This isn't that hard for me - I'm very comfortable with Linux and I'm not hooked on my phone.
I liked having a nice machine with a nice ui on top of a real Unix. But it has been getting a harder to figure what and why MacOS communicates with the mothership, and I just don't think I trust them now.

I got my first Mac in 1991. I might be typing on my last.
Bluntly, the apparent eagerness Cook has for tongue-bathing Piggy Trump has me thinking about the ways in which I currently implicitly trust Apple with very personal data.

I'm still puzzling over "nose test. Telepathy."

A correct compound plural next to that rhyming on social media makes me wistful the days when my group chats were full of English majors.

I've never really given much thought about the mechanics of a media campaign like this. I assume she's organizing this herself?
At least I can't imagine what the expected payoff that would fund a PR retainer would be.

I don't work anywhere near games, but the engineer in me has to note that gravity is free and, in aspects that matter for a pinball game, perfectly reliable in ways very few real-world things are.
But they'll trade that to slap ads on something.

Advice like this is indistinguishable from how a malicious insider would try to gaslight people.
I'm making no accusations. I've known well-meaning people with an uncanny knack for exactly the wrong thing to say. I also didn't take their advice.

We all accept that T&S is impossible to do well, but Bluesky seems to be leaning in to "so let's be absurd, stupid and selectively rigid".

To make the narrow claim stick, you have to demonstrate far more about who knew what, when than I believe you can. (But then I haven't done the exercise either.)

If your bag is sniping at people for talking in public, tone-policing, or otherwise trying to work out your control issues in a public, well, that's what the block button is for.
