Well, GeForce Now is getting run into the ground. Desktops are going to be full of “xyz publisher launcher” and people are going to be paying $50 a month per publisher to play their games “anywhere”.

I’m 20 and I don’t get TikTok. Didn’t get Vine, either. Guess I’ll stay a dinosaur watching YouTube instead.

What... the... hell... did I just watch. I watched the first five vids and every single one of them is cringe worthy. I guess I truly am old and out of touch. Even though I don’t get into watching streamers, I can at least understand the appeal. But this crap? Yikes.

Trying to remember the name of a bar that was at a specific location that you used to occasionally visit 25 years ago but has now turned over at least 5 times? Good luck. I’ve noticed that it’s really hard to find any business history on-line just by googling. Your personal data won’t be much different. I’m guessing…

lol. its probably on the wayback machine.

Will My Data Be Online Forever?

TL;DR - “no”

‘Online’ is a relative term. There are basically 6 major types of data that rule our everyday lives and can be accessed by the right people:

It should concern advertisers that people who sign up for Facebook and similar sites (kinja.com, classmates.com, etc.) never die. Maybe at some time in the future the computer will come along and wipe off all people who appear to be ~102 yrs old. Meanwhile when they are setting advertising rates, they are including…

Mostly under the assumption of fair use.

I don’t agree with the unlimited copies part. When the library buys a physical book, they only get one copy. So it doesn’t make sense for the New York Library to buy 1 copy at $15 that can be read simultaneously by 1000 residents. But it should be a lifetime license for the same price the public pays. I could see a…

fingers crossed a ton of his supporters lose family to this virus, and they’re unhinged enough to kill him and pence.

Is this author incompetent at reading the article they quoted/cited? The order is completely wrong in here.

Completely agree, having an ebook cost more than a mass market paperback book is completely a rip off.

While I understand the need for a publisher to make money, even from libraries, it should never cost more than what the pupbic can purchase it for and it should be a lifetime license and unlimited copies. What the publishers are doing is forcing people to obtain ebooks in a questionable manner, because most people are…

I take solace from the fact that I am one anonymous face among the crowd. Not anonymous in the sense that you couldn't find me if you went looking, just that you have no reason to single me out over the person standing next to me.

Fred H. Cate seems to be the only one who gets it. Your data isn’t “online” folks, it’s digital and sorted and stored and sold by the likes of Epsilon and Axciom and now 1837392919383728 small shady data brokers. The problem is and has been data brokers, and it isn’t going anywhere. Your data is going to be collected…

That picture of my penis from 1999 is probably still floating around. At least I still hope it is.
