You, sir, are an idiot. Keep playing victim, though; I'm sure that'll work out for you.

No. The Tiktok ban is because the PRC is using it to track US (and other country's') citizens. This is fundamentally no different than what Facebook has been doing for years, but China doesn't have a free market, so every p

They speak French in Louisiana, German in Amish Country, Gullah in North Carolina... Your ignorance doesn't make you correct.

The difference between California, Texas, South Dakota, Maine, Ohio are as different as Turkey, France, Australia, Ireland, Japan... It's a really foolish opinion or disregard the immense diversity of 350,000,000 people, and (unfortun

Yeah, the TikTok ban isn't about restricting content for US users, it's about restricting the data vacuum that is the PRC. TikTok has already been banned for Govmnt employees for years. And, for good reason. Sometimes, we have t

I remember when Facebook released an "OS" for the phone (it was really just a skin for Android). While I'm really happy to see that FB is making another stab into the field with the Quest, and I'm very happy that we&#x2

You have to squint pretty hard to think that I'm "trash talking" anything in my post.

While The White House (and actual Rust and Go enjoyers) are advocating for these safe memory-safe languages; what is really going on is that the warts these languages have are just not as well known yet. In a few years time Go will be just

I'll go ahead and say that neovim is bad. Any reason to use neovim has long since past. I didn't start the editor wars, but the neovim team jumped in with both feet. They deserve the ire of those of us who never wanted to see vi

The scariest difference between OpenAI and Google right now is: Ask Gemini who owns the code it writes, and it'll confidently say that Google does. Ask OpenAI, and it'll say that you do. It's that easy to choose which one

This is exactly my problem. For some things it's great, but it quickly forgets things that are critical for extended work. When trying to put together and sort of complex work: it does not remember things until I remind it which can

"Meta doesn't have that good will to draw on" this is literally what drove my purchase. I just don't trust FB to respect me as a human, let alone as a paying customer. I think, "Yeah, Apple is over-priced. But,

At best, and most forgiving, the AVP is trying to not be a VR headset. I guess it's pretty "resolutionary" to not be the thing that you obviously are.

Here's my complaints, while we're complaining: + Apple appears to have worked *VERY* hard to make sure that there is no VR capability in it's VR headset. Most obvious is that it cannot play SBS video, as far as I can tell, a

As a dyslexic person, I can assure you that reading is not a universally enjoyable activity. You should enjoy your gifts, though. I do enjoy a good walk.

Now, I'm certain that this article is about frustration at self-improvement/fitness buzz-feed "listicles" and the author may have had a passing glance about Deming's Management Cycle and connected these two ideas.

This discussion always drives my mind back to what it's like to be a "Corporate Citizen" Like, when the free market has completely taken over: What is it actually going to be like. I think Apple is the closest to serving man

This article praises the game community too much. A very good reason to avoid gave development is to avoid the gamers themselves. You really are taking a chance when you dump millions of dollars into a AAA title, just to have it shat-on by

Flying is a truly horrible experience. All the victim-blaming in the world won’t help either. I say: time to cut federal spending on keeping airlines in business. If United, et. al., can’t cut it as a business… so be it. Maybe, if we let T

I remember the first time I saw a declarative language, I also immediately saw it as an AST. It’s so validating to see it being explored by other people too.

“Tax-Industrial Conplex”?! If you had something to say, it’s now lost behind your rhetoric. "Eisenhower's farewell address to the nation" does not commute to H&R Block. This is a foolish misquote that absolutely reeks of
