It's already come back. Google already pieces of youtube together that they were offering separately before. I don't want them, I only and specifically want just to pay to remove ads, on principle and for convenience. But I won't pay for shit I don't want and oh yeah, also won't pay to be fucked with like how Google keeps turning autoplay back on after I've turned it off. Make the service work and let me pay for only the parts I want, and I'll pay.

Maybe there should be consequences for the victim and his defence who also didn't identify the issue with the evidence?

You've said a lot of shit things, but blaming the victim for being victimized when that is absolutely, clearly, and fully exactly what happened is a new low even for you.

Comment Re: Fuck Nvidia (Score 1) 50

Nobody makes better hardware for this than Nvidia. Nobody makes better software architecture for it either. Their graphics drivers keep getting worse, but the percentage of their income which comes from graphics keeps falling so that makes sense. It is quite unfortunate for those of us depending on them, of course, but makes all the sense in the world right now.

Yes, keep doubling down on the ignorance. That will work...

That's exactly what you're doing when you claim insulting people is not free speech. Just in case you haven't read the thread you're "contributing" to, that is exactly what you are doing. If you don't understand why insults can be free speech, then you must be still be mad that people said mean things about Hitler.

How does this even make sense from a cost/benefit perspective?

Compliance fines and civil asset forfeiture. Charge the old people on a fixed income who cannot afford to repaint their house fines which they can't pay, which you roll into property taxes which they now cannot pay, which you use as pretext to steal their home.

To me, there's ethics and economics...this violates objective economic sense

No, you just don't understand it.

and probably the ethics standards of about 95% of the population.

The vast majority does not even look into candidates' positions on CAF. They literally do not care if anyone is stealing old people's homes.

It's almost ironic that this is reported the same week as journalists in the US getting visits from FBI agents for reporting about security concerns with the new Air Force One....

When you're arguing about whether the problem is worse in US or Germany, you're admitting there's a problem.

Formally, what's happening in Germany is enforcing existing laws against insults, libel and slander.

Formally, what's happening in Germany where you can't express your opinion that someone is bad is destruction of free speech.

I don't think any of these are legal in the US either.

They aren't, but just calling someone names is slander in Germany, where in the US it's an expression of opinion. Also, in the US fact is an absolute defense against slander and libel. It doesn't matter if your intent is to cause someone financial harm, for example; if you are doing it with facts then it's legal, because expressing facts is legal.
