Small bits like caps can’t get sorted for recycling for some reason, so they’re just “waste” instead of recyclable

Plenty of paywalled sites have workarounds (Bypass Paywall Clean extension basically does that for you)

On top of the reason the top level comment gave (easy for law enforcement) it also allows for better data collection (linking your activity to your account, no matter where, how or when it is recorded)

That’s assuming the old comments are actually overwritten instead of just marked as ‘old’

New models are like really good at context, the amount of input that can be given to them has exploded (fairly) recently… So you can give whole datasets or books as context and ask questions about them.

Funny how you think an edit doesn’t write the old record to a comments_old table

Problem with that is that simply pasting your signature is in no way legally binding. Someone could crop your signature out of a random document and then sign a bunch of papers with it.

With a paper copy you’re supposed to keep the hard copy (and so is the other party, that’s why you always sign in doubles).

Hell even printing, signing and scanning is quite vague in terms of legal value… You’d have to actually send the original hard copies by mail to be 100% covered. (With a registered letter at that).

Digital signing will supposedly make this whole process easier, but doing that digital signing can only be executed by a small amount of certified organisations. (As in everyone can digitally sign something with their own keys, but it won’t be legally recognized)

Not a lawyer, just someone who tried to figure out how signing legal documents works to include it in an inhouse program at work

30? I’ve come across website that in this case would list out all 807 partners.

No prompt needed even

I’ve had that running for a while now, sadly some sites give you the option “accept all cookies” or “deny all by getting a monthly subscription” which if using this extension will automatically redirect you.

Aside from that little downside it has made browsing so much better.

It is much easier to destroy something than it is to repair it. This applies to the original changes we made through exploitation, pollution, etc. But also to the radical change you propose, it is much easier for it to have a destructive effect compared to having a positive effect.

Say that to the table in my living room. (They removed a lot of old exotic trees that were lining some road some years back, those trees got sold to people making nice tables).

Selling the trees was only a side effect, and these weren’t your run of the mill trees either. But exceptions exist

If history taught us anything it is that purposely messing with an ecosystem seldom has the effect we want to achieve.

It’s 50/50, either you succeed or you fail, can go two ways.

Jokes aside, it doesn’t hurt to try. (In my case I use it as a last resort when I’m about to abandon an app cuz of the cash-grabby-ness)

It’s a bit of a hit or miss, but you can try using “lucky patcher”. Just make sure your data is backed up as it has to reinstall (unless you have a rooted phone) and it might fail (there’s quite a few combinations of parameters you can try so if one doesn’t work, try a few others).

It gets flagged by Google as malware ofcourse, but afaik it isn’t.

In my limited experience, it’s really a hit or miss but it doesn’t hurt to try. More ‘extreme’ patches can crash the app on start, and there are ways to check the app’s integrity that app developers can add (and then there’s ways to get around them, and then there’s checks to block that, etc)

Have you even begun to consider that they both suck?
