I mean, we don't actually know that. Micron may very well take that position if given the opportunity in exchange for profit. They do already run a cartel after all.
The American Fascist Right was clearly on the wrong side when they publicly called Mister Rogers an "evil, evil man" back in 2007 (notably, 4 years after his death).
You think Ms. Rachel is advocating for child abuse because she’s Christian?
I'm quickly starting to take the ACAB approach to religions. If they're not actively trying to weed out their own rotten apples, they're part of the problem. Locally if they're everyday people, but at a much wider scale if they have a platform.
A "radical left" that is right wing basically everywhere else in the world. Because they solely consume propaganda 24/7 and actively avoid anything else. You should see the number of fascists online in places about media like Star Trek (depicting a socialist, post-scarcity society where money doesn't exist, and most of the galaxy cooperates in a Federation) talking about how it's now Woke somehow.
btw “communists” are just any people who think the health insurance industry is fucked and way too expensive, and that all people deserve to be treated equally, and that the ultra wealthy shouldn’t have as much power as they do.
It's simpler than that. To them, "communists" and "socialists" are the same, and it's anyone that doesn't think businesses should be able to do anything they want, and any person non-conforming to their personal view of "normal" isn't even human. While most will not, some will even admit both of those publicly.
Do these idiots think all trans people are non-binary?
Yes, because the media they consume isn't about educating them, it's about ensuring they'll be a piece of shit to whatever target they're told to hate. The specifics aren't part of the direction, in fact it's about muddying the waters as much as possible. They targeted the Epstein Files so much that a chunk of MAGA even started to turn against their handlers because of it. Not nearly enough of them, but enough that they're dealing with internal fighting about it. Those Epstein waters weren't muddy enough.
Every day. That isn't even new for this administration, although they're more open about not giving a fuck that it happens, and that it's part of the plan.
He points out a very odd anomaly with OSX vs macOS numbers too that highlight the problem even more.
Is it an anomaly? His point is that "OS X" refers to macs pre-2016 and "macOS" as the newer devices. But that's not accurate, at all.
OS X at 21.14%, and macOS at 8.6% . This is where I stopped reading. We’re looking at OS X, which was replaced by macOS in 2016, at 21.14%, while macOS itself sits at 8.6%.
Even if you consider OS X and macOS separate operating systems, it does not make sense for the decades-old ‘OS X’ to have more users than macOS.
Someone in another thread elsewhere said:
The OS is the same but the browsers report it differently via UA. For example, Chrome reports it as "Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7" with the usual extra compatibility shit mentioning other browsers/engines (KHTML, Gecko) while the modern Safari dropped all of that shit and reports "com.apple.WebKit.Networking/*** Network/*** macOS/15.7.8", just tested with nginx.
I can't confirm those results, in fact, I can't confirm the "macOS" bit at all. On my Macbook Neo (obviously a current modern Mac, running macOS Tahoe 26.5.2), I get these results:
Librewolf: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:151.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/151.0"
Safari: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/26.5.2 Safari/605.1.15"
Notably The Macbook Neo is not an Intel Mac, and it is not running version 15.7 which was the previous version macOS Sequoia, but that is what it reports to websites. It should report as "macOS" according to that one dude, yet it doesn't in either Librewolf or Safari (I don't have Chrome installed, and I'm not going to just for this shit). The User Agent is actively reporting to websites that it is an older device, even in Safari which does also mention the actual current OS version at near the end.
So if they are relying solely on User Agent reporting, it's obviously not accurate at a granular level. But at a general-OS level it could be depending on exactly how they're handling it.
Either way, simply saying "macOS" and "OS X" reporting refers to old and new devices... is plain wrong. And if he's wrong on such a basic assumption right at the top of his opinion piece... why would I trust any of the rest?
What is Kagi Privacy Pass?
Privacy Pass is a powerful privacy feature that allows you to use Kagi Search with greater anonymity. When enabled, it lets you perform searches more anonymously while still verifying that you're a valid Kagi subscriber. Think of it as a digital token system - similar to getting tokens at an arcade, where once you have them, you can use the services without showing your ID each time.
How does it work?
When you enable Privacy Pass, instead of logging in with your Kagi account for each search, you use special cryptographic tokens. These tokens prove you have the right to use Kagi's services without revealing who you are. This means your searches can't be linked back to your account or to each other, providing an additional layer of privacy.
So your browser generates tokens from your logged in session. Then when searching it uses a token instead of your session id for your Kagi searches. So your search on Kagi's end looks the same as every other privacy pass token search, not individually identifiable.
Privacy Pass does not work on the limited Starter plan. That plan is limited to 300 searches per month, so they have to be able to track your specific usage.
You're claiming to have NEVER worked at a company that uses ANY of these?
Half of their products are server-side and you'd never know you were using them as an end user. Unless you've literally never worked anywhere at all, that's extremely unlikely.
It's probably not. But that requires going through the courts to have that determination made.
It's an employee versus the power of the State. In the meantime anyone that tries to fight it, will be fired, and have to survive while fighting all of it in court.
Singapore has a lot of very strict laws, and they apply them rigorously. Famously their drug possession laws have a ton of prison time, and often the death penalty for trafficking.
From the article, it is a very narrow but all encompassing law, originally passed in 1949 and the last update in 2021 predates the most recent conflict...
The decision is tied to Singapore’s policies on public speech, which prohibit publicly displaying foreign national emblems without a permit or exemption.
So, the Walmart model.
I mean, we don't actually know that. Micron may very well take that position if given the opportunity in exchange for profit. They do already run a cartel after all.
No microscope needed. Obvious even on a camera made from a potato filming in 144p.
Not at all, people calling 911 aren't other police officers.

You work for yourself, not employed by another company.
So you are being disingenuous.
I think many (most?) would argue that is basically the same as lying about it.
There seems to be something in common between all 5 of those Justices... but I can't put my finger on it.
It's very likely default User Agent strings pull from the system they run on.
