I already do. I also want to pay my way.

The problem is what I'd like doesn't exist (I'm not going to subscribe you a million different websites and still not even be ad free) and probably can't. How much do all the ads I'm blocking cost? It'd be ripe for abuse but I'd essentially like a taxi meter, but it would charge me for website use from just one central account that I top up or is part of my internet bill or whatever.

I want the whole business model of using ads and tracking to pay for the internet to not exist.

Anyone notice how the thumbnails for each row are essentially the same, even with their order?

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Yes I'm also the same way with ads. I'd happily spend more for internet if there was somehow an "ad surcharge" that would mean I'd never see ads or be tracked. Let me pay whatever the advertisers pay.

It's too big. I couldn't get a phone the same size as my old one without sacrificing the micro sd slot so I ended up with something bigger than ideal

I really don't understand what point she even thought she was making?? Of course they wouldn't, it's an active conflict area, and that conflict is what has people worked up....

I'm guessing the human ones as you'll need to hold them until they're strong enough to hold up their own heads. Maybe then you switch to the horse ones for convenience

They're careful to make sure the bottle still looks the same from the front, but from the side you can see the difference.

Cute picture. I bet the story is made up though and it's the parent taking the picture

Firstly, the energy output falls far short of what would be needed for a commercial reactor, barely creating enough to heat a bath. Worse than that, the ratio is calculated using the lasers’ output, but to create that 2.1 megajoules of energy, the lasers draw 500 trillion watts, which is more power than the output of the entire US national grid. So these experiments break even in a very narrow sense of the term.

It's so refreshing to see an article at least mention the way these tests are measured are based on the energy just in the laser itself and not the total energy used.

I keep missing the vote buttons and accidentally tap on comments which then collapses them. I've accidentally collapsed/expanded some comments several times trying to vote.

Is there a setting somewhere I'm not seeing that changes this? Maybe to a long press or force needing to use the three dot menu to collapse instead.

This is why I couldn't take the Ready Player One movie seriously. Gamers would've figured that shit out in a few hours

There's this super frustrating trend where instead of making the paid version of things better, they just make the free version worse. Like how you used to be able to do background play on the YouTube app. It's like they know these features are good so implement them to attract people to use their service, and then later take it away to force the subscription.
