There's an important distinction between prohibiting speech or commerce you dislike and refusing to consume or participate in what you dislike. If the equivalent augmented reality technology were developed, I'm unsure of what grou

You make a valid observation. However I doubt that most Systemd haters are champions of commercial bloat. If I had to generalize, I'd assume that they dislike both.

"If it isn't broken, don't fix it" There's an argument for rampant consumption as a toxic buying pattern. If we are upgrading our systems just to use bloated webpages - webpages that offer nothing of substance over

We are living in interesting times. Customers openly admit they prefer speculation over content. From my view, this is all downstream from our monetary environment. If central banks can print trillions, why shouldn't private actors val

As an example, Anderson Cooper of CNN proudly admits that he worked as an intern at the CIA. Do with that what you will. There's a prejudice to pejoratively dismiss these things out of hand as conspiracy theory. One could easily push b

When I looked at it, I found that incentive ad networks want to use their blobs on mobile devices. They feel that the closed binaries protect them from ad fraud. Google does offer a webgame interstitial ad network. You'll need volume f

The demonization of the other is a base tribal instinct. There's some irony when it comes from people who celebrate themselves as "inclusive". Otherwise, it isn't especially novel or interesting. It is a useful tool for

If people can sell pies, vegetables, dairy and sometimes cider at informal farmers markets, cannabis should be the same. Moldy cannabis is self-apparent in most cases. Toxic distilled alcohol isn't. Some claim you can use a flame test

I agree that wages haven't kept pace with productivity gains. However, proposed solutions such as increased costs, regulations and further currency devaluation won't get us there. They are the causes rather than the solutions.

If you're clever enough to abuse thermal printers, you can probably also apply that ingenuity to solving problems for profit. In this regard, perhaps the anti-work ideology is limiting. I understand and appreciate that some will find t
