How convenient

Discontinue the use of single use plastic and internal combustion engines.

This debate comes up all the time. Does freedom refer to my freedom or everyone's freedom.

My freedom to shoot you is limited by your freedom to not be harmed. My freedoms have been limited but this is very fair.

Amazon has already done this and pulled a book from people's kindles that they had purchased because Amazon didn't have a license to sell it

Europe is heading this way. There was recent news that a country in Europe was planning to require steam to allow users to transfer and sell their games to other accounts.

You are only restricted from restricting others. That sounds very fair to me.

It's not that your browser doesn't support JS, it's that loading an entire js framework and running mountains of code is so slow. So now we are all bogged down with slow websites for something that could be lightning fast

SourceHuts design can be described as utilitarian. It's there to serve a purpose but it incredibly boring and emotionless. For a source code hosting platform this is fine but utilitarian is not what you want every UI to be.

Solved by making really thin streets and blind corners where cars have to slow right now to avoid hitting things on the edge.

More people riding a bike is less people driving a car so the situation has already improved.

And yet I still end up just calling the pizza place by phone since it's easier than navigating a slow and awkward UI and having to enter my payment details rather than paying on pickup.

The value of it is very high since it allows download pages to show you the correct info for your OS.

Candy crush in the sidebar, ads all over the home page/new tab page of the built in browsers. Heavy annoying pushes for Microsoft products like starting Microsoft teams every time you boot when I never installed it or even have an account.

It's not the bugs that are an issue with 10. It's the mountains of nagware, spyware and advertisements built in to it.

Basically everything that is not a car is immune to traffic jams outside of extraordinary situations like events with narrow exits.

Flying cars will never become the norm unless we work out how to produce infinite clean energy or how to turn off gravity. Traffic jams will be gone when city planners work out cars were not a good idea for transporting mass amounts of people.

There is just no need to walk in to someone else since you can see far ahead and can plan a course around anyone else. I have watched ants and they always stop for a period of time after bumping which seems very inefficient when there is plenty of room to not bump

I wish spam filters would automatically move all marketing/newsletters to spam

In python it makes sense but when you have `for(let i=0; I<length; I++)` it makes less sense

Native English speaker and I also don't really get what "for" was meant to mean. At this point it's probably just something that everyone has memorised and part of history.

There is no alternative. Mountains of code, documentation, Q&A posts, tooling have all been created in English. Even if you use a programming language that supports your own language you will be crippling your ability. Learning enough English words to use pythonh would be much easier than having to reinvent the world in your own language.

Obviously not all of the time because otherwise ISPs, VPNs, postal services could not run. I think what is more of an issue is constantly having to prove you were not involved when police come investigate.

That should be included in device cost. It is unacceptable that they prevent users who paid for the device from installing programs outside of apples walled garden

The amount of value steam provides on top of payment processing and distribution is immense. Valve basically single handedly created Linux gaming. Their client is so many years ahead of everything else with the forums, workshop, broadcast streaming, streaming to your tv, gamepad support and gamepad virtualisation as well as a mountain of developer side APIs for things like inviting friends to games.

Apples 30% would seem a lot more fair if it was possible to side load and install alternative app stores

In comparison apples offering is little more than "we have a huge captive audience on a proprietary system. Pay us or miss out on half of the market"

I think how it works at the pedestrian mall here is all loading and unloading gets done before store opening hours and then the vans leave and the bollards go back up.

A better system would be to require that it is very clear the user is being monitored. Some kind of persistent notification and popup on every boot notifying the user of the software. This way it still works fine for corporate setups but is useless for stalkers

AGPL is rarely used because it is incredibly restrictive and prevents sharing code with other open source projects. The world only has room for one restrictive license and GPL has taken that spot.

American politics is incredibly toxic and counter productive. Why can't people keep politics and productive work separate. This goes for both sides, people need to stop sharing political rants in spaces dedicated for work and people need to stop digging in to contributors social media pages to find something bad.

The right to repair movement is not about doing everything yourself but making it possible and fast for skilled people to repair.

The cost difference between paying someone to completely deconstruct a MacBook and spent ages with a plastic card and glue melting chemicals and having to source a hard to find unofficial battery vs using a screwdriver and an official battery is enormous.

I sure do love foreign megacorps shoving their "pro family values" on me when I don't have a family. Guess some CEO knows better than I do what I should be doing.
