Wow, that entire article is so interesting. To be honest, I'm slowly coming around to cheering for people with low incomes in developing countries destroying Facebook.

The replies are gloriously butthurt.
Quality sneer. Thank you for your effort.
This idiocy has been patiently submitted 3 times before but finally broke containment

Dude posted to the EA forum as suggested and it went over like a lead balloon:

Realistically, most EAs will vote for the white male over the non-white female anyway, but it's on-brand for them to post a giant substack with reasons why.
Appealing to Wikipedia is... a choice.
Thanks for the link, I did not know about this outfit (and jeez, I know naming stuff is hard, but "Ploopy" is kinda bad as a company name).
While I appreciate what they're trying to do, the aesthetics are very much "hackerspace afficionado". Logi could presumably bring premium materials and finishing to a "forever mouse".
In my experience, mice don't really break since optical tracking replaced rollerballs.
What does happen is that the exterior gets grody and the glidepads wear out.
A true "forever mouse" would be one where the stuff that gets worn out is easy to clean or replace. Ideally the tracking unit itself can be replaced, although that might be excessive.
For Logitech to produce a mouse like this, however, would require them to make a multi-decade commitment to supply parts and specs, which is basically just a cost sink in today's world.
Because Bitcoin sets itself up as the antithesis of governments' ability to use fiscal discretion in budgeting, or central banks' monetary discretion in stabilizing an economy, people's financial investment in Bitcoin usually ends up morphing into an emotional and ideological investment in being antagonistic toward those parts of liberal democracy, regardless of the policy being implemented.
Great summary.
Let's just say that negative numbers remains a mystery for LLMs.
I guess the people making the "Boss Hogg" references were very very old liberals/hippies, because man that reference is dated, and his political opponents won't try to give him an epithet they'd consider positive.
