There's a word for people who like to daydream and spread their wishful thinking around them: "naive".

It actually stems from vanity and vanity is disgusting.

TheLogotheteon Moleskine Smart Writing Set

Why not just write in a nice notebook/journal and take photos to upload to Onenote or Evernote?

>Why not just take a picture of your paper?

Moleskine has this in partnership with Evernote.

Onenote has an app called Office Lens.

Additionally, this has already been done. Livescribe has the exact same product. By the looks of it, it's better.

You are fetching their property and do not respect their rules. No matter how much you squirm and squeeze, this is objectively not OK to do.

TheLogotheteon Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'

You are straight out denying the reality.

They didn't give it to you. They put a wall and said "You cannot pass this wall with adblock turned on". You decided to circumvent it. Because...?

TheLogotheteon Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'

Then why do you access their computers when they have explicitly said they don't want you to? Even further, you circumvent a system they have put in place to stop you from accessing their property.

If a door is open but has a sign "do not enter" above it, should you enter?

What do you think will happen when the media companies realize that the promised subscription revenues will never come and scaling web advertising is not a realistic goal for them? Do you think they will say, "oh fuck it" and close shop? Oh, you thought they will wither and die. It's cozy to think that way, but it is not based on reality. They are gonna get bought. And do you know who is in the best position to snatch the market? Yup, you guessed it. They have entered in the ad business in a big way already. Just a select few partners to keep it quiet. For now. Buying distressed media companies is the best path forward. All the reach they need, the sales pipeline and even more data then they already have. Oh that sweet, sweet data.

You think your privacy is violated now? LOL.

Oh and btw, if you missed it, Verizon bought AOL. Have a nice evening.

I am amused, not angry. I find self entitled goofs tiring, but like to poke them a bit from time to time.

Blocking ads will only make things worse, btw. You just don't see it coming, yet. Just wait for the telcos.

TheLogotheteon Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'

This is not ad blocking. They told you they don't want your visit and you still go ahead and consume the content.

This is not a game. You just like to freeload and when somebody calls your bull, you throw a tantrum.

TheLogotheteon Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'

The publisher told you that if you want to see the content, you have to see ads too. They are very explicit about it. You are not entitled to see the content. If it was just an adblock issue, I can see the logic of clicking on links and blocking the ads. I do not condone it, but I can see that some people might find it logical.

BUT the publisher intercepted you and said "you cannot continue with adblock turned on". Why do you think you have the right to see that content without seeing the ads when the publisher explicitly said you can't do that?

When he wastes your bandwidth with ads, he is the devil, but when you waste his bandwidth, it's perfectly OK?

Technical ability has nothing to do with it. You have the technical ability to stab someone with a knife. You have the technical ability to download a book, copy it and then distribute it. Is that OK too?

Just because you CAN do something does not mean you SHOULD do it.

TheLogotheteon Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'

You click on a link that you know has advertising

2) The site tells you, "hey, we see that you run adblock. If you want to consume our content you have to disable that. If you don't want to disable your adblock, bye."

3)You still go ahead to consume the content.

In what universe this is OK?

TheLogotheteon Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'

I am rendered speechless by your immaculate logic.

TheLogotheteon Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'

Why do you insist to consume content when the publisher tells you they don't want your visit if you don't want their ads?

TheLogotheteon Facebook adds video search to combat original content sharing decline

I think it has more to do with forcing content creators to come, than with beefing netrics up.

TheLogotheteon Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

The Anniversary Update will be an automatic probably, yes (don't see this as a bad thing), but I am a bit skeptical that this feature will be included in the general update. Probably opt-in/separate download. It's a developer feature, after all.

It is super weird. I think Ubuntu shell for Windows is much, much better.

And I think your opinion is tainted.

"don't think we'll succeed teaching white, male middle managers empathy and compassion anytime soon so let's limit their scope of damage"

So when this guy makes workshops to spread his bigotry he is fighting for inclusion and when I speak up I am fighting against diversity initiatives? Are you for real?

Yes. I lobbied several companies to terminate their enterpise contracts with github because of their racist attitudes. All switched within 2 weeks. Some to VS Team Services, some to Gitlab. My work projects went to MSFT, but I think I will transfer my side projects to gitlab from bitbucket, since they have pages now.
