“RoboCop was released in American theaters on July 17, 1987

The reason the tv show did nothing, was that it was a political and social satire that didn’t particularly appeal to some of the viewers expecting a violent action series. While those who would  appreciate it didn’t watch because they thought it was a violent action flick.

The TV show always showed at least once, the characters watching a tv advertisement which was just like our dumbest worst ads, but a little more so. Just enough beyond what we had then to make you wonder if they really were advertising that drug or was it part of the show. Also, thinking back to the clinton presidency, when they left an overcrowded health clinic, with dying people in the hallways unable to get treatment, the sign at the door said, “Hillary Clinton Health Clinic” if you were paying enough attention to catch it.

The Robocop in the tv show, never hurt humans. When fired upon by “bad guys”, he would shoot into a corner, which would ricochet to a chain holding an overhead light which would fall down knocking the gun from his hand. Then Robo would gently cuff him and take him in.

Vivaldi teamed up with DuckDuckGo using the DDG privacy essentials to stop trackers. They use a common open block list (I think it is easy list) for ad blocking. Their Android browser also uses them so ads and trackers are blocked there too. Nothing else is needed.

I believe we should be warned when software links to “free” software that is not free for many readers. I do not like cheating developers and was annoyed when my download of Tweaking Windows had an update an I saw that it is not free for commercial use and there was a technicians paid version which was what I should be using if I am honest. I cannot have the free version of that program in my “tool kit”, only the paid Technician version.

This was a good article, but it contained links to software it was not ethical for me to use without paying for. This should be disclosed prominently in the article.
