  1. One of their victories is you equating "far left/right" to "calls for political violence"
  2. If that's what your younger immature self wanted to do, I don't see why the browser should get in the way.
  3. It's the future (or perhaps the present) for those who don't install ad blockers.
  4. When I said "wrong thoughts" I was thinking politics - far left and far right, generally. But yes, also porn, copyright, etc.
  5. Platforms such as Telegram have to make it impossible to access certain channels/groups/bots when you use an iphone or they risk getting deleted from the app store. nsfw channels on discord are also inaccessible from iphones.

    Apps such as gab were banned completely for not complying.

    This is just a few examples of apps that I know of (I don't use that many) --- there probably are many more examples that I'm not aware of.

  6. It's not the porn-friendly era. It's the free speech-friendly era. It's not only pornography that is banned. The wrong thoughts are banned from the app store as well.
  7. Anonimity and conformity are important features for most boards; even though users can choose not to be anonymous by using what is called a tripcode others will call you a "tripfag" and ignore or deride your posts.
  8. As Raymond would say, you're already on the other side of the airtight hatchway. This is a non-story.
  9. I have noticed that those who complain about apple the loudest haven't ever owned or even used anything made by apple.
  10. False dichotomy.
  11. What's the point in making something transparent, if it isn't so it can be fixed?
  12. Of course there is an alternative... not donating to either of those corrupt businesses.
  13. Europeans being forced to use inferior products is not the win that you think it is.
  14. How come this submission is a link and has text at the same time?
  15. Seems an appropriate word...

    "Insubordination is the act of willfully disobeying a lawful order of one's superior."

    Your boss is your superior, so disobeying what he asks of you is insubordination.

  16. This reminds me of people who even in adulthood confuse "left" and "right" - I have always wondered how that happens.
  17. Top bloggers aren't stupid enough to put their blogs in someone else's platform.
  18. You seem to be saying that it's okay to put up a metered paywall as long as the articles are good. You are missing the point then. Substack is going to eat you alive. But I guess you got a good salary! Enjoy it while it lasts.
  19. We can't use google analytics for example.
  20. >Unhoused people tend to get their phones through the "Obamaphone" program, which means that replacing a lost or stolen phone results in a completely new phone number.

    Maybe that's part of the issue. Why recycle numbers so aggressively? Give the user a few months to recover their old number if they can prove they are the same person.
