Why can't Nevada update its own laws on its own website?

There is little worse action you can take than discouraging others from doing anything. Far worse problems than PACER have been solved. Just because you've been unsuccessful doesn't necessarily mean others will be.

However bad you think you have it with phone notifications - it is ten-times worse for the elderly. The enormity of the garbage spam they get from phone app notifications and text messages is breathtaking.

Up until roughly 2010 Google was a pretty consistent advocate and activist for the open Internet.

You are the one that replied to my comment demanding I research sources for your argument which you repeatedly made false assumptions on. It's quite probable I read some sources that were dated or had some more nuance to it that I don&

No, I read the PS3 being sold at a loss constantly across 2010 and 2011.

And a press release that came out at the same time isn't?

I think this because it was all over the tech news outlets at the time that the primary reason was due to Sony losing money because of console hardware being sold below the price of the components themselves. A company press release is not

I thought they removed it because people were buying PS3's in bulk for datacenter use with OtherOS because the hardware was being sold for less than the cost of the parts with the expectation of getting their money back with game sales

Pop-ups working on (to pick a number out of thin air) 0.01% of viewers and alienating 5% to never visit the website again is still incentive to use pop-ups. Pop-ups working to get money and pop-ups working to alienate users are not mutually

Firefox has had poor stewardship for quite a few years now with an uncertain future. Even moreso - uBlock Origin doesn't block the modern equivalent of pop-up ads unless you manually block elements. Even then - half the time the block

Financial incentives, while a large motivator for companies, are frequently not the exclusive one. Google for quite a few years was seen as a good steward of the free and open Internet. To assert people shouldn't feel betrayed because

Considering time does, in fact, move linearly and only in one direction - it's a default. Not a moved goalpost. And referring to the present in contrast with the next Presidential election - an event thematically related to the previo

Wow. Great. Which term is our President on again and can you confirm that time flows linearly and cannot, in fact, flow backwards to undo the election? The public has no ability to affect change on the policy this Presidency makes. Especia

Maybe you need to read more news if you think we have people in charge who'd care about public opposition to the practice. This is foisting misery on people who have no capacity to affect change.

Almost all news ignores just about everyone unless someone else actively tries to inject the news into their life. Being relentlessly informed of all the miseries of the world is a choice for most people in developed countries not in the mi

Well then the software needs to have its bugs fixed if it wants to have a chance at longer term survival.

It seems like the equivalent of reading everyone's journals every home in the entire nation. Cartoonishly unconstitutional. But yes, I'm aware of the Third Party doctrine ruled on by judges whose conception of people making phone

Is this a troll post? It's taught in Constitutional Law 101 that shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre is, in fact, Constitutional. The source of that quote was a war-time judge who used that analogy in his ruling in 1919 aga

I'm annoyed at it replacing resolvconf. At reboot. At date. At logging. At cron. At ntpd. At network configuration scripts. Some of these I'm sure make life easier for maintainers. Others just feel like change for the sake of

Not what I meant. Systemd has been replacing a bunch of commands too. Not just the init system.

I just want a single tool that has a known, generalized set of capabilities on just about every distribution. Systemd's obsession with remaking every single wheel in Linux has been aggravating enough. Please don't do it again.

????? Why does the existance of an AI chat box website mean a browser must do more than take you to that website? The forceful inclusion of LLMs in places that have no value are simultaneously ubiquitous and obnoxious.
