Personally I think this "discrimination" stuff has gone too far. People should be able to advertise to people who are not disabled (think sport related stuff) and people should be able to advertise to a specific race or language (think the latest season of a spanish soap opera) or they should be able to advertise to an age range (think about a barbara streisand movie) or to a specific sex (what about tampons and eye pencils).
I think advertisers as whole need to address this with government so the platforms stop getting crap.
But if you cant advertise a place where dogs are not allowed to people who dont have dogs, or where a lady cant look for a female room mate, or a spanish speaking only person cant look for a spanish person... seriously, your just costing those people money, the spanish person will just deny those who dont speak spanish, and the anti dog guy will tell the dog owner the place is taken. wasting both the advertisers time and money, and the respondees time and probably money.
The more money advertisers have to spend (due to lack of targeting) the more the consumer has to pay.
This story reminds me why I make sure to pay the fee to protect my privacy before complaining about my privacy...
But yeah, it would be nice if privacy was included.
Namecheap JUST announced free privacy on all domains. No more worried about your door getting kicked in and being shot. I didn't realize privacy was useful until now, I mean "doitforsate.com" is a pretty stupid domain name and if you can get shot for that...
I have always been too picky to trust peoples images, if theres something I want to use I will build it myself and store it on my private docker repo. Building your business on something anyone can just upload or change seems dangerous. I started to wonder if extra work really made sense, apparently yes.
One of my ISP's sounded the alarm one day before elections. They were told it's a national emergency and were required to block "all social media".
All social media was ambiguous and despite efforts we never got the official communication - but whatsapp, facebook, twitter were specified as the main ones.
They also received no notification to restore services but decided to anyways when one of the major telcos did.
I see the same president still prevails so oppression still works well for raping a nation.
For any Ugandans, A simple VPN would have bypassed the blocks. I like tunnelbear for the cool pictures of bears and it's free for a limited amount of data.
Yeh, thats pretty sad, although frankly, I belive patents are given out faster than candy and if this wasnt microsoft on the other side I would feel sorry for them. I mean, look at the e-commerce issues, soon there will be a patent on peeing with your pants down. It is truly a shame.
Many people talk about doing something about the "digital divide", where third world and developing countries are fast falling far behind, most with very few computers and little or no internet access, do you forsee this ever changing or will this situation just get worse as time goes on?
LFS is brilliant, yeh, so it make take a good couple hours and maybe even give you some hassles, tho I had none, but at the end of the day it is all worth it. My LFS systems have all given me less hassles then any distro I've run, granted they take a tad longer to setup. For those of you that dont feel like enduring the proccess there is also a distro called LRs-Linux, which has a few setup options, including a LFS setup. You can find that here. There's also the automated LFS project which has a similiar affect, tho that requires an already setup installation like LFS, have a look here.
I work for an ISP that supplies connections soley via 2.4ghz, infact our entire backbone is a mixture of 2.4 and 5.8, and trust me when I say 2.4 is stubborn, it hates solid objects and water, water is evil, becuase water resinates at 2.4 aswell. Mud is semi-solid and wet, 2.4 wouldnt stand a chance.

I think the real issue is that people care about music charts.

all it needs now is some love and it'll be ready for my machine.
We pay R900 (about $140) for a 512/256 dsl package with a monthly limit of 3gb, so everyone else can stop complaining now.

MS sell things things at a big loss im told, so we should all do the world a favour and buy as many as possible and use them for paperweights.
Come to South Africa and watch a "digital divide" television advert relating to poorer african countries. The world is bigger than the USA you know.
Very very good question, we could deffinately do with an opinion on this.
