I'll stop posting, but not stop visiting.

It's all so unnecessary. They don't have to ditch classic at all and plenty of other sites carry a legacy mode. That'd be all I'd ask - that way I wouldn't need javascript just to load comments, or put up with the sidebar taking up half of my screen width.

It's a shame. The editing is sometimes sketchy and occasionally completely incorrect, the stories can be hysterical or just plain rubbish, but it doesn't matter. The point is that /. often has brilliant contributions from people involved in a wide range of fields. Driving those contributions away will be the death of this site.

I'm certainly not of their caliber, but I feel that if enough of us simply stopped posting Dice might reconsider.

My primary computer is quiet enough, it's the other four in the room that make all the noise.

God, I wish the editors were like that here ;)

Or mention the problem people have with the Canonical CLA in the first place, which according to TFA is the requirement that contributers sign an agreement that gives Canonical the right to relicense their contribution under a proprietary licence.

Your move, bitches.

It's amusing that advertisers are talking of ethics, as if they're some sort of moral guardian. Remember, these people want to sell you things. They don't give a shit whether you can afford it, or whether it might harm you, or whether it causes damage or loss somewhere down the line. Going back to Edward Bernays, advertisers have used psychology to essentially manipulate the customer into buying their goods.

Look at the lengths that advertising platforms have gone to in order to make their ads relevant. Facebook, Google and the like have all gone to extraordinary lengths to maximise their ad revenues, often to the detriment of user privacy. Mining emails and messages for keywords to use in advertising isn't ethical in my opinion. Nor is tracking me with third party cookies, or with Google's new adID system.

I'm not saying they're all that bad, or even that I object to minimal, low overhead text based advertising. If an advertising agency was launched that only served simple text ads without incessant tracking I would unblock them quite readily. I understand that sites need revenue. However, suggesting I have an ethical obligation to expose myself to such an unethical industry in exchange for content doesn't wash with me.

Introduce advertising with a better ethical compass, and I will respond in kind by viewing it. Until then, the adblockers stay.

Removes malicious software, that just happens to use Tor.

Come on /., you can do better than this.

This FLAC plugin works for me with Winamp 5.24 (admittedly an old release), though I can't vouch for 24/192 files.
