Am I throwing away all my mice, keyboards, DAC, digital pens, and other peripherals just so I can have a connector with more bandwidth than I'll ever need? Nah.

Am I buying them or adapters all over again just so I can be compatible with a new universal standard that I don't need? Double nah.

KVM switches, or breakout hubs that these devices plug into, then a single USB c device goes to the computer is the most logical avenue for a migration. But this will take a long time. Most people don't even have that kind of luxury.

What does "stale code" even mean in this context?

Does that mean it falls behind stable? Just merge stable into your branch; problem solved.

Or is this just some coded language for "people aren't adopting my ideas fast enough". Stop bitching and get good.

Also, you know, people having invented bone healing, as opposed to entire species arriving naturally to bone healing through evolution over millions of years because it's a practical thing in the wild to have.

There's a fine line between deserving of being scammed because of who they are and consequences of actions or inaction and it's important we do not cross that line.

People have to take some responsibility to think critically about the content they consume. If people are not capable of consuming content responsibly, perhaps they should not consume content at all.

The alternative is policing content itself, and that is a very dangerous place to be for a whole host of other reasons.

I think you missed the part where the person you are replying to is talking about the ethics of the platform itself, not the ethical viewpoint of the users using the platform nor the personal views of the developers.

Weak premise considering the principles of relativity, and how our current understanding of time travel is basically rooted in SPACE-time.

But it makes sense in the grand scheme.

How? Signal doesn't have the leverage to get the bulk of users to stop using SMS. So all that move did was to force people to reinstall an SMS. Then, signal became yet another messaging app for like one contact to manage and forget about.

Matrix does what signal does, but it's distributed, unlike Signal. Plus you have protocol portability.
