Same goes for twitter. Gosh I hope nobody uses 6 hours of twitter a day.

It's a classic. Attack yourself and blame the other guy. This is how wars often start. The problem is that these cases are purely speculative, when executed right.

do we have any nuclear plants that we closed because we are too good for nuclear power? If so, I would suggest opening those again.

At least considering open source, I love the fact that not much money is involved because I feel that whenever money is involved, people start to serve money instead of users, meaning they might make decisions to maximize the money instead of the usability etc.

I remember people saying that windows 11 requires internet connection and microsoft account. Not sure if it's true.

I don't believe it is technically true, perhaps with Win 11 home? But the process is full of dark patterns and opaque enough that you could argue it is effectively true.

There are workarounds but when installing you really need to choose 4 times that you are good with a local account. Every time the question is phrased differently.

>That depends on whether you believe they are lying about those settings actually doing what they say they do.

My gut feeling is that they don't straight up lie, but that they for sure are leaving things out. Also putting good faith on microsoft is just something I'm not able to do no matter how much I try.

The irony is that apparently Musk fired twitter's accessibility team

This shouldn't be downvoted, it's true (see [0]) and does undermine any claim that ethan's banning was out of a concern for the visually impaired.

Or bots for that matter (which might be more relevant here)

and someone might have a bad sense of humor too!

I'm one of those weirdos. This is kind of how it actually works. I don't know anyone who has truly stopped all the social media (like hn). But things like facebook, instagram and tiktok; I don't feel getting anything good out of it so I don't use those at all.
