I didn't say for free, I don't think anything is or should be free. We have "the phone company" equivalent on the internet (registrars and hosts) denying access to ideologies they don't approve of. If you don't

"The internet" has "other people's infrastructure" built in to its very fabric. You cannot have the internet without other people's infrastructure, whether in 1995 or 2022.

Said in 1835, almost 200 years ago. I really can't think it's relevant in a thread steeped in talk about Twitter and deplatforming on social media.

I don't like it. I mean, I like the principle of it. I'm glad everyone gets to say what they want. I don't think we should change that. What I think is stupid is when we have someone with a literal Forrest Gump IQ debating fa

Domain registrars and webhosts are canceling accounts based on content, so no, not anyone can use the internet to communicate.

I hope you're in charge of maintaining the list of vulnerable groups. Expect death threats, whether or not they're legal.

Just have a user preference toggle. Infinite scrolling IMO is part of the dark patterns that are attempting to collect all of your attention. Having the mental break of waiting for a new page load is a significant change for me--I'm wa

On first read of the title I thought it was about TES: Oblivion, from which I thought I was sorta one of the weird collectors. I have a coin from the empire, I think it came with a box set / special edition. It could be from Morrowind,

I get irrationally angry when the news reports on what people tweeted. Sometimes they're literally anonymous, unsourced one-line opinions. I've seen articles that were collections of these, passed as commentary on politics or the

I travel 17 hours by car for the same reasons, plus the freedom of having my car when I'm there. I also often bring things with me, or back with me, that I wouldn't be able to do on a plane (like a kayak). If you have people to vi

I have, yes. I've also had an account since invite-times, and the spam filtering was the main feature that has kept me from migrating off. I now get terrible, obvious-spam messages. Huge images to evade text filtering, subject lines wi

I killed 83 and I mostly sided with the majority. I sometimes also assigned blame to those tied up, or at least agency; they could have prevented this situation, somehow, probably.

If you are "caught" with a standing pool of water, what is the recourse? They help you fix the problem? Or do you receive a punishment?

Interesting. Ours used some dos32.bas-style interaction with the AOL 5.0 client during their de-facto sign up process. > started with a capital letter Fixed that for you. We had an lcase exploit, of course.

One of the first serious HTML pages I remember editing was a clone of an "AOL InstaKiss" page that was used for phishing. Spoofed email address sends you an email with a link to an instakiss some secret admirer sent you, you get t

This was me, too. Shout-outs to maxl, nion, frikk, fatmac, rikky, kai and oracle, syfa and some other good dudes from that time. Some of you are here, I know. Can't believe we're talking about dos32.bas in 2022.

I will never understand the desire to control one's neighbors' property. I don't care who owns it and it's none of my business how they use it.

I've never seen an ad for Uber. I know about them because I keep up with startup news. They were in the news plenty before the legal issues.

I don't totally disagree, but it's worth noting that when I read about iBeacons "on the internet," that was likely just a sophisticated ad, disguised as a review or blog article. It's definitely better than the ads

Would it not be easy to print a fake? I don't really understand why "can be easily faked" is how you're justifying this.
