This doesn't make any sense. How does paying for some erratic billionaire's pet project equals to supporting free speech? There are way better alternatives to support free speech. Don't waste your money on X.

Seeing that more users are getting their news from TikTok, I doubt that the average quality has increased. Considering that TikTok is under control of the authoritarian Chinese government, the Canadian Facebook ban may have opened the door

It’s what happens when you erode the rule of law - even as a democracy - and push a simplistic narrative of good guys and bad guys. Us versus them, the left versus the right - and of course we are the good ones. As a democracy we must hold

Huh, that’s not my experience. My wife rides to work on her R&M e-bike, every working day, all year round, in sun, rain or snow. Daily distance is about 40km (25 miles), two hours back and forth. Not a single major problem caused by wat

And the death penalty for the engineer who didn’t patch a vulnerability or the software developer who wrote the buggy code. That will teach them! Judge Hindsight is ready to punish the victims. Hacks happen. Where starts or ends someone’s r

Well, they already had the Xictionary, a "dictionary" of Xi-related words, thoughts and quotes. I guess a complete LLM based on the CCP cult leader is the next new quality productive force in this whole-process people's democ

It’s a bit weird to see a French translation of the Flemish proverb right in the middle of the engravings, although in a smaller type. The engravings are from the 16th century, already then there were apparently tensions between the Flemish

I think nearly all the house cleaners will be extremely surprised to hear that they earn $50 an hour. Even more, they get all their travel-related costs reimbursed! Oddly enough, that's not what they see on their payslip. And that&#x27

I do remember Steve Jobs wanted "to go thermonuclear" on Android (mostly Samsung and Google), saying "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product." Other motives, same behavior.
