He didn't say anything about YouTube being forced to do anything. "YouTube is wrong to do this" and "the government ought to force YouTube to act differently" are two distinct arguments.

First, I looked up the term "regressive left" and you might want to know your use of the term doesn't match its general usage, which might make it confusing. Secondly, I think you're doing yourself a disservice if you di

Why do you consider them part of the "regressive left"? Is it because you think they've behaved unethically, or are they hopelessly biased, or do you just disagree with them, or some other reason?

The words "free speech" and "1st amendment" are never used in the article. "Free press" is used only in passing. As far as I can tell, your mention of the 1st amendment is a complete non sequitur, and you are t

Maybe more pro-war in general, but is there any reason to believe Joe Biden won't try to pursue a similar Iranian strategy as Obama?

If you want to design artwork, Blender is probably the right tool. If you want to design functional items in a similar manner to Fusion360, FreeCAD is probably the best FOSS solution, though it is not as good as Fusion360.

I don't see anything that indicates his desire to carry a weapon has anything to do with the fact he is an Apple employee. Some people like to carry concealed weapons for protection.

The two most recommended options are variants of Xorshiro and PCG. There's a small comparison of the options in Rust's rand crate which I assume is neutral here: https://rust-random.github.io/book/guide-rngs.h

My perspective is that Nvidia released the 3080 at "$700" for marketing purposes and is selling most of their stock above $750.

The article pretty clearly says ROCm OpenCL. As I understand, support is not all or nothing, so it's possible it works without being officially supported. However, I think you're correct we'll have to see what Phoronix and ot

Except HP scammed its customers by promising free ink for life and delivering $0.99/month ink until the next price increase. It's hard to vote with your wallet if companies make false promises.

Unfortunately, companies have to respond to even grossly incorrect DMCA requests to avoid liability and there's no recourse against abusive requests.

I certainly believe it's unconstitutional but as an non-expert I think the courts feel skeptical of that argument (I believe they argue circumvention is conduct and not speech), and are perhaps less likely to review such cases because
