The Paradox is invariably trotted out to justify political censorship far before Popper's own conditions, and frankly most often by some of the most close-minded people I've ever seen. Are they more accepting of some things than the people they want censored? Sure. But in most ways the Paradox people are hidebound bigots who demand everyone toe their lines and never demonstrate tolerance in its original meaning: Suffering the existence of that which you'd rather didn't exist.
I've liked Sony, myself, at least before they shit the bed with firmware. They stayed on better, and had better noise canceling. The transparency was a bit metallic. AirPods in comparison rely a ton on a tight fit for noise canceling, but the transparency is magic. Sadly, I'm more of a noise canceling user.
Also just having your stuff available on multiple devices, having it be easy to move devices, etc.
All that said, I don't like the deep desktop-OneDrive type integration, very much a clear, separate sync folders type person, even if I store a bunch of my stuff inside said folder. But Sync Service Kingdoms are to be very clear, it's the one way they will be ~99% benefit, 1% headache.
Logseq isn't abandonware - they're in the process of rebuilding the app from the ground up to be database-driven, rather than house-brand Markdown as the source of truth and a database constructed from the files afterwards.
I'm not saying it's the most likely project to survive, but they've been working in quiet mode for a good while now.
Antiracists are as against racism as North Korea is democratic, and the people's, and as much as the Berlin Wall was an anti-fascist protection rampart and totally not a way to stop people from defecting en masse.
Ostensible names are just that, ostensible. They do not always describe reality and are often chosen to mislead. With woke antiracists, that is exactly the case.
I've seen "antiracist" lecturers say kindly silly little things like "white people are born to not being human", an "antiracist" teacher saying white people are born human, but invariably abused by their parents "into whiteness". The torrent of absolutely blatant anti-white racism from these sorts of people is comical in its proportion, and neverending. Their every campaign is "we'll include sparkles everyone sparkles (NOT YOU), so join us at..."
Somehow, it's hard to take the epithet seriously. I wonder why.
That's the thing: They choose leftist allegiances over their ostensible job. For example, search for "twitter files" on the EFF's Twitter account. Nothing. Blatant government effort to censor people. Zip, zilch, nada.
Now they abandon X that's become more free, and head for Bluesky and Mastodon, which are basically recreations of the stifling atmosphere of pre-Musk Twitter.
Freedom for their favoured people to do what they like, perhaps. But for me and others? Nah, not on the program.
Canva's operated on a freemium model for years with their own main product, and they have a lot of stuff on the Canva side they can implement into Affinity as a value add. Very little reason to expect that they'd renege on their commitments. The only real risk for that is the upcoming IPO and becoming publicly traded, IMO. The current ownership seems committed enough.
Sure, but the brits have voted for less immigration please for 30 years straight and only ever gotten more of it.
The SAVE Act the orange dude's admin is trying to pass? Requiring ID to vote is popular among every race (eg. over 70% of blacks are in favour), among both Democrat and Republican voters. Its overall support among people is undeniable, and the ID demand itself commonsense. Somehow Congress can't pass a piece of common sense that's wildly popular among both parties' voters.
Sure, democracy can and does give the ordinary man more influence than in many places, but some things will still simply just happen and people's opinions will have very little sway.
What'd be the effect of Swift be on the possibility of a Windows port? I know anything end user friendly is ages away, but I don't live in Apple land, and neither does most of the world. Apple has a monopoly on iOS and huge market share on Mac, and is still at 20% or something.
Easy, Harvard is essentially a training center for their ideological enemies on top of providing an actual education. They're just putting the boot down and saying stick to teaching instead of implementing and advancing a specific ideology. If taxes are the tools, so be it.
Huh, I was under the impression that you were forking Chromium itself instead of building over Electron. Or are you talking about a past, post-Gecko decision that had to be dropped as well?
Yeah, the consumer side Teams app is already different in UX than the corporate one. Wouldn't have been terribly difficult to brand that as Skype and market it as such.
