Can't we make a very similar point about voting at the ballot box?

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

If you want to take the weirdness a step further, just look at the plural for "woman". When you write "women" you only change the second vowel, but when you pronounce that same word you only change the first.

Franklin was talking about freedom of the local government to tax, as in "those who surrender their right to decide who gets taxed, merely to obtain some money for immediate defence, risk losing both their political independence and their security."

Funny how a defence of representative government's authority is turned into a warning against government exercising that authority in the wrong way. :)

And then you have to reach the x/c/v which is right of the command key. Your thumb would move to the left, your index finger moves over it to the right, and thereby your thumb indeed gets rolled under your palm.

That is quite an angle you are describing, forcing you to roll your thumb under your palm exactly like Apple says you shouldn't do in its Mac Ergonomics document.

Resting your pinky naturally on control is quite easy because as it turns out, your fingers are not of equal length. So if you put your hand down on the keyboard in its most relaxed, natural position, most of your fingers may end up on the middle row and a shift. From there you only need to slide your relaxed hand downwards to get it in the perfect position for a ctrl-c/v action: Pinky on control, index finger on the x/c/v.

You may want to point your ire at the right parties, because that is not a GDPR demand.

I would also question the reliability of the sources. Who said so? Are they comparing the right numbers?

For example, in 2021 Twitter didn't report monthly users, but "monetisable daily active users", a metric that Musk did not understand.

I think that 650 million of X comes from a report of the SEC, but it also includes just users of Grok, not just the social media section.

So it's a different type of user, over a different time period, for a different service.

Please elaborate, because sibling comment explained exactly what you have missed.

If you think that something extremely basic seems something that is hard to grasp for other people, it's usually because you're misunderstanding the situation, not because other people are failing to grasp the extremely basic thing.

Macs are model of PCs of a specific brand that closes their PCs down. Continuing to treat Macs as different from other PCs is exactly what lifts scrutiny if they decide to implement notarisation on MacOS. "After all, it's not like it's a PC."

A typo? Twice in the same post? In both places where "he" would normally appear? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

The latter, obviously, and that is what's happening with the Digital Omnibus.

Because that is the joke.

Electing a dictator because you like their policies does not change the fact that you end up in a dictatorship.

Likewise, having voted for a corporation that takes away freedoms does not make your opinion relevant: you are still not the one in control, and neither is anyone else who bought in.
