On a moral level, I do agree with keeping children from accessing certain content online, especially porn. I think I'd be happier if I porn was less accessible to me until I had the mental faculties to understand it.

On a practical / policy level, I disagree since there is no way to stop children from accessing this content without drastically hampering the freedoms of all people. I see no good solutions. I really feel bad for parents who have to raise kids in the internet age.

I agree with you, but I think the name Netherlands comes from the land being low.

Are you saying that Com Ed was the killer all along?

Good bot

Since Manjaro is forked from Arch, it would benefit from Arch's updated drivers, right?

Probably because Google encourages OEMs to keep the hardware dirt cheap so that they can expose as many kids as possible to Google everything and they can harvest their data for life.

Spend tons of money, now some indifferent corporation controls your house.

Go gettem, Dwight!

Definitely wanted to spite Karen, but that doesn't make them bad cops.

Captain, will you be at my poetry recital tonight?

Really though, isn't the function of the deflector dish to deflect space debris so it doesn't hit the ship? If so, I feel like that's a really dangerous thing to be messing with.

I need a Clone Wars version of this...

In my experience, once you make an account they will let you read a lot of articles - even without paying.

The Economist, Reuters, BBC, in no particular order.

Hey, that makes you a sorcerer, just in the wrong century.

In the time of Plato, only the most educated could read and write. So if you could do both, I think your odds of being remembered had almost as much to do with writing good quality as it did with being lucky enough for your writing to survive centuries.

As for us...it will happen but only very rarely.

These are two companies.

Brave has had my respect. Today, Brave earned my appreciation.

I'm afraid I disagree here. This line of thinking might lead some people to targeting Google engineers for harassment, doxxing, etc. We're better than that, I hope. Instead, we need to call on governments to hit Google harder than they hit Microsoft over Internet Explorer. Back then, there were talks of forcing Microsoft to split off IE as a separate company, we need to make Google do the same with Chrome, and find some way to compel them to stop all browser development altogether. We have antitrust laws, we just aren't using them.

I am by no means saying we should passively hope that things will work out. What I am saying is that we have no reason to be defeatist. In the same time that we've seen aggressive pushes for a more locked down internet, we've seen dozens of open source projects to fight back.
