'Don't be autistic'? That advice is about as useful as telling a severely depressed person to 'just cheer up'

How about using the term 'career death penalty' instead of 'cancelled'. Might make people think for more than a nanosecond before calling for blood.

If we're as fucked by climate change as some seem to think, then any technological solution is probably worth a try.

We need some sort of technological solution, as you're not going to convince the world to outright ban cars/planes and meat-eating and more. And breaking the taboo around discussion of world population is almost as unlikely.

Yay, Instead of an architectural dead-end where you can at least run your own code or your own OS, you cannow have a locked-down, locked-in, App-Store-centric dead end!

This was relatively OK for phones, as you're not really going to create anything of significance on a little touchscreen. But we still need general purpose computers that we as individual owners have full control over.

Looks more like a punishment for sex offenders

Range and payload capacity of small drones seems far too limited for this to be much use, beyond a few exceptional cases (e.g. delivering small packages such as medicines to inaccessible-by-road locations)

That's was only a concern when people were allowed to go outside...

Far more chance of the drones being stolen than the drones being used to steal...

In the UK/EU from 2021, I believe you've got to register your drone (or at least register as a drone operator) even if flying only sub-250g drones (if they have a camera)... That includes ~30g 'Tiny Whoop' style drones. The fear/paranoia over small unarmed drones is ridiculous. If you fear flying cameras, you should be much more worried about the hundreds of cameras recording you whenever you're out in public, not to mention the amount of systems tracking you online...

I wish the US could stop using 'Liberals' to refer to the authoritarian left

Maybe we do need to fill the void that was in the past filled by religion, and find a new way to teach kids to be decent compassionate human beings.

But there must be a way to do it without injecting the latest trends in social justice activism into mostly-unrelated subjects. Yes, teach them about the history of slavery and genocide. But that's mostly something for a history class, not a coding class.

At this point, It's getting hard to find the freedom. Even worse, people have started to see freedom as some far-right ideal, so something that has to be fought against.

When they're stopping your ebike doing a mere 12.5mph, then yeah, fuck the government

Make that string into a wire, and you could even have batteryless earphones!

It might be horribly unhealthy bread. But if you've eaten it, it's pretty clear that it's bread.
