Yes, I know that. So why aren’t my applications or tabs crashing at least once a day?
The original comment said to stop giving money to these companies if they are not giving you a satisfactory service.

The opposite, to be lazy and to continue giving them money whilst being unhappy with what you get in return, would actually be more like defending the companies.

On iOS I use Brave and it works fine.
Is this was true, wouldn’t any modern computer would be crashing several times a month? And please don’t tell me “oh but it is”, because it is not.

I think it’s amusing. That was probably the expected response.
No, I do. Me voting for someone who votes for someone who writes a law is not democratic. I’m far too removed from the process. Maybe it’s you who doesn’t know what democracy is; consider that.
No, but I don’t pretend the process is democratic.
It was? I'm a citizen of the EU and I don't remember the DSA referendum. Maybe I was out that day.
This comment proves that whatever they do, they can’t win.
Are you of fighting age? In other words, are you putting your life on the line, or you just think that “someone else” should die to protect you?
> We're all the same. Nothing has been shown more effective at tearing down prejudices than actual exposure and confrontation.

History is full of counter-examples.

And the solution to low salaries is... is increasing the supply of labour?
Good, that means the war is over, right? Unless you're lying, of course.

Someone inspecting the bridge in person?
Yes, but it’s done by a liberal government for democracy and human rights, so it’s okay.
It’s anti-tech rhetoric so it works well here in HN. That’s the entire purpose of it.

Not to say ads on fridges aren’t stupid. But they are stupid enough by themselves; they don’t have to make up stories about them.

Smoothing skin does give important data savings. Smooth blocks take up much less space than detailed blocks.
It’s about productivity, not about the raw amount of hours.

Nobody has confused Jolla with Volla, mostly because nobody has ever heard of Volla.

Think of the poor billionaires :(

Then vote for it. Seems a growing majority disagree with you now. Maybe those policies haven’t worked well for them.
That’s the theory. What’s happening is the complete opposite. Thank the government for it.
Actually this was (and still is) commonplace these last decades, for poor and rich people alike. Even the poorest could afford to have a car and put petrol in it. It's becoming untenable for the younger generations because of government intervention and mishandling of the economy.
