I agree with the sentiment, I just found it to be a funny context to bring it up in ;)

your talk about art sparking the imagination tells me you don’t see two legs and a jar in the tv shadow.

…or maybe you do, who am i to judge.

well, “scammers in iran” doing it, and “iran” doing it, is two very different statements.

Because people don’t like to be told what to do. Why create a black market when there is already a steep and steady decline?

You need to be more careful with context.

That’s Richard Ayoade in the picture, and he’s a fuckin’ national treasure.

Insurance companies too exist to make money. If their customers generally went plus, the insurance company would go out of business.

nice job blindly taking the comment at face value while completely ignoring the context.

that seems, inefficient

I’m pretty happy with my samsung. No really, hear me out, if power cuts out, when it resumes, the tv auto starts on the same input.

I have it connected to a pc, and use a smart plug for turning on and off. Haven’t seen a trace of the smarts for years :D

… except in 100, when it doesn’t, except again in 400, then it does.

Why? It IS about my aesthetic preferences :)

I like when everywhere in a place is different and memorable.

If you like samey grids I have no reason not to respect that, but I wholeheartedly disagree.

so fucking much better!

Google controls search results and has been caught meddling. Which negates the first two.

No it doesn’t negate the forst two. It only addresses the second, and bypassing the results completely, exascerbates the problem quite a bit.

Cry me a river.

great argument.

• It helps spread false information widely

• It puts a lot of control of information in a single companies hands

• It hurts the underlying sources

When google provides the info directly, and the first hand sources has become completely obsolete and shut down, what would new information stem from? It’s an inherently unstable and short sighted solution.

this is problematic on multiple levels.

This is not applicable to arch tho

Each package is updated independently, you pull updates whenever you feel like it, be that monthly or every five minutes

wha?

your point is valid, but why be so abrasive about it?

Tbf this is my only actual source https://youtu.be/4l2RDCx2YnA

but he makes it sound like it’s quite a bit worse than that

keeping US citizenship abroad is very expensive I hear. They want your taxes
