This is marketing copy. Criticizing it for being marketing copy is surely a little redundant. Besides, feelings matter. If the majority of VPN users felt that the security provided by the VPN was not worth the effort involved in using then

I'm not suggesting anything, I'm not the OP. But to my mind they were suggesting that it is the kind of number that could come out of a negotiation and seem appropriate.

Attributing this to laziness is absolutely wrong, IMO. The political process and system is deeply broken and people realise that they cannot make their voices heard through it. So they find alternatives.

I understand the frustration around no IMAP but by the sound of it the UI for Hey ("there's no Inbox, there's Imbox") implies that it might not make sense for this to be accessed in the way normal e-mail is.

In the specific story the OP linked to (about college students) that's true. But I don't think that automatically means working class people are not demanding similar spaces for themselves. Can you be sure they aren't?

I see we’ve already downgraded to “several parts” of the statement. But you’re right, if you refuse to actually articulate your objection then no, we cannot have a productive discussion.

Then why does it matter whether he is a "saint" or not? I could see your argument if he was angrily brandishing a gun and they had to make a quick decision to act, but that's very obviously not the case.

In all seriousness, what is incorrect about that statement? Take a look at all the video taken since Saturday, then compare it to, say, the protests against lockdowns just a few weeks ago. Surely you see the very notable difference?

Watching the videos posted online it certainly seems that the journalists were chosen as targets. At a bare minumum the police knew they were press (given that they are wearing badges indicating as such, often holding them above their hea

Why do you think the people protesting want to burn down the entirety of US democracy? Nothing I have seen would suggest that.

How do we know the person behind the Rust twitter account doesn’t actually care? Because that’s the clear implication in labelling them a virtue signaller.

Is it even worth going through the ways in which US democracy is broken? From the electoral system itself all the way down to extremely obvious voter suppression efforts (often specifically targeting black people), you really can't be

The negative use of the term "virtue signalling" honestly baffles me. Why on earth is publicly stating your beliefs is a bad thing? Communication is how ideas spread.

I have to agree. I still haven’t used hooks yet and I’m sure I’ll get used to them when I do, but by comparison to this article Svelte is a breath of fresh air. It’s simple, it works. A lot of people object to it because it’s very different
