Comment Re:assumed it would. (Score 1) 552

The video ads are what I hate the most.

Autoplay was the beginning of the loss of audience for slashdot.

Exactly this. Years ago /. said "we really like you, so you can turn ads off". Well, I really like /., so I said to myself, said I, "I don't mind a few ads. Once in a blue moon I'll actually click on something interesting. I don't mind /. making some bucks."

And then load times started getting annoying. Then...Autoplay!

I have now de-selected ads.

... " Nobody is going to pull the feather actuator prematurely!"

And I imagine if they *called* it the "feather actuator", perhaps nobody would have done it. From the story, every reference to the switch is as a feather unlock. To me, unlock doesn't mean actuate.

I'd be curious as to what the official nomenclature for the switch is.

But knowing to not shoot selfies of yourself being a total jackass is something that can make some sense a lot earlier than 18. If some 15 year old can know enough not to drop his pants in front of his grandmother or in front of his classroom at school, he already has what it takes to know not to do it online.

Mod this up. (I've already posted in the thread, so I can't.)
