What about all of those congress critters that get that big bad "socialized medicine" that the common people can't (funny how it is fine when it is for them isn't it.)? I bet that costs a shit ton given the average age of congress critters. How about we make some cuts there?

I recognize that news outlets have bills to pay, and I am generally willing to pay for something when it is worth it to me. But they all need to realize that not all of them can get away with a $10-$20 a month subscription fee. That is as unsustainable as the current advertising in every square inch of free space and data broker model.

A far more healthy for the entire news ecosystem would be accounts linked to your online IDP services of choice (Google, Apple, Microsoft, whoever else has one they want to support) and things like Google Pay/Apple Pay. Then you pay some small usage fee like power/water/toll roads. Then how much you give any given outlet depends on how much of their stuff you use.

That would refocus news on being things people want to read and less on advertising influence as well as cut back on the rampant consolidation that is and will continue to come of the current models.

Cool I guess. But I still find Brave to be a sketchy organization with how they have done some of their schemes to make money over the years. So will continue to avoid anything they make.

In my experience working with devs at game studios (i'm a sysadmin/infra engineer type by trade), it is rarely them that is so against open sourcing code, or giving fans of the game the tools needed to keep it going on their own once the devs move on. Most of the devs I have dealt with would like nothing more than to see the thing they created live on and be enjoyed by people, even if they are not personally getting paid for it 10 years down the line.

It is nearly always the executives looking to make sure no one manages to enjoy something the people that work for them created without the c-suite getting paid for it first that is the road block.

He would have to even think about them to do that. I doubt the ground level costs of his actions and choices ever enter his mind in any real way.

It feels weird to be in support of the goals of an Iranian hacker group.

Someone needs to walk by with the Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby" song playing.

People that disagree about fundamental things in life tend to not be good matches romantically....news at 11.

Tune in Saturday to watch our round table where several overly serious and over paid people discuss why the relationship between the Jewish woman and her literal Nazi husband fell apart.

Won't monetize it "to death", just right up to the line of death.

Wew, my raging negativity will keep them from buying my data then.

The average person doesn't like violent civil unrest, shocking.

Also, I bet you can mess with the numbers to mean about anything you want by changing what classifies as "violent". A lot of people include property destruction in their definition of violence. But a lot of other people don't and only consider that property damage.
