Just debate, talk more. You'll get lots of kudos and people agreeing with you. The dummies will stay dumb. Why do you lack confidence in your positions and feel justified in appealing to power to silence your opposition? Probably be

A strong Internet Bill of Rights (IBOR) would wreck lots of surveillance state tools, shady business models, and the burgeoning censorship industrial complex. I wonder if undermining terms of service in this way is a stop on the road to IBO

> Government money is artificially scarce Wot? Not sure how to respond to something so silly. I hope you mistyped. From whence does one derive their "money supply"? Scrip is a placeholder for value like any other printed cur

Sounds like a stimulus sugar rush to get them out of a funk. When national currencies collapse, local communities that issue scrip to facilitate ongoing commerce fare well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrip

I am an average, flawed and vulnerable human. I am aware everything I value and love including my life can be taken from me. Should that happen, I don't consider that a special punishment from God any more than my current condition is

Word choice can help your thinking. We all receive different struggles and decide how to respond. The way you describe your 'luck', I read as "random good fortune" tinged with some guilt for being a 'have' whe

So these patchers are monkey patching a system executable needed to have a bootable/usable system? Why is this allowed? This sounds like a small hell. I left Windows the moment we shifted from "developers, developers, developers,

To juice their ESG rating to maintain their bond rating, I imagine. Same reason Gilette and Nike and every other megabrand suicided over the past 5 years. All to keep getting the speculation fiat buckerinos.

A gist, the digital equivalent of scribblings on a stained cocktail napkin, lays bare the great mystery. The great dragon is slain! His precious treasure is of no value whatsoever. Fellow scrounging raccoons, raise your chipped mugs and cr

Pro-vaxxx team-sport zealots like this guy only inflame vaccine hesitancy in otherwise reasonable people. Stop scaring people off with your othering, jerkface attitude. History will be the judge as to whether you are right about a particula

Bullcrap. This is just a demoralization play from an ubermensch who doesn't want young bucks trying hard like he did and perhaps giving him and his friends some competition/grief. No one knows what they're doing when they ar

I was worried that making MacOS free with the purchase of Macs would lead to it withering on the vine and/or become a featureitis junkie. Is that the case here? Not enough regular care and cage cleaning? This seems like a DEI class-a

Penitentiaries are supposed to engender penitence. "Maybe I am part of 'the problem'." Having that observation, becoming humble, and owning up to one's mistakes is very hard to do. In fact, short of the world burni

Jobs was ahead of his time, and he pushed the vision of HTML5 and offline apps. He was resistant to app stores, I suspect, because he wanted maximum freedom for users in the future rather than the corporatized, schlock-filled, freedom res

The psychology of knowing ahead of time you'll delete all the code is interesting. Devs would be in hack-hack-hack mode and not worry about design - the goal is just explore all the territory to find the hilly parts and landmines. Mo

You're placing a lot of faith in a system whose power would have long-since been stolen from the people.

I cannot abide. What is your point? That the last 5 years have seen _fewer_ true conspiracies and clownish gaslightings? Are you quibbling over the number 5 or something?

I think fiat is dying and all the bond values are going to zero which will prevent the big megacorps from paying their bills. That collapse is a better explanation of the curious, brand-destroying things these companies have done recently.

Imperative shell, (ever-expanding-through-relentless-refactoring) functional core seems to work pretty well for practical applications. Modern Java gets the job done in that regard. What I don't like is the concentration level require

One thing metformin does is occasionally encourage cells to burn excess energy rather than store it. This may lead to extra cellular repair processes. I heard cancer rates were lower in metformin users and could extend life. Had my doc p
