They say if you don't pay, you're the product, but that's obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.

There needs to be a legally mandated option to turn off all recommendations and tracking, and to require consent to enable it in the first place.
Russia really should reconsider whether it's worth parking their fleet in a foreign country.
It's only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There's nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.
Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.
It's all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it's online, it should be available everywhere.
I think the main issue with this is that pronunciation changes over time, in addition to varying by area. So if we keep changing the spelling, written works will became unreadable faster.
But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.
The AIs are the ones gaslighting.
This is the intended outcome of their actions. They'd rather get rid of useful things than allow a society that says it's fine for people to be who they are, because the overall purpose is to make people suffer.
And GOG. They used to have several games up there, and then delisted them.
Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?
I imagine they're banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.
Every position cut/not filled should mean an equivalent pay increase for everyone who has to pick up that slack, or that that slack is left where it is.
Like hosting your own email server, if you also copy everyone else's emails to your server for the heck of it.
we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.
And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.
I don't think we've had data limits for wired internet since moving on from dial-up/ISDN. But I'm still waiting for unmetered mobile data. Here all the supposedly competing providers are advertising 100 GB as unlimited. I'd rather pay for a reasonable specific speed with no metering, than have a connection that is so fast it can use up its monthly quota in an hour.
Only need term limits for non-proportional systems, like the one seat for president. If Congress was proportional to the national vote, term limits is just an unnecessary complication.
I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it's theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they'd be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google's, I mean.
Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It's not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.
We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people's work, than what individuals are doing with what they've paid for.
Or simply, if someone's profiting off of someone else's work, then worry about the rules.
Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.
Download a file, run on any player, on any device. It's always been more convenient, online services had to catch up to filesharing, not the other way around, and in many ways owe their existence to non-commercial entities showing how it could be done. They might figure out a good way of doing it, until the executives get involved and want to put their stamp on it.
Fuck no, no sacrifices. Productivity is up, wealth is up, people should be paid more for their time and have more time to spare.
