There's a huge difference between criticism, and saying you wish that someone was retroactively aborted.

This is completely ignoring the fact that ads are how the content you enjoy gets paid for, and part of the social contract is that, since people won't pay, that the content will be paid for by ad views.

Then people won't use it. But knowing the internet, people will claim up and down that it doesn't have any value, while still using it. And then call the person greedy for wanting to feed their family.

I like to make those things too. I also like getting paid for doing something I like. And like I said, not everyone is lucky enough to where they can give away a lot of their labor.

"I don't know why you were downmodded but this is absolutely correct." Because nobody likes to talk about actually creating things. They feel like everything should be free, because costs of replication are low.

"Why someone feels entitled to my money, just because they facerolled their keyboard for a half an hour?" They're not the ones feeling entitled. You read their content. You used the product of their labor. Isn't the enti

People like to eat food and pay rent. Not everyone can afford to give away their hard work for free.

"There are (or should be) only two parties to a web request: the client and the server. Neither Apple, nor the State, nor Google, nor anyone else, is legitimately a party to my session" The ad is arguably part of the content, as i

"Just ask nicely and maybe I'll disable adblock or donate if I feel like the content was worth it." No you won't. You'll think, "Maybe I'll do it tomorrow," or, "You know, I didn't really en

"What precisely is the logical flaw?" That instead of having the people who are consuming and enjoying the content pay for it, that the entire economic system needs to be overhauled. I'm not opposed to UBI, but that is clearl

"We already pay for every byte of data that moves across the wire" You're paying for that byte to get from Point A to Point B. You haven't paid for the creation of that byte, though. "The right answer to the current

Automated payments are that great of an idea, because then I have no idea how much I'm actually spending. And you're crazy if you think most people will go in and look at their itemized "content bill" unless they find a

Snorkeling and psychotropic drugs are two completely different things.

Probably that there's a difference between uBlock and uBlock Origin.

If it's in a home directory, then the stuff installed is really only usable by that person. I can see some instances where that would be desirable, but I would prefer that the stuff I install is usable by the whole system, even though

Again, no it's not. Unless you just want to ignore everything about where you're making that directory.

They want /usr/local to be owned by you.

"But Apple can't be trusted" You haven't given a reason why. And no, the existence of iOS is not a reason.

No, it's not. Mainly because it's not just "adding a directory"

Keep in mind that you can re-enable SIP right after you create the directory, if you had to create it at all.

OS X has always provided a fine Unix experience for me.

Why? Does the value they contribute to the business change that much simply because they can now live cheaper?

"This "must be colocated" mind-set is lose-lose no matter which way you cut it." Is it? Are they that starved for talent? You turned it down, but was it that hard for them to find another?

No, the context is insane rent prices. That doesn't translate to losing money. Several people have stated that the difference in salary is making up for it, to where they have as much after rent, after tax income or more than in other
