this has probably never clicked with me since while Microsoft Windows has it, it is stupidly slow and just dismiss it. I always just hover over the sidebar and wait for it to display in a tiny window, its faster.

Though a person I knew who used mac says it is instantaneous.

this to me is the deciding factor whether someone prefers tiling WM or not IMO.

• Tiling WM fans find floating crazy since their heavy terminal user.
• floating WM find tiling crazy, their using jetbrains and tmux for terminal.

lot of flaws in this article (overall pretty good)

• does ars technica not have a editor? Feel like most of the problems would have been fixed easily if their was (probably is)
• one of the screenshots is cleary broken website (2008 photo)
• I feel like the title was not relevant, I don't really see how it is the "linux of social media" after reading it.
• not contextualized the HP fanfic debacle, overall very confusing on what it exactly is (was really it only opposed by religious folks? as implied)

Not true was coined by the conservative Paul Gottfried and popularized by associates of Spencer who would be paleo-libertarian tradcon types not white supremacist / nationalist and now dislike Spencer (he later became a white nationalist).

he was seen by the media as the "leader of the alt-right", which no one in that movement thought he was (nor he), only a prominent figure see "making sense of the alt right" by the political scientist George Hawley (published by Columbia University].

[note I am not calling Scott alexander alt-right or white supremacist or whatever, that is a obvious lie, this is just factually wrong]

Ezra pound (whatever you think of his other opinions it doesn't matter here) proposed that Artist and people they name / extend in their will (usually progeny) will have eternal benefits of royalties, and anyone can print their work (so as long as the artist get their allotted loyalties). I am not sure it is the best system but is better then what we have.

He also basically supported UBI (he supported the economic ideology of "Social credit" which is quite similar).

UBI + Poundian copyright will solve a lot of Artist's economic problems.

I would hope that it also allows searching transcriptions of film and audio. This is something YouTube doesn't do, it would totally super-charge your experience.

combine it with a recommendation system = infinite fun

The pandemic is a stressful event and so the attendance to churches should increase after. This is a pattern commonly seen (including after the 1919 pandemic).

agreed, same with many other events like "gamergate"

Naturalistic explanations can explain away the need for super natural explanations, yes we are at the vantage point. In no way is naturalism a pre-suppostion as presuppositional apologetic claim.

I feel like the author is basically arguing that Atheism victory was no victory and just a false victory. Secularity became a assumption and not some intellectual victory. Religion thrown on the side.

Obviously this is true to some extent however, religion has been fighting a war with science for hundreds of years and has clearly intellectually lost. The vast majority of religions do make empirical scientific claims

1. dualism of some kind
2. life after death
3. claims of the age of the earth
4. man being made at once.
5. claims on how the earth or universe was founded
6. archeological and anthropological claims
7. claim of demons and exorcisms

(1) there is no central model that is the contrary to physicalism. There is no dualistic science or soul science. There is however psychology, neuroscience and cognitive science. (2) if physicalism is true that minds depend on bodies and when bodies die the mind dies then their is no life after death (3) geology finds the earth is much older then most religions claim (4) biology and paleo-anthropology finds a gradual evolution of man, not intelligent design (5) cosmology and astronomy does not find the belief common in most religions that the earth is the center of the universe (it's a tiny blip) or that it's flat (Vedas argues this) (6) we haven't found a great solomonic kindgom or other major claims of religions (7) exorcisms have little evidence (can be explained as communal reinforcement & self-deception) nor demons as the source of diseases.

I have head the claim before (I think some post-modern philosopher wrote about it) that Atheism came about due to theologians throwing God further and further back. Descarte & Locke both christian fundamentalist put our body of knowledge on a firm rational and empirical basis. Kant had to throw God into the noumenon, from their Atheism came easily with the likes of Feurbach arguing it is projection of human ideals

Im not sure I believe both stories but this is kinda a inverse of that.

He does have the best basis for his Christianity (anti-foundationalist reformist epistemology) way better then Wittgenstein fideism crap.

This is non-sense (formally called Wittgenstein fideism) if you accept the idea that religion is talking a different language then science and therefore no scientific claim can debunk or attack religious ideas then their is no reason why any religious claim is not correct which leads to a totally contradictory and absurd belief system (christian science prayer healing can cure COVID), See Michael Martin's critique of Wittgenstein fideism, there are other philosophers as well who have critiqued it.

The vast majority of religions (in particular examining Christianity) have their claims in doubt by science, this debate has raged for hundreds of years.

not consistent with the findings of cosmology (earth is just a tiny blip), geology (earth much older), evolution (man not created at once) or archeology, (no great solomonic kingdom is found). Exorcisms have little evidence (can be explained as communal reinforcement & self-deception) nor demons as the source of diseases. religious astronomy is not accurate to the more correct astronomy today.

Probably it would have made holocaust revisionism / denial stronger if it wasn't in place. France is basically the mother country of revisionism / holocaust denial for a variety of factors namely having the first revisionist, french Marxist Paul Rassiner, La Monde publishing revisionism, Noam Chomsky semi-endorsing Faurisson who was basically the first hardcore revisionist. I really don't how it helped it spread in any way.

This is assuming that parties will all behave the same and that the far-right parties have a meaningful chance of taking power given the censorship. If they actually had a chance the french government would just ban them and possibly jail the people like they did in Slovakia. Not saying censorship is good but this is assuming a lot.

Has their been a far-right leadership in Germany since world war 2? No. I don't understand how censoring them doesn't stop them politically. Slovakia and Greece has a far-right (literal 1488) party as it's third biggest party, both rapidly growing. They just outright ban them.

This is a empirical question but I don't understand how if something is openly distributed it won't be more popular. India has a very lax policy on pro-axis WW2 revisionism and narratives of it are popular and frequently in said in mainstream publications and even textbooks.

Whatever hate speech laws the Weimar Republic had, it allowed the Nazi party to take power overall quite democratically.

To me the bigger threat is if political banning leads to increased violence (JFK quote) and the general lower quality of our culture if saying the wrong thing lands you into federal prison (reminiscent of dictatorships).
