That's not a similar situation in the least. Comparing calling out and calling for the removal of bad cops to holding the thin blue line ignores any bit of context there is.

"I'd love to learn other languages and stacks! It's just that, often, it isn't a worthy use of my time. All that time used into learning C++ and Qt would be better used in making a…

"For the last time, "existing design guidelines and patterns" is a myth." No, they aren't. "MacOS UI consistency is a mess." Not really. Most small developer programs I use follow …

As long as they are not calling out the cops doing wrong, there are no good cops.

I want both, and it's quite possible to have both.

No, please do. Explain to users why you need that, and why you feel you are important enough to bypass and ignore all of the existing design guidelines and patterns of whatever OS …

See, for a website, that's fine. But not for an application. Why would I not want an application that fits in well with my chosen OS, and follows the design guidelines and patterns…

I wish them the best of luck, but I don't think it's going to happen, because one of the big reasons Electron is popular is because web-dev people don't want to learn other languag…

Are you going to start lobby to make it illegal for companies to put anti-class action clauses in their ToS? Are you going to lobby to make it illegal for a company to force mandat…

Because there need to be national standards for education. The citizens of a state do not exist in a vacuum, and being taught Creationism instead of actual science is going to do g…

Eh, I feel one can be just as angry/outraged at Trump & Team as they can be at Congress for letting them get away with it. That, and given the upcoming midterm elections, I feel I …

I don't buy that, mainly because that only works if I can afford to sue those doing wrong. Most people cannot. Hence, why the government is there: to uphold these laws, and use eve…

To be quite frank, any amount of marketing is over marketing for this. I shouldn't have to pay a single cent to have that kind of monitoring; it is my data that they are using. I s…

Most things already are. But there are many things that do need to be a federal concern, because a state does not exist in a vacuum, nor is it a (metaphorical) island. Things like …

The Congress has the Constitutional Responsibility to act as a check on the Executive Branch, through several means, up to and including impeachment of the Executive. Trump has don…

So how would less regulation around data security (which is the thing that this is about) prevent another Equifax? Remember, you and I are not Equifax's customers, so we have no ab…

You're trying to equivocate basic human rights with being able to dump pollution in the water supply.

In that situation, the only funds for those agencies would come from fines. We're not at that situation. And I'm all in favor of the CFPB getting pretty heavy handed. I wanna see s…

Having children rarely contributes positively to the "accumulate wealth" goal.

Unfortunately, most of those committees don't have any actual power to enact anything. By resigning in protest, they at least prevent themselves from being used as justification to…

That doesn't sound like an analogous situation, though.

At the same time, we'd also be proponents of shutting down the connection of someone infected with a virus that is flooding the network with traffic. This would fall under the same…

Yeah, no. Again, you're arguing for the "freedom" to scam people. Not gonna happen. And you don't live in isolation; you are not an island. Those people that get scammed? They're n…

It's only a win if they don't get laid off or have their paychecks cut. And I'm pretty sure that the people who do it for their job, if they aren't able to find another one, would …

Why do you feel these workers are not entitled to basic human dignity and respect? Why is it that any time the workers try to get some piece of the massive prosperity that they've …
