Re: Wrong, this is in the best interests of many users!
I call bullshit bob.
I all but guarantee that if you want to go to legit places to pay your fair share you're not using google to get there. If you've found a legit place that lets you pay your fair share and actually has what you want.. why the fuck would you search google?
I expect google to *find anything* related to my search, rank it by relative and popularity *then* insert their top three ad purchasers. Anything less is manipulating results for someone else. I'm not someone else, bob, I'm me.
Many users want what they're searching for, who the fuck are you or Google or fuck-off-any*AA asshat to tell me what I want?
translated:
six strikes : anonymous encapsulation
payment processor industry agreement = wait, people payed?
ad network best practices : click and win?
burial at sea : we never saw the body
judicial oversight : sovereign immunity
Nobody has lost anything of any consequence.
And the only thing missing is your boat.
Is it just me or have you completely over-fucking-looked just who is doing the fucking sniveling?
Hm. I actually like this question. It indicates quite clearly that not only are folks petulant on "both" sides but one side, exporters, are only interested in making money their way. They're implying that they have every right in the universe to "do things their way". Fact is, they do and they do. The other fact is they seem to be the only ones that like it. Heat and pressure.
Once you can get out of your silly little heads that control is not, any longer, where the good money is then I think we'll be on a better path towards mutual satisfaction.
Set the bar lower, not higher. Be your own partner for once and perhaps you can learn to please yourself on the path to discovering how to please others.
"got this instead"... that's kind of the point. nobody is actually "getting" anything. Certainly not who you think will get something. They've achieved enough getting something for nothing for quite some time now don't you think?
Everything they're doing, apart from actually making media, is imposing they're outdated will on said media. Not gonna work anymore. Technology has rendered such an attempt as untenable. What once was hidden is now seen.
I'm a pirate apologist because pirates do it better. The way you appear to prefer these things get done is to subscribe/submit/remit to "Copyright Authority" a.k.a. cunts anonymous.
How about some authorization? Seems a bit overdue.
Stop completely missing and misconstruing the point.
Apple and Amazon both suck - they're band-aids, stop-gaps and "this will do - this is all we can do" distribution. They're just another brand for sale accompanied and encumbered by the same old restriction sets with the same catalogs licensed from the same people for the same, approximate, costs. Yeah, sure, we win.(/s)
They're squeezing the teet and, yet, there is no more milk that's going to come out of it - cow is dead.
I wonder what the future holds.
In other words - the only "casualty" from Google's actions are those having their legit shit squashed. (Gee, I wonder who cares)
Google is just an index - filter it however you please - any way you can - put alll the good shit up top. So.. what now?
No Bob. We're the fucking little guy. Got that? Not Google, not the artist and definitely not the MAFIAA folks. Us. You, me and your sister's nephew's cousin.
Quite simply - they're not making readily available the things that are readily available - in a manner consistent with technology.
To hell with ALL the middle men. They're all a little last decade. Put it up, charge reasonable admission (FROM ANYWHERE, ON ANY PLATFORM, AT ANY TIME) and ... profit??
Pirate "sites" are, how do I put this.. obsolete. Not entirely unlike some folks' thinking on matters of entertainment and educational media.
oshwa needs a new mark. osi needs to let any current stamping move forward and find solace in the knowledge that it, the current mark, will be changed and any existing presence will be diluted with a new mark moving forward.
oshwa needs a smack for even submitting the mark for use, crowd sourced or not. For fuck's sake, it's even got rounded corners.. they should really know better.
Aren't their quite a few current members of Congress that can be held to account for their votes for those laws that passed by both houses and were signed in by the past president?
By held to account I do not mean hanging out and waiting for elections where those same elections are grossly over influenced by and for money. Clearly this is not ideal when party structures have fully adapted to that influence leaving the actual people that vote groveling for some sanity in representation that first and foremost abides the US Constitution in both letter and spirit.
By held to account I mean that every currently standing yes vote on that nice bundle of laws pushed by an authoritarian executive administration be grouped together and impeached? Then impose a (the going modern significant fine for this day and age, say $600,000.00US)on all yes votes up to and including final signatories.
You see, I'm of the mind that we, the people, are the authoritarian masters of our government only I just can't see how these other branches can be brought to task, in a meaningful way, without force. It is a quandary that will only get worse as illustrated by the current situation.
If this topic does not or can not find its way to the US Supreme Court and in relatively short order at that then we are supremely screwed and will, in fact, be a corralled people.
As it stands the US Government executive branch led and representative financed departments are, officially, above the law. That is no conspiracy theory. Now, who is the authority henceforth? Cookie-puss or her supervisor?
To anyone that made it this far: if you happen to be thinking that the economy is going to save you from making any sort of decision or from giving any serious thought to this matter and its potential for some pretty significant repercussions for this and future generations then I'll take odds against and place my bet.
The progression in the last decade, if you've been paying attention, truly paying attention, is nothing short of ominous. Prophetic signs they are not. This is today.
I'm at a bit of a loss. I'm horrified by how potentially significant that loss truly is. We're so young, we've come so far, we've cradled the bastard step son of capitalism and even now we still let it suckle. We've inadvertently built and allowed a humongous engine of bureaucracy that seems to see us and treat us for what it truly wants us to be - the engine of its economy, not much more, not much less. I'm afraid that they're forgetting something. I am afraid for the consequences that will result if they can not be made to remember that something. We do not have enough guns and, more importantly, we do not seem to have enough able bodied men to wield the ones we do have. If history has anything to teach us it has taught us that this cyclical road is short. The last laugh will be a dying one and the last tear will be dry.
Holy sweet mother of a comment box! I think I'm pissed.
It lends legitimacy to something that doesn't really deserve it. To bob's attempt at a point - being able to contribute by disagreeing is a perfectly legit one, however, some things really do need to be substantiated with more than the likes of "Because you're a fat pirate, bitch.".
That said, "troll" is an oft overused label applied carelessly and with intent to berate and belittle those with minority opinions on any given thread/topic. (key word: opinions)
Be sincere, be truthful, hold to your opinions only until it is proven to be untenable. You can even be nice if you really want to but you should probably try, even if it's hard, to be respectful. Other people are smarter than other people. Learn or burn.
OK, OK there fuckface. Let's just say you have some sort of thing vaguely resembling a point. Now, let's say we have some video OR we have a couple of selected participants in the raid give some testimony about whether or not the police response was appropriate given the level of risk posed.
Not "AND" but "OR". What is the fucking point of even asking for opinions from an able bodied law enforcer doing their job when you have fucking video that has the potential to tell you exactly how well they're doing their job? What's the point? The point is that subjectivity is multiplied tenfold, hundredfold. My word against yours and you're a fat fuck (convicted felon) and I'm a sworn upholder of the law is all. I'd listen to me too.
There is nothing that I've found that attempts to speak to WHY the video is suppressed, nothing.
Unless you're a just another pretty fucking ignorant excuse for maximalist you're playing your hand at simply being pretty fucking ignorant.
Some of us are actually interested in the ongoing developments and applications of creative and selective law enforcement techniques that are in use to support the currently apropos selective justice programs.
Your guess is just that. (hint: it alludes to your under-informed yet majority voting bloc tendencies - a failure of ultimate comprehension and complete disregard for the truth)
No, no, no. Simply not true. These folks are "guided" by the law thus affording themselves the required knowledge and foresight to properly and effectively suppress, circumvent, shield, misdirect, abuse, deceive and manipulate the delivery of selective justice.
All the app stores have gone mad. There is a vicious cycle of progression towards "permission" controls.
Andoid can be sort of open, iOS can be made open, WebOS was way open (came fully enabled and root accessible upon possession)
"Your (insert thing here) does|did|will not meet our guidelines|policies|rules|whims."
Official branded app stores officially suck.
Any indy app developer, one can hope, will have some sort of alternate means of distribution (You know, if they're allowed to) because it is painfully clear that somebody in any sort of control over any sort of thing will aim to further and solidify that control. Apart from the consumers of course who, more and more every day, get no fucking say whatsoever apart from their combined purchasing power.
Google, in short, is starting to suck just as much as the next guy. And yes, they're awfully and woefully inadequate on their communications and support abilities.
The current platform paradigm is doomed. The peak is already in sight imho.
