As a Chrome apologist really this pisses me off but I've been waiting for this forever and applaud the team (especially if they beat Chrome to landing this in a stable release)

False dichotomy; I alternate between ignoring it AND being annoyed by it

The ~7000 QAnon accounts they banned don't fit your narrative I'm afraid. There are now several intermediate steps they've added since then, like clear warnings [1]. This allows th…

Yes that's the go-to copypasta reply. ("Literally" here meaning "not literally.") Twitter changed their policy in response to criticism of the Biden tweets to "no longer remove hac…

It's not a bug to disallow "distribution of hacked material" in your Terms of Service. If you think it was political, you should certainly inform the FEC! They found that Twitter h…

For sake of discussion: aren't there uses of this that aren't nefarious? Their claim that employees intending to leave "may put the organization at risk of malicious or inadvertent…

Does your general comment have to do with this specific study? They mention controlling for all the things you mentioned.

yes, this is mentioned in the article > there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower mortality risk among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consi…

Yes this is mentioned in the article > the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that low…

I've had people try to guess my login with Company ABC once they learned of my CompanyXYZ@mydomain.com address. Avoiding the reuse of email addresses helps here, the same way avoid…

Calendar apps are so complicated and tightly integrated with other productivity apps now I'm not sure the benefit of simplicity here outweighs the cost of losing that. My Google ca…

That was an SPAC in 2016, OP said "the night of the DNC primary in 2015." I was there for the CTR debacle, the SPAC hasn't existed since 2016(?), do you think they're still funding…

I've never heard someone say "the night of the DNC primary in 2015 there was a dramatic shift." Not sure what your comment about ads is related to.

Mine's older than yours and I don't know what you mean, the DNC targeted reddit? Dramatic shift? Reddit started far left (being focused on science and tech) even horse-shoeing to t…

No, it changed reddit from having interesting content and mostly useful constructive commentary to being full of memes and jokes (like Digg). Sure there were pun threads before, bu…

The biggest change came after the migration from Digg, which would have been about 5 years prior. the_donald brought a lot of a younger users and white supremacists. I haven't seen…

Right it varies greatly depending on dose. If you don't know the exact dose your friend took (they don't sound like an anesthesiologist) then you're insulting someone you likely kn…

Erp, sorry, you already dismissed me as "just a jerk" when I gave you a chance to reply. I'd read what you wrote, but I don't want you to regret "engaging" again.

You're talking about the site that hosted the biggest hugbox for republicans on the internet before it got banned (the_donald). /r/conservative is 50k shy of a million users. White…

Sorry if I came off that way, make sure to flag me. A big draw of the site was that it was so focused on politics, science and programming; if you'd been a regular user you just wo…
