The US is, as a matter of fact, and never has been, a democracy. It has always been a representative republic. Direct democracy as your comment envisions it is very difficult to implement and results in mob rule. If this is something you strongly believe should be stopped, get in touch with your federal senator and congressional representative to make your views known. Call, email, write paper letters, and encourage others to do the same. Make it clear that they won’t be reelected if they allow this to continue. We don’t have lobbying money, but it’s hard to keep taking bribes if they no longer have a position with which to provide a return on that investment.

Not so sure about that. It’s one of the hardest failures so far. It’ll probably make lists including Atari’s ET and the Ouya for quite a while.

I feel like in this case it’s more like everyone gets sold i9 hardware, but can choose to pay the i3 price for it with locked out features, then decide later to pay the subscription to unlock the i7 or i9 performance. It has advantages for the manufacturer in that there are fewer options to account for at build time and additional revenue later on. I still think it’s a terrible model that should be summarily rejected by customers, but I see why they are trying it.

I use the pre-ground medium roast in a white bag. 2lb to 2 gallons of water, brew 24 hours. It makes a strong concentrate that can be cut with water or ice for iced coffee or used as espresso in cold drinks.

It is real.

They chose to comply with the request and become one of the browsers Putin can control. Not sure how Mozilla gets credit for anything good here.

So like most Authoritarians then? They’re all for it until their side isn’t in charge anymore.

The problem is that it’s not shoved in the router, that’s why you have to agree to send them your data. Those features run on someone else’s computer instead of in the router itself.

Yes, the individual words have meanings, as words tend to do. Those words, in that order, form a NCIS, two people typing on the same keyboard, level word salad that has so little real world relevance that it tips soundly into the absurd.

This is how we found anything on reddit for most of its useful life. Its search was always garbage so we relied on Google to come up with usable results.

There’s that word again. “Heavy.” Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?
