Reminds me when I went top school. It was an hour on a bike, an hour by bus and an hour by car.
I also had to be at home at 18:00 and no excuse that I did not have a watch.
And after I came back from school I styyill played outside, regardless of the weather. Yes, I did come home often with some bloody knee or the like. Yes I broke some things on my body while doing that. Trying to hide a broken toe because you jumped out of a window did not work as well as I would think.
And now I live in a time when they want to block any and all traffic near schools. I say: fuck it and let Darwin sort it out. In only a few hundred generations, we will have superfast kids that can avoid all dangerous situation. And if you do not beleiev in Darwin: well it is God's will after all.
Voting with your wallet only works if there are alternatives and if it would actually change anything.
e.g. if there is a big, huge outcry because a company does something that the general public does not want (e.g. child labour, appartheid,...) then it might work and change policies. If you, as an individual do it, they do not care.
So what if they do not have a few thousand customers that are not buying their stuff. There are enough who do. The other companiessee this and do the same.
The fact that I do NOT want to change the bootloader does not mean I do not want the right to do so.
I use XFCE, because each time you run GNOME, they kill a kitten and each time you run KDE they kill a puppy. Fact!
Seriosuly. I remember the time I was able to run anything I liked and not have everything installed twice. It should not matter if I runKDE, Gnome, XFCE, Whatever programs on any desktop I desire. The reason I use XFCE is becuase it needs the least of tweaking to get it how I like it the most (although still not perfect)
You used to have different programs for different things. Now you have a kernel, that tries to do everything, running a bootloader, that tries to do everything, so I can launch a desktop launcher that tries to do everything, so I can see a desktop, that tries to do everything, so I can run a browser, that tries to do everything to visit a webpage that tries to do everything.
1 computer and/or 1 tv. Not 1.000 computers en/or 1.000 tvs. And even then it will not be 24/7.
This is not about somebody running a PC fulltime. This is about people who has servers running and a lot of them.
Car example. If you transport a jerrycan of extra fuel: not an issue. If you desire to drive around 1.000 jerrycans of fuel all the time: it is an issue.
Who thinks what is popular is obviously Google. When I look for the music section, I see who they say is popular. With the direct marketing tools they use, they even can tell me what I would like and by pure coincidence this is identical from what is popular.
If Twitter blocks any follower of Trump, then it is most likely dicrimination because of political views. Just because they are a privato company does not mean they can do whatever they like. That would be like refusing to make a cake for a gay wedding.
It is indeed something that is a lot bigger. Especially hwo things are now. You have 400 working hours for 10 people. You get a robot to reduce workload 50% Instead of having people work 20 hours per week instead of 40, 5 people will be fired, so they have no income. The others have the same income and the one at the top will get the extra income normally for the 5 others.
Well, in reality they will fire at lkeast 1 more to pay for the machine and then ask the 4 others to work 25% for free to cover the one they fired as an extra.
I like how you offered a better solution. Oh wait, you didn't. Please come back with a better solution that will benefit the people and not the companies.
I would rather have a new story altogether. Of all the movies I liked Rogue One the best. Story was a bit flaky. I would call it a high quality B-movie. It started with the beginning where they have these flying things and park them at the other side of the universe and walk the rest. And then the thing they need to access outside at the top of a building. Seriously? And still I think it was the best of all of them.
But then if I want a good story, I would read "I am Legend" and not watch it. (Because, fuck, they raped the story.)
OTOH I am still waiting for "Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season", because that looked promising. (I liked the first one where his friend is chatting up a girl and he walk away with it and everybody thought the third guy was a douche. How do you like THEM apples.)
I also filter out 100% of the spam mails. I am even close to 160% depending on how many spam I get. I just point everything to/dev/null in.procmailrc .
The reason is because that way they sell more phones in the long run. Why? You buy a phone and it gets you through the day and a bit. Batteries go bad. That is a given. They do not hold their charge as good. So at a certain moment you do not get a day and a bit, but a day. Next you get the period you are awake and recharge when you are sleeping. At some point you will either be charging a lot or you buy a new phone. Now YOU might not do that. The majority of people will. When you sell a shitload of phones, having people buy a new phone sooner means s shitload of extra money.
It would not be that hard to make a phone the size and battery capacity of a power bank that lasts you several days.
Not being able to replace the battery is just part of it.
In Belgium you also need to register the SIM card. This was done after the Brussels Airport bombs and the fact that they found a lot of burned phones with the terrorists.
Since the moment they raped DejaNews.com it was clear that they never listen to the users. We are not their customer, so why should they. And looking at the amount of money and power they have, why should they?
When the revolution comes, I bet they will be the first against the wall
The tecomendations have shown things I have already seen for a long time. It is like on Amazon where they let me know I might be interested in the same item that I just bought.
I use RSS to get thenewest content from the chanels I subscribed to. My guess as towhyyou need to click the bell is that they want to show you content THEY want you to see, not what YOU eant to see.
In Belgium the police people, their officers, their cief, their commissioner, the minister above it and several others would see at least the end of their carreer besides the manslaughter and murder thing. Would not be the first time.

First they came for the Apple Phone, but I did not have an Apple phone. ...
Then they came for the Huaweii, but I do not own such a phone either
If Samsumg sees that this works and is legal, you can bet your famnilies phones that they (and others) will start to do the same.

The best filemanager is still 'mc'. Works in KDE, Gnome, XFCE, CLI, Windowmaker, Enlightenment and whatever else you want to run it on.

Third party only is not enough. With the "Winner takes all" you will end up with a two party system no matter what.
There are other and better solutions.

In the next movie after that, we see that that was all a dream.

Self driving cars will be a lot safer. This was a self driving car as much as Uber is not a taxi company.
FTFY
Especially not that person. He might not be telling the truth.
So this is the first time that Trump was stern, calm and diplomatic? And I mean the first time in his life.

It is not groupthink as much as it is serving their customers. They are a marketing company.

Would not be the first time.
