It's tough to call DEI "dissent" when it is broadly mandated by HR departments, university administrations, and in many cases state law.

Has Florida been banning books from universities?!

"Schools" usually means K-12 schools.

SeaMonkey has a classic UI and is basically a modern Netscape Communicator. You can ignore the rest and just use the Mail part. It's a solid email program that has worked well for about a decade now.

Counterpoints: social bonding in sharing a physical space, lots of nonverbal communication in face-to-face meetings.

Don't get me wrong, I love remote work. And Zoom meetings have made it way easier to pull together groups of people on different schedules. But there are significant benefits to being in-office too.

There was a science fiction story about this, with phone auto-message and auto-answer systems connecting with each other long after all the humans were dead.

It's called bribery or corruption and is common in third-world countries. "You actually want me to do the job I'm already paid for? Give me cash."

It's interesting how national media reports this. Whether you agree with them or not, Proud Boys are incredibly clear about protesting all-ages drag shows. "18+ gets rid of us" is common chant. "Groomer" only applies to events with kids present.

Yet the media reports it as a mysterious "war on drag," as though small-government types hate performance art. That's funny.

Someone says: "I'm making a new OS/desktop environment/text editor that works for power users."

I hear: "I'm making this for me."

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Many powerful tools came about because people didn't like the way the old one worked.

Remember when web pages were text with a few images, with browser settings (font/size/color?) that let users style things to suit their own needs? Those were good days.

> What makes it worse is that there's always some hidden setting or configuration somewhere to blame, so you never really can blame Word.

Yes you can.
