That's the whole point of Apple. Vendor lock in.

Hope you dont use the Google keyboard provided with your phone. I find protecting my data from the marketing parasite is a constant compromise with usability.

Actually obesity in the US is the norm now. Preventive healthcare should be pushed more. But remember when Michelle Obama said kids should eat more vegetables?

Cultural difference. In my country everyone gets the same standard of healthcare. If you think you think you deserve special treatment just because you're rich you can fly to the US or Singapore. Strangely enough most rich people don&#

Depends on where you live I guess? It never came up in court here but I imagine breaking the encryption is not legal.

Berlin is the black sheep in the German family. Luckily Berlin always gets bailed out by its loving Bayern family members.

Ofcourse. That's a basic feature of humans. Group think, don't want to stand out from the crowd, a sense of belonging. We're social animals. We adapt.

You should feel sorry for yourself as a consumer. Were do you think advertising money comes from? At the end of the day its all priced in the product.

So just like any religion then ;)

Maybe one day instead of prescribing sleeping pills GPs in the US will try to find out why someone has trouble sleeping. It will even save money.

I find it endlessly hilarious that nobody in the US is asking WHY Why are people taking drugs? The country needs to do some serious soul searching. Won't happen though.

No there are other considerations as well. Infrastructure, price of electricity, political stability, availability of cheap land.

So paywall your site? See if it lasts. I can't comment on.morality because it is inherently subjective but there is no legal problem here.

I myself will go to any length to avoid advertising. Luckily its pretty easy.

Information overload. Your brain is automatically filtering stuff out because if it didn't you'd go crazy. Just imagine remembering everyone's face you saw on your commute or every conversation you had at that party last week

I'll never understand Amazon's domination in the US. Its like everyone not Bezos chose to completely ignore the internet.

Wait, banks OPEN branches in Manhattan?! Isn't internet banking a thing in NYC? Like, what would you even DO in a bank these days. They don't even carry money anymore.

Nobody pays for software anymore, myself included. There are a lot of good apps on alternative stores like F-droid that snd blocking in app ads isn't very hard.

Meh I want information not design. I'll happily block any third party font in favour of what my native browser can do. What's wrong with Times new Roman? I can read it just fine.

Amazon itself is a middle man these days. With technology I forsee a future were people directly order from the factory line. But today we already see the rise of Chinese websites undercutting Western webshops. And in my own country it is q

I would like to remind everyone that the trillions of US debt is financed by a global elite who LITERALLY own America.

New Zealand also gave out passports for people who "invested" in the country. California does something alike, giving US citizenship to anyone born in the country.

Yeah Jakarta was founded as the Amsterdam of the East Indies. Sadly Indonesia doesn't have the near limitless resources of its old colonial owner that keeps Amsterdam/Holland from sinking. Climate change is going to hurt the poore

Any time my mom wants an eBook I pirate it for her. Takes me 5 minutes. Those of us who know how to computer need to help those who don't.

That's subjective. I still remember that time Fox News did a documentary on euthanasia. I personally don't think Japan is weirder than living in the US or Saudi Arabia. If you want to live in a completely different culture you hav

I've been almost entirely commercial/advertising free for years now. Not gonna lie, it isolates you from mainstream society a bit. Whether that is good or bad is debatable.

Well some European countries don't have any transaction fees at all when using a debit card. Those mobile pay systems DO.

Yeah lobbyists haven't entirely cracked EU parliament yet. Its made up of people from 27 countries from god knows how many different parties. Difficult to bribe efficiently. The US is a lot easier, a two party system is heaven for corr

Yeah this would be nice. Its easy enough to pirate a 20 year old single player game. Nobody cares really. But online projects DO attract attention of lawyers. But this is never going to happen.
