HN is the only internet community I’ve found to be largely good. Thank you to everyone for all your kind posts and comments, and intellectual discussion. Love to you all.
It’s also amazingly inclusive. There was a poster here who complained that they were effectively homeless and upset their Pixel phone would no longer hold a charge. Someone offered to send them a used laptop.
I think we thoughtfully discuss issues related to tech, even though we don’t always agree.
(If you are gearing up to reply to the last three words of the previous paragraph, I can promise you I'm not interested in hearing it. You have your preferences and priorities, and I have mine)
My analysis was excellent, thank you very much. I don't run from challenges, I just don't want to derail threads with endless back-and-forth arguments too much. I think generally once two people have said their bit, back-and-forth discussion tends to focus on minor rabbit-hole manner-and-form disagreements rather than anything substantive.
And yes for the record, I stand by the comment I made with the provisos that (1) anything I say is based on what information I have at the time, which might change, (2) opinions and philosophies change over time as well, and (3) nothing I have seen so far has changed my mind on that point.
