I don’t understand how that conclusion follows from that comparison. We also wouldn’t describe the current day as “after the flu”. Both are endemic.

I have a relatively high-end desktop with a nice monitor. I also have an aging laptop with a tiny screen and an anemic amount of RAM. Most of my computing ends up being done on the…

Part of Apple clearly wants to do that with Focuses giving more control around what notifications people get in which contexts. Unfortunately other parts seem to think the opposite…

Great explanation. F-Zero managed to do the “change zoom on each scanline” trick without a coprocessor in the cartridge, didn’t it?

It’s been possible for years. I’m not sure what a good definition of “practical” would be though. https://bellard.org/jslinux/

Fair point.

MS is still probably somewhere in the supply chain of software you use. They have contributed to the Linux Kernel, they own GitHub and NPM, they make an extremely popular editor, a…

In practice, customers can also make requests via private support tickets. I’ve seen GitLab determine priority of an issue based partially on demand from paying customers.

The Pirate Bay may never have deleted anything, but they also don't host any of the music. Just because a torrent exists doesn't mean anyone is seeding it.

What precisely did the creators of Podman Desktop do that was unethical? I'm not sure if by "ripoff" you mean "copyright infringement" or something else.

I agree that it denotes an imbalance. I also agree that terms like "white privilege" are intended as criticism. However I don't see them as criticism of the individual who has the …

My associations are mostly neutral. It can even be positive in certain contexts, like "It was a privilege to meet him".

I'm not suggesting one implies the other. Are you saying the only advantage one could possibly have is economic? Or maybe that you'd expect all advantages and disadvantages to be r…

Why do you believe "privilege" is a negative word? Also, assuming you mean Robin DiAngelo, what of hers have you read? She's pretty clear in both White Fragility and Nice Racism in…

Why can't whiteness and wealthiness both be types of privilege?

Thank you, I had missed that it was moved out of contrib.
