I'm shocked that some people think the right to free speech shouldn't encompass libel and violent threats. /s

If a mod sees this, can you switch the URL? It looks like the Youtube user stole the content from here: https://youtu.be/A-tDj4ZGcZY

I do not want the kind of 'freedom' that the Heritage Foundation promotes.

From https://www.nytimes.com/1964/08/13/archives/ian-fleming-dead... (1964) His father, Major Valentine Fleming, at one time a Conservative member of Parliament, was killed while fighting on the Som

Maybe comic books didn't lead to delinquency I find it more interesting to entertain the possibility that they did . It's probably wrong (even if there were/is a correlation, the cause would likely be deeper — maybe

It irks me to see people in the comments using this video to fist-pump the American system. The Cuban system has major problems, but a part of their economic problem is 60 years of an American embargo. To be clear, the US system is better (

The ability to launch an old Mac binary is different than the Xcode project you used to build it being healthy. A developer can't open a ten year project and just submit it to the app store. Most likely it won't even build.

I emphatically agree with that. My complaint is that it feels like a hopeless battle to try and write good native desktop software today. Every year the OS's APIs and UI change... that means weeks or months tweaking your project ever

Most of that is true (well, except for web frameworks bring great; I don't think anything about web development achieves greatness) but, where Apple is concerned, much of the problem is the short release cycle they moved to about a dec

We're talking about peppering one's writing with brightly colored little pictures. If a dislike of that is anything, it's ageist: I don't want the way I write to give people the impression that I'm a ten year old.

What I'm saying is harmful is reporting some current event as if it is new and startling and unprecedented, when in fact it's not that unusual I agree the article is on the sensationalist side, but it's short of being

Please. Start checking for precedent when you see stories like this. I think you'll find it eye-opening. The math for a big newspaper is something like 100 years x 365 daily editions a year x 100+ stories per day. It's rat

I don't have a time frame for it. I just know that 'this is useful' historically doesn't save an online service (Napster, Ebay, Amazon, Reddit, Twitter, Google Search, etc) from disappearing or turning lousy. The fact th

'Depraved', 'deviant', 'perverted', 'unhinged', 'sociopathic', 'criminal'... the list of adjectives that apply to Facebook is very long indeed.

I expressed myself poorly. The fact that aspects of Sci-Hub are illegal is the reason I wrote the comment. In a perfect world, academic institutions would have combined their efforts to provide a viable equivalent to Sci-Hub legally . Whet

Sci-Hub is probably the best thing on the internet, but the fact that some rando had to create it doesn't speak well for the state of our world. If humanity weren't dysfunctional, academic institutions would have beaten Elbakyan t

I have a superstition: I don't see a robust future for Sci-Hub, Internet Archive or Wikipedia. The internet relentlessly turns everything into worthless trash, so Sci-Hub will die, Internet Archive will wind up with Doritos ads and a p

What content Google censors affects some minuscule percentage of searches, and, besides, much of that censorship probably suits the user's query better. In hindsight, its the second paragraph that was the greater concern: Google was no

I picture a future with hordes of millions of gullible fools who can be commanded like armies by social media demagogues. I watched a stream of a London anti-lockdown protest the other day, and that's more or less what occurred
