I'd prefer living in a world where social security is enough for me not to worry about things like "saving money".

Nope. I'd rather there not be a thing called a stock market at all.

So something that produces nothing of value to civilization. Gotcha.

Uh? Where did you get that comparison? China's top income tax rate is 45%. I cannot see how that could ever be "far below" what someone's income tax rate would be in California (37…

Ah yes, the famous centrally planned economy of San Francisco, California, USA.

So Next.js did everything right, but is built upon React that does too much. Okay?

Make sure that someone doesn't tamper with your device. No, it's not infallible. Yes, it's better than nothing.

Your first link is an obvious PR piece to stave off customers' panic.

I don't know where you got the impression that google fonts was "automatically banned". > Why wouldn't a "agreement" already be in place by the mere fact that those URLs are open t…

It only seems complex because everyone has been implementing user-hostile datamining operations for years before GDPR was enacted. So for every external service you use, you must m…

How is a game running at 144 FPS more "fun" than one running at 60 FPS?

While the sibling comment has answered on why this is nothing like social media or video games, I do wish that the energy cost of these activities was taken into account more often…

Sure. Continue to pollute.

And I get angry when selfish people refuse to do anything to lower their emissions and impact me and my family.

You bought a shitty heat pump and decided you were okay with living in a state that produces electricity using fossil fuels. What's your point again?

We can get rid of a whole percent in emissions by giving up nothing important, and you think it's not a regulation that the government should pass?! What should the threshold for a…

Look, I just created a file named "aux.rs" on my Windows machine. It's not true.

Every common command has a short alias, or often multiple short alias. Get-ChildItem => "ls", "gci". Get-Content => "gc", "cat". These aliases are standardized, you can look them u…

It's just a knee-jerk reaction people have in any thread where powershell is mentioned. "Hur hur long command names." Doesn't bring anything to the discussion.

> There's a "aux.rs", also a verboten filename in Windows. That's not true. > And then there were some that differed only in case, which honestly I don't know how we manage that, a…

What were you expecting? Scientific notation with error margins? "We fired 5×10²±5 employees"?

What makes you think that 500 is the actual, exact number? It's probably just an approximation used in that PR piece.

The US is not a beacon of consumer safety. In my European country, having your phone in your hand while driving is illegal.
