I tried that. It's amazing how terrible I am returning or losing those dang DVDs.
Now if I want the DVD version bad enough, I just buy it off Amazon. I did the math for shows like Buffy, Babylon 5, etc and even with ripping the dvd and putting it back in the mail the same day, it still ended up costing almost as much as the boxset.
Relatively few extensions need access to all of these and few bother to ask.
An extension not asking for that access is a different story of course.
Sure but 120,000 choices? Let's keep it real. That's not choices, that's spam.
I usually don't have a say in accepting or view spam. I have never seen 120,000 extensions
Not the point. The point is that there is no reason for most of these to even exist unless a LOT of them are malware of one form or another.
It really is the point. Every wannabe or up and coming programmer can create an extension and share it. If people see a value, they can install it. That is a feature not a bug
. I don't want to be on an internet where everything is behind a paywall. Most people don't either - they bitch about them. But that's where we'll go to at some point. $50/year for 90 minutes/day for Youtube, $100/year for unlimited Google searches that return back 2 pages of results, $10/month for Facebook, $10/month for Snapchat, $10/month for whatever else.
Most of the replies ignore your very valid point. I'm not sure if it's because they don't have a response or because they didn't read beyond your first few sentences.
Heck, California recently introduced legislation that Google and other companies will have to pay residences for money these companies make using their info. Google paying people to use it's search engine.
Honestly, what amazes me is that google, facebook, etc keep funding the politicians pushing these things.
My children are black and we've been spending a lot of time this month talking about black history.
With that and all the issues going on nowadays I think it's important not to weaken that meaning and histrionically context of that word.
That said, I'm not trying to forbid you from using it, just pointing out that overuse of a word particularity in a less offensive context can reduce the impact of the word.
What extensions do you use that wouldn't require access to the whole page?
I agree that there is a ridiculous number of extensions but I'm not forced to install them. I actually like that there is a lot of choices or overlap for ad blockers, javascript blockers, etc.
I'd think that the only ones that wouldn't need access to the whole page are web apps and notification tickers. (I'm sure there are a few more but I can't think of any right now)
Slavery? Wow. You really have no idea what slavery is, do you? Slaves couldn't leave their employers and take reduced wage but with better rights somewhere else.
The Anti-Vaxers might be an easy target, but the problem is bigger than just this one issue.
Long gone are the days when actual facts where not in dispute and sources of information where vetted before being considered credible. I miss those days.
Maybe one day we can get rid of the internet and other progress made and get back to the good old days! Then you won't have to feel nostalgic anymore:)
Since adding "threats to feelings" as a type of violence and direct threat, pool of things we can sensor has really expanded.
Adding threats to social norms (unless in a protected class) should help complete the task of eliminating the unapproved diversity and misinformation on the internet.
I like the idea of releasing the bluray at the same time as theater release.
That way my downloaded copy would be better quality than the cams. I don't even try looking for new movies because of the crappy quality.
So while it helps me, not sure how much it well help reduce downloading new movies.
Pretty much the only thing that gets me to the movie theaters is flashy non-star wars scifi movie or a date. Occasionally I'll throw support at a specific genre in the hopes my ticket sale is enough to drive similar movies.

The post that was replied to said "first hand knowledge."
No. It's quiet until you take your dog for a walk which causes all the neighborhood dogs to start barking
Do you think the average person's search activity costs Google even remotely close to what they make by gathering and monetizing data about you?
I don't. Nor do I think the coffee that Starbucks makes is remotely close to their cost. That said, I'm not sure your point.
I'd love for Google to shut down today due to their intrusion into politics but not for making money from usual products

That doesn't make sense at all. Do you have an example of this - and that it only works using Linux servers?
I understand the point. But words do matter.

Why don't you compare it to rape next?

It'e almost as if they have different writers with different views.
That said, I avoid reading the verge. I don't go to a tech newsite for politics and they have a ton there.
Firefox does.
I use blokada which covers all apps and browsers (maybe not the browsers that "compress" the web pages before sending them to.)
I use this

Works great on apps and all my browsers
That would still count as an install if any activation counts. You can disable it.

It doesn't matter what they call themselves unless you believe the Nazis choosing to call themselves socialist mean they were socialists
Yeah and a European conservative is probably considered liberal or closer to the middle of the road for the US.
You don't need a lawyer for traffic tickets and only need one for a divorce if you think your spouse will contest and get their own lawyer.
They were shutting down Kodi boxes being sold that had addons already installed pointing to copyrighting material.
Even the Kodi folks were pushing for those boxes to be shut down or at least to have their trademarked name removed from the listing.
Damn it! I knew I should have filed sooner
No - you can't legally make up a charge to give yourself an excuse to investigate someone to find wrong doing.

Oh.... Like Clinton? And yes we will keep going there until they are both in jail
