Comment Perhaps people tired of that Client/Server feeling (Score 1) 50

You know, that feeling that all your input must be sent off, thought about, then finally sent back to your own computer for display. Personal computing was to remove that lag. And to not be unable to use your own computer when offline.

Hmm, maybe they listened and will try to remove that Slop... Nah.

Comment Time for a fucking law choose no advertising. (Score 1) 63

Such a law would make anything paid for by advertising to also be legally required to have an option of me paying outright cash for use of the service in return for seeing no advertisements, ever, during my subscription period.

Web sites, streaming, podcasts, social crap, software, github, sports, etc. etc. all would have the legal requirement of offering a paid 'fuck advertising' tier.

Comment If you want to be a middleman for open source. (Score 1) 88

Your legal department better have some damn good teeth. And not charge a single cent to help defend your customers' code from misappropriated uses. Even for billy's new version of an open source 'Hello Planet.' If you offer no protections except to collect money and take your cut then you are of no use to the open source community, just another self-inserted middleman like a car dealer, doordash, etc.

Comment Screens aren't the problem; sheep are the problem. (Score 1) 122

If asked, no one wants to actually see advertisements. The problem is that when they see them where no advertisement belongs, they don't do anything about it. It's easier to sit and stare than it is to return the product as defective or not as advertised (pun intended).

Comment Vape: how can we make smoking worse? (Score 1) 87

Instead of smokers simply annoying people when they do this in public, now they get to waste more electronics that wind up in a landfill - by design!

Is anyone else tired of this disposable society yet? Now instead of a cigarette butt we find used vape cartridges, used lithium ion cells, and now it includes a larger circuit board to support blue tooth! On top of that the battery could start a fire even when it is put in the trash and not on the ground.

Vapes need the equivalent to a core charge when buying a new one with a battery, that core charge should be equal to the cost of the new unit, so double the price unless you are trading in the old one.

Comment Re:All copper is "oxygen-free" (Score 1) 69

It has to do with the refining and production process. Sure all copper is pure, but the reality is that extraction and production into a usable object without introducing unwanted contaminants or trapping air within the produced object is not a simple task. Some contamination is not even a problem for most uses of copper, but not here.

- use brain?
