It depends on what it's in response to.
Dinner at 6 at Greasy Spoon?
👍
Entirely reasonable.
Should we do the project in COBOL?
👍
Entirely unreasonable, but not rude.
My cat just died.
👍
Rude.
Attempts to implement communism at the scale of a nation state have always involved significant concentration of power. It may be impossible to do otherwise.
Power corrupts, and concentrations of power attract the corrupt.
Persuadable voters seemed really focused on prices. It's hard not to be condescending here. Eggs are expensive because of bird flu. Rent is high because not enough housing is being built, mostly limited by local issues. Gas is high because of Putin's war. Anyone who thinks electing Trump will bring those prices down because they were lower last time he was president is fucking clueless.
I'm interested to see how much of a factor unenthusiastic Democrats were. Trump got about the same number of votes he did in 2020, but Harris got far fewer than Biden. It looks like a bunch of people who voted last time didn't vote this time. For them, the concerns the author dismisses might have been more important.
I fear if I carry anything else today, I'll lose it or cut myself with it.
SMS/MMS has really low file size limits, and iPhones may downscale a little more aggressively than required.
Just pick an internet based messaging service. I like Signal, but they all work.
Are you surprised by teenage boys making fake nudes of girls in their school? I'm surprised by how few of these cases have made the news.
I don't think there's any way to put this cat back in the bag. We should probably work on teaching boys not to be horrible.
Signal should change this, but it's typical of the traditional desktop OS security model in which applications running under the user's account are considered trustworthy. Security-oriented software like Signal should take a more hardened approach, but this is not some glaring security hole.
Forfeiture of revenue and a slap on the wrist civil penalty doesn't seem like enough for selling fake PPE during a deadly pandemic.
Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Yes, I think I'm better off than I was four years ago.
I think after XMPP, Google Talk, Wave, Hangouts, Allo, etc... people should know better than to adopt a messaging service from Google.
Yes, I know RCS is theoretically an open standard, but if Google can keep me from using it, it effectively belongs to Google.

we are deeply disturbed by the chilling impact this decision will have to crush dissent
Give me a fucking break. As a legislator, you have no shortage of ways to dissent including access to media, the ability to speak on the floor of the legislature, and the ability to vote on legislation. What you can't do, if you want to keep your job is not show up for work every time you know you're going to lose a vote so that the legislature can't do business.
Wired headphones... could be used while charging
Sure is a shame nobody ever came up with a way to do that before.
Yes. Return rate influences future product design.
