Is that any different to taking a day off work to go to a protest? Both situations have you losing money in order to bring issues to light. Same with union workers going on strike.

My history class must have skipped over the part where the american revolution was organized on twitter and facebook.

At least where I live in Maryland, being on "welfare" includes a cheap smart phone because a lot of jobs assume you have one for things like driving directions, getting signatures, taking pictures of receipts, etc.

Are you using different DNS servers? My work laptop was using 8.8.8.8 and is getting name resolution errors, but my personal computer is using 1.1.1.1 and working fine.

Yep, on verizon fios just outside baltimore. Can't ping 8.8.8.8, but can ping 1.1.1.1 fine. Also having issues connecting to services running in AWS.

I think he's the outlier. Most people I know own 2 belts; one for casual clothes, one for dress pants. Shoes is normally casual shoes, work boots/dress shoes, hiking boots/running shoes, plus flip-flops or slippers. I think I

One way to make your clothes last longer is by checking to see how often you're supposed to wash them, and air drying them if possible. Things like jeans really only need to be washed a couple of times a year unless you're spillin

They could just remove it if they can't tell, same way a bouncer will throw you out of a bar if you don't have ID. I don't know why people are giving social media companies a pass on what goes on just because their job is har

Depends on if it was actually toxic, or just full of people who want it to be toxic so they have something to fight against. I recently read a book by Alan Watts, and he said that one thing that liberal and conservative morality police have

The politicians talking about firearm violence don't actually care about fixing it, they just say things that their base wants to hear. For example, the democrat congressman from my district in MD sent out an email talking about trying

It means that Brave is implementing protocols that help circumvent censorship, while the CEO of Mozilla is saying that current censorship doesn't go far enough.

People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them 59.99 for a game is a bargain compared to the amount of value you get with modern titles. I remember buying Nintendo and Sega games for the same price. Magazines only covered the bigges

Yep, they were pretty short, and a lot of them had no save feature so had to be finished in one sitting (unless your parents let you leave it running and just unhook the coax cable so they could watch TV). I remember going to a local game s

"Oh well, at least you tried" sounds like the definition of FB getting a free pass.

A better solution is probably simplifying and reducing the number of laws, not making the government prove that you knew what you did was against the law.

It is, but that's not the point. Blizzard isn't trying to redefine free speech, Apple is.

by dx87 6y ago
Nothing you said is relevant to what they're talking about. This is about Apple trying to redefine commonly used words to avoid any discussions about limiting free speech. It's like when Verizon claimed that "Unlimited"

I'd much rather the protagonist be silent in an FPS. It ruins the immersion for me, unless there are dialogue choices so I still have some agency. I quit playing Dishonored 2 after a couple of hours because the protagonist keeps talkin

As an anecdote, my wife used to work in the front office of a low income apartment complex, and she said it was common for tenants to purposefully stay on welfare/unemployment, while getting paid under the table for stuff like landscap

"If nobody knows how to do it safely, then it's fine to cause harm" is a strange way to look at the world. Maybe Facebook should be treated like other companies that sell products that are proven to be dangerous, and they can

Unless there's a guarantee that breaking the user agreement results in a fine that exceeds the money they got by breaking the agreement, the user agreement is mostly worthless.

My wife switched over to a Garmin fitness tracker. She'd been having technical issues with her old Fitbit anyway, but the Google acquisition made it so she didn't even consider a new Fitbit as a replacement.

No. I'm on th East coast in a solidly liberal area, and the only time I've ever seen pronouns listed outside of twitter was the staff name tags at a college graduation.

What dictionary are you using that says censoring can only be done by a government? It seems like a tech employee talking point so they can pretend they aren't censoring people.

I only ran into one bug that prevented quest completion. Near the beginning of the game, there is a quest where you and Jackie have to pick up some equipment then fight your way out of the building. On my first attempt, Jackie got stuck in

It just causes extra annoyance at work. There have been a few times when some named vulnerability gets covered by a generic tech website, and the next day at work my inbox has 2-3 meeting invites from non-technical project managers to discu
