  • You mean the nub, or buttons on the trackpad?

    I, personally, made use of both back when I had a thinkpad.

  • Fewer parts means cheaper to manufacture.

    Don't be fooled; they're only doing it to increase profits because our standards aren't higher.

    Imagine giving an institution like that your money.

  • At some point we need to adopt some fucking privacy laws. This is absolutely bonkers—is no one else fed up??

    Look at you, trying to use the government to solve every day problems that face pretty much all of us.

    Don't you know we only focus on gridlock issues to distract us from real issues now?

  • Stop Treating Phone Numbers As A Digital ID

    Jump

  • Yes. Don't forget your phone number will be exposed to the public when the business gets hacked.

    Not if. When.

  • which is baffling only until you realize

    I stopped being baffled when I realized most people are dumb as shit.

    It's just a fact of life, and we either see it or we don't.

  • French canadians are pretentious about the significance of the french language. They don’t want to admit it’s a niche language and they want to waste people’s time learning it in schools because they had to waste their time learning it. They don’t want to admit it was and still is a waste of time and energy for those who are not predominantly interested in specifically French/French canadian culture.

    I guess I can just keep repeating this. No, it's not the same as learning English.

  • No, even adding it takes away from the explanation for the reasons I mentioned.

  • It's not about me, try not to project your own selfishness onto everyone else.

    There are students in Canada wasting their time learning french because "French canadians are pretentious about the significance of the french language.

  • Looks like if I want to learn French, I'll be able to speak it in:

    -France

    -A few place in Canada that also speak English

    -France's colonies in Africa

    -A tiny country in South America most people can't name by looking at this picture

    I rest my case. French canadians are pretentious about the significance of the french language. They don't want to admit it's a niche language and they want to waste people's time learning it in schools because they had to waste their time learning it. They don't want to admit it was and still is a waste of time and energy for those who are not predominantly interested in specifically French/French canadian culture.

  • Why are all gamblers pieces of shit?

    Jump

  • “but not THIS kind of gambler.”

    Pretty disingenuous when "this" is referring to someone who gambles once in a blue moon. i.e. someone who isn't really a gambler.

    Otherwise, I mostly agree with you.

  • ActivityPub based platforms chug slowly and/or just don’t load feeds at all.

    I don't have this issue. Maybe it's your internet connection or you're just lying.

    As for why they’re waiting, they’re waiting on public release because they’re in active development. They are working with a number of independent devs. This is all explained in the ATP documentation.

    Yeah, this sounds like bullshit to placate people like you / what you're told to tell others. This is not a legitimate reason to wait for a public release. Hopefully anyone reading this can judge for themselves.

    As for why you should trust them, the question is trust them with what?

    Trust them with "opening up the other services to federation as they reach maturity." Why are you ignoring this part and supplementing your own? I assume it's because you don't have a legitimate answer and you're trying to derail and distract.

    Of course, you try to send me off and say "just read this, bro. It's all explained here." No. I'm here to scrutinize your support for this centralized, private platform.

    Right now, your reasons for supporting it are incorrect at best and malicious at worst.

    Everyone reading this: be careful of viral marketing. It's cheaper and more effective for these businesses to advertise their product by having people argue for it like this guy right here than it is to buy an ad on TV or something.
