The only problem with this is you have to go stand in the sunlight to charge it.

These types of draconian laws will ruin the internet if they are ratified.

Itâ(TM)s easy to switch the search default in Firefox to whatever you want. I use duckduckgo, personally.

Reddit used to have principles that aligned with the open source model. Now they are removing mods that protested their API pricing. They have changed and that is how they are killing the goose that lays golden eggs. Everyone was cheering for them to succeed. Not anymore. The good will people had towards reddit is gone. They killed it.

It's going to cost $20mil a year to run Apollo with the current API pricing. It's not sustainable. Reddit is killing themselves like Digg did.

I know someone who had covid-19 and then got better and then caught it again a week later. The antibodies don't do shit.

Here comes the flood of free market conservatives mad at private companies for making private decisions. LOL.

What the hell has happened to the /. comments section over the past 10 years? This place has gone fucking crazy with right wing crybabies. Used to come back here to see reasoned and thoughtful discussion even while the trolls were prevalent, but now it's just some bot-esque echo chamber of crazy people. It's like the bots and crazies that infested local newspaper comments section added this site to their target lists for propaganda.

When we get our army of AI soldiers, we'll remember who our friends were. (and weren't)

- Love Canada

As long as it's not BAD FUCKING ROCKET, we'll be ok. =)

The users will be less happy - hell, some will be downright miserable - but they'll be more engaged,

You're right. However, users can choose not to participate on Facebook.

Personally, FB is an addressbook. As long as my addressbook can't downvote my ACCOUNT, who cares?

I don't post much and if I post something that I'm interested in and people downvote, I will ask them what's up because they are people I know. If their explanation is sketchy or rude, unfriend. Problem solved.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

People really need to start growing up and taking their own responsibility regarding their behaviour and mood. If your mood is bad, why is it bad? Are you worn out from running on the FB treadmill of clicking and being possessed by your friends list?

Every human being knows if they are getting sick from toxic things. FB's toxicity is SLOW. It won't kill you right away but it could if the depression or anxiety from whether you will get accepted or not gets bad enough.

Dopamine is what FB is after. It's proven that a 66% negative exposure will double the high you get when you get one upvote or comment.

But FB has had downvote installed for YEARS. It was just internal. If they say they didn't have it then why are so many user posts never seen by ANYONE?

Once the downvote feature is live, the FB feed can go back to realtime posts from all friends. Users could then just lower visibility on friends they care less about.

Calling someone a troll because they disagree with you is a very weak dismissal tactic

I agree with you on this statement, but YOU had to remove part of the sentence for YOUR view to APPEAR valid.

Appearances are deceiving.

>"He was an Anti Net Neutrality Anti Hillary [...]"

Is this sufficient reason to ban someone? Can you point in Twitter's TOS the list of disallowed opinions that he violated?

No. You have to add the rest of his sentence and then it becomes sufficient evidence. Stop gaslighting it. You are smelling up this place.

Or... maybe you exist in the multiverse where people who make fun of those who apply CAPITAL LETTERS for EMPHASIS must serve fries to those of us with a healthier outlook on what it takes to exist within civilized society?

But maybe you're right and MAYBE it's the other way around. Either way, I'll promise to be nice to you from now on if you agree to do the same! :)

I'll even friend u with mah 2digits of THOR'S HAMMER!!! :D

And how can you not understand that Blizzard still (rightfully, I might add) owns the assets?

I do understand it. However here is the real problem for Bliz in that regard: the private servers don't touch the assets. They are swarmed over a torrent and these are the same clients that BLIZ released to everyone already.

So the issue of private servers is NOT COPYRIGHT. The server only talks to the clients. YOU CANNOT REGULATE TALKING. :D

Bliz is trying to be ANTI-COMPETITIVE also. They started doing this stuff when players would leave the game to try other games when the content got boring. Then it just became a thing.

But really... Bliz are just being dicks about it. They should have originally just LISTENED to players and created PATCH SERVERS. We begged. We pleaded.

Now we get CLASSIC. Will it only be vanilla? Will it have some features that are great now but weren't in the game back then?
