I'm not using it for 'ideological battle'. I'm merely stating my opinions on the topic at hand. "destroys the curious conversation that it's supposed to be for" This makes no sense. How is me asking ques

"I don’t know if you were paying attention last week, but the mob literally came for the members of Congress." A couple of hundred people attacked the capitol in a crowd of 500,000+. Do you remember the phrase 'mostly peacef

The people cheering this on will not be protected when the mob comes for you. We live in a digital age. If having the wrong opinion means you can get your bank accounts and all Internet presence removed from you, it's not any differen

A random person on a blog is not an investigation. We needed a full audit after 100s of people came out with allegations. This would have put it to rest. There were other allegations that Dominion machines were attached to local networks

Since you can't actually figure out the most obvious point ever made in a comment. The Dominion company used Solarwinds, which could have directly affected our elections after multiple companies were breached from the hack. In Georgia

You can put the pieces together. Why aren't we hearing about this on the news?

I've heard this argument a lot lately. What other amendments should we allow corporations to break? You are also only saying this because your side is the one doing the censoring. If Republicans had control of all tech and media and

I will give you this same response with pretty much everything from now on and I'm also going to use these same rules if I ever get Jury duty.

I quit about 5 years ago. It took a couple of months to get 'clean'. I sleep much better and can now wake up without an alarm. I also have lots of energy the entire day.

The Dominion company (behind the voting machine software in the US) used Solarwinds. It was plastered on many of their websites. It was removed the day this hack went public. I don't believe in coincidences.

We need more people to be working on solving climate change, not less. We would have viable nuclear power by now if it weren't for all of the leftists in the 70s-90s protesting its existence and making it a liability for many companie

Amazon pays millions and millions of dollars in taxes. Most reports about Amazon not paying taxes are by people that don't know how the tax system actually works in the United States.

He was a loner tech type and had the exact kind of RV that exploded. Do we know it was actually him? Or are the police just trying to get the case solved through some obvious/easy leads.

Jack Ma is a Communist party member and you can't get to the level of Alibaba without hiring government officials to run parts of your company. This is just a show of power from the Chinese government and has nothing to do with being a

It may have been 'slavery' 100+ years ago, but it's turned into something much better. Does everything have to be doom and gloom? Can't we ever enjoy anything?

This has been going on for at least a couple of years. I ran into it with redis servers last year. They search for servers with simple/no passwords, lock up the data, and demand BTC to get it back.

They think it's Russia because they waited patiently for the hack and that it's state-run because they used infrastructure not regularly used. I work in the security industry and I have the ability to do both of these. Does this

Most countries were unprepared, except for Taiwan. The government of China lied about SARS outbreaks and Taiwan has since had scientists that study disease outbreaks in China. Covid was spotted in December, but the WHO is under the influe

I'm guessing your problem is that you work 8+ hours per day and have little to no flexibility. The only way to fix this is to change the way you make a living where your direct hours != the money you earn, like running some sort of bu

Amazon is like a plantation owner for small and medium sized businesses. When you sell anything on Amazon, you have no way to build a brand as Amazon not only takes ownership of your customer, but they also forbid you from directly adverti

His problem is that he is so blinded by his ideology, nothing else matters. He is optimizing for this ideology (freedom of code) and not making it easier for new users or even the growth of the community. I stopped using Emacs long ago for
