Honestly, does Canada have any incentive to respect DMCA requests at this point?
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 4 days ago:
They do have something special that the rest of us don’t have. They have money.
That’s what I mean when I say they have room to try again. They don’t go broke when their business fails, so they can try more than once. Most of us don’t have the time or resources to have another go without some serious recovery time.

Goddamn, victim blame much? Most of them are trying to survive!
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 5 days ago:
Great! Most new businesses fail, which makes sense given the people starting them are new at this. Billionaires often have had several failed attempts. The difference is, they have room to fail and try again.
How do we give others that chance, if not by keeping billionaires from hoovering up all the resources?
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 5 days ago:
What billionaire didn’t start out with a healthy infusion of cash? Sure, some turned millions into billions, but I don’t know of any that didn’t start with a line on several millions of investment available.

See some still in Kansas. My grandparents in Wichita used to have tons of them about 35 years ago; not as many now.

Quietly swapping your earlier edition with the current edition was not, however.

From the article, Sansan Chicken, Sansan Ramen, and Yaso Kitchen, all in NY. (Since nobody has said it yet)

And if you’ve been letting Steam upload your save data, you should find that your save files for most games will still be available in Linux! Mileage will vary per game of course, but jumping between OSes has been pretty seamless for me!

True! I’ve been too focused on our local politics lately!

- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 9 months ago:
Step away from hardware constraints for a moment, and consider the OS:
If the OS says a file is deleted, under no circumstances should the OS be able to recover it. And yet, it apparently was. Thus, the concerns about data safety in an environment where the OS is unreliable.
- Comment on YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream 10 months ago:
I do think some of this is just fatigue. The usual way to deal with this is to either pick one or a few things to try to actively address, or just buckle down and wait for things to improve. Both lead naturally to a situation where it’s hard to get a critical mass on any one subject.

The agreement that was a pop-up you could only accept?
My dog answered that before I got a look at it. Is that legally binding?

Often you can still find out what it does, but the “why” gets lost and because of that people are afraid to change it.
I feel like this is what gets lost whenever documentation is talked about. Yes, you should probably be able to work out what something does by looking carefully at it - but why can be so easily lost!

And because when a gas car catches fire, it isn’t even newsworthy
- Comment on But I eat when I'm sad 1 year ago:
As the parent of a preschooler, he would absolutely say this. He didn’t have the patience to sit through such a long movie at that age, but he’d play while shows are on, and he’d definitely catch any intense emotional or musical moments.
And he could certainly plot, if a bit hamfistedly! At a little before three, he’d come up with some excuse for me to leave the room whenever he wanted to do something he wasn’t supposed to (“Mommy wants you!”). If that kid realized she’d been upset by the scene, I could totally see her taking that one step further to make others upset at an opportune moment!

Even knowing what it was supposed to be, I couldn’t see it until I happened to scroll by on my phone…
- Comment on Cope 1 year ago:
You know, your question sparked a little realization for me - I like some of the newer series quite a bit more than some others; but I love that we’re getting such a wide variety of directions and perspectives on the themes behind Star Trek!
- Comment on Voyager and Paramount Plus 1 year ago:
I’ve got the cheaper commercial driven one, but I only see commercials on my Roku - if I browse to the Web site, it’s still commercial free!
