Macs are the perfect dumb terminal. They look great, have a smooth ui, and require little fiddling. However, I always need to ssh onto a “real machine” to get actual work done.
I eat Children because they are delicious, not because I think they are dumb. I know they are very smart, but this fact doesn’t makes them less delicious to me. Also, the fact that I —and millions of other people— don’t…
I don’t think that increasing police presence and surveillance is the answer to stopping petty crime, it just punishes people who need help and or creates a corrupt police dept, exasperating the problem further. If we…
I am American and I generally am referring to Americans when I talk about boomers

My point isn’t that blocking won’t work, it’s that any software solution provided probably won’t work for most people because it’s too easy to quit with no accountability and then because it won’t work for most people,…
I am skeptical that this can scale well. Not every small town can have an expensive college or university. And besides, the towns that do get/have these institutions become gentrified and all of the the original…
The idea that you can “fix” or “solve” software addiction with more software is silly to me. First, This requires users to setup this software. Then, there is nothing stopping them from working around or disabling it at…
