The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

The entire POINT of fighting Nazis is to prevent them from attacking marginalized people. So forgive me if I'm not particularly convinced by folks who argue that we need to sacrifice marginalized people in order to fight Nazis.

I really hate the line that Epstein is the “thinking man’s QAnon”. It’s smug, inaccurate, glib and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of how the two entities interact with each other and with reality. The Epstein case involves is a real criminal conspiracy with dozens of actual victims!

A lot of people don’t have the mental fortitude to talk about politics, but don’t want to seem as uniformed or incurious as they are, so they just say they’re moderates. Then they never have to agree or disagree with someone else’s position, which they can’t do confidently or competently anyway.
the benefit of a moderate position remains unclear to me. why is it good just because it's moderate—especially when one side is nazis
It really is. Instead of having a commons where a moderate position is reached through interaction and consensus, we now have blobs separating to the far poles, and more extreme ideology proliferates on both sides. It's 'elective' polarization because the platform doesn't stop hate speech.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
