I think that pretty much sums it up. Different people get their news in different ways and most of us don't see a need a "parse news from across the web".
Slashdot, Hack a Day, a half dozen webcomics. RSS is superfluous for that.
As long as vegetarians and vegans are excluded from your meat-eater lottery, I think it's a great idea. Either you stop eating meat now or you may become meat yourself.
I don't know about the others, but if you follow Apple's hardware releases, there is a simple reason their sales are down.
- Four years since they barely updated the MacBook Air. Very old tech at today's prices. A minuscule CPU speed bump does not equal an update.
- Four years since they updated the Mac mini. Very old tech at today's prices. Can't even upgrade the RAM anymore. A downgrade from the 2012 models, so six years since the last real update.
- Three updates to a useless no-travel low profile keyboard that nobody asked for. This is the primary input method for a laptop and it got butchered because their industrial designer wanted to make the laptop one millimetre thinner. Also, they removed the function keys including the escape key for a stupid and expensive touch bar that, again, nobody asked for.
- Mac Pro trash that nobody asked for. Real pros are asking Apple to bring back the tower Mac Pro, we'll see in a few months if Apple really ditched pros to sell toy phones and tablets instead.
- Expensive Macbook that doesn't have enough ports to be of any use, ditched USB type A ports about five years too early. Very expensive for a low-power CPU.
After all that bullshit, I hope nobody at Apple is questioning why Mac sales are down.
Also, even if I had a phone with data service, I wouldn't go biking with it. The risk of it dropping, the weight, etc. Too risky for an expensive device.
Slashdot Mirror
First of all, "--" should be a long dash.
Secondly, the sentence is supposed to still make sense when you remove everything between the two dashes.
"After spending two days at LEAPcon, I feel it is my duty [...] to inform you that it is not."
That's how the sentence is written and wonkey_monkey is right to complain.
How about "I'm not a fucking idiot so I never signed up for Facebook in the first place"?
I don't claim any relief from that, merely a huge sense of moral superiority every time one of these stories pops up.
I thought Australia was colonized by 164000 convicts because they wanted to get away from the authorities?
Either everyone is secure, or nobody is.
I never said nobody uses it. I'm using Firefox's own statistics here.

And cue the comments from the other 99.99% of users: I've never used RSS in my life.
You spelled "negativity" wrong...
Your Dogecoins will always be okay. The trade ratio of one Dogecoin to one Dogecoin is rock-solid.

Japan is still working on their "Godzilla" solution.

This is shocking news indeed.
This guy understands.
Also, even if I had a phone with data service, I wouldn't go biking with it. The risk of it dropping, the weight, etc. Too risky for an expensive device.
That's why they keep saying "Stop pirating! Think of our poor artists!"
Let me load YouTube on my cheap clip-on MP3 player... oh wait, that doesn't work.
1. You think AAC is proprietary to Apple?
2. In case you were referring to DRM, Apple stopped selling DRM'ed music in march 2009 in the U.S.A.
3. Music encoded with AAC at 256kbps is lower quality than a lossless track, sure, but it is far from low quality.
You have the right to dislike Apple or even hate them with a passion. But at least get your facts straight when talking about them.
The music you want is not available as a CD on Amazon/etc?
Profits from paid-every-month streaming surpassed profits from paid-to-own purchases a while back. So it's not just kids.
For me, it makes sense to rent movies and TV shows. Music, not so much.
The day Apple stops selling music is the day I switch to Amazon.
The A.I. doesn't care about being politically correct.
Maybe the A.I. has computed something we're not aware of.
Unfortunately, people will force political correctness into the A.I. and we'll never learn the truth. /sarcasm (or is it?)
Is this 1998?
It's a trap!
It's not the same guy at the top. Microsoft is changing.
The same thing has been happening to Apple since Tim Cook took over, but not in a good way.
"(insert any existing patent here) on the Internet".
The pilot, of course. It's right in the title!
