It's tough to call DEI "dissent" when it is broadly mandated by HR departments, university administrations, and in many cases state law.
Has Florida been banning books from universities?! "Schools" usually means K-12 schools.
SeaMonkey has a classic UI and is basically a modern Netscape Communicator. You can ignore the rest and just use the Mail part. It's a solid email program that has worked well for about a decade now.…
Counterpoints: social bonding in sharing a physical space, lots of nonverbal communication in face-to-face meetings. Don't get me wrong, I love remote work. And Zoom meetings have made it way easier to pull together…

Good point! Ordering pet food over the internet in 1995: crazy moonshot weirdo stuff. Ordering pet food over the internet in 2021: just another day.
The damage is done to Parler, but also to Apple. Apple has established, clearly and publicly, that you will not say anything they disapprove of with their devices. (This affects Discord also:…
