   I think I would agree with you. However when I was a kid, I never used my desk to study. I studied where it was comfortable, which either ended up being on top of my bed, or on the floor - both of which had plenty of room to spread out my

   Only a very small percentage, and even then, most of them can only throw a few dollars into it, so they know they won't become rich from it. I wouldn't worry about it. Like another commentor alluded to, there have always been an

   I wish SyncThing was more userfriendly or something. I've tried it on different Android phones and computers and have never gotten it to work.

   How can you categorically say that is untrue while not providing any evidence to the contrary, but in fact confirm the other person's observations? Essentially: they said commercials have A and B, you said that's untrue because co

   My observation is 95% of people will never change a default setting even if it's directly interfering with what they're trying to do. I'm not sure why. Either maybe they don't know that there's a way to change sett

   Not everything that hurts Facebook is good. In this case a company which voluntarily uses a service of another company is reconsidering. They are challenging the status quo that everyone has to be on Facebook. That is good in my opinion.

   My coworkers are talking about how many "shares" of Dogecoin they bought based off the advice they're giving one another. Something something... shoe shine boy. Today one talked about buying "BitTorrent" and that it

   I don't care for Starbucks products, but if they do this, I'll stop by and purchase a pastry to show them my support.

    I used to be active in crypto subreddits. It's incredible how many people don't realize 'for every buyer, there is a seller'. A lot of the commenters did not grasp basic economics.

    I have always felt like my natural sleep/awake cycle is longer than 24 hours (maybe 26 hours). If a majority of participants said they felt like only 30 days passed, then their cycles are 32 hours long. I wish we can one day evolve in

    I live in urban Texas. At a glance, my truck has perfect paint. You can't see the 3rd party liner I put in and the gouges in the truck bed. Most of the time you aren't going to see all the gear or trailers I haul for different

    Well, this story is a part of our history in the sense that we wrote it: The Road Not Taken by Harry Turtledove (It's a great, short sci-fi story for anyone that may be interested. It should be pretty easy to find the PDF.)

    That sounds like semantics. Who needs a privacy-respecting operating system when a popular privacy-invasive operating system runs the Linux software just fine?

    I'd really like for someone to get a contract, then sell the information a la carte for $1-$5 a pop. Until that happens, people won't care.

    I also read my mortgage paperwork (annoyed the title company, but they didn't make it an issue, my realtor was fine with it). Mine didn't have anything about advertising or data sharing though. Mine was through a credit union, a
