Using a dominant market segment to reduce competition in another has always been an antitrust violation. A notable example is MS leveraging their Windows monopoly to force Internet Explorer on people.

Probably because that's an blindingly obvious Chinese knockoff of Boston Dynamics' Spot. BD doesn't want to sell weapons but the USMC still wanted to try out their ideas so they found a company with fewer ethics.

You were applying "a well armed society is a polite society" to geopolitics. I disagree. Weapons are what you fall back on after all the other options have failed. A "ballot box, jury box, ammo box" sort of deal.

Education and tolerance are the tools of peace. If your leaders are extremists who can't compromise, pointing fingers for who you should hate more, jump to labels and teams, and issue ultimatums rather than dialogue, then you are on a road to war.

We were already participating in WW2 before Pearl Harbor. Lend-Lease was packing the UK chock full o' guns, food, and oil. The "Arsenal of Democracy" speech was 1940.

And game streaming is such a profitable market segment too. I mean look at how well Stadia is doing.

A few years ago, I used crypto-as-in-cryptography in conversation with another engineer and they seemingly derailed into talking about Bitcoin and Ethereum. We were both really confused and annoyed with each other.

It had a nostalgic feeling of what does "hacker" mean with some added irritation.

Those aren't the stereotypes that comes to mind for the worst Florida has to offer. More like old retired Boomers and upper middle class culture warriors who thought DeSantis' Covid denial was a great idea. But I didn't take a census or anything.

Lemmy's new moderation tools are not what I was expecting at all.

I didn't pay much attention when this was happening. Are there size requirements or something? How does lemmy.ca or sh.itjust.works avoid paying?

I wish I could find a sub 5 inch screen that hits the other requirements (excellent camera, fully root-able). I'm afraid Pixels have run away with my wallet.

For me, the screen size is what enabled that comfortable fit.

I think a "better... for me" is sufficient. Input devices are so personal, almost every statement about them should end in "for me".

Track points are so much better... for me.

Macbook touchpads are obviously superior... for me.

Mechanical keyboards have such a better tactile feel... for me.

Ad nausem for trackballs, Bluetooth devices, wired devices, in-ear/over-ear/open/closed headphones.

Like putting "null" as your license plate except Humana are reading this, not computers. Clever but not effective.
