People paywall themselves by buying into the Google or Apple or Facebook ecosystem. The rest of the Net is still out there and working just fine, even if most people aren't using it.
What is so great about Windows phone that is missing from Android/iOS?
It looks very good. It's easy to find things. The home screen shows all kinds of information at a glance. Most part of the phone look and act the same (email, phone, messaging, calendaring, etc.) It's just a very good UI, all over.
I just picked up an Android phone this weekend to see if it was usable for me, and I'm shocked that the current version of Android still has a truly terrible interface. It's so bad, that I'm going to continue using my Windows Phone until it physically breaks. Is there a reason that Android (and iOS) have to have interfaces that are from 1995? Am I missing something? All of the Android phones that I've seen all have the identical interface.
If you asked the average person today, would they prefer to spend more to get a better laptop, or more to get a better phone - which do you think they would choose?
It is decentralized. It always has been. Anybody can put up a web site/page/server on any device. People may call it decentralized, because all they use it Facebook/Google/Amazon/Twitter all day, but that doesn't mean the Web is still not out there.
That's not mere convenience. It's musical wealth, for cheap.
A long, long time ago, Slashdot posters used to care about privacy. Now, privacy isn't even a consideration, so long as you can get your stuff for "cheap". I hope it's worth it to y'all.
Keep renting, good little Spotify/Google/Amazon drones! Keep renting! You must contribute to the Mothership's recurring revenue! Ownership is bad. Renting is good! Convenience is more valuable than anything!
I would imagine that Nestle knows exactly where their supplies come from. They probably have a list of approved farms, and rules that those farms are required to follow. They're not buying random supplies from some unknown vendors. That would be a massive liability for them.
If you can't trust your suppliers, then you shouldn't be manufacturing anything. They're not buying their supplies off of Amazon like stupid individuals. They're entering into massive, long-term financial relationships with other companies.

Absolutely. I use cash.

I keep being amazed by people that use Facebook.
If you're using a smart phone, chances are, you already don't care about privacy.

The average person is a fucking moron.
"Quit teaching all humanities" is your POV, because you're upset about something? Wow. That's nutty. Perhaps you need to study some humanities.

Nobody owns the web. It's still very much decentralized.
I have no idea what video games has to do with anything.
That's sad.
Yes, only crazy people want to not have a company monitor everything they do. You're right.
You wouldn't give up any more if you bought a CD from a store with a credit card.
A. I use cash, as should everybody who doesn't want to give 3% of their income to Visa/Mastercard.
B. Bullshit. https://www.spotify.com/us/leg...
I thought Last Jedi was one of the best of the entire series. I hope they keep making more movies!

a $10/month subscription ...
... is actually a LOT cheaper
in addition to all of your personal information.
Is it?
Or I can pay a small fee and not worry about any of that. I choose the later. You can choose whatever works best for you.
Agreed, but it's so much more than a "small fee" you're paying. You're also giving up 100% of your personal information.
When you consume crap, of course it's disposable. I don't re-use toilet paper. Why should you?

There will always be shitty companies and better companies. Good companies do know their suppliers. The cheap, cut-rate ones don't.

Why would Congress close tax loopholes when they're getting paid to keep them open?
New cars regardless of mileage emit so little that I don't get why the focus is simply on that one factor.
Because the science shows that the #1 factor in climate change are cars.

Apple is selling addiction. It's not too hard to sell junkies what they're addicted to.
having to use Bing felt wrong.
Jesus, you're a good little Google addict, aren't you?
