Comment Re:Bullshit. [But why is it BS?] (Score 1) 120

> would you possibly settle for a deep "Why?" button that deeply explained where the ad came from, exactly how your personal information was used to select the ad for you, and even explored the motivations of the advertiser?

Why should I even want to waste my time looking up why I saw an ad? It's not like I am browsing the web for the ads.

Comment Re:Indent with tabs... (Score 1) 238

That's only needed because IDEs are bad at formatting tabs. Ever tried aligning in MS Word? It changes the tab width depending on the length of the text, so they are aligned.

Tab means tabulator, it is for creating fucking tables. It was invented on typewriters and even MS Wordpad gets it right. But IDEs that cost hundreds of dollars still use fixed-size tabs? What. The. Fuck!

Yes there is, but the worst form comes from the OP.
Twitter priorizes self-replies from the OP and now spam companies started to offer someone with a viral tweet money in exchange for them praising the product under their viral tweet.

The other spam is spam accounts using all currently trending hashtags in tweets that has nothing to do with the hashtag. Other reply spam itself is rare.
