The insecurity is an issue, sure, but also just the fact you are turning over a crucial human activity to be far more strictly regulated. A "no fly lists" could be extended to "no drive lists" for instance; turning off…

I agree with everything you said, and also want to point out Twitter doesn't really have much of a "core experience" shared across its entire userbase either. Trending topics and promoted tweets on Twitter are largely…

Well, it would be application dependent of course. For instance at that price we are talking about a machine that was purchased because it needed to have 1.5TB of RAM and channels able to take advantage of it. I would…
Has there been any word on a timeline for the MacOS Steam version?

Someone correct me if I am missing some nuance here but I think the two MacBook options aren't contenders for best laptop running Linux. The drivers simply don't support basic things like the touchpad or wifi (at least…
This is also true of Mastodon. If you join an instance and change your mind you can switch instances and take all your follows/followers/posts etc. with you. In both situations it is a major interruption to the sign up…

Gettr, Parler, Truth Social, Hive, Tribel, Post, Cohost, etc. etc. etc. Apparently the decentralized stuff does matter because Mastodon is by far the largest Twitter clone and that's its defining feature.
Where did he claim this? I have never seen him make any claims except that impressions are down on seeing spam (i.e. there are still bots but fewer of their posts are being displayed).
Maybe a really unintuitive system for ranking too? Like make it unclear why some posts are ranked higher than others, and why some are somehow greyed out even though there isn't an obvious way to downvote or report…
As the blog post says non-responders do tend to have different opinions on average than responders. Typically they do try to demographically determine who those non-responders are so they can adjust and increase the…
I've played about 100 hours of Factorio and have often wondered if it's approaches can be generalized beyond the game. Does anyone beside the poster above believe they are?
