My biggest fear around this is that these solutions incentivise the biggest pharma companies to stop researching actual cures. I don’t want to have to deal with these devices, I just want it dealt with.

I couldn’t agree more, well said

1000%, recommendation algorithms inevitably maximise for emotional reactions, promoting polarisation and negativity.

I am literally never able to install my household name desktop apps that I use daily on Mac, when I try Ubuntu, without the thing crashing my whole computer. It’s insane.

This opinion is terrifying to me. Why has our culture become so authoritarian?

They are (almost?) all configurable using QMK, custom firmware or even Via :)

Speaking from Australia, we have outstanding customer protection and rights, and no massive hoops or hurdles to go to get it that would be more significant than anything in the US. It’s really much more just. Fraud or improper charges are also easily immediately rescinded if using a credit card. What kind of cover for fees for international use are you talking about?

The commenter wasn’t talking about all people having to work at the office all of the time, merely that fully remote was not good and not favoured by young engineers. And he was spot on. I’m a young engineer in my 20s and if I don’t get in-person training soon (I started over a year ago and haven’t gotten any since we’ve been remote the entire time), I’m going to quit and go elsewhere. This is in spite of working in the best team of engineers in my city, working on an awesome problem. But I can’t sacrifice my career for their desire to work from home.

I’m shocked that people are surprised that censorship escalates. This is the natural consequence. Censorship should be restricted to calls for, threats of or plans of violence, that’s it. And maybe denial of well-documented genocides. Does anyone know any other easy, clear cut, lines in the sand?

Greed. Pure, unadulterated, unjustified greed. Why should Apple get 15%? It’s just disgusting.

“ Anarchists are simply people who believe human beings are capable of behaving in a reasonable fashion without having to be forced to. “

Lol you lost me immediately. This is essentially pretending anti-vaccers and other groups of people just don’t exist. Just because you’re in a bubble of educated, reasonable people, doesn’t mean everyone is like that, sadly.

If you get your news from Facebook, you’re doing it wrong.

No they don’t, they only have to provide details of why they downranked the website if they do so. This is to avoid them intentionally downranking the papers to hurt them. Stop spreading lies.

Lol this is just not true. Fairfax, for example, will be completely fine. You’re honestly pushing a lobbyist’s narrative. Small papers don’t rely on Facebook click throughs.

Exactly, “on a part of the digital platform service that is set up and able to be edited by the registered news business“, i.e. on the news site’s own personal page, which is already possible.
