Comment #1 rule in technology (Score 1) 148

As technology improves, the customer experience gets worse.

It's been that way for at least 15 years, probably longer. It's the weirdest damn thing to watch; we have all this power and sophistication, but development houses can't seem to get out of their own way and make a product that doesn't A) Suck balls, and B) gets worse with each iteration.

MS is the most famous example of this, but they're hardly alone in this practice.

More accurate to say the bill of rights prohibits the government ( largely ) from certain actions.

Taking this a step further, who enforces "human rights" in dealing with businesses and citizens, if not the government? Who's to say that's a good thing anyway. Why can't I restrict access to me and mine from someone saying things I don't agree with? That's if you believe your "human rights" are equally and fairly applied, of course, which we all know they aren't.

No, the only sane approach to something like freedom of speech is to restrict the government and otherwise let people do as they will.

This is a clearly uneducated/basement dweller position to take. How embarassing for you.

The target market for these things is not exclusively people who know how search engines work or can even understand the warning. People increasingly have exceptionally poor levels of reading comprehension and it's even worse when the subject matter is outside of their expertise. This is well understood and not any sort of surprise to people who have social interactions with other people outside of their it/dev/ work silo.
