Right wing media convinces their viewers that any media which conflicts with their viewpoint is fake news. This perspective is super alarming because it makes it super hard to construct an argument when every set of proof is considered a lie and propaganda.

No they usually abuse them so they wanna keep that under wraps, like the Catholic priests they kept moving from church to church instead of sending to the cops.

"I've never seen it therefore it must not have happened". I can't imagine how you're a parent while thinking human experience revolves around you.

Ahh don't we all love it when Republicans accuse everyone of cheating and then go out to cheat? I'm sorry you had to go through that

Problem with their logic is that, as stated in the article, goods such as preserved books are already used for recreation. Your idea that a catalogue of old media would prevent consumption of new media is provably false by example. People read old books and it doesn't stop them from reading new ones. Can you imagine saying this exact same thing about music? People's tastes change over time and they like new things- old things don't stop us from consuming the new things. All the copyright lobbyists are doing is preventing the public from enjoying old games that can no longer be played because the hardware is dated or there are no viable copies left.

I imagine that- like their size- they wouldn't want you to know

You're deliberately ignoring our complaints- I was misled by your writing implying that the browser itself is completely closed source and that it's impossible to inspect the inner workings of its adblock, which as pointed out to you is FALSE (because only the UI is closed source) and thus misleading. I am not going to talk to you about your strawman. I'm also not making any implications about required technical expertise to assess these adblocks, but if we are to go by your assumption, perhaps you are not qualified to make this article if you cannot get the data required to make a proper assessment? Either way, I'm not sure why you're so against adding your article clearer- a few words would've done the job.

If you have examples, maybe you can report it on their issue tracker? I wish the browser had built-in ways to report problems like how amd's bug reporter works

I was actually under the impression the whole browser was closed. Thanks for the clarification

I'm not the person who you're replying to (just another reader) but I felt misled after reading the clarification here in the forums that the source IS available for the adblock portion. I was under the impression (from your article) that the users could not inspect the code at all because of the same wording the person calls out. If they (and obviously others like myself) were misled by the writing, would it not be better just to fix it instead of arguing?

That's wild that it wasn't full time. IRS now defines 30 as full-time thankfully

Tbh Overwatch is already 8 years old. If they picked up the game as a teenager when it was most popular, chances are they can vote. While there are a lot of teens who play the game, there's quite a large 20s demographic
