Reality does indeed have a well known liberal bias.

There is no comparison between what this administration is doing and any that have come before it. Attempting to draw that false equivalence is just pure foolishness.

I remember being more astonished that it took so long for it to finally happen. If he hadn't been the president, he would have been banned ages earlier. Same exact thing with this …

> I'm glad, tho, that twitter does not allow this. It does though? That is exactly what blocking does both before and after this change.

The point of blocking is to prevent harassment, no? Hiding the blocker's posts from the blockee puts up an additional barrier to interaction. Even if it can be circumvented, it sti…

I agree, but sadly it's getting harder and harder to do that sort of thing. It seems that almost inevitably, along with those fancy framework abstractions come tighter restrictions…

Absolutely. Any other normal person would have had their account permanently banned with no recourse.

This is exactly why I like to use a gaming keyboard with extra programmable function keys off to the left side. All the flexibility without having to override any default functiona…

I think you're misunderstanding. The "myth" being referred to in that third link is that it's beneficial to warm up your engine by letting it idle for a long time. This was previou…

So this is the kind of "free speech" that you get when conservative ideals meet reality, huh? How utterly unsurprising.
