Congratulations! I love BBEdit.

We've already established that they are perfectly capable of ignoring people. The only people they listen to or care about are domestic nazis. Those nasty regimes should just regis…

Now do the scenario where the police help the Neo-Nazis commit the murders, but will not protect the library. Because that's CloudFlare.

They are both caching, which is hosting. We'll leave out that DDoS protection is a PII nightmare, and that CloudFlare is essentially spyware. For now. Their reasoning is the best t…

Kiwi Farms recently DDoSed a suicide prevention hotline. So you are factually wrong.

This is a truly wonderful example of corporate communication that should be taught on university communications courses. Because it is absolutely the worst example of not even both…

Every number is a number, including zero. Therefore some number of members of any given group have been discriminated against. Therefore any group is indeed discriminated against. …

Which of these options worked for you?

It's a Dunning-Krugerish non-solution, sold as an init system trojan that is replacing more and more of the OS with less and less understanding of how it would need to work in orde…

These wouldn't be FOSS, and wouldn't have the effects people hope for.

This article is status signaling, not critique.

Are there any non-joke publications that critiqued his writing?

How exactly would they make a proprietary Linux distro?

And what happens when those signals are distorted? Remove the state and there are still many things that can go wrong with a market. Price signals become a way of laundering this f…

How much should workers pay their employers for being able to work, since working is a benefit? We can differ reasonably about how much, surely. A minimum wage is not set in a vacu…

I see that the humanities are continuing with their unexamined sense of entitlement to colonize other disciplines. This obsession with teaching (tech) workers ethics is a bourgeois…

This is a misunderstanding of the concept of "trusted third parties". Incredibly, yes, you have to rely on the software that you use to perform tasks to perform them. But this is n…
