"When its Trump the reg is happy to bite and not afraid to express their dislike of 'bad orange man'. Compare that with Biden and his gov and there was little biting and no expression of dislike that I noticed"
it might have something to do with the difference in the way those two are "ruin the country" (usa that is). and the difference in the way they cope with critical media.
but then again, from my dutch perspective, even the democrats would be considered extreme right wing. and that is with our own populist right wing party in the coalition.

Oh man, triggering my pet peve. I have been using Apple Newton messagepads from the 130 up till the 2100 and i really digged that paradigm. Although it was very obsolete, the concept of the operating system and the way you worked with information was very good. Not even to mention the little funny things like the pitch changing blips every time you pressomething with the stylus and the animation of a paper crumbling up and landing in the dust bin.
It surely had its drawbacks, like transfer with a desktop was via a dedicated application on mac or windows and it had problems with formats like pdf. But it did not feel like a jail like IOS always felt.restrictions were mostly technical (no built in wifi) and not a restriction imposed by policy.
Oh. Im getting old. Thats all.
