That's a huge misreading. Hiding comments in the UI empirically does not suppress discussion, if anything it actually attracts engagement. Lots of people are seeking the "wrong" to…

It's not "richer countries", unless none exist in Europe or Asia. SMS has only kept its primacy for text communication in North America. Also note the RoW has never had to pay to r…

These are not product placements, it's as if someone wrote a movie or TV episode literally with an ad break.

I don't want KDE but I would much prefer gnome to macos desktop, I think it's both prettier and more functional, and that's not a tahoe thing. I hate finder too, and don't see any …

sounds like 100% risk of getting scammed

Could we perhaps include medical care in the necessities don't you think?

UBI discussion invariably is way off the mark. The only thing UBI solves is how to give out the money, which is a massive misdirection, the real problem is how to get the money. Do…

(regardless of the fact Google is included in the suit;) Youtube is a different model I think. Yes you can burn time with it forever if you are bored, but it's not the relentless d…

The range of stars is very deliberately NOT zero indexed, you cannot rate a product below 1.

Your introductory paragraph comes across very much like "people who want to change the status quo are political and people who want to maintain it are not"; which is clearly nonsen…

>Uptime 5 weeks, 1 day, 3 hours, 46 minutes Seems to have had no issue whatsoever! Even through the whole night period. Shows the depth of inefficiency of our 'advanced' systems.

It's been happening, it's just one abstraction away. They have demonised unions for decades in US discourse.

Indeed. RAM is the tool of planned obselecence (and profiteering for that matter).

So there is not a magical space where the law does not apply? that is what you call hypocritical.

You don't say it's "especially" red then do you. The comparison was started by the GP.

No, the monarch does not pick the Prime Minister. At all. They have a ceremonial role in confirming them. Like they do with every law that Parliament creates. If they ever actually…

There's a confusion here. Gaol is simply a rarely used (I would say archaic) spelling of jail. It does not mean prison. British English also differentiates jail and prison, by exte…

o2 is the UK's largest mobile network operator. They bought naming rights to what was known as the millennium dome (not even a stadium).
