We've already established that they are perfectly capable of ignoring people. The only people they listen to or care about are domestic nazis. Those nasty regimes should just register accounts on KiwiFarms and then CloudFlare will bend

Now do the scenario where the police help the Neo-Nazis commit the murders, but will not protect the library. Because that's CloudFlare.

They are both caching, which is hosting. We'll leave out that DDoS protection is a PII nightmare, and that CloudFlare is essentially spyware. For now. Their reasoning is the best that they could come up with under pressure. Which is to

Kiwi Farms recently DDoSed a suicide prevention hotline. So you are factually wrong.

This is a truly wonderful example of corporate communication that should be taught on university communications courses. Because it is absolutely the worst example of not even bothering to lie to CYA I have ever read.

Every number is a number, including zero. Therefore some number of members of any given group have been discriminated against. Therefore any group is indeed discriminated against. You can't argue with objective mathematical proof. Slig

It's a Dunning-Krugerish non-solution, sold as an init system trojan that is replacing more and more of the OS with less and less understanding of how it would need to work in order to do so effectively. It's a monolith that is al

These wouldn't be FOSS, and wouldn't have the effects people hope for.

This article is status signaling, not critique.

Yes, yes, people are such snowflakes now, who would have been offended by for example being called a communist or gay in America in the 1950s? There is absolutely a dynamic of status anxiety to some of this, but to claim that this is all th

Graeber didn't defend the Apple statement, he said it was an editing error and that it was revised for later editions. Obsessing over that wasn't a good look for DeLong. It isn't for his alts, his stans, or whatever you are.

You've provided the wrong link. That's a link to a bad critique of Debt by Noah Smith. Can you edit your comment to point to the good one?

> I think the biggest actual mistake DeLong managed to detect in the 544-odd pages of Debt, despite years of obsessively flailing away, was (iirc) that I got the number of Presidential appointees on the Federal Open Market Committee boa

How exactly would they make a proprietary Linux distro?

And what happens when those signals are distorted? Remove the state and there are still many things that can go wrong with a market. Price signals become a way of laundering this fact past a certain point.

How much should workers pay their employers for being able to work, since working is a benefit? We can differ reasonably about how much, surely. A minimum wage is not set in a vacuum, and high numbers that ignore this fact do not illustrate

I see that the humanities are continuing with their unexamined sense of entitlement to colonize other disciplines. This obsession with teaching (tech) workers ethics is a bourgeois pastoral fantasy. Someone needs to read some Foucault.

This is a misunderstanding of the concept of "trusted third parties". Incredibly, yes, you have to rely on the software that you use to perform tasks to perform them. But this is not the same as placing another person in a mediati

"The co-signers unthinkingly assume they are entitled to free content." Oh sweetie, no. I feel entitled to Mozilla's management being competent and not killing the company. Appealing to developers is a precondition for that.

Good. The partnership with, acquisition of, and integration of Pocket was an embarrassment. It was also an indication of just how bad Mozilla's management are at trying to make money. We'll see a lot more business theater like thi

I'm very glad that after I bought a VPN subscription from them they only needed to have sold another 49,999 or so to pay for that.

Employee motivations have zero relevance when discussing corporate actions where those actions are contrary to those motivations. The reverse is not true.
