This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

        Most not worth cost for each consumer but yes for mass producer. Class action is counterweight.

        most of the contracts we sign (like EULA) are just total nonsense. They make a mockery of the courts.
