I had a look at it a few months ago, and my impression is that while it's very powerful, it's not for the average user. Heck, I work as a developer, spend a third of my day in the terminal, and I still wouldn't use it.

I have to admit, you've convinced me. I'm not a gamer, so I didn't have much experience with this. My frame of reference was streaming services, where more platforms meant fever content on each, and having to pay more to watc

It sounds lovely, but it doesn't work out this way. Companies dont't open their own stores, and sell the games there cheaper than at a competitors store. They only sell it there.

How is having to navigate N stores, because all companies want to make more money off you, better for the consumer?

High end phones from most manufacturers cost the same.

That's awful to hear. Did you try to do a chargeback?

Yeah, parent is a bit out of touch with reality. Especially funny, considering: 1. In lots of places most manual work is done by white people, who as I've heard can't be targets of racism. 2. Manual labor can be a very well paying

And? Is it not true? Manual labor is not a profession where you're dressing to impress. Their clothes are functional, but are quite ugly. I did manual labor for a while, and guess what: my clothes sucked too. No laborer is going to get

So not wanting to wear cargo pants because I think they look like shit makes me classiest and racist? This kind of behavior where people are labeling anything and everything racist is very much harmful, and makes every sensible people less

While I'm on almost exactly the same diet they're promoting, I have to agree. I considered going to them, when I was first starting this diet, but their prices are absurd: three times what I'm paying for consultation to an al

This is true for every diet. If you get gain weight on your current lifestyle, start dieting and go back after you lost it, you'll gain that weight back. There's no magic pill, if your current lifestyle makes you fat, you need a l

And would you trust them not to store them? I certainly wouldn't.

You mean those streaming sites, where the page is 3/4 advertisements? Yeah, I image those have porn ads, but adblock helps there too.

There are quite a few free VPN apps, so getting porn would be only one more step away.

I generally agree with you about the effects of porn, especially on children, it definitely had an effect on me. But, this kind of age verification bullshit will not help anyone. The politicians will be able to say they did something, and t

Where is porn pushed onto anyone in the internet now? I don't think I seen anything remotely porn-like without looking for it.

I think you get the percentages wrong: 95% of kids who want to watch porn will easily find a workaround.

Why would it change? It's not like officially not being able buy alcohol stops anyone who wants to drink from drinking. We can pretend that this is the biggest danger that people under 18 face, but let's be real, much worse things

Alcohol and cigarettes are restricted to people above 18/21 in most places. Yet somehow I see 14-15 year olds drinking and smoking (even weed, which is illegal). I think I first saw a porn magazine before I was 10. Where there's a

And at the same time you'd give your NSFW internet usage patterns to your credit card company. I image they'd love it, even more information to sell about you!

I couldn't find much information, but in this case, doesn't the government directly have access to the sites you used this feature on?

The difference here, that parent was pointing at, is that you eat every single day. You might need to fix your toilet one day, or get a house a few times in your life, but eating is something that you can't get around. Just like you sh

As an iPhone user, I'm very happy that apps can't implement their own push notification systems, or have persistent background connections open, as it's one of the main reasons I get good battery life.

Unfortunately the approximations are not that great, requiring you to route all your network traffic through an unknown company.
