you feel ostracized by the content promoted on X, it is probably because

Ah, but there's the catch. Resturants aren't meeting you there, Grubhub workers are. Resturaunts largely just optimize for takeout, and whether or not your food arrives warm is less of their problem and more of the Grubhub worke

Nothing will ever be as popular as Twitter, which is why it was valued at $44 billion dollars when it was bought. Bitten once, twice shy. Edit for response since I'm rate limited: Twitter didn't make a profit - it would ha

Sony has great audio codecs and doesn't treat my Linux desktop as a second-class citizen. I have zero reason to even consider Airpods as a serious alternative for as long as they treat multipoint bluetooth as an optional feature. Once

Well, missing packages for one. Nix prides itself on having one of the most compete package catalogs of any Linux package manager, and on Mac it leaves quite a bit to be desired. A lot of functionality has to be hooked in via home-manager s

As someone that has gamed an equal amount on Windows 10 and Linux, I think you're blowing things a little out of proportion. Windows is a tinker timesink too if you want to uninstall Candy Crush and Xbox Game Bar, disable all telemetry

You'd think that. One of the biggest takeaways from WWI (and undeniable takeaways of WWII) is that complex weapons work better. Chemical attacks could kill thousands of men without risking a single life on the behalf of the attackers.
