Now we know why Microsoft wants it - so they can turn it into the world’s largest hall monitor.

So much of what you described happens because people intentionally make those bad decisions. That being said, you can still feed yourself well in the above scenario. What the parent described is nutritious and not expensive, and people get

You are describing idealogues and zealots and bureaucrats who want that problem to continue to exist no matter what. Because they have an agenda which involves taking control of whatever they can if they can. They would be deeply distressed

> If you become a public nuisance, and/or threaten or injure people due to the influence, those are also obvious offenses. Too many good innocent people will be unable to fix the issue once it gets started. This view may appear well

Don’t forget who supported those arbitrary controls on your lives.

This will be the case eventually, but not for a while yet. There are still so many useful and interesting applications that can be built until then.

In capitalism, the market can decide to want software purchase options beyond just subscriptions. Plenty of people in this thread have been offering examples of great alternatives like how JetBrains does it. But I do agree that there should

It’s not. What we are witnessing is the last gasp of an unproductive class of hall monitors and moral busybodies trying to control everyone else and appear productive and enlightened while doing it.

The people pushing these language initiatives are the obnoxious and worthless hall-monitor types no one likes to work or speak with. The ones who never do anything productive in the organization they find themselves in because they’re too b

No, doxxing someone isn’t free speech anymore than saying “fire” in a crowded theater when there isn’t one is. Against the policies and rules. Doesn’t matter if it’s a CEO you dislike that is being doxxed. The people on the left are the one

I am not convinced these are safe to use. I am concerned they just report back to your employer, when they are provided as a benefit, so they can “better manage attrition.” Or to large data brokers otherwise. Unless these tools are open sou

Meanwhile, California wants to “decolonize” math class and they also want to get rid of programs for gifted children who excel at accelerated material. I wonder how softer roll-outs of these ideologically-motivated changes to education over

No. The majority of Americans now have antibodies one way or another. In significant excess of the 60 to 70 percent Fauci and other public servants were rooting for this entire year. Some 80 to 85 percent of the population by now has antibo

There is a mountain of links provided in recent comments I made, showing that it's happening in Australia and that some people are clamoring for a two-tier society. Victoria's premier is straight up saying he wants a "vaccina

Your anecdotes about your relatives in Australia are duly noted but disregarded as irrelevant, because it's anecdotes. I have family in Australia too, saying the complete opposite to you. Do you accept that? If not, then I have no reas

The mandates are not necessary anymore, certainly not in America or in Australia. The reason I say that is because the number of people with antibodies which prevent reinfection or most breakthrough cases, is now in major excess of what Fau

Anyone wanting to do this doesn't need to know someone else's choices except by asking in private. Feel free to distance yourself from anyone not meeting your conditions. Whereas in general public, wear a mask and social distance.

Do you want to live in temperature-controlled rooms, monitored by the government to ensure that no transmissible diseases are around? You may have a knee-jerk reaction to my question, thinking it has no basis in reality. Meanwhile, in Austr

Don't lie or exaggerate. We do not have "vaccine or fuck off." This has never been done. What do I mean by this? I mean this: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/oct/24/austr...

There is a possibility it will get worse, unless the people of Australia and New Zealand choose to be very brave. Non-violence across the board, but there needs to be a massive outpouring before it's too late. Before the authorities ju

You just proved I'm right. In your other comment, you said "is 6 more months fine?" And I said that they'll always find reasons to extend their magical new powers. And yet here we are, someone doing that for them by buyi

I've heard "two more weeks" and "a few more months" multiple times now. And in fact, in the case of the extremely strict lockdown processes in Australia, they've extended them before. If you peg it to # of case
