Apple chose to not allow sideloading or other app stores, again, as a feature.
Ok, so maybe some cars decide not to offer seatbelts as a feature. Oh wait, they can’t, because that’s dumb.
Not having a feature that helps consumers is not a feature. When Apple prevents people from repairing their phones, that’s not a feature. When they prevent consumers from loading their own apps on their own device that they bought, that’s not a feature! It’s comically anti-competitive and bad for everyone.
You mean funny ones?
Just to be clear, there is no philosophical or morally consistent principle that anyone has been able to articulate in the history of political philosophy to defend the bizarre policy of excluding people who want to immigrate unless their presence is a danger or detriment to the public good.
The supreme banana court will rule as they like, of course, and I’m not saying they’re wrong from a legal perspective; that’s just beside the point.
When MBFC factualness ratings of ‘mostly factual’ or higher were compared to an independent fact checking dataset’s ‘verified’ and ‘suspicious’ news sources, the two datasets showed “almost perfect.”
I was trying to find the criticism you cited, but it must be buried somewhere under a mountain of praise. Could you explain what the nature of their complaint is? I’m out of the loop.
Dell has always been a horrible company. Their main mechanism of enrichment in the early 2000’s was selling cheap, unusable laptops stuffed with spyware to poor people. In fact, Dell, Lenovo, and HP were so notorious that BestBuy literally created the GeekSquad to capitalize on the fact that Dell’s laptops were infected with spyware and needed to be “cleaned” before they could be useful.
I find it inexplicable that people can regard Dell’s products with anything besides skepticism and disgust. The CEO of Dell is also famously a barely sentient ignoramus.
The guy you’re replying to doesn’t realize this post is written for people like him, while OP doesn’t realize that dumb people who think we only have 5 senses don’t believe in science anyway.
We also don’t technically require that you have a steady supply of oxygen in your apartment, but I’m guessing you’d find it unreasonable if you woke up in a vacuum.
Do we even have a law that says landlords can’t heat your apartment to 100 degrees Fahrenheit? Or a law that specifically proscribes noise machines? Do we really have to specify every fucking thing or can people just be reasonable?
Death penalty is too good for them, IMO.
This is $3000 per American. We could easily cut it in half and allocate the savings to something useful, like healthcare.
We should let China enslave us all instead of fighting dirty.
Since when is it bad to meddle with your enemies? Authoritarian regimes around the world are my mortal enemies. Why the fuck wouldn’t we undermine them at every opportunity?
Need I remind you that only 8% of countries are considered functional democracies (and that number is dropping). I’m open to any idea to stop the spread of authoritarianism.
I will never buy anything at Starbucks again. Used to spend like $100/month.
Hope it was worth it.
Yes, we should act like sophisticated apes and pummel each other with laws, hostile takeovers, and backhanded compliments.
Seriously though, the violence isn’t the problem: it’s the irrationality. Our legal system is based on violence, because there’s no other way. We don’t bat an eye when it makes sense (police arresting a corrupt bureaucrat). The issue is when it doesn’t. I’m actually not even sure this is one of those times!
Anyway, I find it so exhausting in politics when people try to kill each other with laws and bureaucracy. For instance, if the SCOTUS wants religious authoritarianism, wouldn’t it help to just be honest about it so we can fight to the death and excise the insanity? Just a thought.
Lamar and Drake are barely sentient narcissists. Don’t worry, no danger of offending them since they can’t read.
Maybe we should.
So are you a religious authoritarian or a garden variety fascist that you feel entitled to dictate to me what I can and cannot do with my body?
I just suggested putting a medicine in the water supply. Why would I be against putting a mineral in the water supply?
I mean, it was. Covid was literally killing all the old people until our gerontocratic government stuffed them full of vaccines. Trump supporters were dying at 2 or 3 times the rate of the general population.
