If you use Alternate Player for Twitch DDG privacy extension was preventing it from connecting with twitch servers and lose quite a bit functionality as you would always stay logged out. Not sure why it was doing that, but just a PSA regard

Twitter is not new though. It had sway in 2016 and 2012 elections with prominent personalities doing public relation on the platform. Saying its new to political space is pretty disingenuous > You're getting flagged for naked partis

Have you ever seen White House getting fact-checked with democrats in power before the acquisition? If there is any bias going on its from people that have a bone to pick with Elon and his choices The fact that my comment got flagged for so

I think the issue with these massive scale apps is that people want better and fresher features which are not always well defined and get lost in the maze of product development of a huge company. They have to make decisions, do we go with

Not a fan since proposal would do an implicit join on foreign keys rather than explicit join on the columns. If you know the schemas its great, but would add an extra step to check FKs on the tables otherwise In general explicit > implic

Hopefully they completely ignored this and other issues in GTA5 online because they have been working on GTA6 all these years /end sarcasm But honestly, on a large enough team with a large enough backlog much worse things slip through

You would be surprised how much bacteria can grow on fabric after an 8 hour workday assuming you have a customer facing job and need to wear a mask all day

Humidity also encourages bacterial growth and I doubt inhaling that constantly is healthy

Interesting how the whole thing devolves into 4chan-esque cesspool the moment anonymity is introduced. Humans are interesting creatures.

A sack in this case would be different because in the end it was still controlled by Christiandom, as opposed to the Fall when it switched to being controlled by the Ottomans. I think these small details do matter in this case, but maybe it

My point is that unvetted IP/code shouldn't be used in democratically critical processes such as elections in the fist place, doing so increases the surface area of bad actors to act maliciously.

Instead of filing massive law suits, why doesn't Dominion attempt to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that the machines were _not_ biased with technical evidence. I feel that open sourcing their code would definitely do the trick. I

>4chan trolling nearly resulted in a coup A few things: 1. It wasn't a coup, it was a protest to protest the unfair election and overall left wing bias. Same way BLM was to protest the unfairness of how black people are treated. 2.

I think you underestimate the effect of politics in big tech. Lobbying happens for a reason and big tech does a very big portion of it.

Slippery Slope means just that, persistent and constant escalation of censorship which is exactly what is happening right now. Amazon jumped on the bandwagon behind Google Play and Apple store and Twitch and Facebook for internet SJW points
