theaters. Minus the age restriction and free snacks this is exactly what some of the big theater chains are doing to try to get people to come back to the movies.
The AMC near me just ripped out all of their seats and put in leather recliners with enough leg room that people can walk by without you having to stand up (or so says the wife, I haven't been yet). Unfortunately they can't control the kids on their fucking phones and rude dumb fucks talking.
I remember what it was like to go to the theater and actually be engaged by the movie and not the other assholes in the room. I feel bad for people too young to know what that magic is like.
For example, I don't and have never had a Facebook account but it's a well known fact they have dark profiles and my wife uploads pictures with me in them to Facebook without my consent as do other family members.
You don't sound like you're living in the woods, off the grid, in a cabin with your gruel and wood burning stove so chances are SOMEONE has a picture of you online SOMEWHERE without your knowledge.
Well, for one thing, because they could probably take out a row of machines in a computer lab before a teacher would even notice?
It's far more subtle than just throwing a laptop on the floor and jumping on it (or 8... yes, this happened, no, the parents didn't pay a cent and the kid left the district without consequence).
but the old one has tons of youtube videos of killing shit and as someone who works K-12 this kind of thing has managers pissing their pants in fear of kids with them.
especially when the law says they're beholden first to their profit making for shareholder value. I've also read in several places including a book about socio/psychopaths that they're more like 1 in 10 not 1 in 100.
This is part of the long slow march back to locked down shitty platforms and completely closed hardware. This is the phone/appliance-ification of your shit.
People don't understand the freedoms they're losing. By the time they realize it it will be far too late (it pretty much already is at this point). Even the term "walled garden" doesn't make it sound as bad as it is.
What really gets to me is it takes talented, highly educated people in niche fields to create this shit and they're selling out hardcore to some of the worst evils imaginable and giving no fucks (the over arching cultural imperative, at least in America, of "I got mines").
It's a shame there aren't more RMS style zealots; maybe even some with billions of dollars to throw at preserving and perpetuating freedom.
Now You: What's your take on the death of Cyberfox?
Who cares? I have used Firefox a very long time (Netscape Gold anyone?) and never heard of this.
Firefox has the plug-ins and configuration options I want (like turning off the malware that is Web RTC and bullshit like pocket).
I'm not going anywhere and (even IT) people are consistently amazed when I show them a website they're used to being spammed mercilessly on without the ads.
Your system sounds cool. What happens if you get hit by a meteor on your way to work tomorrow?
That's probably why they're paying through the nose. I don't know jack shit about SAP and I work in the public sector but that part is likely the reason.
than see anyone's own biometrics used against them this way. This is fucking vile. I hope it goes to the supreme court - not that it will make any difference soon.
Do you really think anything will happen no matter what they do at this point? The FCC laid down before he was even officially in office. That lets you know where this is going. Expect the death net neutrality and more bullshit like this very soon.
the groupthink is a problem on all of these comment voting platforms. It literally means mob rule. At least here it's a little harder since you need multiple people with mod points to shit on something you disagree with that much,

or they'd be asking for a lot more money. But I hope they do it. Apple fan boy tears are the best tears. Burn that walled garden :)

Pet rocks are/were pointless too. The question is will saying "We're not liable for whatever you do with this!!" stand up in court...

continues unabated.
to avoid the legal liability for inevitable insane, evil things that come out of having your sole legal obligation being the pursuit of profits.

2044. Simply make (private sector) corporations publish ALL of their employee salaries publicly.
Public sector places already largely do this. It works pretty well.
People get pissed off when they see someone with the same job title and experience making more money than them.
but if I hadn't, they'd have been welcome to pay what I owed.

I've never heard of a "service worker union". Could definitely use more.

It's *always* been that way. Always. Some places are probably worse than others which might have to do with what you're asking and where...
it was called Netscape. Typing it this on 51.0.3 right now. Add-ons are what make it great and always my first choice.
"Normal" people I show the adblocking to including playing youtube videos without commercials are usually amazed.
Fuck Chrome. It hasn't even been a week since the last bullshit Google-lets-you-know-who-is-really-in-charge change to their spyware
for the moment. My percentage of games that will run under Linux is (very) slowly but steadily increasing.

not technical. Both wars are probably already lost.
ads couldn't be any fucking worse...
I've seen that too. Some have 2nd jobs because they have no choice.
