This feels like an attempt to shift public opinion in favor of return-to-work companies by attributing "laziness" to their employees. If you demonize workers as "lazy" you can treat them much worse then if they are viewe

You say this but IMO its not exactly true. By far my favorite example is the UC Davis pepper spray event. Where sitting sedintary protestors were pepper sprayed by campus police (the school then engaged a PR firm to attempt to wipe evidence

Ok so a user who already has crypto and doesn't want to convert it first (fees) may be encouraged to mix it (privacy) and that is a legitimate usecase. That makes sense to me, though it seems like a very rare event that should not be t

You're right a proper definition of a toot is: "Posts are called "toots" instead of "tweets", as is the case on Twitter." I mixed up a like button with a tweet-like object. Either way i'll say it agai

I think VR is as much about GAMES as it is hardware. I don't think anyone, even Apple, can nail the hardware but they might. But I know FOR SURE Apple won't nail the games. Look at Amazon's attempts (lol).
