So I should have access to the data in any document made with FOSS?? Cool, give me all that sales data from that Calc file, the specs for that un-released widget since you did it in Blender, oh and your personal information you wrote up in that Writer file.
If you don't like the terms, don't buy the product. Let the free market sort things out.
Thats nice. I'll just buy out the water supply and include "Your first born become my slaves" in the terms of service. Let the free market sort things out, if they don't want to give me their first born they are welcome to die of thirst about 2 days later. That free market really works.
I wasn't aware that LG had a monopoly on televisions.
No one said anything about owning the software. In the contraty, this is usually about NOT running the manufacture provided firmware. (OpenWRT for example)
Or to stick to your restaurant example in its full absurdness: We are talking about paying a menu in a restaurant and then leaving early and cook at home instead. (The main difference is, that most of the money paid for a tv is for the hardware, and so writing of the cost for software you paid for by not using it is usually neglegible.)
So since it's absurd to do that in your restaurant analogy, it's absurd to want the software for the TV, therefore proving GPs point?
Why don't you just mug the UPS/FedEx/etc delivery person? They are already on the ground and you only need to threaten them with a weapon, not actually use it.
...if ads are served from the same CDN, that would make them harder to prescreen by subnet for delayed loading...
That's what I'm saying. The content from the same server is one thing. What if there is some CDN, (e.g. Akamai), that is used for both serving images AND ads? How would the browser know the difference if it's only looking at the server?
I didn't read TFS but since this is Slashdot and the subject is Firefox. One of two things is wrong:
Change happened, and as we all know, any change is bad. That's why people leave Firefox for Chrome! Stupid Mozilla!
Change didn't happen, why won't you change ${thing}? That's why people leave Firefox for Chrome! Stupid Mozilla!
Of course if I were calling the shots it'd be the most perfect browser ever, but I won't even so much as file a bug report even though it is FOSS. That way I don't have to come to the realization that things are more complicated than my own personal desires that may not even be reflective of the average user.
Considering you want it to ignore completely valid markup, ("float") and yet have other (unspecific) features, it does seem sort of counter to the current HTML/CSS standards. A standard on its own, sure, but when I said "non-standard" I meant, non the current standards of HTML/CSS.
Also, did you look at AMP? It seems to be what you want. It uses a special tag in the HTML to let the browser know it is "AMP" and not a "normal" website.
The amount of crap most commercial sites put into their pages is amazing. It's not only slow, but a security risk.
A non-profit organization can set up a "K.I.S.S." standard and create a minimalist browser. If a site works fine in the KISS browser, they can place a logo on their site to advertise they are KISS-compliant (or have a KISS-compliant alternative site/page, which the KISS browser would automatically redirect to.)
KISS wouldn't allow JS, Flash, cross-site images, and pop-ups, at least not without explicit user clicks via standardized icons (and markup) to launch them.
(And clean up the stupid CSS "float" model so that we don't have to use tables or JS to get decent columns that also are also mobile-friendly.)
So implement non-standard markup and ignore other standards? Sounds like you want AMP
Why, if every browser maker and/or web developer did what I want then everyone would be happy. However, I won't actually do any of that, lest I be proven wrong. That way I can smugly act like I have all the answers.
Trump will continue to convince the populous that everything is great and going according to plan (think Iraqi Information Minister). If concrete information about something not going well comes out that isn't handwaved away as "fake-news" , then it's all Obama's fault.
Slashdot Mirror
This seems like a lot of 'new ideas', though.
It uses the same rendering engine as Opera and Chrome, Blink.
Beep Boop +5 Insightful
Micro$oft did a thing! It's a thing we asked for previously, but it's still bad because it's M$!
So I should have access to the data in any document made with FOSS??

So all Apple/Google did was pull apps that are essentially useless because they wouldn't be able to communicate with the servers to pull data anyway?
I would imagine both their apps and the website pull the data from no Russian servers. So is linkedin.com blocked in Russia?

Microsoft article? Micro$oft Bad! +5 Insightful
So we live in an age where the only acceptable stories that can be reported in the media are negative ones?
No, that's not true at all....
It doesn't matter if it's positive or negative.
You do know for that to happen, the ball is in Apple's court, not Microsoft's, right?
Why don't you just mug the UPS/FedEx/etc delivery person?
They are already on the ground and you only need to threaten them with a weapon, not actually use it.
Why not? These Galaxys should be far, far away from us.
${BadThing} only happens to other people, not me.
Is there really though?

There's also the issue of CDNs.
...and that application will only run on Windows, or maybe iOS.
This is Slashdot, literally everything is bad. Even when things are done that we complained were not done in a different article.

It's kind of like the concept behind Underwriter's Laboratories.

I'm not sure what's worse, that you didn't even read TFS which even talked about a new blank page, or that you got modded +5 Insightful for it.
Trump will continue to convince the populous that everything is great and going according to plan (think Iraqi Information Minister).

So, instead, a minority of the population should be able to tell everyone else how to live?
No, that seems like a bad outcome, too. More and more, I'm thinking the best compromise is more states' rights, and a more limited federal government.
But how would that decide the President?
