Obligatory Simpsons quotes "I used to be “with it”, but then they changed what “it” was and now what I'm “with” isn't “it” and what's “it” seems weird and scary to me. IT WILL HAPP…

Not if USB-C to 3.5mm is illegal to manufacture. And it will be, as it circumvents DRM and is thus against the DMCA.

"back in the day"

Hey, Hitler might have been responsible for killing a lot of people, including ones of Jewish faith, but he also killed Hitler. I think that makes him strictly a better person than…

Probably, but I expect it would account for less than 0.5% of the increase. The costs of everything is passed on to the students (minus the relatively constant government subsidy, …

If they wanted to write an article against ad blockers, why not just do that? Why the bait and switch? Mods - title of the article is "Here's the deal with ad blockers", the submit…

What about Code::Blocks and KDevelop?

The Soviet Union also really liked to re-define words like you're trying to do with "consensual" here.

In fact, if you've signed a non-compete and later wish to leave the company, it's in your interest to do your absolute best to make the company fail, so you can't be sued after exi…

Most college dorms have two people per room, so if you've just graduated, this won't be anything you're not used to.

"consensual slavery" is a tautology more ridiculous than anything the Soviet Union ever wrote in their propaganda. Nobody would sell themselves into slavery if they had a choice. W…
