    Excellent, what are the metrics then? What makes a "how to do your nails" tutorial brainless stupidity?

    Who decides what is valuable content and what is brainless stupidity?

    Where can you get them for $2.65? I've never even seen one for sale.

    Of course it has lots to do with Microsoft's fuckery. I don't think it's a binary choice. Can you answer my question now? Edit: Sorry, misread the author. Thought you were the same…

    Is there any point? It seems like you're convinced enough that nothing can ever change your mind. So I'm fine with just disagreeing and leaving it at that.

    I'm sorry if I come across as obtuse, but I just need to understand this clearly. Is it your belief that the low usage of Linux has nothing to do with Linux itself?

    Just because something is revenue doesn't mean that the purpose is entirely to increase revenue. That is the claim you made. I have presented a counter-example to that, where reven…

    I'll have to disagree with that. Linux has significant usability problems, and pretending that it has none is not going to help anyone.

    Yes, I really do. Why don't more computers come with Linux pre-installed? If Linux is such a great replacement for Windows, why has it made very little gains in replacing Windows? …

    Anecdote of my own: In my country, monetary fines in traffic infringements are explicitly not for revenue. They mix into the total state revenue and form a minuscule fraction of it…

    That's quite the brush you're painting with there. Is the primary motivation behind fining the same everywhere?

    So why isn't everyone using it then?

    Fair enough. I'll amend it to "All Reddit, HN and Twitter apps I have ever seen"

    I guess... but that still leaves pretty much all news aggregators. Google News doesn't let you do much other than read news from all over the internet. It's functionally exactly th…

    This seems weird enough to be an error of some kind. Not that Apple is likely to fix it, but enforcing this rule would exclude: - All Reddit apps - All HN apps - Twitter - Facebook…

    Doesn't this exist already? Fire up TOR, brave the wilderness of hidden services.

    I'm still not exactly sure, which is definitely a red flag to me since I'm already a nerdy type that should at least understand the value proposition.

    Have you done any research into how likely it is that a visitor from your demographic understands what "federated" means in this context? I ask because it's part of the tagline, so…

    I didn't see anything in the tweetstorm indicating that this only took a day for Mr. Wallace. Do you have a link to where you got that impression?

    Counterpoint to your ridiculous hyperbole: Why isn't the murder rate near zero in states with the death penalty?

    It can definitely indicate a major problem beyond that of voting. But what does that have to do with voting? Should they have a harder time voting because they already have other m…

    All right then, can you name an example where this news organization (Center for Investigative Reporting) has misled readers to make them believe the wrong things?
