I use safari every day with content blockers and literally never see ads. I use adguard + Safaris own content blockers. Part of the reason I enjoy Safari is that I've found its content blocking system to be very coherent

I think that structure, accountability, and community are the big draws towards school. For young people I think that these are extremely important- when I was in school- taking 6 classes meant I spent a roughly 40 hour work week on school

Theyre not mutually exclusive. Human communication is impossible to get perfect. You have to strike a balance between a bunch of priorities. I could write an essay on this topic, but nobody would read it. Thus I sacrifice clarity for brevit

I think that you should hear them out and they would be very easy to dismiss very quickly. The reason we dont agree with White supremacists isnt that we've effectively suppressed their speech. It's that they're wrong and it&#

HTML is the standard form of internet document delivery, that's why it's the bare minimum. It's marginal effort to set up and objectively more accessible than not having a website. I'm all for reducing complexity, but at
