if it is a really good app that i want and use a lot, i will pay for it, name the price, i dont expect it to be free, but dont gouge me or i will drop it like a hot potato
put a feature in the google play app so i can block all apps that display advertising no matter where they are displayed, i rather not use an app if it has advertising, or spend a few dollars on a good quality app that does not have any adds, and since google play cards can be bought almost anywhere that makes it even easier for everyone to buy a paid app that does not have advertising
put all the code in there and link it to the associated github accounts, providing the code is 100% identical it should work, but they must consider forks and even one line of code in one file will make a lot of difference in the compiled software
the government should enforce net neutrality to prevent corporate pirates, predators and vultures from dominating it just because they have the most money and power and influence over the infrastructure,
then he can surf the internets and download with a 56k modem
remember those???, it would take a full minute for a website like slashdot to load 15 years ago, today the new version would probably take 5 minutes on a 56k
since Trump took office how the govt has been reconfigured to be lackys for the corporate vulture capitalists, and that dirty snake in the grass Soros spammed the FCC trying to act like he is for the little people when he is just another rich pig like trump, Soros basically destroyed any chance the little people had by filling the FCC inboxes with bot spam,
what if they kill off good stuff like ad blocker plugins for your browser, they kill off internet forums that allow free speech, they might even kill off linux & bsd and your only choice is ms-windows or apple's osx or android, and there is an american version of the great wall of china firewall so the only websites you can visit or spammy websites that want to sell you something at every turn, and the giant online retailers, it will kill the internet or cripple it,
we will build our own internet, we dont need you telling us how to surf the internet anyway, as far as i am concerned this is federal government overreach and the FCC needs to go find something else to do
then i wont use their service until they get a decent living wage, either that or if i have no choice to use them then i will give them a nice fat tip, maybe a 20 dollar tip if they bring me my 100 dollars worth of groceries in good condition, i cant condone employees making less than a living wage, i want them to be paid fairly
shut down facebook, close their offices, and fire all the employees, confiscate all their computers and pull and shred all the harddrives, put up a server with the facebook domain with a page that says "facebook is closed, now go outside and get some fresh air and exercise"
guess what, trees are made out of carbon so when they die all the carbon they absorbed gets released back in to the environment, unless you cut them all down before they die and make lumber or paper or some other product out of them
with browsers, or Linux distros, just look at the top 5 distros at distrowatch, that top #1 spot is highly contended for and competition for it is fierce, ubuntu was on there for a long time, and finally got bumped down by Mint and Debian which is the grand-daddy of both distros is #1 and ubuntu has fallen to #4, and once something loses that #1 spot it is hard to get back to the top
your point has a point, that is very pointed, i agree, a parent with an active or over-active or especially a hyperactive kid would find a use for an electronic gadget that lets the parent track them maybe if it sent a ping with a GPS coordinate every 30 seconds or every minute and the parent can track the kid by a PC, tablet or smartphone that would be nice especially overlayed on google maps and accurate within just a few feet
who wants an "always listening" microphone connected to a for-profit corporation sitting on their desk listening to EVERYTHING, every idle thought spoken out loud, every private conversation between two people be it, spouses, lovers, friends, business partners, siblings, etc.. all to be commoditized and used to advertise to you or sold to who knows what
fuck that, amazon, google and microsoft can go to hell because i refuse to consent to that
there is no way in hell would i stand in line for hours in front of a store, and then navigate my way through a crowd of people to get a product only to save a little bit on it, that is the definition of both insanity & stupidity, it sounds like a good way to become a victim of violence of catching a contagious disease or virus, no thank you, dont want it
if you think the USA is all good and benevolent and honest then you are part of the problem because the USA has been meddling in politics in both the USA and worldwide for over a century
i am a binge reader, i might find a topic that really grabs my interest and i will read everything i can about it, or an author i like and i will read as many books as i can that they have and when that is over i am done reading for a while, until the next urge to read something pops up,
