I think you should reread my post. My post is making a very specific point that your reaction tells me you get, but aren't applying. Read it more like a poem and less like a proposed bill.

I disagree with your premise that I shouldn’t express concern/opinions or point out problems with things that affect me simply because I’m not a trained expert in that thing.

I’m advocating for controlling the damage. The way I said it is cutesy, not literal. I intended it to point out that it’s too easy to merge companies together but it’s effectively impossible to stop someone from becoming anticompetitive wit

Slightly tangential thought: My belief is: legislation needs to either make it just as hard to merge two companies as it is to unmerge them, or make it just as easy to unmerge two companies as it is to merge them. It's insane to me tha

Understand. Thanks for the answer. There’s obviously a line somewhere though, right? Like if that same company put a camera in a bathroom stall? So on one extreme with have CCTV parking lot cams, on the other we have bathroom stalls. It see

I live by a park. These places don't care for the same reason the park doesn't care: the wind blows it all in my yard, not their problem anymore.

Nagware will always get a bad review from me if I paid money for it. I'm your customer, not your marketing team. The nags seem to always come at the worst time. Open an app to look up something and I have to click to close all the bubb

Mario 64 was byte for byte decompiled to C. It was helped by using the Debug symbols accidentally(?) compiled into the final version of the game. Otherwise they reference rips of the original game.

yeah, i ignored them for years just to see how long they'd play their little game. I finally got sick of it, paid them for a month, downloaded everything, and then canceled/closed the account. Didn't know there was the free o

I think it’s a major feature gap that Gmail (paid or free) cannot create filters on headers. I also can’t do wildcard filters on “to” or “from”. For example, in my GApps I have it set up to route all emails not associated with a specific us

This is definitely not true for general .us domains. I registered one a year or two ago. And assuming my normal default Whois privacy was being applied (I clicked through too fast. Wasn’t paying attention) I noticed my mistake after the spa

I tried to use a USB-C HDMI dongle I had. But I assumed it was because the switch 2 was looking for something that could deliver enough power and actively cool it, like the first party dock does.

I wish I could better help my org see that. Luckily my boss agrees with me, but he's not in full control. Between the vendor lock-in, and the _almost but not quite api compatibility_ with OSS... I just dread as more teams adopt it. &qu
