This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Terms of Service: The Length of Common Digital Contracts Do you take the time to read the terms of service before you agree to when downloading the latest app or software?

I love it when they force you to scroll. It’s such theater.

I wonder if any such company tried to use this as evidence in court: "the defendant has scrolled through the terms so the statement that he hasn't read them is not factual"
