> keeping in mind the First Amendment? The first amendment doesn't apply to companies. Shutting down TikTok doesn't prevent you from exercising free speech. That's not how it works…

The ship has sailed on us being able to deal with influences like modern social media on an individual level. Modern social media like TikTok, Twitter and even YouTube Shorts are f…

The ship has sailed on hoping for individual solutions. Probably sailed long before we as a species could be considered homo sapiens. I'm not sure why there's this weird reluctance…

Who do you think voted for Trump? You point out that it's perfectly possible to live a "simple" rural life. I see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beggars_in_Spain and the reason why …

How about Reuters and some others? https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-... https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/tesla-to-re... https://ca.financ…

It's not nationalistic and it's not flaming. Are you a fucking shill or just retarded?

If you're allowing a single data point to have that much power over what or how you think, you've already lost. Especially if you decide to ignore context like "I just lost water b…

It's not unsubstantive or flamebait. It's fact. Chinese companies have been throwing a lot of money at Western companies for years, which gives the CCP a crazy amount of influence …

Serious question. If I want to build a game that looks like this today, what are my options? Anybody know?

This is like...two decades too late. China has their fingers in everything now.

I mean, until somebody does something about it, there's value in repeating it over and over. Maybe at some point it'll sink in how criminal these companies are.

Can you explain the Microsoft bit? There's an ocean of difference between Microsoft and Apple. You can pretty much pick any MS API from the past 20 years and it'll still work on Wi…

I mean, the problem isn't the university or the students or the people on the board. It's how the CCP uses its relationships to push its agenda and (incompatible-with-ours) values …

I find Schmachtenburger hard to listen to. He rejects all media outright because it's all not true or propaganda. Might as well go live in a cave. If you listen to news, whether it…

RSS is really common terminology for the topic (memory allocation). You couldn't Google for 'RSS memory'? I don't agree that every article should cater to a layperson who has zero …

We have to be prepared to sacrifice if we're to effect change in the world.

Well, we figured if we're so powerless, we might as well punish the US for their misdeeds in other ways. You're welcome.

I don't see how it's discouraging. I find it far more discouraging and depressing when people say the 10000 hours is a myth and deliberate practice is a waste of time. What exactly…

I think it's concerning that everybody seems to think it's okay for companies to clamp down on political discourse. Where do people think we're supposed to talk about this shit? Wh…

It actually doesn't provide a prompt. It silently denies access (I think maybe it shows a notification in the bottom right?) and that's that. You have to navigate to the protection…

It's their ransomware protection. The last time I tried it months ago, it was really aggressive to the point that it made it uncomfortable to work with my computer. Maybe that's ne…

Awesome, thanks.

Unfortunate that the contact us page doesn't work. I'm interested, but I wanted to ask if a FF extension is planned, since that's my primary browser.

Why even bother with an authenticator if they're not going to recognize it for something like this? Why should I have to send them an ID? I tried deleting my account multiple times…

The only feasible way to avoid sharing data with Google is using a custom ROM like LineageOS, a Google framework replacement like microG, and XPrivacyLua (module for XPosed). Ideal…
