He didn't. Sharing a conspiracy theory should not be illegal just because it makes people upset. Horrifyingly anti-American precedent

The vast majority of people don't like being censored

Surely there must be some reasonable explanation for why you are still right and correct even though your ideas constantly lose to others without censorship. It can't be that you're just wrong.

Progress is relative.

Defamation shouldn't exist (see Alex Jones, that's an insane situation to be told to pay $1.5 BILLION for sharing an opinion) but the standards are generally higher than "someone told lies about my character" at least.

Yes. Everyone has agency, if I tell you to commit a crime it's up to you whether to do so.

Absolutely same. I wonder how much of it is most people being like this and many of those saying "well yes of course I see the apple" without really thinking about it. If someone actually sees the apple, v.s. imagining what it would be like if they were seeing it, they're hallucinating. Not that it wouldn't be cool to be able to do that on command, I just wonder how many people really can.

>No True Scotsman.

Nope. If you support laws that censor criticism of israel you are not a free speech supporter, let alone an absolutist. The term has a very clear definition and it's the opposite of what the antisemitism law entails.

>... I am not American, neither do I have anyone in power who supports the speech I agree with.

Did I say you were American? All of Europe and many parts of Asia are way worse when it comes to free speech.

>Do you support Free Speech of the person screaming obscenities at your young child? False claims about you? Whipping up entire communities to attack you physically?

Yes. If it's just words and not a direct threat it's fine.

Direct threats are a fine exception because they promise crossing over from words into physical action, at that point the NAP is violated if you want to look at it that way. No need to wait and see if they're actually going to follow through.

Aside from that I really don't see any need for further exceptions.

Yes. The free market would solve the first two, the next two aren't even crimes currently, and with the last the crime is the violence/vandalism not someone telling a fib.

>If you ask an engineer if 2.5 and 2.50 are the same, they will say no They will say it depends on the context. If you don't look into the implementation, the class name and maybe a short summary provides that context and clearly misleads people

Because they disagree with it and want it hidden. That is the entire point of the flagging system, to hide opinions the flaggers disagree with from those too oblivious to turn on showdead.

When your ideas are so bad that you need to censor any discussion of opposing ideas lest they immediately win, it's time to change your ideas.

It doesn't matter, insulting people is fine. Censoring them is not.

>they'll also defend laws like the ones passed earlier in the year by the US House about codifying the IHRA's definition of anti-Semitism.

Anyone who defended that isn't even close to a free-speech absolutist.

>I don't believe anyone truly has a Free Speech Absolutist position

I do. It's what makes America great. Erosions like that jewish law are slowly weakening that.

You should be allowed to say whatever you want about White people, straight people, men, Christians, etc. and I should be able to say whatever I want about jews.

You just don't want to acknowledge such a stance is possible because the people you agree with are in power, allow the speech you agree with, and censor the speech you don't disagree with, so you stand with nothing to gain by supporting free speech. That's a personal choice to have no integrity.

It's all forward looking with MacOS and Linux. Windows is the only OS that can do everything anyone asks of it right now, which is in my book what a computer should do. If games work via Proton/Wine they will have worse performance. Many do not work at all due to requiring anticheat. Windows, as a certain group loves to say, just works.

One option you can't hack on, the other you can but don't have to at all. Why choose the former? Are you so sure you'll never want to do anything on your phone that's unapproved by your corporate overlords?

You can't sync Obsidian without paying. This syncs for free right?

Not wanting to support Apple and their anti-consumer decisions. Don't know if Apple Notes is even good and I will never know.

That's HN for you. Reddit but users are given the power to delete comments they don't like (unless you happen to check settings and notice showdead)

Yeah real smart move to make your products initials unusable and unsearchable. Apple has done it again

Those who dislike censorship and enjoy hacking avoid iPhones for obvious reasons.

It's good enough for the typical Apple consumer.

We absolutely should, if by value you mean decide whether or not they're allowed to live here. I'm American.

So it's not going to be better than other models, but it will be more censored. I guess that might be a selling point for their customer base?

Because it's not arbitrary. It's what physically defines our countries, which are made up of people and culture and history and values within those boundaries. Those borders are what better men than you fought and died for. If you don't see the point, it's because you've never wanted for anything, like most leftists.

>To what end?

To have the species survive if anything ends all life on Earth - apparently not a priority for you but it is for those that enjoy humanity existing.

Also to explore and learn more about the universe we live in. Do you truly not see value in that? Have you never left the city/state/country you were born in?

How would you build a controllable tentacle? Here they control the thumb with two toes. An octopus tentacle would be way more complicated. Maybe with a Neuralink

Yes, I love Windows and hate using MacOS for development. For grandmas macs are fine as a Netflixmachine. Just like iphones really.

A better analogy would be American Airways deciding to make economy stand instead of sit. And then a bunch of brainwashed American Airways consoomers continuing to buy and support the company because they're really good at marketing.

Yes surely any time they gimp a product it's because nobody needs the feature they removed. It's never just to save money because they know people will buy even if its inconvenient.

Every single person at my large software company uses at least 2 displays + laptop, that's the standard setup. It's just objectively better for productivity to be able to look at multiple things at once without having to cram them into a single monitor.

Terminal, Slack, IDE, and browser each deserve their own monitor ideally. Personally, 2x vertical monitors side by side is a nice to have for programming so one can be for IDE and the other for reading docs/articles.

The "not as capable" Windows laptops still aren't gimped to only run one display.
