Fuck them, and full all those that support this Orwellian oppression.
You mean like Trump and Sessions wanting the logs from an anti-Trump website? Or a bunch of African-American protestors who'd like the odds of "death by cop" to come down a few points?
and we'll have a tougher time anticipating the next Charlotsville
Fuck me this is dumb. Unless you happen to be an FBI agent assigned to a domestic CTU, it's not your fucking job to anticipate the next attack. The Daily Stormer being banished to the dark web is their problem, not anyone else's.
If they get rid of the search bar there's not much left that'll keep me on Firefox.
Am I missing something here? I got rid of the search bar years ago, and use the address bar for all my searches, with a side of keyword searching to speed things up.
Coding, however, is a meritocracy. It has quantified metrics and performance tracking by definition.
This would be a great argument if there hadn't been so much shitty product released in the last couple of decades, a lot of it from major vendors. Guess diversity hires won't be that big of a deal to the bottom line or the quality of software released after all.
And other sites with goofy rules about password expiration/rotation, or stupid lenth requirements (forcing me to use shorter passwords than i want, or omit punctionation etc...)
This is where the 'tiers' come in. Lax password requirements/burner email addresses? Low tier. Most stuff? Medium Tier. Online banking/Sites with crazy requirements? Multiple 20 digit alphanumerics.
Yeah, I do something very similar except my prefix is a calculation, not an addition, and I don't bother with a text file, I keep it all in my head. I also segregate passwords into tiers, depending on the service. Throwaway web accounts do not need the complexity my online banking does.
I do have an encrypted excel file for my wife to use should something happen to me though...
next generation really need to be raised with the mindset that you have no digital privacy, and that the mobile phone should be assumed an actively hostile signals interception/surveillance device.
This is a common misconception I see made by Bommers and Gen-Xers. See, the millenials and those that follow know all this already. They just don't care. And I'm not entirely sure I can blame them.
Yawn. Used to be videogames. Before that it was TV. Before that it was miscegenation. There's always some old crank with too much time on his hands willing to grab onto whatever is shiny and proclaim it as evil.
Nah, GP, like yourself, seems to think that only the "advantages" of paper money will be "folded" into bitcoin, whereas the rest of us are just sitting here laughing a tech bros once again reinventing the wheel.
Because a bunch of doctors can get bullied into being politically correct
That's one finely honed conspiracy theory you got there.
does not suddenly make "Gender Dysphoria" not an mental illness.
Literally no one in this thread is making that claim.
The facts are these folks have a much higher suicide rate than the general population
So do dentists. Do you have the courage of your convictions to call for banning dentists as well?
So you are right the argument might not work as well as you think but that is only because folks on the other side of it are being intellectually dishonest.
No, I didn't miss it. Nor have I said that it's all settled. What I did say is that the mental health field is moving away from simply treating this as a mental illness and understands that there's a lot more going on than "some people be crazy", so that using "it's a mental illness!" as a reflexive defensive posture is becoming, and will probably continue to be, less of a useful argument to people who are anti-trans.

For starters, both sexes have both the X and Y chromosones.
No better hilarity than the unintentional kind.
This post assumes a level of competence and accountability than has literally never existed in Russian history.
Once you create a small entity with this much power, of course it's going to become a target for corruption.
This argument doesn't track at all, else Congress' composition would look a lot different.
There's nothing I can do to hold the FCC accountable.
Sure there is. The President appoints, and the Senate confirms. Call those idiots up, and don't forget to vote.

You seriously made my day. Thanks and kudos.
Doesn't mean it won't work fine for them.

Good ol' Betteridge.

Wait, people still use bookmarks? I just keep ~100 tabs open at any given time.
Firefox is the Ubuntu of web browsers.
So, perfectly fine for 99% of the population but sends tech nerds into a frothing rage? Sounds about right.
No, I know where I am. Doesn't mean I got to like it.
Get over yourself. I wasn't just talking about you. Take that pedantic shit somewhere where they give a crap.

WHOOOOOOSSSSHHH!
LOL you must be new here. This place is filled with libertarians and conservatives who hate taxes.
Gutting and cleaning your catch on top of your TPS reports is a dead giveaway though.
Break out your Buzzword Bingo cards and it's a lot more fun that way.

Nothing in your post supports that argument.
