I switched years back and have only wondered why I didn’t do it sooner.

That’s why the Mac mini and studio are selling like hotcakes. Massive unified memory with massive cpu performance, with a solid hardware. If I had 3-4K burning a hole in my pocket I know what I’d be getting.

Capitalism is just another farce without good regulation.

> antifa supporters on HN

Come again? If you have umbrage against antifa, surely you’re pro fascist?

> Most Americans remember how we couldn't even question COVID, DEI or kneeling for blacks and support law enforcement efforts

What do they even have anything to do with each other, except for them being right-wing talking points?

It feels more like a reverse psyop, like “look we are wearing masks now, isn’t this what you wanted”?

As long as the sides keep reducing common ground, the farther away from government for the people, by the people we go.

> The article is talking about a license plate scanner website that was being used to track the movements of ICE vehicles, follow them and harass agents.

I fail to understand why this is a problem when they do the exact same thing to civilians? On top of that there are companies like Flock who monitor civilians when ICE isn’t there.

I don’t get why you love ICE so much and want to protect them like they’re doing you some big service and not going around instilling fear in others. Have you been living under a rock?

> a massive organized anti-ICE operation?

What operation? Did they go around hacking into servers and invade their privacy?

> Headline makes it seem like ICE just did this in a vacuum.

Would they not do it in a vacuum? There’s been a a vagrant disregard for laws on their side. Why are they getting the benefit of the doubt here? It’s very clear they have been targeting certain demographics and political leaning from its institution.

My “hot take”: they’re going the direction of Disney/Marvel hybrid. Have a few handful of IPs that are extremely successful, milk it out with licensing deals in every vertical (toys, games, merch, cross-dlcs, books, etc). They’re just missing theme parks. The actual game development portion would probably be very small.

Very disappointing that the Music app on iOS doesn’t render the page. Would have been super cool to scroll in the app with some haptic feedback along with the click sound. I can understand why it won’t be there as you can’t directly navigate to a pre-determined page, but instead they force you to portal through their search button.

Even still, I’m a little sad knowing what could have been! :(

> Have you tried?

Just in one of the super blue states. My buddy lives in Texas, he’s got a couple of guns and says is easy to get.

> There are far more grown men driving lifted trucks with glow lights on them than serious threats.

The problem is these guys join ICE or act like they are, and that’s a serious threat. If you brandish Stars and Stripes / Dont Tread on Me, even if you’re a poser I’m not going to take a risk of finding out. That in itself is powerful.

> Is it practical to give weapons and combat vehicles

I get what you mean, but with how easy it is to get a gun (especially in red states), it is practical in the sense that it seems pretty easy to do and there’s no shortage.

But should we? I agree with you, absolutely fucking not.

> privacy, checks and balances, and responsibility

In their eyes it goes like this:

Privacy:- why do you need it if you have nothing to hide?

Checks and balances:- you are the balance and I’m here to check you

Responsibility:- it is my responsibility to check you

I want to say I’m being sarcastic but I don’t know anymore. Arguably their motivation is to hunt and jail people, so it feels like “personal gain” on the fringes. No job is so far removed that it’s devoid of personal gain.

Maybe that last part was a smidge too radical.

> If you're enforcing the law, you need to actually know its contents and how it works.

Not disagreeing but I can’t see how this would be practical. I think any college degree should be the absolute minimum though.
