I use cash because it allows the business not to pay tax.
That’s it. That’s the only reason.

As much as I dislike the police and the government in general I don’t think the police cares much about that.

>And guess which neighborhoods have the most cameras?
The ones with highest amount of crime?
But it could also be the opposite: the neighbourhoods of the well off, who are willing to pay for this kind of service.
I really don't know, since both options seem likely.

I don’t think it’s possible to find computers selling today with one of those.

You would be hard-pressed today to find computers with less than 8 GB of RAM. 300 MB is 3.66% of 8 GB of RAM. Which, again, is absolutely nothing.
Okay, let's assume you have a computer with 4 GB of RAM. Still 7.32%. That is low.

Paying for RAM and having it sit around doing nothing is stupid.

300 MB is 1.25% of my RAM. An application using 1.25% of my RAM seems reasonable.

The problem is this is Finland and whatever the secretary of energy of the USA says is completely irrelevant.

Spotify search, which is the default, has been broken since May (according to bug reports) and the developer says he doesn't intend to fix it.

Posting a comment doubting the ROI of a public investment is not “authoritarian populism”. If anything, democracy needs more of it.

The degradation started when they began looking at the Accept HTTP header to see if you were clicking a direct link to an image so they could show you a page full of ads instead of just the image. And that happened well before that bloke sold the site.

This will work as well as the Reddit revolts.
