- Comment on Netflix mulls introducing free ad-supported tier. The circle is complete 5 days ago:
When my paid service started giving me ads I stopped watching it. I’ve been paying them since before streaming and in the past couple years stopped paying because T-Mobile started paying. When T-Mobile quits paying we’ll close the account.

Look into noscript (Firefox extension), seems to work well for my local papers website (they use some js to hide the page after it loads, noscript blocks scripts from running).
- Comment on "Yeah, but what if we used AI?" 2 months ago:
I’d argue the poor pay a vastly higher percentage of their income on taxes, but I like to include all taxes in that figure, not just income tax.
- Comment on After pushing cloud storage, TV provider to auto-delete 61-day-old DVR recordings 2 months ago:
Given they were required to add an interface to back up your recordings back in the 90s (I think it was the 90s), I’d kind of agree. The DVR itself makes a crappy long term storage, but the spirit is akin to a VCR, totally intended for saving video recordings.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 3 months ago:
The argument could be made (and probably will be) that they promote those activities by allowing their algorithms to promote that content. Its’s a dangerous precedent to set, but not unlikely given the recent rulings.
- Comment on Steam :: Introducing Steam Families 3 months ago:
Or, you set your steam account up as a company. Still a “person” for legal purposes, but can be handed down.
Totally just joking, but maybe…
- Comment on 3 months ago:
That looks awesome man! Congrats!
- Comment on Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change? 4 months ago:
Personal opinion, but it should show a single state and if it is active.
- Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 5 months ago:
Clearly not a touch typist, then. The hands goes over the F and J (that’s why the bumps are there on the keys, after all) and the fingers extend or fold to reach out to the other keys, but never move
If my fingers never moved, everything further right than the pipe would be out of reach. Not to mention the entirety of the number pad. I pay for 100+ keys, I’m using them damnit! Lol
On a lighter note, thanks for the engagement, even though we disagree its nice to hear someone’s response!

If that is a defining quality of touch typists, I guess I’m far from one. My hand position moves all over the place as I type, but I haven’t had to look for a key (or where my hand should go for whatever task) in a decade or so (I do have to look for a couple odd keys occasionally, only symbols I don’t use frequently).
Just easier to crtl + a lot of keys with the same hand, then the hand slides right back to where it was (similar to how some people hit crtl + alt + del with one hand while others use two).

Scroll lock is still super useful for me, maybe they could just use the right control key.
