It's not free if a herd of lawyers is going to sue you if you try.

If it were for me to decide, they would be down in hiding. Cause being up in arms would mean legs broken, and also fingers or their hands to prevent further use of computer keyboards and mice.
Also an abbreviation which is expanded into "search engine optimization" by the very fscking name means that they are ruining the Internet, or the Web as its part, more precisely.
And if it's based on algorithms more fit for dating, kids with most problems would be the least likely to find adopting parents.
That's because platforms as a paradigm have failed. Their Achilles' heel has been found, end of story.
Not only in the Web, IRL too. The world is going to be P2P (which is the same as imperial, because an empire is a P2P network united by philosophy, I think I've even seen some passage by Marcus Aurelius with this general idea). Call me mad or just scroll further if this looks nuts.
Yeah, I get it, why stream the video if you can generate summary, why find creators if you can generate content, why attract people if you can generate comments, generate, generate, generate ...
I think I have a question concerning where do humans fit in all that, except for clicking ads.
At this point where they say this that openly I think I'll stop all the efforts at arguing online unless the opponent is quite clearly not a bot.
Lem's "Bomba megabitowa" comes true in everything.
I like Lem and one may find some solutions in his approaches. But I also liked the Web like 20-15 years ago, it was nice.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is rather easy.
But anyway, no mainstream user-friendly Linux distribution is that hard to use if you can read and think.
So when people say that they can't manage one on their desktop - they also usually can't manage Windows on their desktop, they just think they can.
Yep, the reason Macs are more usable is not that they are usable in general, it's that they can't keep the pace with Windows.
Imagine a girl you like putting a hand on your shoulder, looking into your eyes, saying some gentle word I don't quite remember due to being mesmerized by those eyes, and you know what I did? I just looked back uneasily for a few seconds, then nervously took her hand off my shoulder, shook it a bit, released it and awkwardly smiled. (That even wasn't her last attempt to make me happy against my best efforts ; ended bad anyway.)
There are many things further down the road to go wrong with attractive popular girls. 2 most catastrophic cases in my life are with those such as them.
Admittedly I'm the one who mainly failed them due to misunderstandings and passiveness, but when a girl (being all that popular) is used to boys being rather active and competitive and social, and then you are here just cause she happened to like your looks, this may end painfully, for you more than for her.
There are also cases from the post, only I may have noticed, just wouldn't risk losing an existing good friendship for possible romance.
Well, "woke" is when you care more in the same instant about some global warming than about, say, bombs falling on Gaza right now. It's fine to care about all the things you consider important simultaneously, just gender etiquette and pronouns are negligible in importance as compared to actual mass murders if you have to choose where to spend your energy. So it still has some meaning.
And for "tankie" - I don't believe you haven't met them. Those guys simping for each and every dictatorship and nostalgic for Stalin, sincerely wishing to repeat USSR in planetary scale (cause it failed because of some plot, which would of course never happen again, as tankies would shoot everybody suspected of preparing it /s).
About "terrorist" - it already has no meaning. What Israel is doing right now is terrorism, and what they say to justify it means once again that it's terrorism, and frankly for most of the known history terrorism was a normal part of wartime and peacetime existence. Since we are directed for that "new medieval" full-steam, naturally it's not clear why you'd use the word if you are not a propagandist.
Yeah, I know a few. Basically in all of Eastern Europe there are job-place combinations which won't allow you to survive on that job alone, and they are not that unusual.
