Stop using websites that don't respect their users

They've done this multiple times, no?

When they change plans like this, they should have to turn off auto-renewals for impacted accounts. It is fundamentally a new contract, and they likely cannot guarantee the new terms have been read.

That's not a trusted service anymore

I'll take your word for it, but I must have missed that.

(I thought it was just archive.today that was untrustworthy—it seems it's also archive.ph and archive.is, and perhaps others. It would be nice if there were a substitute already.)


I'm not sure what you mean by "school screen time" ? Smart board?


That should be illegal, as it's not an open platform


I agree, but it isn’t.


That'd be illegal in a lot of jurisdictions. Even residential collection of rainwater is often capped


Like a virus, that little fact slipped into your brain and set up shop there.[1] Would you be interested to know that it isn't true (in the sense that you think it is)? Would it make you sit up and strengthen your mental defenses? I hope so.

I just picked 8 random states [2], picked a random suburb of major cities, and looked up the laws around rainwater collection. It's illegal in NONE of them.

[1] - Not only that, it became strong enough for it to easily overrule the idea of data centers, which are by their nature given concessions by the government, could every conceivably collect rainwater!

[2] - Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri, California, Nevada


Not sure what you're on about. I'm sharing what I know to be true from places I've lived


Really? Well, I guess the over-generalization of this factoid is a pet peeve of mine, and I jumped into action to correct what didn't need corrected.


Tuta has unlimited addresses for sending


And doesn't work in Apple Mail. Why are all the replies in this thread recommending things that don't meet the criteria in the article?


It should be illegal to not have them


Probably should also have spend controls for gambling too but seems like we're a long ways off from good legislation there.


Agreed. Or at least, customers should only be liable for expenses they incur up to the hard caps they set.

If you don’t have a mechanism for enforcing hard caps, you don’t get to send customers a bill for unlimited amounts.


Everyone in this thread should be vibe coding legislation with lean 4. We can at least have utopia for a couple months.


we should make it illegal to be unhappy too, that way we can solve depression!


Anytime someone says “there sight to be a law that…” there almost always shouldn’t be.


Haha what


So this is in response to the Canadian tariffs because they're going to jack up auto manufacturing costs?


This is a handout to the US oil and gas industry and US legacy auto. It also eventually kills US legacy auto (as China will consume global light vehicle TAM with cheap EVs). It’s maximizing short-term profits at the expense of long-term longevity.

Another “the US economy is being stripmined” data point.
