I think it should be fairly obvious to most here, but it bears repeating that any service which requires a phone number for 2FA is to be avoided like the plague.

Do you guys think there's any realistic hope today (not accounting for what kind of horrible stuff might be possible in the future) of being able to keep your 'genuine' online acti…

I don't think this is about competition. It's about a belligerent foreign government posing a threat to national security. Now you could argue that's a classic Dubya style ad hoc e…

Ok. That's an argument for why this is unconstitutional, but not for why congress would be unable to declare it so.

Why would congress struggle to pass it through a constitutional review? Plenty of Trump's EOs have been ruled unconstitutional. He may feel that his authority extends beyond checks…

I'm more worried about the effect this will have on the overall public perception of the TikTok issue than anything else. During a time of such intense civil unrest, when people ar…

> advanced persistent threat to US democracy I don't see what this has to do with our electoral system. That seems like a rather narrow and emotionally charged stance to take on th…

I think people generally give a lot of undue clout to what Elon says, just because they pattern match "Elon Musk" with "smart guy". Granted, I think the hate bandwagon against him …

I could be wrong, but lately I've been taking the approach that as long as I state my beliefs with as much reasonability and clarity as I can possibly muster, and am willing to adm…

I agree. It seems to me that the best course of action at this point is to continue aggressive safety measures. I'm not a virology expert by any means, but it kinda makes intuitive…

I find it interesting how this situation is beginning to feel normal to me. I'm only 20, so I've never really consciously lived through a world event of anything even approaching t…

>Maybe so that the backends could be independent? Funny, I misread 'backends' as 'backdoors'.

I disagree that Windows is the only platform for gamers. Obviously wine isn’t perfect yet, and getting banned from online games can certainly be a problem, but it’s gotten to the p…
