That's great, but fossil fuels are often available in the event of a power outage, and that can save lives during a winter storm. Availability is just as important as efficiency, and until we can make our power grid more resilient, we need to factor that in.

They'll just bake that logic into the printer directly

We had net neutrality before under the Democrats

We literally didn't. The rules never took effect.

Yep, two sides of the same coin.

Not trying to defend Google, but they don't actually sell your data. Their ownership of your personal info is their biggest asset, so they wouldn't easily give that data up to others. Instead. They serve ads to you on behalf of other companies based on their ad targeting criteria.

I dislike Google and their entire business model, but I do at the very least trust them to keep my data captive within their own ecosystem, as hideously enormous as it is.

Or, maybe just give everyone the feature rather than paywalling it.

All it takes is a malicious program accessing your clipboard or running commands to find your password file while your machine is booted and decrypted.

It's absurd. Obviously some devices "need" it, like smart doorbells and the like, but I'll die a painful death before I connect my TV or refrigerator to the internet.

Hell, I want a garage door opener that I can monitor remotely, but I'm not willing to compromise my home's security just because I second-guess myself on occasion.

I've seen them and they look awesome. I really hope they do use them, because drones are disgustingly noisy.

non progressive ideas

Yeah, let's censor anyone who isn't on my team!

Sounds an awful lot like fascism to me.

I have to ask... Why not just use a fingerprinting-resistant browser?

Porch pirates and crotchety old people and anyone who doesn't like to hear screaming propellers outside of their living room window.

Oh boy, I can't wait for nothing of any measurable significance to happen as a result of this.

I've ridden one before. They're fun, but I'm happier with my car.

Or install it on everyone's computer and then don't be overly pedantic about the occasional slacking off.

Companies that employ this tech probably also block USB peripherals (besides input devices)

On one hand, we have a side that tells you sweet little lies that they never intend to actually keep to.

The other is just using every dirty trick in the book to ruin what rights we did have, to make life harder for all but the wealthy, and generally fuck the people over for profits.

You've described both parties with both sentences.

Emacs handles this with a "kill ring". The first time you paste (yank) with C-y, it'll paste the last thing you cut/copied. Then you can repeatedly press M-y (M == meta == alt key) to cycle through previous items in that were cut/copied.

IIRC it's default in Windows and GNOME now too. It's a very strange default.

Is it not open source? You can literally audit the code and point out any shadiness yourself.
