32 year matches the age of Aminet, which will now outlive this. (Though not 'online' back in 1992, Aminet did start as an archive then.)

Either it will become popular, and users will have choices, finally.

... or, it will fail miserably, either because of lack of use, or of abuse/malware, in which case Apple will be happy to say "Told you so!"

So like I said, use the "...Free (conditions apply)" one and specify the conditions separately (yes, including anything about 1099 that might affect the price)

Those guys are arrogantly stupid. They think they can swindle people out of money so easily; I'm glad the FTC is still coming down on them hard.

They could've avoided that so easily, by doing any one of these variations:

"File Now! Free for low-income individual and families"
"File for Free*!" with the [*] conditions listed/linked immediately below text
"File for Free (conditions apply)" with direct link to conditions

Customers are still queueing

And how!

Our stupid local Walmart has converted most of the original checkout lanes to self-serve; I counted 30 self-checkouts (two-thirds of those '10 items or less', the rest larger with more space to place your groceries), but they're nearly useless:

• - Most remain 'closed' because they don't have enough employees on staff to monitor all of them at once (WTF happened to the staff that used to man the traditional checkout lanes that got removed???).
• - This creates a long queue of people waiting to get a machine, before even beginning to checkout.
• - And thanks to the lack of staff, you have to wait a minute or more before you get help when you need it with these stupid machines. And pray you only need help once.

What makes it worse is when of those pesky Walmart employees then hover over your shoulder and wait until you're about to pay to start pushing their Walmart Mastercard on you.

The AI companies also argue what they're doing falls under the legal doctrine of fair use — probably the strongest argument they've got — because it's transformative

Ok, cool. All I have to do is take the latest hot movie, copy it, transcode it, add a screen of text of why the studios hated all the strikes, and re-publish it as I wish, because it's "transformative". Perfectly legal by their logic.

Same year as the Mars landing, right?

a feature the social media site's billionaire owner Elon Musk has long pushed as part of his plan to develop an "everything app."

More like "the nobody-uses-it-anymore app".

You're kidding, right? Google is so fucking useless at search that I never bother even using it anymore.

Probably by having a heartbeat.

Riiiiight. And if they (those privacy intruders) claimed infringement by someone else, they'd dismiss that same claim they're now making in their own defense now. Fucking hypocrites.

...this should be interesting.

Well I'll be... it's Gaggle, not Google, they're talking about.

Still, just refer to them as 'Privacy Rapists', since it's what fits best.

Refer to Google/Alphabet as the 'Privacy Rapists' that they are. That'll get people realizing what's really going on.

But then the services will whine like the little bitches that they are about implementing this makes it too easy to cancel, and because it's so easy it means it's easily done fraudulently by someone else that hacked into a user's account, so no one should be able to cancel so easily because "won't someone please think of the children!" (or some such lawyer-conjured up nonsense).
