It is a well-known description for what each brand calls something different. As I wait in a physiotherapist office I am being subjected to a soap opera against my will. Many will have seen snippets of The Bold and the Beautiful without watching a single episode, but enough to know that it looks 'different'.

Kind of amazing that calling their product "Core 2 Duo" was considered their safe branding choice before this.

Search, music streaming, books: heavily consolidated markets where the value-based offering has supremacy (Google vs any paid search; Spotify/Apple Music vs Tidal; Amazon vs anything). It's the market supremacy that generally allows this.

If quality were a sufficiently motivating aspect, Google's deteriorating search wouldn't be a constant theme on this site, and people on the street would know where to download and play a FLAC file.

You might be conflating capitalism (owning things like factories) with consumerism (buying things like widgets).

If all of the factory owners discover a type of widget to sell that can incidentally drive down wages the more units they move, it's unlikely for consumers to be provided much choice in their future widgets.

NPM will automate Let's Encrypt certificate generation but you're right about the other listed features.

I can go into an art gallery but I may not touch the works. Often there aren't physical barriers but we all understand some behaviours are not acceptable.

Similarly, publication of an image on the internet is not implicit permission to use it for any possible purpose, however technically feasible. For example, deepfakes.

This is easily solved. Particularly as industry is such a large contributor to GHG emissions, imposing a carbon tax on industry and possibly even allowing grandfathering allows the costs to be baked in to (only) future considerations, and makes cleaner companies more competitive compared to dirtier ones.

Why are you happy that people are out of a job here? You still suffer the ills of the product, now infinitely more incessant, at a marginal cost of $0.

It's not that ironic; it's a web page that contains far more information that one might expect in any but the largest of emails.

The web is where the eyeballs are and nobody's going to convince anyone of a new idea by wrapping whole-page content in a <pre> tag, no matter the idealological purity this would reveal. To reduce friction (already created by telling someone to potentially change email clients) with readers the author needs to speak the visual language of the medium.

Does paperless have the same support for workflows and indexes as Mayan? I use these two features heavily to automatically place documents into a hierarchy (eg payslips into their financial year). That and the ability to add arbitrary fields like 'parent', which then means I can created a linked list style association between documents, for example a series of correspondence. It's been a while since I looked at paperless and its forks, but I understand it's not quite built to have such extensibility/flexibility?

Some of the utility is that if you're on an IPv6-only connection that uses 464XLAT and are trying to connect to a host, DNS lookups are required for the 4-to-6 translation process.

FreshRSS is brilliant. Its ability to fetch full pages, filter CSS elements and utilise session cookies from my browser make it very easy to get a full-text article from most websites I'm interested in. If you're able to spend a little time fine-tuning after you set it up, it can be a very rewarding installation.
