> I keep forgetting that there is a requirement to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in US schools There most certainly is not. The pledge is common in schools but the Supreme Court …

I would take healthcare I have to wait a bit for over healthcare that could cripple me financially thanks.

This is so good and almost exactly expresses my own thoughts. There's a narrow window where it's capable and fits a need of tedious work (mostly around automating tasks it would ta…

Yeah I’m still going to read AND write code thanks.

I think it’s both but depends on the device. For a tractor or car the author’s case is mostly correct. For a smart watch it’s more likely what you describe.

That’s because certain dog breeds aren’t more likely to maul and saying otherwise is ignorant fear mongering.

Are you saying we’ll be greeted as liberators?

This is the case in other areas though. I keep some of my passkeys in BitWarden and that is cross device/platform as well.

I have a Logitech MX Vertical and it works flawlessly.

Here’s a simple decision tree: Do you run any exotic hardware? Do you run MS Office regularly? Do you run any highly specialized software? If the answer is no to all those then Lin…

Yes but the headwinds of Linux adoption are (to some extent) that Linux is the best choice for A, but it is not far and away the best choice for B (not saying it’s bad or even wors…

I don't think I understand the point of this. I colored in the players for US, Russia, and China (should be that way by default I'd have thought). But I have no idea what to "simul…

I do things for free all the time. I love my kids for free. I serve the less fortunate for free. If I have the time and resources and it makes the world a better place free is my d…

For sure. We could never have universal benefits like roads, childhood education, firefighters, etc. That would never work.

Considering Mozilla’s flagship browser (Firefox desktop) doesn’t even support the feature, I don’t exactly take that as a good sign.

Means testing has its own issues. How do you decide what the lines are? How do you design it for people just outside those lines that keeps it fair? Who enforces it? What happens w…

Ahh so the constitution doesn’t apply to non-citizens? The Supreme Court disagrees: There are literally millions of aliens within the jurisdiction of the United States. The Fifth A…

Free speech means you have the right to campaign for those very things. Criticism is the most fundamental aspect of free speech.

It would have been helpful if I had seen this BEFORE Christmas. lol

“Here’s the thing: I am 100% sure these things are connected. The more people block ads, the more aggressive advertising became.” This is naive at best. Some of the worst ads (popu…

It would also be, in my opinion, very against the spirit of Open Source to require an account to download code for a piece of software.

If you know of one for iOS I’d love to hear about it.

A group is a collection of individuals. Anecdotes != data and whatnot, but by my observations people don’t always make purely rational economic decisions, so if you were going to a…
