Agree. Also the new Kobo Libra 2 has a dark mode option (white text on black background).

We would like to do that - lime we do with PCs - because we're nerds. It would be a veeeery small market, just like people who build PCs

IDK, I just love the fact that this is basically implying that web3 is already dead

Some of them may not have a choice, though, if their internal rules say that they can't be associated with porn. Also it's not only payment processors, but also advertisers and, most importantly, investors. Imagine if all the stock holders, overnight, effectively found themselves investing in porn. Lots of them would be (or feel) obligated to sell their stock. Remember Amazon is an American company, and porn is not taken lightly in the US

It's not that simple. Porn is a huge risk for a company, especially if it's user-generated content. You have to police access against underage kids who want to watch that content, and also have an enormous team devoted to immediately take down CSAM.

Lots of payment processors and advertisers do not want to associate themselves with porn because there are too many PR risks. Ask Pornhub how difficult it is to be a porn company on the internet, they've had lots of thorny problems. Or look at Reddit and how it's handling porn content before the IPO: they can't outright ban it or they'll lose users (e.g. Tumblr, another great example of what I'm talking about), so they are trying to hide it as much as possible.

Basically trying to monetize porn is not worth the headache. Last but not least, because there is so much free porn around. Risking so much to gain a few users that could go somewhere else in a whim is REALLY not worth it

Have you tried using actual punctuation? Rofl

This response was more in depth than anything I was expecting. Thanks! As a newly minted father, the idea of sleeping bags with feet is kinda cool, should I start co-sleeping. Again thanks for your response

Turns out we actually did not need nor want to hear so much from other people.

The situation here in Switzerland is similar. Every time I go to the grocery store, it's full of people (especially kids) that cough on everything and everyone. A couple of my colleages at work came in sick from what turned out to be covid. I somehow managed to avoid getting infected.

Last week a person in a supermarket basically coughed on me while passing by, and now I have a cold. According to the rapid tests (which are still available here, fortunately) it's not covid, but still. The pandemic has not taught us anything.

Yeah, it's the classic "works for me" problem
