I’m paying artists more through Spotify premium than you are through torrenting their music 🤷‍♂️

What ads are you talking about? Music on Premium/Family has no audio ads period. The home screen offers music to listen to, but most are either genres you listen to, or overall popular items. I wouldn’t lump these in with ads for paper towels or fast food etc.

Podcasts are free and ad-supported. You might be able to get ad-free if you go out to each producer and subscribe. I think Wonderly did that maybe?

It’s more gating off than walling. If it keeps access and usage free I’m ok with it.

Name one time a Libertarian accomplished something.

9/11

Can someone tell me why this is unreasonable?

All too true. If the person is making other people unhappy that’s a bigger problem that’ll snowball.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but “mass shootings aren’t the worst gun violence in the US” is just a shitty argument especially when the US is the only country that it regularly happens. I’d rather there be no gun violence anywhere, but I definitely care more about kids getting slaughtered than I do criminals shooting at each other. I don’t think that’s unreasonable at all.

I’ll also add something that’s changed is the radicalization of the likes of the NRA and right-wing groups starting in the 80s. When my father joined the NRA it was an organization that pushed for safety and training of firearms. Now they a practically a political arm of the Republican Party who just fear-monger and drive people to hoard guns and ammo, which I’m sure make the manufacturers happy. A large number of mass shooters have listened to these radicalized propaganda machines.

If we want to have a conversation about preventing the radicalization in the first place, I’m for it. Hold those people responsible instead of all fun owners is a topic to discuss.

If the claim here is that these people would vote straight Blue if the Democratic Party came out tomorrow supporting guns I don’t buy it at all. They’ll move the goalposts. Half the rhetoric they believe about Democrats taking their guns is entirely fabricated to begin with, a large chunk of the rest amounts to paperwork.

It basically the “cover your ass” phase when you document everything so when the company does fire them, there’s proof that they don’t violate any laws.

It specifically found the opposite in safety-sensitive positions.

NeXT didn’t go anywhere, but the other company he funded and helped spin off certainly did. Pixar.

Except Jobs was fired in the 80s and the company did go to shit without him. They were weeks away from insolvency when they hired him back. He threw out most of the companies products and pivoted to the likes of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. And while people like Jonny Ive were hired during Jobs absence, he’s not known for any of the work prior to Jobs returning. He also hired Tim Cook.

Link?

🙄 and they sometimes break sites by accident. I’m not saying it’s Firefox’s fault to fix. If you read the comments on the reddit post, there are several users looking at the code and finding what’s happening and it’s not tied to user agent.

Reading the comments, It looks to be ad related, and maybe Firefox’s built in privacy tools are the root of the problem?

My Pixel 6 Pro maybe couldn’t call 911 for a week, was vulnerable to a device take over flaw Google owns security team disclosed and wasn’t patched until a week after the 90 day public disclosure deadline, and the modem heats up the phone and kills the battery.

At that sample size there is only a 1.043% margin of error according to Slovin’s Formula in Statistics.

It was a limitation for Android for a decade after iMessage came out because they spent the whole time half assing RCS. It’s only been like two years tops that I reliably receive RCS messages from Android to Android.
