When companies tell you they respect your privacy and you should give them your data, you tell them it doesn't matter. Because policies can change, and at the end of the day, your privacy isn't always up to an single company.
Wait. This was last year, so not the capitol riot. What happened in January last year? I'm in a decent mood today. Just going to skip looking deeper into this one. I have Factorio to play!
"BUT MAH FREEDOMS!"
Using the internet without everyone and their grandmother spying on them and blocking access to stuff the busybodies don't personally like.
To be fair, a lot of monopolies are great in the beginning. It's the inevitable power-tripping downslide that sucks.
I still love Steam and Valve though.
Calm down there Satan.
...squeeze your meat?
I guess that does make me happy.
Bet it's done in such a way that they can claim "We're just optimizing for Chrome, not slowing down any competitors. It's not our fault our competitors don't using our web engine for their browsers."
I mentioned similar shading behavior on another post, when using Firefox with Chrome or native user agents on the plain old Google search page.
The far future: A man sits at a table, staring at a floating hologram display. He watches as an indecipherable block of alphanumeric characters wiggles and splits into two segments. He nods slowly.
He takes a breath and closes his eyes, broadcasting a message to everyone on duty that day.
"Merge the request. Tell Linus#3418 that Wayland is now the default display manager."
Man, I got to say that as a cis gay guy, it absolutely warms my heart to see our trans siblings in the community have support and understanding as they grow up. I never had that, and even though there's a lot of transphobia and shit in my country that needs to be fixed ASAP, the fact that things are even just a little bit better for the next generation truly gives me hope for the future.
The part about them going to the beach and just having fun without having to give a shit had been grinning like an idiot. I know that was made possible by the top surgery, but still. It was such a sweet moment in the article.
As a pescatarian, I would 100% be fine with eating non-fish meat if it was lab grown and not farmed.
This shit should be a revolution, not banned. Save animals and have cruelty free meat. Win-win
As pretty much any political minority will tell you, the country constantly uses us like ping pong balls and cat toys to win elections or internal battles.
I am sick of my rights, welfare, sense of safety, and hope for the future being dangled in front of me and ripped away over and over again so billionaires and career politicians can be greedy.
So, yeah. Not interested in serving. If my country wants me to fight for it, then it should fight for me as well.
If a company does something bad, you can sue to fix it.
Suing sets legal precedent and forces all companies to abide by the ruling, more or less.
But now if a company tricks you out of your right to sue by putting arbitration clauses in everything, then you can't sue. You can only have a (hopefully) impartial third part tell the company to stop doing something specifically to you. The company is still free to keep doing the thing to everyone else, and their arbitration doesn't affect any other companies also doing bad things.
There are other issues too.
