It is gonna suck.

You can read paywalled articles. You aren't considering that possibilty because you think you're entitled to everything for free, and you think your commentary is so valuable that it should always be made available to you because otherwise you can't participate? It isn't. If that's not your point, what is it?

We all block advirtisements, so if the pervasive attitude towards paying for written articles is hostile, what are we left with? I guess AI can replace human writers and that will be just fine.

You're not really making a point. Of course, you may not be trying to.

Not every post is for everyone. (And like Rachel said, not reading an article has not typically prevented people from entering a discussion and I don't think it ever will. That's often perfectly fine, someone can offer insight in response to what people are saying in the comments.) Imagine an interesting, long form article written by an independent writer whose livelihood depends on subscriptions. So not a news story with many alternatives, in other words. Why shouldn't someone link to it, and say "here's a great article, I recommend subscribing to this writer?"

Seemed like an appropriate thing to post, but I guess it's not what this community wants. 😏

So a pretty unpopular opinion, huh?

I usually associate it more with Intel since they certify Thunderbolt devices on all the non-Apple hardware and that's all I use. I forgot Apple had anything to do with it.

I really don't think even half of Trump voters voted for him because they think God wanted them to, and Trump voters don't make up half the population.

Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.

I use it to make all decisions, including what I will do each day and what I will say to people. I take no responsibility for any of my actions. If someone doesn't like something I do, too bad. The genius AI knows better, and I only care about what it has to say.

I was using the flatpak on Linux.
