Most of the free content we consume on the Internet is garbage, and if it all up and disappeared tomorrow, we'd be better off for it. I block tracking cookies as a matter of course, and I wish everyone did the same.

Is there a better term for SJWs?

No, it's a lot more absurd than that. By leaps and bounds.

In my experience, it's rife with both.

Thing is, before they started hellbanning all of those subreddits (TrayvonMartin, fatpeoplehate, etc.) I had no idea they even existed. For 8 years I've been blissfully unaware of all the garbage subreddits popping up.

Can't articulate your issues with CL, but can click the downvote button. Pretty much sums up HN these days.

We have that; it's called UTC.

Oh for God's sake.

"Aggressively litigious nature"? Really? Because this is the first lawsuit I'm aware of involving CL, and they were clearly in the right here. So ... what's your beef?

"Lennart is a skilled dev with some excellent ideas and some controversial ideas. The stuff he designs eventually ends up being picked by distributions and defaulted." He works for RedHat. That's why his generally-not-so-gre

Just keeping the military-industrial complex well-fed, basically. It doesn't matter if the thing can even get off the ground.

What a terrible, terrible analogy.
