Perhaps it was planted (satire)
>How it's any better? Small companies can be bought by big companies. French government is as capable of trampling over their citizen's privacy the moment they feel they need it as US government is. It's better for…
Empty snark adds nothing to the conversation.
True, but both of you are missing my main point. >if we’re cutting down on inefficiencies, laundry folding robots will give people more time to exercise [...] going to the gym Exercising while a machine folds one's…
To me it does not seem like progress that, on a stressed and finite planet, humanity might "need" an energy- and resource-intensive machine to complete a task as physically undemanding (and even frivolous) as folding a…
Here's an alternative take. Climate change, and the myriad related environmental crises, are essentially a product of human population and technology. Population will follow its course, up and then down. The wildcard is…
Indeed. Even easier: complain on the article's Talk page. Somebody else may then do the work for free.
The average person has absolutely never heard of X11.
ITT: a disappointing number of low-effort drive-by comments responding to the headline alone.
I'm glad we all agree (i.e. you, me, and the bot you're replying to).
>LaJolla *Jolla, pronounced yolla. It's a Finnish word. Maybe a bad choice given the geography of tech.
That assumes that you never visit a new site. Indeed it's why I think twice before clicking links to new sites. Honest question: Are you happy with the current state of affairs, really, and just waiting patiently for…
That's exactly what I do. Or rather I just mash whatever is the nearest button to smite the banner. "Refuse", "Accept", who cares? I'm blocking user-side anyway, as the web was designed for. This whole situation is…
In a public toilet? Not happening. Back to square one.
First, I'm not "praising" anything other than choice on the part of publishers and users. If DNT is set to 1 then a publisher should be free to withhold their content. If everybody sets it to 1 then they might well…
Echoes of America's gay wedding cake case. In the US this would presumably be struck down as "compelled speech", and rightly so IMO. People refuse to pay for journalism and now publishers are prevented from allowing…
Doubtful that it's illegal, they have lawyers. Hard to say it's unethical either given that there is a clear option to pay instead of be tracked (which is in any case trivially defeated by an ad-blocker). For centuries…
There's no reason to think this (silly) opinion piece is sapping the work of their investigative staff. In an attention economy it might even be drawing eyeballs to it.
That's great to hear. I did Mallorca by ferry once, from Barcelona. I've also got to Tunisia, from Palermo. It's surprisingly easy and quick, the main issue is to make sure your documents are strictly in order because…
I was rather talking about the multiple tons of carbon emitted for the purpose of one person's 40-second esthetic experience. Disappointed that here we are in 2026, the world is burning before our eyes, and yet still…
That wasn't my point at all.
>Do it, worst case scenario you've seen more places in the world! There is a cost to be paid - somewhere, by someone - of mindless travel. I know this is not a popular position but it's true. I would correct your advice…
>Totality is unbeliveable. You have the urge to start a religion. Meh! This is what I'd heard and what I was hoping for (though certainly not counting on). In the end it was little more than a beautiful sight. A…
The trick will be to go to Tangier, on the other side of the strait. It's a 40-minute ferry ride, I did it a few months ago.
You mangled your joke. Here it is: "The sun never sets on the Bri... BBC"
