    That isn't a change of physiology, it's a change of our external environment. AFAIK there's no evidence to show humans living 100 years ago would respond any differently to modern …

    Considering: - a century ago a greater percentage of people were "normal" weight - human physiology has not changed much over the past century - our current definitions of overweig…

    Of course there is. If someone hits their spending limit, asynchronously shut off the services (using the same API call that your customers can use, so no need to alter the system)…

    The reason Apple and Google continually patch and change their rules is because they have been playing a cat and mouse game with bad actors who, for decades, have continued to find…

    You completely ignored the substantive part of my post, so I'll restate without distractions. 1. Do you believe that with these latest round of updates, our benevolent corporate ov…

    The crackdown was fairly recent, right? Do you think we should trust that both companies have at long last perfectly solved all privacy problems with this latest crackdown and now …

    We're talking T&Cs here. How would typing in your location invalidate you agreeing to (what a company would like to believe is legally binding) clickwrap T&Cs? Even if you deny ind…

    It sounds like you're advocating for a world where ordinary people need to choose between: - not knowing the weather this weekend - knowing the weather and signing away their first…

    1. Why would you ever login to youtube in the first place? 2. There's strength in numbers. Between adblockers, foss clients, and youtube-dl/yt-dlp, there are probably tens to hundr…

    fwiw you can mix git and jj commands on the same repo and everything will work fine. If you want to stick with 99% git commands, and use jj only as a replacement for git-absorb, yo…
