Sorry what? When has anyone ever said breathing is the cause for climate change? Or even talked about disallowing breathing?

I am aware. Why do these news corporations not just write an appropriate robots.txt so Google can't take their content? Is it maybe because they want their cake AND eat it too?

Nothing is stopping them from building their own aggregation sites and disallowing Google/Facebook to index their sites. They are literally giving their content to Google and then demand they get paid. (Technically Google is taking t

Who is forcing you to install apps from any store? Are you being held hostage and compelled to install apps against your will? Blink twice for yes, three times for no.

I think you are correct with your assessment of how most people use computers. But I don't agree with your conclusion that they need to be protected. If I want to hammer in a nail and accidentally hit my finger that's not the hamm

So the tradeoff we're making is between the user seeing a white screen for a couple of (mili)seconds and the websites getting even more bloated by preloading content that the user might or might not want to see in the future? Why not j
