You know, this really sucks for me personally. Not the ban, but the sorts of things Eric appears to stand for. I read The Cathedral and the Bazaar when I was 13, and it was probably my gateway into advocating for open…

Repeating a point without adding proof doesn't make your point more valid. When people say "code wins arguments", they're referring to using source code to prove something, not "it wins because it has more source code"…
Yes - I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that most people who appreciate fine arts feel this way. Tech is more of a, “why is a painting of a triangle worth so much!?” crowd (see: other comments).

Apple Music, and particularly iTunes Match, are the opposite of "just works". I wanted to switch back from Spotify, but I found that Match had made a complete mess of my library. Half of my album art gone. Albums were…

Ah, so you’d also agree homosexuality is a mental illness that “political groups” lobbied to change? Because, from the perspective of someone who isn’t a conspiracy theorist or bigot, it looks like the DSM updated their…
Ah, the what.cd strategy. Minus the exclusive content.
It's funny to think that, of all the products Google kills on the regular, the one thing most everyone wants them to be done with (AMP) is probably gonna stick around forever.
Does the content on wikihow not deliver on what it promises to do? And if so, have you considered editing it - given that it’s a wiki? Of the things destroying the internet (Google AMP, and Pinterest, in that order), I…
