And I'm not paying to watch their fucking commercials.
So sick of ads. I/////PAY//// for the service. I do not want your ads.
The only appropriate time to advertise your products is when I'm looking for things to buy. Like if I'm searching on google, or amazon. Local flyers are fine as well.
Consumers: Not that interested to see it, even in theater. Too pricey, maybe might watch it on dvd, at friends house. Rather go out for dinner and a beer for 20$. Free? I guess I'm not doing anything tonight, suppose I'll watch it.
Hollywood version: OH MAN I WOULD TOTALLY GIVE THEM ALL MY MONEY ALL THE TIME BUT I CAN GET IT FOR FREE SO I WONT BUT IF I CANT GET IT FOR FREE I WILL TOTALLY GIVE THEM ALL MY MONEY ALL THE TIME THEY ARE SUPER AWESOME AND DESERVE ALL MY MONEY.
They bank on people not knowing if the movie is worth paying for in the first place. Like some game developers, they get mad at pirates or first buyers because if the game is shitty, they let people know, instead of suckering you into paying for it first and then it being too bad.
As for video games, pirates are also the biggest spenders on games. Studies have shown that, and it's because they're also their biggest fans, if they enjoy the game, they want to support the developers and have an official copy.
You go to the movie theater for the experience. Now the ticket prices themselves aren't too bad, but they charge 7 fucking dollars for POPCORN.
Your movie profits are being wrecked by greedy cinema's charging too much for "the experience" which typically is popcorn, a drink and the movie. suddenly to watch a movie it's 25-30$ instead of 12-15 which is the ticket itself. A couple / two people? Now it's 50-60$
I'd have way more friend with a friend each buying dinner for 12-15$ and then another 15$ in drinks that night than most movies.
Like so many other people you attempt to go out of the boundaries of what was said to somehow make it incorrect or that you are right.
I already said in no way excuse what was done or think that persecution should be avoided (By stating in response I don't contest the persecution attempts on these individuals). Do you want me to repeat that line for you ten times so that it's clear? I never said it affected this particular case. What I/did/ say was that I hope this case doesn't affect other cases. The part where I said I wasn't contesting these specific individuals in response to the attempts of the law to persecute them?
You sure you don't want me to repeat it ten times? I feel like I probably need too.
You're almost a politician with what you said. I clearly stated it's possible to tell when an act is very far from any reasonable line. My concern was a slow inching of the reasonable line until that act that previously would had been clearly unreasonable, doesn't have such a gap so it is no longer "far from any reasonable line"
I'm in no way contesting these specific individuals, but if you pay attention to how law works, every time something occurs, it will be referred to in future rulings to convince the judge to rule in favor of a party.
Hypothetically it could be then "Well, this site has content that can cause seizures and it showed up on my news feed or on an advertisement, and in case X where someone submitted content to another user that can cause seizures their information was revealed etc etc."
The problem doesn't become the spirit of the ruling, it becomes the letters of the law. More simplified. Original issue..
"Party A maliciously sent multiple damaging images to party B" Case successful. "Party A maliciously sent one damaging image to party B" Well, see the ruling in case one, the judge decided in favor. Judge influenced, case successful. "Party A sent multiple damaging images to party B, and should have been aware it could cause harm" Well, see the ruling for case one and two where this content was sent to people and caused seizures. Judge agrees, case successful. "Party A sent....
Until you get down to "Party A publicly submitted content that they knew would be viewed by many viewers, some who may have conditions to cause seizures and should have been aware of it and is responsible since it's a public medium" If the next case was the final case, and the only had case 1 to reference, it'd like be called bullshit. But as each case morphs slightly, it makes the legal gap smaller and smaller until you can nail someone for a flashing ad.
Mind you I hate flashing ads, and it's not even medically threatening to me, but you get the point. It can eventually be converted out of the original pretext and used and abused.
That makes sense but effort and time consuming for everyone to uo verify and update content appropriately.
You'll just end up with another screen like any EULA that states how they are not responsible for etc etc which may or may not be on this site. Every site will have it just to cover themselves, and only a few sites won't have warnings about seizures etc so ideally you'd know those are safe..but yeah overall I don't think it would play out the way people would want it to if they asked for seizure warning click-throughs.
There are videos that have seizure potentially causing images and what not and a lot of the time they do warn you.
Yeah what the person responsible did was intentional harm, and I fully believe charges should be placed for it.
However, the bigger question comes, will this lead to the path of having any animation that can induce seizures anywhere online become legally liable?
It's always a problem, the first part makes sense, what it lets people do after is concerning. It's like schools, a child may have a peanut allergy, henceforth peanuts are completely banned from a school distract. I understand if a child within that school itself has an allergy to ban it from that school, but they'll blanket an entire distract with it flat out. More and more this world seems to be pushing towards the needs of the one out weighing the needs of the many.
I hope the person responsible is persecuted, but that nothing beyond that stems from the ruling.
One of the more common ways they try to motivate the general populace for something they want.
This time it's a "For the children" give us 20$. That's their real goal. Also part of the "install applications that record what you do and reports home" information bit. You know, to uh..improve the blocking..for the children.
It's more just tiny steps to not have people outraged and add more surveillance slowly and have it become the norm.
Troll or just a dummy? E.G If I released an e-book and advertised you can download it from X-site for free, I can't turn around and sue you for copyright infringement.
If it's content they have the legal rights to, then it's not illegal to download the content they released. "Torrenting" on it's own isn't illegal and is used by many programs legit, like game updaters etc.
If the lawyers did not have the rights to it, then they were encouraging other people to commit illegal actions, in which case themselves did so, and like they charge a pirate in general saying 'The song you downloaded, you uploaded to 1300 people, you have to pay $ x 13000 now" then I say since they uploaded it, they can pay for each person that it was uploaded to themselves. Should be a nice fine for them.
That means they made a choice to distrubute it. No one illegal obtained it, they flat out shared it. They were the source of the content.
That means each person they did this too they owe the money back to the person who torrented the file, and if the lawyers violated the copyright holders copyright, they have to pay for each time the file was uploaded to another user through their torrent.
Cheap PSU's is one thing but it'll just be a money grab overall.
Instead of trying to sell us on better power efficiency in hardware besides PSU's, like CPU's with power saving features, it'll be mandatory. What they'll do it then say "Due to the cost to implement these features, we have to increase price" and it'll be safe for them to do it since everyone has to add these functions and can't undercut them, so its not going to end well for the consumer, it never does.
Step 1. Don't use windows 10. Step 2. Updated what I found I needed before cumulative updates started. Step 3. Secured my system and TURNED THE FUCK OFF automated updates.
Or when something against the agenda of the politcally party happens your ethernet connection switches to special power saving mode since many people in the area are going online at once taking way more power and it needs to save it, making your internet slow and almost unusable so you can't spread what's going on in social media.
All devices I've purchased have energy start compliance and saving features. Due to the annoyance of some features I have to disable them.
Like power saving brightness settings that adapt to the room lighting. Because I have to keep fucking with the brightness from what the TV perceives as light level in the room. E.G Window shining light into the room but not directly on the TV so it dims but overall room brightness is much higher.
Plus the time it took to get the right color and brightness / contrast I wanted. My computer is also high performance, and I used to notice significantly if a primary HDD powered down. It was a real pain. I have an SSD now and my storage drive I let spin down, but if they are nit picky on it, some content and programs cache significantly, which would let the HDD power down and it would drive me nuts getting lag spikes each time it spins up.
So I obviously adjust the power down time. I also notice the lag when the processor clocks down when it thinks it can, but it was wrong and clocks back up. I don't like stutter. If I'm playing a game it's a death. So I don't let my CPU clock down most of the time. Occasionally I adjust the power settings when I know I won't be doing anything intensive for days, and do shut my PC down when not in use.
But what else? Auto suspend? I mean that shit is annoying. It's been 20+ years and we still can't go to standby and back safely all the time depending on what programs are in use.
I will shit bricks if they expect me to pay the same amount for stuttering shitty low power / power saving hardware. They can fuck off I won't buy it.
Obviously even if you're paid a lot, flipping burgers at mcdonalds isn't going to make you happy even at high wages as other jobs would, but there is a minimum.
Your basic needs and some extras need to be covered without stress of running out of money. 1. Home you enjoy living in 2. Food of your choice 3. Vehicle in good shape 4. Money for vacation and entertainment
etc etc.
If you can't afford those things,then you'll be less satisfied with your job.
Let's say salary can have a minor impact in improving job satisfaction from the base satisfaction of the job itself, however salary can have a significant impact in lowering job satisfaction from the base level.
If you gave a job a 6/10 for work satisfaction but the wages were low so you were struggling each month to make ends meet, you might rate the job a 4/10 or such. If the wages were way more than you needed, you might still give it a 6/10 or 7/10.
Plus their studies probably all related to higher paying jobs in the first place. "Oh I see, you're a surgeon, and you're roughly just as satisfied as this surgeon who makes more / less than you. Hmm interesting...both the same level of satisfied with their luxury home and yacht..alight..seems salary isn't that important"
But those items are actually getting cheaper production wise and individually the prices are quite inflated.
Large fast food chains also have significant influence in the food production industry and manipulate prices so that you get a better "deal" by eating at the fast food places. In addition, fresh real food vs processed flash frozen stored product. You go to the grocery store and purchase fresh hamburger. It's not the same product that is being sold in a fast food place.
Far more expensive? Like what? That coke you got with your meal that's 3$ on it's own? For the 1 cent cola? Prices in fast food are going up in Canada at least. You could buy a burger for 1.35-1.50, it's now up to 2.00$. They'll keep pushing, get some resistance, back off, once people get used to it, up it again.
I think automation is the way to go, absolutely, if we can create technology to work for us, then we don't have to work, and more time to play and follow our own interests. This is a good thing for society. Humans shouldn't have to work if they don't need to, as a society on the whole.
The problem is as they stop paying workers, that areas economy decreases as they are sucking money out of it into share holders / people outside of that local community.
It's like mining etc. They're going to suck as much money out of an area until it's dead then move to somewhere else, and we need to do something to stop it. Local business are good, international ones suck money out of your area and leave it high and dry.
Yes, they get taxed, but if you have to pay 30,000$ per work which is mostly money in that community, vs the taxes on that worker of a fraction of it, a lot of money is leaving your community that they're taking in the form of sales.
It'll only get cheaper for those getting the profits. Unless a competitor comes in using cheap technology to undercut them, it's just more money in their pocket.
No business person ever lowered prices when their cost was lowered except if a competitor requires them to / they'll make more money by more sales.
Yep. You have your HDMI cords for approved content, with your approved OS, and your approved websites, your approved ads, and your approved applications.
The problem is no one can be trusted really, I mean, in theory it sounds great, but who decides an application gets approved? We all know that applications will eventually be denied because they compete with a service they want you to pay for, and they'll (if caught) say oh it was a miscommunication we identified a problem with the app that needed to be corrected but we're definitely releasing this now as it's safe.
When really it was "Shit, if that releases right now it'll hurt our profits"
Yep, so what they do is use temp foreign worker programs to bring in cheap labor from somewhere way worse than here who doesn't say fuck you and just does the dirty work.
Even though their wages, and culture are crap and that's why no one wants to work there they believe they're entitled to stay the same and somehow get workers still, so TFW. When really it should be 'Change your shit or close up shop' Then other businesses would get more traffic which would allow them to keep competitive wages instead of crying so hard that they'd have to increase prices since sales would go up with less competition.
They're not really being open source, I mean in spirit I don't believe so.
What it is, is the crap they're pulling on windows is pissing off a lot of people. People are getting sick of it, and it's showing as anyone more technically inclined if they are able to for software reasons are drop microsoft like a bad habbit. Turning off updates, refusing to switch to windows 10 etc.
So they need to attack the opposition and alternatives, so that you can't except their datamining traffic system that they use to sell your personal data. If they can get everything integrated with windows so people find it more useful, everything in one place, to eventually start to promote the windows with linux to reduce usage of pure linux or to influence it's development to include parts of windows into linux distros so they can keep their greasy hands in everything.
It's the same strategy as anything else. Like all the telco companies in Canada. They snuff out any competition that is small enough or disrupts their price fixing, then all set their prices to roughly the same with the same service that's overpriced, so you have no alternative and it's a non issue.
If another company crops up that provides a better alternative they'll work hard to shut them down so they can keep being greedy.with overpriced services and tactics that invade your privacy.
Sure racism is real, but you're following the typical ignorant self centered non white agenda that white people don't get discriminated against.
It happens to regular folk, I've had slurs thrown at me from other 'non-white' folks over my whiteness. I think it's an issue, but I don't believe by being a racist bigot you're going to stop other people from being a racist bigot.
Children aren't born racist bigots, racism is taught. The more you treat regular non-bigoted people as the scum of the earth and call them bigots, you're going to promote more racism. E.G Stay away from X race because they'll treat me like shit and say I'm a racist bigot if I don't 100% agree with everything they say. Congratulations, more racism is born.
It's like everyone looked at bill gates and saw a white dude with a ton of money so clearly every white dude is living the life and it's not balanced.
Did you know that more white people are killed by police than black people? No of course not, that doesn't fit the self interested group agenda. Eyes wide shut.
Did you know that BLM is against body cams on police? That's odd, because complaints against police and behavior dramatically improved for forces using body cameras.
Racism is real, but what you're seeing in the news is special interest group agenda grab for powers. If the average human being in the US is a decent person regardless of race, then 50% of them are less decent than that, stop pretending like your skin color makes what you say not racist or otherwise.
Tired of seeing kill all whites. Sure there are racist people, but fuck, did all of Canada, Sweden, Russia etc all discriminate against you? No it's not possible, so if you're branding all white people in anyway, you're being a racist bigot. Stop being a racist bigot you racist bigots.

If you can't afford those things,then you'll be less satisfied with your job.

If they can get everything integrated with windows so people find it more useful, everything in one place, to eventually start to promote the windows with linux to reduce usage of pure linux or to influence it's development to include parts of windows into linux distros so they can keep their greasy hands in everything.
It's the same strategy as anything else. Like all the telco companies in Canada. They snuff out any competition that is small enough or disrupts their price fixing, then all set their prices to roughly the same with the same service that's overpriced, so you have no alternative and it's a non issue.
If another company crops up that provides a better alternative they'll work hard to shut them down so they can keep being greedy.with overpriced services and tactics that invade your privacy.
Sure racism is real, but you're following the typical ignorant self centered non white agenda that white people don't get discriminated against.
It happens to regular folk, I've had slurs thrown at me from other 'non-white' folks over my whiteness. I think it's an issue, but I don't believe by being a racist bigot you're going to stop other people from being a racist bigot.
Children aren't born racist bigots, racism is taught. The more you treat regular non-bigoted people as the scum of the earth and call them bigots, you're going to promote more racism. E.G Stay away from X race because they'll treat me like shit and say I'm a racist bigot if I don't 100% agree with everything they say. Congratulations, more racism is born.
It's like everyone looked at bill gates and saw a white dude with a ton of money so clearly every white dude is living the life and it's not balanced.
Did you know that more white people are killed by police than black people? No of course not, that doesn't fit the self interested group agenda.
Eyes wide shut.
Did you know that BLM is against body cams on police? That's odd, because complaints against police and behavior dramatically improved for forces using body cameras.
Racism is real, but what you're seeing in the news is special interest group agenda grab for powers. If the average human being in the US is a decent person regardless of race, then 50% of them are less decent than that, stop pretending like your skin color makes what you say not racist or otherwise.
Tired of seeing kill all whites. Sure there are racist people, but fuck, did all of Canada, Sweden, Russia etc all discriminate against you? No it's not possible, so if you're branding all white people in anyway, you're being a racist bigot. Stop being a racist bigot you racist bigots.
