I think Ron Paul was pretty inspirational to me at one point. Recently, I wonder whether he's just another Russian shill.

I do! I did not know it could do that.

Usually necessary is on and greyed out in almost all the dialog boxes I see.

I really want to try out Shadowdark

I think you replied to the wrong message.

I don't know. My guess would be no. Which is a shame.

CompUSA was a shitty place to work.

It does!

Thank you. That worked!

I use Firefox, because of Firefox containers and total cookie protection.

But with Safari adding profiles to the next version, I will need to revisit Safari again.

Both are bad choices. When reddit says open /r/pics or else, you just delete /r/pics.

Reddit has NEVER been profitable. It's the classic:

1. Takes a bunch of venture capital funding
2. Builds a huge user base
3. Get bought
4. Parent company tries to figure out a way to make money off of you.
5. When they can't, they try to spin you off and IPO you.
6. You have your "oh shit" moment and realize you actually have to be profitable now.

This is the crap that caused the dot-com bubble in the late 90s.

Their current business model is unsustainable.

They're doing the API war out of sheer survival.

The sad part is, we all went along for the ride, using the service and filling it with useful information, never wondering if it was still going to be there a decade or two later.

Reddit wants to IPO. Having gone through the IPO process twice now with a company, I can tell you, the only thing that matters is money in the bank. The more money you have in the bank, the more you can charge for your IPO. When I worked at CompUSA back in the 90s, we didn't pay any of our creditors for something like 6 months before the IPO to swell the bank accounts. I remember the week before the IPO, we had almost nothing in the store, because we owed everyone money. 30 days after IPO, trucks came rolling in again with product.

I think Apple has created the best VR headset ever. Sadly, I just don't care about the product category.

When they get it down to a pair of glasses, I'll care more.
