I thought there was a difference between "hurt more" and "hurt a lot" even when accounting for subjetiveness of both.

but I guess part of this "screen based society" we live in is the loss of nuance and charitable interpretation.

Not sure why you're downvoted but email came to mind too: can't group chat be compared to an email thread with the same set of recipients throughout?

The trend i see in Google is explosion in git(hub) related searches and small blip in non-github alternatives

Is it really good idea to make satellites "hidden" from sight? As a general idea it feels like an obstacle should be visible. Not hidden. Camouflaging a cell phone mast as a tree is one thing. Making a sattelite invisible sounds very much like not the same thing

> Are court decisions universally recognized?

Are laws in any country universally recognized and respected?

> If the conviction is later overturned, does the second claim open one up to more libability for a false claim?

Common sense would say before you go claim libel you first demand correction, or place onus on publisher to correct a publication with the new developed news.

I know it became normal to police speech nowadays but if a conviction - even before appeal - doesnt allow the use of a label/word, what does?

Now, being CNBC reporting this i guess the issue is less about risk of libel and more to do with the current stance that europe is out to get american companies

Anything is a slippery slope if you resign to it. It's not like governments have never been willing (or forced) to privatize or reduce their roles in markets. We are exchanging ideas on a government initiative

> Without Builders, you don't have software, and without software, you don't have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.

> Windows Lite is a stripped down version of Windows. No telemetry,

Exactly. They already have telemetry, so in theory they know what they are doing (?)

Is the regulation based on hard, systematic and replicated data? Looks based on emotion (fear, greed) too

627467 — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 17:47:17 +0000

If you can't play it you don't own it either. Support of playback of physical media is not guaranteed by the industry.

Regardless, I definitely think the all-u-can-eat, 24-7-365, instant, ephemeral media has run its course and has become... tiring?

Untold? AI going for (insert your favorite) jobs has been on headlines, conferences, substacks, etc non-stop before chatgpt was able to consistently reply twice without hallucinating

Remember how the internet works: you request the content. Web content is not a highway billboard you didnt ask for. If you found a "crappy" content consider your referral. We should all consider our sourcing. The world doesn't owe us anything

627467 — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 23:57:52 +0000

Someone is going to argue that a public path is open to all including delibery robots but:

- its not really about whether delivery robots are "anyone" who deserves the right to compete for a public good nor

- whether any private entity has the right to make unexpected "efficient" use of a public good.

The robot is closer to litter placed on a sidewalk by someone else than a delivery person working for the same company. Act accordingly.

If you're doordash/waymo/etc it's your job to teach your moving box to respect other people on public paths

I know what an exit visa is. Anyone with any contact with cuba, venezuela, china in the past decades would know. To believe that export control = path to exit visa is an insult to those who actually lived those restrictions and ignorant of past export control restrictions.

"Normal people" have never bothered to host their own: photos, music, videos, documents, comunications, etc. To the point that for many their computer is essentially a thin client into someone else's server. Why would we think this same people would care about "personal" inference?

Unpopular take: if it was never critical or mandatory to disclose who you have read before publishing your own writing then you dont need to disclose ai use.

Let the reader decide the value of what they read at face value.

I honestly feel this ai disclosure thing is just pure mindless elitism and worse - entitlement - from readers. "Crappy" writing has always existed, deal with it. Stop reading as soon as you want
