Paywalling content would easily make this a transaction, but they choose to make this optional.

If Google didn't have such influence over web browser specifications maybe they would give up on adverts - while users are the ones in control of their computers then it will never be up to YouTube what is played on our machines.

By describing what you mean, instead of a word which often leads to discussions on word definitions, you can avoid the latter.

I found saying "homophobia" lead to talk about "I don't fear them" (phobia) rather than discussion on mistreatment. So instead I would say "aversion to homosexuality".

There would be less talking over each other due to word definitions if the music industry had not convicted people that murder and stealing on boats was good way to describe unauthorized copying.

Request I watch an ad but give me content either way means I can decline the ad. Demand I watch ad and withhold until I do, then I have to watch the ad (or seek another distributor). They asked for a donation, not payment.

If it's MY car why would adverts be in it? What's next, adverts in my shed?

I activate false dichotomy and flip the table.

Copyright is the legal method to limit redistribution of easily copied material, not as if there's anything else people could appeal to.

I ain't a fan of copyright but make it last 10 years instead of X + infinity and maybe it's not so bad. I can't argue against copyright fully as I think copyleft is essential for software.

Sometimes you have to fight with the OS to make it work but that should be due to a bug (or my incompetence in using it). When it's not working because it's actually working on someone else's behalf you can probably delete the whole fucking thing mate.

Consider a universal basic income as a means to reduced the profit motive when authors create/share media.

I was thinking strong wind, flooding, fire, rockslides, etc

Mastodon is a bi replacement for twitter.

I ain't a fan of the corporate tracking device but how people acted before a technology existed says little to how best to act now. Even if it did the past is littered with the corpses of those unaware of incoming danger from natural disasters.

Not even the taxman?

Normally I'd say that's fine (the store hoster should decide what's there) but it's my understanding Apple actively opposite the existence of alternative app stores. Can they host it elsewhere now?

Anecdotally Apple make it very hard to even post an app but that's neither here nor there.

I'll put 100 on "this user needs their account to do things which in principle need not require an account", please.

"DRM" as in digital restrictions management I assume.

Is it actually better than nothing though?

Either these are tolerant folks or someone we might be better off if they stayed on 4twitter.

It's not your car if someone else controls it.

Site can't be viewed from the EU. Too many cookies put in mouth without consent.

If you want to encourage purchasing of storage then contribute to making that an easier task. Charging for overproducing is spiteful and mostly encourages resentment. I wouldn't blame these people for finding a cheap way to avoid the "charge" (and if there is a law that prevents that, it is disgusting).
