“Mass” is kind of an important word there. Swartz and the “many more examples” are still essentially rare and isolated incidents.

Nah, it’s just ridiculous. I had to move away from my home state recently because I’m a member of a contentious minority and, after the legislature there passed a similar measure, I was becoming increasingly afraid that I’d be shot in broad daylight by someone who didn’t like the look of me.

Feedbin. Can't recommend it highly enough -- fast, simple, works super well.

WebKit, presumably.

Actually, yes. Screenshot I just took: https://i.postimg.cc/bNX4Bw5s/0-C84-E133-7003-4867-8-F28-F84... (it goes through the normal IAP flow if you hit a button)

No, but I also haven't used it in years. Only keep my account around for a few mobile games that only have Facebook Connect as a login option.

I'd guess reasonably well. Graphics card would work fine out of the box, Wi-Fi would work well (but probably requires Intel's nonfree driver). Probably the only issues would be the fingerprint reader (which don't seem to be particularly well-supported under Linux) and the screen DPI (1600p at 17" might be a little small for 1X and a little large for 2X, and fractional scaling under Linux is a bit messy).

The Nvidia Shield TV is pretty close. It came out May 2015 and is still being supported (most recent update came out in September).

VRV works on that model, but it's mostly a niche subscription bundle -- Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, Shudder, that sort of thing.

Depending on where your cutoff for "REALLY high quality sound" is, the Bowers & Wilkins PX are pretty solid, and people on /r/headphones seem to like the Sony WH1000XM line.

I listen to mostly political, comedy, and political comedy podcasts:

* Doug Loves Movies

* FiveThirtyEight Politics

* Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4 (for The Now Show)

* MSNBC Rachel Maddow

* My Brother, My Brother and Me

* News Quiz Extra

* No Such Thing as a Fish

* Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

* What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law

* Why Is This Happening? with Chris Hayes

John Scalzi's Old Man's War series is really enjoyable.

How's Opus for this sort of thing?

If you want to stick with gaming mice, the HyperX Pulsefire FPS is pretty good: https://www.hyperxgaming.com/en/mice/pulsefire-fps-gaming-mo...

The one notable exception to this was that you were given a decently steep discount on "upgrading" Wii VC titles to their essentially identical Wii U versions, like 80% off or so. Still, it really shouldn't have been paid at all.

As a fellow Switch fanboy: Nintendo's online purchasing systems have (until the Switch) been extremely weird. Purchases on the eShop (or equivalent) on Wii, DSi, 3DS, and (IIRC) Wii U weren't tied to an account, they were tied to a console. If your console died, you couldn't just buy another one and automatically get all your games back, you'd have to call Nintendo customer support and get them to move your licenses over. The Switch fixed that but has the new problem that save data can't be backed up (until their paid online service starts in a couple months).

Both are fine. American English tends to treat collective nouns as singular, while British English treats them as plural. (http://www.dictionary.com/e/collective-nouns/)

“anything sent through the mail will be stolen unless it is enclosed in a padlocked box”

That’s why — A’s open padlock will be stolen.

Played a bit. Seems like a solid runner -- feels a bit more like the Rayman Run games than Canabalt or Jetpack Joyride to me. Curiously, it's more technical than any of those. Not sure I'm going to play more soon, but that's mostly because I'm playing on a 12.9" iPad Pro and the game feels like it's designed for screens half that size.

The problem isn't the quantity of characters disallowed, it's that they cover some reasonably common characters in tags. From the list of restricted characters on NTFS:

  \ / : * ? " < > |

There are a lot of artists, albums, and songs that use the forward slash (AC/DC, Less Than Jake's TV/EP), colon (Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution's "Intro: This is a Call to Arms"), asterisk (some releases of Serj Tankian's "Beethoven's Cunt"), question mark (Arctic Monkeys' "What If You Were Right the First Time?", David Bowie's "Life on Mars?"), and double quotation mark (David Bowie's "Heroes", Fall Out Boy's ""Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today""). As a stickler for having a well-organized music library, not being able to use those characters in my organization would be a bit grating.

Quod Libet/Ex Falso have pattern matching for tags: https://quodlibet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/editing_tag...

Few reasons for me:

* HDMI and DP alt modes make laptop docks a lot cheaper and more universal

* Don't need an OTG cable to use a Type-C device on my Type-C phone

* Potential Thunderbolt 3 port reuse
