When it comes to getting a neutral response, the advice risks falling into the middle ground fallacy, where people might mistakenly believe that the truth always lies between two opposing arguments. Most people, myself included, don’t have the expertise to fully grasp complex issues, and there's no shame in that—we can’t expect everyone to be well-versed in every subject. This can make it tough to determine which side is more credible, leading to confusion or a false sense that both sides are equally valid, even when they’re not.

It's called the Second-Mover Advantage.

UniGetUI (formerly WingetUI) is a really great tool since it supports multiple package managers.

A nonprofit overseeing a for-profit arm, where have I seen this before?

FYI, WooCommerce added the ability to store orders in a separate database table.

It's understandable to feel disillusioned by the current state of online discourse. Expecting social media platforms alone to broaden horizons is akin to relying solely on a library's size to educate the illiterate. Perhaps it's time for a more holistic approach to digital literacy and critical thinking, rather than outsourcing the responsibility to tech giants like Bluesky.

I had a similar question before reading Moby Dick. I noticed it was being sold online, although inexpensive, which made me wonder. It turned out the English text is in the public domain, and anyone can profit from it. So, why did the publisher charge for it? I wanted to read it in my native language, Polish, and the translation was not in the public domain. Additionally, I wanted to easily upload it to my Kindle, so I also paid for convenience. I know this not fully answers your question, but wanted to share my experience.

Was curious myself so asked chatgpt and this what I got:

Nested aggregates in databases are useful when you want to perform calculations or summaries on groups of data within larger groups. For example, imagine you have a database of sales transactions with products and categories. You could use nested aggregates to find the total sales for each category and then calculate the average sales per category. It saves effort by allowing you to perform calculations at different levels of granularity in a single query.

A quick Google search shows that there are 2.3 billion people between ages 20-39 years. Even if we make a generous assumption that Shein has 100 million users within that group, that's still around 4% of the total population. So, your thought is not really as "insightful" as you wished it to be.

To be exact, they weren't trials; only hearings.

I'm fortunate enough to own a gaming PC, but I wish cloud gaming was around when I was younger. All my buddies owned consoles or PCs, and I felt like a sore thumb when they were discussing the latest titles. There are a lot of people who just can't afford even the cheapest Xbox One but have enough money for a month's worth of Game Pass and can play Starfield. My younger self would definitely have been okay with latency and fuzzy graphics. This isn't hypothetical; I still remember the days when OnLive was around and could play that Disney racing game Split/Second for free for half an hour, I was AMAZED back then.

Sometimes I feel like people dismissing cloud gaming do not consider how the advent of cloud gaming has opened doors for those who previously couldn't afford traditional gaming setups. It's not about the technical specifications; it's about making gaming accessible to more people, regardless of their financial constraints.

Dude, it was only a question. You could've just said no instead of going on some weird rant. There are plenty of reasons for containerization, but it seems like engaging in any sort of conversation with you is pointless.

Defeatism and cynicism are simply excuses for complacency. If you think companies like Microsoft are exploiting your data, don't just whine about it; take action. Your passivity won't stop them; stricter regulations and public pressure will. Just the other day, Microsoft decided to decouple Teams from the Office Suite in an attempt to preempt a potential antitrust penalty from the European Union. It's just one example of how a regulatory body can influence how companies conduct their business.

The EU already has regulations in place regarding open banking with its Payment Services Directive. I'd imagine a similar framework could be applied to big social tech.

And it's great for a team of thousands. Speaking from experience.
