I sure want it to be

Federation and an open source code base should prevent one team's dumb decisions from being able to wreck a whole platform, like reddit, twitter, digg, and others before

Person, place, thing? That's called a Noun

Jokes aside, I think I'd call them services or platforms

I removed Edge and IE on my work computer and the only time I had trouble was when I tried to open the built-in manual in some non-Microsoft software and it failed.

I think it used some embedded browser component that Edge or IE provides

Sway is great. What do you use for that top bar?

I don't recall if it did, but that's a good point

What podcast? I like a good podcast.

Yeah, I feel like that phenomenon happens elsewhere too. I read the book B.S. Jobs last year, and it talked about is all the (debatably) useless positions popping up at companies - extra layers of management, assistants to make the managers feel important, corporate lawyers that are only there to cause trouble for the other team's corporate lawyers. Just a whole lot of man-hours spent not making products/services/whatever.

(I wouldn't say I'm 100% on board with all the book's arguments, but it sure made me think)

I also like air conditioning

I can't ever find one good label for myself and here you are with four

Not really sure what the label means, but I'll join you on the less government team!

With more automation showing up in all different fields, I'm warming up to the idea of UBI or something like it.

Theoretically, more production is happening per human being, so everybody should have a higher standard of living. But (among other issues) people at the top are hoarding an unfair portion of the profits, and UBI seems like a straightforward way to help offset that.

Libertarian-ish, I guess.

Watching the US and other governments going on a power trip has sure been pushing me that way.

I mostly don't want government involved in anybody's lives unless they're harming others. It drives me mad when bureaucracy, police, etc. show up to harass, jail, or kill people that were minding their own business. Plus mass surveillance without a warrant.

On the other hand, I recognize the need for appropriate regulations (to avoid harming people on a broader scale). It also makes sense for them to direct large scale projects like infrastructure and certain services.

So, I guess, make life better for people. Otherwise, mind your own business

I've never again had Taco Bell since waking up early in the morning after a cursed quesadilla. Every fiber of my body was screaming that whatever was inside had to get out via any route available. The automatic heaving in conflicting directions was the worst internal pain I've ever felt. Never again
